What the flying fuck is the point of this machine?Im No tradesman im a computer engineer but even i see how stupid this machine isLitterally makes no sense at all. A wheel loader or a dozer can do what this machine does but better
I HATE GRADERSFUCK GRADERS
>>2980737Got to run graders with scrapers, rough haul roads between your cut and fill will beat the shit out of your machines hitches and slow them down, graders used to smooth the haul road and wow you dont have to bounce the scaper like a monstertruck free style event
>>2980433https://youtu.be/MGQCJQPmKto?si=qMcdHu5XaFbtTCF3&t=205can you do this with a dozer?
>>2980433dirt roads...They are a thing outside the us.
>>2980433Heavy equipment operator here. Graders have their place but it's disappearing. GPS equipment machines have took a lot of their jobs but municipalities love them for maintaining shoulders because you can just drive it to a job instead of requiring a truck to get it there. Plus they can move snow pretty good so they're year round machines.

>>2980363That kind of solves the miniaturization issue but not the rest. Even with magic nuclear batteries I can't see a commercial version of the idea doing well so long as propellers are being used for lift without some giga autist giving us way quieter blades. Even that would leave the "why" question open since a set of wireless earbuds connected to your phone gets you all of the voice command stuff unobtrusively and your fancy selfie camera can just deploy when you need it (maybe at a voice command, even). Until AI or drones are more capable, those abilities seem better separated.
>>2980371I’m not sure what battery my DJI Neo is because it’s encased in plastic and has a proprietary 3 battery charger at one time thing But they look to be about 2S lipos and I’m getting pretty good flight times out of it Again you’re right a DJI Neo is a flying selfie camera that follows you there really is no reason to have it follow you around all day But since it has onboard gps and return to home on battery low signals You could theoretically have it go home to a dock and charge wirelessly roomba style through nagsafe style connection All the tech is there but again it’s basically just a flying phone Actually now that I think of it, if you just incorporate an AI search engine into the DJI fly app you don’t even need the Amazon Alexa (you have to connect the DJI Neo to your phone when flying line of sight, to fly fpv you just connect to a controller and headset the N3 or the goggles 3, those things are expensive though I bought the goggles 3 for $550 and the N3 were like $275 and regret both, if you want a DJI drone just fly from your phone or RC3)

I hope you guys plan to make your own fuel.
>>2979511I once brewed a BIAB batch only using a wood fire and it turned out great. didn't even do too much temp control, I just got some nice embers to brew the wort and brought it to a nice boil by just throwing more wood on it.
Got the co2 system set up which is a big relief. Had a fermenter do something funny, relative gravity is around 1, but maybe it took UV, oxidised a bit, was kept in the fermenter too long. Possibly unstable temperature. No signs of bacteria or secondary fermentation.Think it's what you'd call off flavors. Tastes a bit stale. Drinkable but not shelf quality. Also have a barrel of hard lemonade that had a very hard time at the start and a very slow fermentation. It's going better now but there was almost nothing for two days and again I'm worried about oxidisation.Very hard to troubleshoot when you're new because you don't know what's normal and I still don't have any proper institutions. Curse AI, and hipsters who publish coffee table books, read only by people who will never even attempt what they're reading.
>>2978300That's a lot of questions, and I'm not even sure what you're asking here.
>>2980818If you have an s-type airlock (picrelated) it's easy to see if your fermentation vessel has a leak. As long as there's something in it (fermenting or not), in practise it should never be level. Usually it's the airlock, scrape it with a knife to get rid of any ridges.
Are these a meme? Are they ok to live in? Are they meant to last?Thinking about buying some land and having one of these shipped to me. How fleeced do you get paying someone else to put it together?I worked for a guy who built these but I only lasted like 2 weeks on the job before getting hurt so I didn't get to see much of the process.
they are awesome for cold dry environments. any humidity or constant rain and they suck. that's pretty much it.
>>2979756Yeah when I first started working for that guy it was the first time I ever used a skill saw, much less the huge one to cut the logs, so all of my cuts were crooked and the logs didn't really fit together. The owner just went behind me filling up all the gaps with this glue stuff with a grim expression on his face.
>>2977953they are very good to live in but not done in a mcmansion style with american roofing standards. you will get leaks and the logs will rot. buildt it in one stretch with no angles or fancy design elements on the roof.
>>2980938what about this
Wonder how many that are built now are just normal stick frame buildings with log planes used as siding?
General tipsFreeze your superglue. It keeps it from drying out
>>2980483Superglue actually cures from moisture, so it’s weird to say “drying out” because it is very dry in the sealed tube.
>>2980483>It keeps it from drying outno it won't
>>2980483I just put it in the fridge, no need for freezing
>>2980483Store your paint cans upside down
>>2981025>Store your paint cans upside downDo you ever get any catastrophic leakage like from the cans getting warm and popping the lids off enough for them to seep badly all over your shelves? Makes sense that it would keep the solvents from evaporating out upwards.

