Is it pointless to get an FAA License ? Also why are Drones grounded for pesticides spraying on farms ?
>>2957294If you use them for work, probably best to jump through the hoops. They'll probably look at your tax info and check you out. For hobby stuff, I flip off the FAA daily. They can piss up a rope if they think I'm going to all that trouble just for them. I fly to escape, and not think about their bureaucracy.

Had cash. Wasn't rude. What tradesman faux pas did I commit?>>2956313This was by far the best solution, and i put that to one of them when they said they couldn't just weld the keyway, and he knew what i meant but just didn't like that idea at all. So I'm going to weld the bar stock into the keyway myself, lock tight one of those inserts you pictured into it, i can tap the threads into the wheel myself. How to bore the belt wheel metric without any proper tools? Hand fit, careful measurements, a file, marker dye, more cold weld compound. That part is at least anchored.Comment too long.

>>2957284>2957284 #youre going to have to find a small time independent guy that works alone out of a his garage or such. only because its kinda an assache job with a high failure probability compared to standard commercial work. ask at the local independent auto parts (ie not autozone) if theres a local repairman that does heavy equipment. those guys dilligaf as long as you have cash. id do it if youre in the 123w45n gegraphic regionas far as the taperlok flange you need a matching sheave because it works like a collet to grip the shaft. the sheave has a tapered bore that compresses the hub. the qd style use a set screw but that isnt much better than what you have with the og pulleyyou really need to find somebody with a welder or get a cheapie and do it yourself because cold weld epoxy is a joke for something like this unless you use $2000 devcon and even then its iffy
>>2957284I think they probably told you to join the far queue because welding up or messing with keyways in any way shape or form is generally taboo. I mean, keyways as badly damaged as yours. As for making it stronger, having 2 keyways on the same shaft diametrically opposed is a thing.
I can't have a smoker in the apartment I'm in, but I badly want a smoker. I am just enough of a redneck to know as long as your heat isn't that high you can make a smoker out of litterly anything that slows the smoke down from just blowing away. Now the issue with all my designs is they still roll enough smoke to get the FD called on me. I need to figure out a way to keep good air flow but reduce smoke coming out of the smoker.Also it needs to be small. Like Webber kettle grill sized.I am thinking a wet sponge or even wet wash clothes over a chimney might be the key.Let me know what you all are thinking.
>>2956075Can't you smoke it somewhere else, like where you work? I've moved quite a lot of private stuff into the office. I have my own private cooking niche, and herb, chive, and cherry tomato planters at the windows. A few old laptops I gathered are running Stable Diffusion there to make hentai. I call it expanding my living space.
>>2956643I 100% could find a place to do it if I wanted. I am just trying to maybe smoke up a little meat every now and again and it's much easier at home. Asking a friend if I can come over and put my meats in a smoker for a few hours makes it sound like I don't want to just chill with them.But I think going to a buds house might be the move.
>>2956075Maybe you can use longer pipes in order to disperse the smoke, it should be the same principle as the Russian Siberian ovens. You can also use a filter, cotton balls maybe, or you can try some pine branches, just make sure that the smoke is cold.
>>2956740...zuck?
>>2956075Why not just buy a GE indoor smokerThey aren't that expensive compared to the fine you'll get from the fire dept when your neighbors call them on you

Absolutely NOT a "tech guy". 45y/o tradeworker, left off at DOS & Qbasic in '93. Found some 2016 tech during eviction remodel: 2016 Galaxy Tab-A and 2016 HP Stream 11. Do not be fooled; all the "tekkie lingo", specs and processes I will be citing are new to me, learned over the course of these projects. I knew absolutely fuck-all about it before I started.SM-T580 tablet has 2gb ram. when found, it was running Android Oreo. slow as shit and no storage space for anything. I could surf the web and shitpost on Chan, but had no space for memes, Pepes and/or videos. did lots of research and relied on Grok for a fair amount of process. that said, NOTHING was easy aboot this... for me. I found the tablet and craptop last December. tablet has been in a bedside table since it had no storage and was too slow to be of practical use. I will try to outline the entire 2 day ordeal (15 fucking hours) as succinct and condensed as possible. I found a 32GB micro SDHC card while tearing oot the carpet & padding in a remodel. my first thought was "COOL! I can double the eMMC storage on my Linux Stream Craptop!" however, after a quick discussion with Grok, I decided my first use of it would be to flash a new OS onto the Samsung Tablet. did a little research into available OS options and learned aboot the basic hardware/software that operates little phones, tablets, etc. quite different from "regular" computers, it turns oot. Decided on "LineageOS" for what is essentially a clone of Android 13 but with full current patch and security support. I found the Lineage file on some website, perhaps Github, unsure exactly where. I was also told that I needed to I stall "MindTheGapps" to access Google app store and run anything other than basic web browser on it. I started my questionable journey at 8:00 Saturday morning. I wrote the aforementioned files onto SD then connected tablet to craptop via USB data cable, which I used to install something called TWRP by "TeamWin".

