This path has formed in my yard over the last 6 months. Undesirable individuals and packs are using it and leaving rubbish. They also make a lot of noise late at night. How do I stop this invasive behavior? Can't do a fence per HOA.

>>2946053I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say, but Anon is saying that you aren't "forced into a HOA" as in if you own your house, and your neighbours decide to set up an HOA, you are never forced to join it. If you buy a house that's part of a HOA, that's your own fucking fault.

Hello, I saw another watch thread here people were responding to so hopefully this question isn't too retarded. Pic related is my grandfather's old watch. It runs fine, but the second hand doesn't turn. I think it has to do with this copper wire you can see in the upper part of the mechanism. Anyone know what that's for/what it might be replacing? Potential fix? I know nothing about watch mechanics but I have a good amount of small general tools and my day job is electronics repair so I'm not bad with my hands.
>>2949916What does that mean, chiming watch movement? Sorry, I don't know anything about this stuff. Any guess on the purpose of the wire?
>>2949949It has a built in alarm that rings every hour etc, it's the circular ring around the outside. It's way more complicated and rarer than a normal movment.As for why it's like that idk, it seems more deliberate than just something broke and that was all they could do to fix it. That bridge seems to be for more than just holding that gear in place, maybe tying up those parts disables the alarm idk.
>>2949949>>2950122it kinda looks like someone wired the hammer that hits the chime to make it stop chiming
It looks very similar to the mechanism in this listing, I think op has a chronograph and they disabled the chrony function.https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/antique-quarter-repeating-chime-chronograph-pocke-1001-c-a584da29c8You can see in this video that the wired up wheel shifts to the seconds hand when he presses the chrono button.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbkEujMvyAIn either case, OP has a work of art and shouldn't be fucking around with it. Take it to a professional to have the wire job undone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqGsFLlQCdA
OP here, thanks for the replies. The chrono button doesn't appear to want to press down (obviously I'm not putting substantial force, I don't want to break something). I'm guessing it's stuck in the down position, potentially due to the wire. It does strike me as odd that if the wire is meant to silence the chime for whatever reason that it was also placed in a way that prevents the second hand from moving too. Wouldn't it make more sense to put a damper on the hammer that hits the chine itself? Professional service is out of my budget for now so I think I'll just leave it for a while until I can afford it.

>>2950254>just sit down and pee.There is a class of man in America who feel that sitting down to pee is an affront to their masculinity. I wish I was kidding.
>>2950309I stand up to pee because it is faster, happily acknowledge pee splashes out, and therefore clean my bathrooms regularly. Not a masculinity issue.
What made old DIY youtube so good?
My man /diy/ this shizzz... can I learn this?I have to build a mud furnace first, amirite?
>>2950272>I have to build a mud furnace first, amirite?No. You learn to work with clay. Then you bring your best pieces to a potter near by and get it fired in their kiln. This will cost you because no potter wants to put amateure stuff in with their own stuff - if you do pottery wrong it could explode during cooking, taking out the potter's stuff. Do this a few times until you know you enjoy pottery and it's worth getting your own kiln. Then you look on kijiji or CL or FB or whatever to see if there's one for sale.
What happened to Hilti, why aren't they as goated as they were 15 years ago?
>>2946604What’s an old Hilti for you? The TE75The 75 is definitely going to outlive your elbows, the new stuff is far lighter quieter and has less vibrations all probably costing a bit repairability and longlivity but its still good tools.

>>2946798>uhhhm actually it's a good thing that we don't repair things anymore you stupid chuddite
I tried out for an apprenticeship at hilti back in the long ago.After the three days or so, their boss told me that I'm over qualified for them and could do better.Which I then did.I also know a bunch of other people working for them. A high up marketing chick was with my brother for a couple of years.