I have a 1 year + 27 day old microwave and it's blowing a fuse when I try to use it. I'm not sure what's wrong with it and I'd like to save it from a landfill. It came with a 1 year warranty and warranty expired like 20 days before it broke and the company (Hamilton Beach) refused to service it.I rarely used it and I've used it maybe 20 times to warm up some food over the past year. After I used it last time, it died while cooking in mid-cycle. I could see a flash of light. When I opened it, I saw a blown fuse. It uses those small glass fuses and I had to order them from Amazon.I was hoping it would be as simple as replacing a fuse but obviously that's not the case. Clock and electronics works fine but it immediately blows a fuse when I try to actually cook with it.What's wrong? What can I check? I have a DMM.
>>29794081, 2, and 5 are incorrect. Read more textbooks, faggot. lmao

Thinking about building a small cnc mill for small steel and aluminum parts. I’d like to make the thing mainly out of aluminum extrusions. I was thinking that a fixed gantry design like picrel would be the most rigid, except I’d like to mirror it so there are diagonal braces on both sides and to increase the depth of my work area.Is this the most rigidity possible given the size and format constraints?
>>2977919>Base-Machine starts at CHF 6000>price lists and technical documentation available upon requestthey look good but you KNOW it's gonna be double that out the door

carvera airyou don't need more
>>2980912yes I do, I need a mill, not an engraver.
>>2950082retarded flimsy design. if you want a small desktop-sized mill it still needs to be a typical VMC design with a tower and to make up for the lack of weight you tension it with steel cables running from the top of the tower to a solid anchor point in concrete floor

>>2980407>>2980385Yah you can use https, their cert expired a year ago, which is not uncommon.Just run old windows in a smol VM. That way you are protected (and it's more likely to reliably work)I have an engineering program I use from the XP days that I run that way, setup was pretty easy. Both qemu and virtualbox will let you use the USB.
>>2980381Futura Anon, what is the cheapest / smallest machine that will reliably embroider patches? I assume you do one color at a time?These would be one-offs, I'm not trying to run a business or anything. I should probably just screen-print or stencil the patches but I embroidered patches are so pretty. I know I'll spend some money on something, make three or four patches, then put it up and never use it again, lulz.
I have come to check up on my homies. how's it goin with your work?
>>2980487Small embroidery machines can be used for regular sewing too. The cheapest option is Brother, used Singers are around the same price. I’ve only ever used Singers and I’m using my Futura for general purposes since my first machine is technically borrowed.>>2980486My machine uses a freaking ethernet cable so a W7 VM would probably work best since that’s compatible.
>>2978299Get an external thread stand, I never use the spool pins on my machine itself. Big cones are also far more economical >>2977714Bigger needle my machine shits the bed with topstitch thread unless I'm using at least a 110/18, preferably also a topstitch type >>2977481Bonded nylon #69 (nice). Also look specifically for a set of "diamond stitching punches" which should look kind of like forks. Those are better than using an awl because you can punch entire lines of perfectly spaced small holes.>>2977414I like John james and clover. I find betweens (basically a shorter version of standard sharps) easiest for most hand sewing. I also recommend using silk thread because it's strong and quite pleasant to sew with. Tire silk (also sold rebranded as clover) is my go-to brand, I find that guttermann silk is a bit "hairy" and not as strongYou'll want to wax most if not all threads you work with, just use a pure block of beeswax and pull the length of thread across the surface while holding it down with your finger.

How do I get the fart smell out of my couch? My mom had a friend over and she had to go to the store quickly. Was hoping I could hook up with this gilf and put some moves on her especially since I had just showered. But then she sat next to me on the couch was was like "this couch smells kind of musty". I played it cool and said "yeah I've been drilling farts into this bad boy all day". She looked grossed out and just stood up and went into the kitchen. She'll probably be back at some point and I want another shot how do I get my couch smelling good I sprayed it with some axe body spray but now my mom's pissed and says it smells bad. How do I get it really fresh?
>>2979562Ozone machine
>>2979977All the other advice here is bullshit. Ozone machine. Seal up the room, throw all the pets out of it, fire up the ozone machine and let it run for an hour or two. Then hold your breath, run in the room and open all the windows and then run out again and shut the door behind you. Leave it to air out for an hour. Nothing in that entire room will smell like anything at all after that.Even better if you can shove the couch in a walk in closet or van before gassing it to increase the penetration. $50 on Amazon
>>2979562>Couch smells like fartsit's not farts. couches do not retain fart smells.
>>2979567Nah bro I do it all the time