since this post came back from the dead, I'll update with my latest freebie score: FINTIE folio keyboard folio FREE from Amazon Vine. it's not for my exact model, so the tablet clamp brackets are ~1mm too wide, but it has a mediocre magnetic hold and I added two 2cm squares of velcro tape on one side, then just use the clamp brackets on the other side with a bit of added magnetic assist. works perfect. no one would ever notice its not an exact match. camera cutout does not line up, but whatever... I can pop the tablet out in .2 seconds and I rarely take photos with it anyway. The Bluetooth keyboard works perfect.perfect timing for zombie post to come shambling back to page 1, since the folio protective case and keyboard arrived tonight.as for>>2957247that's fine. we are 90% debt free. we only owe $75k on our mortgage. when that's paid off, I'm scaling back. I am in pretty decent condition for my age & occupation, but I am starting to feel the wear.
I built this DIY antenna out of an old coax cable. I used some garden snips to cut off one end and strip off the shielding (I don't recommend you do this, it's tedious as fuck and you gotta be extremely careful not to cut off the copper bits) and arranged the copper into a dipole.I can only get 1 channel with this antenna, as this thing can only pick up stuff VHF transmissions that are really strong. I've tried repositioning the copper elements to better receive signals to no avail. This pic is my third version, the copper is bent to try and make it a bowtie.I'll buy an antenna on Amazon, but I would still love advice on how to improve this antenna I made, namely increasing it's effectiveness and picking up UHF signals. I can only do suggestions that can be done easily at home, no power tools, additional devices to buy, etc. Preferably something with aluminum foil and cardboard.
>>2955369build a very big antenna. you may be able to harvest enough power to light a LED.
>>2954495the first thing you have to do is figure out which of your stations are on UHF and which are still on VHF. you can't make a proper antenna without knowing what band.also take it from someone who has made several TV antennas. just go buy one. but ignore claims of distance, they are bullshit. you can't pickup much more than 20 miles.look up antenna man on youtube. he tests antennas.
>>2954683rotate it 90 degrees
>>2954495Ayo wassup. You no have no reception without a proper balun. >>2954505>>2954683Deez zesty nigga know what I'm talking about.>>2954505>unidirectional antenna like a YagiDon't get played like this. Yagi is directional AF once you tune the parasites which you can't if you don't have $20 chinese nano vna.Just make a half length dipole or dipole array and make the balun out of some peace of coax( you can use roughly 1/4 of the wavelength although it does not work that way and you don't have the equipment for precise match anyway.)Basically, if you only have TV to test, you can make halflengrh dipole and reflector with the help of tape ruler and add the first parasite based on reception. Don't forget the balun. They look weird AF , don't get too much into theory, you won't understand it anyway. Just google how coax balun looks and slap it on anyway
>>2955427>but ignore claims of distance, they are bullshit. you can't pickup much more than 20 miles.I can consistently get stations from 55 miles away, though that's with picrel mounted outside on the roof.
I'm looking at a house tomorrow. Originally booked the tour for the lols, but now I'm legitimately considering going through if I don't find anything too egregious tomorrow. What sort of things should I look for/ask the agent?As for the house itself, it's the definition of a fixer-upper. I'm okay with that, I was gonna renovate whatever home I bought anyways.
>>2956734Irony 9000
Hire an inspector for each component of the house. General inspectors are too retarded to actually know any and will hide behind their contract as why they missed something. For the foundation, get a foundation pro. Sewer, get a plumber. You will be getting an electrician either way so might as well get a pro trades man for each item. It wont actually cost that much more either.

What parts do I need for a system that opens and closes a small hatch on a 12 hour timer? I can handle mechanical parts myself, but am certifiably retarded when it comes to electronics.

Scrappy here again and I have found a gold mine, but with a hitch. Behind an electrical contractor's building there are some dumpsters that always contain beer cans and copper wires. Copper wires can get good money, especially the bare ones. But there is a homeless male living in a tent here and he says that all of it is his and he threatened to cut me. I told one of the electricians and he said that the cops won't do anything. This situation is intolerable because the dumpsters are often full when the hauler arrives, so the bum actually collects nothing. What can I throw into his tent to neutralize him while I collect?
>>2955328If you are not willing to get into a knife fight with a bum, then scrapping may not be for you.

When I try to remove severed bolts using a regular drill bit and bolt extractor, it almost never works. It only works like 1 out of 10 times if I’m lucky.Do left drill hand drill bits work? How many times out of 10 would you estimate does it work?
>>2951377Either get a bolt extractor or if that doesn't work just drill it the entire bolt and re-tap the threading

>>2951377>Do left drill hand drill bits work?They drill holes when you can't use a right-hand bit for whatever reason. They're not tools for extracting broken bolts if that's what you thought.>>2951524>Using a regular drill bit then an extractor after almost never works.What problem are you having specfically? Is the extractor breaking? Is the extractor slipping? Are you having trouble drilling the hole in the first place? Which of these problems do you think a left-handed drill bit might solve?
>>2957161>They drill holes when you can't use a right-hand bit for whatever reason.Name one reason you couldn't use a right hand twist bit and could instead use a left hand twist bit. They are sold specifically for removing broken off bolts.
>>2957237>Name one reason you couldn't use a right hand twist bit and could instead only use a left hand drillvery common in multi operation multi spindle screw machines where a 2nd op is handed off to the next spindle for a backside operation while the spindle are directionally synced. so the spindle is running ccw in relation to the tool