So i ordered a silicone sex doll. Long story short, it was damaged during shipping. It was stored upside down, the neck bolt actually tore through cardboard box and for part of journey was being dragged across a dirty floor by neck bolt. Area was black when i got it and ive since cleaned it up. Due to the stress of transit, the silicone that surrounded the neck bolt was detached. Looking for recommendations for adhesive or glue that could bond silicone with what im guessing is plastic. Tried contacting manufacturer for assistance but havent heard anything and dont think they are going to be much help. Luckily all the damage is to the neck stump so its not visible normally. Only when head is off
After a drunk fuckfest on my rubber bitch her head popped offf when I was draggn her drippy ass to the bathtub. Put a pillow over the neck and fuck it
>>2949914did she came?
>>2949363Threaten a chargeback, give them a few days to respond. If no response, do a chargeback.
>>2949351
>>2949351SIL-poxy would probably work on your child doll, just be sure to clean the silicone with a safe solvent for proper adhesion.What, did you not think that we would notice how small it is?

>>2949503nylon webbing is soft, just make sure your machine can get through the canvas and the webbing together. As long as it's not super thick it should be fine. You are going to have to get the front of the bag separated so that you can sew the webbing onto it. So you are going to have to take it apart, add the webbing, then put it back together.

How easy is it to service one of these old all-metal mechanical sewing machines? I want a sturdy heavy duty machine to hem some jeans, and buying one of these used for ~$70 probably makes more sense than a new plasticky POS singer, right? But none of the places near me service them. Is it feasible to do it myself? I have tools to work on stuff like chain saws, and precision tools for soldering and electronics stuff.
>>2950204Easier than any modern machine, which are all largely made with potted motors and plastic cases which are permanently fused together specifically so that the customer has to go into a contemporary service center and get told "Nah, we don't do these ones any more. It's 5 years old! Sell it to us for a credit on buying a new machine from us, eh? :^)"Rant aside, the biggest problem with these fuckers is the built-in zigzag stitch cam. If it's JUST straight stitch and ZZ, it's only the one cam - Hopefully it's metal. A lot of these machines especially leading into the late 60s/early 70s will have nylon cams, which crack eventually (if it isn't cracked by the time you get it, it's probably been in storage for ~20 years and will crack the moment you start using it.)If you're looking at an online listing to go pick up, just ask them to take the top off and take a photo straight down and it'll be really obvious where any plastic parts are.The next thing to worry about, moreso in being careful with your own handling, is a little hook-shaped stick which connects to that 'zigzag width' gauge and the reverse stitch. I accidentally snapped two of them (both in old Necchis, which the machine in your pic is likely a Japanese copy of.)Other than that, they're piss easy. Take off the cover on the needle/take-up, the bobbin area, the top of the case, the hand wheel and there may be a little panel on the back. Get a good amount of mineral oil (baby oil and machine oil are similar weights) in there and gently turn by hand until it turns smoothly, then run the fucker at full force from the pedal for 30 seconds to clear any gunk out. Manually wipe up some of the excess oil, rub that all over the exterior body (best thing to clean Shellac is just oil. Avoid alcohol and true-soap, because Shellac is porous and it will dry up, go milky and crack eventually.) and it's good to go.Probs just want a little chode-handled flathead screwdriver.
I have a dumb idea for pneumatic puncher, that extends when I extend my arm, would this work or go through my arm?
>>2949974Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.If you use this to create an impact that's far larger than you could achieve with a punch, it's sending all that force back through your arm. Possibly braking bones or dislocating your elbow or shoulder depending on how you've attached it to yourself and the position of your arm when it fires off.
>>2950044This. A potential workaround is if the force is concentrated into an object with low mass like a bullet then it will have as much recoil as a handgun, but at that point you would be shooting/stabbing, not punching. If your heart is set on punching harder then make an armored gauntlet weighted with lead or something else heavy and train with it, or build some kind of fully robotic arm and strap it to your core with a harness to keep your own arm out of the equation entirely.

>>2950005Apparently it's some industrial safety shit where you put a lock on machinery while you're working on it so someone can't start it and potentially kill you.
>>2950005humiliation ritual
>>2950005loto means Lock Out Tag Out. That lock would be put on the main power supply of a machine while in the off position. A third party holds the key. This ensures someone doesn't power up and kill their co-worker. The cut lock would indicate OP wants to remove it at will. A secondary indication is that OP blows homeless men behind the dumpster while on break at his job.