Why are these things so ungodly expensive? Are they at least worth it quality and ergonomics wise?
>>2979479Not an argument.
>>2979355Mines fucking destroyed. Found a Milwaukee electricians belt with all the pouches and everything at goodwill for $19 when it's normally $100. That thing has been holding up stupidly well for all my tools
20 years ago I had a local canvas shop make me a tool bag to my needs, cost me $90. Spent another $60 in the past 20 years having them do a couple fixes and a minor change while they were at it. Probably would cost $150 in today money.
>>2975562A good tool bag needs to tough as hell because loose tools will damage weaker materials.A good tool bag needs to be designed with logical layouts, pockets, and spaces that allows for organization.A good tool bag needs to be large enough to hold your gear but not so large it's a cumbersome bitch that gets in the way.All of that taken into account you need something made with tough material (special tools and more expensive material), well designed (planning, multi-step prep, etc), and researched. All that leads to something that will be expensive. That said, MOST people don't need a GOOD tool bag, just a canvas tote with common shit in it. Good tool bags are for people who make a living doing work with tools instead of small repairs and basic handyman stuff.
>>2979355I had one once, almost completely forgotten about it.. Lasted less than a year. It got a hole in one of the inner pockets and a tool or two disappeared in between the layers of the bottom. Found out after completely clearing it out one day and tossed it. Also black bags suck since it tends to hide dark/black items especially in low lighting situations.
Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.
>>2979810Neither — I'm writing my own minimal browser implementation from scratch.
>>2979165What did I (>>2979299) tell you?In this one (>>2979780) we sees he's been working on some other dumb side project, but probably no one cared because AI is oversaturated with hype men and retards and a custom browser is pie in the sky too but not as flashy as a robot, so now he's back here to get more attention, despite not having done anything. He's so predictable it's insane.
I got together my temperature sensor and my hot plate and my glass container and some water and figured out where on the hotplate temp dial I need to be to get the desired water temperature. I then used label paper sticker and marked it off and wrote 118f on it which is the average temperature of that spot on the dial. It has about 15 degrees variance I think up or down. Good enough.Next, I mixed up a batch of water and PCB etchant (Ammonium Persulfate crystals and water mixture) using a postal scale to get the ratios right. I mixed it into the bottom third of a wet ones baby wipes container. It was 0.8oz total. Then I submerged the etchant mix into the warm glass basin of heated water to bring it up to temp. I noticed the etchant wet ones container wanted to tip over so I used scotch tape to tape it off in all 4 directions to the glass container and pull it under water a bit too in order to maximize temperature transfer from the hotter outside water into the etchant container contents to warm it efficiently. I skipped the automated agitator entirely opting to just stir the mix with a hot glue stick manually.All in all, it did etch within the 5 to 8 minutes range and I think etched even faster when the temperature was closer to 130f - closer to 5 minutes then maybe even 4 minutes I didn't time it. It was lightning fast compared to room temperature etchant which took 2-3 hours to etch a single board. So indeed, the instructions that said room temperature is fine were wrong. All that leads to is undercutting.
Anyways, with the stirring and the warm temps my results were significantly improved and almost every board was usable. I produced 8 or 9 in total. Enough to do at least 2 motors and part of a 3rd at least. So plenty for now. I had still a tiny bit of undercutting on the fine traces, but rarely enough to break their continuity. I will make the traces slightly wider in Photoshop for future prints with the expectation that around 15% of the outer edges will be removed so we print wider to compensate and then the result will be the width we wanted in the first place after the undercutting has done its thing. This way the undercutting is worked with and non-detrimental. That's my planned workaround for it.In the rare instance of pinholes randomly in the center of pads or traces or a tiny open circuit on a thin trace, I am confident that a coating of solder over all of those areas will correct that. These little holes and whatnot are microscopically small so very easy to solder bridge as needed. I think for the most part my boards are almost all fully usable as is. I'm sure my methods will improve as I continue to tweak and iterate techniques over time - but the fact that we can already produce working circuits at this extremely fine detail and miniaturization level is already very encouraging. Any improvements from here is just icing on the cake IMO.My next step will be to solder on the half bridge IC chips using the method shown in this video - a method I think looks very impressive and sound and hopefully not too hard to replicate on my end: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r-HaRjBvWgU
>>2980782I would be careful dumping lots of solder onto the copper, you dont have a soldermask.Solder might very easily move from pads down your traces, or bridge between pads/traces and cause shorts.
