Black mold is a terrible thing, need techs with space suits to come in and clean it up if it's a bad infestation. You will slowly lose IQ points the more you are exposed to it, on the bright side they come back when not exposed - chronic exposure is dangerous.

I'm 30. I have a degree in software development but ended up in higher tier support and later a cloudops role. Many teams including mine were made redundant and now I can't find an IT job. 7 years total experience in IT with 1 of those being as head of IT for a small college so like sysadmin. I'm in Ireland.

I was considering doing an automation and robotics course to get into scada so maybe I could branch out into fixing automation lines. I don't know if the jobs are there really but fuck it.

Learning a language is not difficult.
It just takes a long time.
A very long time.
Years of study for hours a day just to misunderstand anime half the time.
>>3012650
Duolingo is good for the fundamentals and lessons.
You will need external study for the bulk of the learning.
I learned french mostly with it within a few months. Korean in Korea without it. And now have been putting off learning Spanish for my wife's family where I haven't actually sat down to learn.

>>3012839
I'm european and we learn two foreign languages in school, plus optionally a third.
If a bunch of demotivated schoolkids who never learn vocabulary at home can learn enough for it to stick somewhat, then an adult who actually puts in effort can do it too.
Personally the goal is mostly to just get good enough to where I can consume media in that language and from there I passively learn through immersion usually.

I tried a more structured diy approach a long time ago but gave up out of boredom and a lack of application, since I wasn't really reading anything new or entertaining.
Started again a year or so ago and built on that base by going through genki+quartet and taking notes. Learned a good bit of kanji with kanjidamage and i'm working through an anki vocab deck now. I'm sure there's better methods preferred by /djt/ now but getting into that rabbit hole seems tiring. That said, I think joining others or at least lurking might help you.
My motivation is to read manga that got dropped and we have enough tech that it's not terribly difficult but you have to limit your use of it to ensure you learn. I type out the whole chapter in nip for reading/kanji recognition practice and basic comprehension (using OCR as needed; I found there's a lot of phrases and idioms I'd miss otherwise), then translate it with dictionary or grammar guide help, and finally check it with deepl, google, and ichi.moe.
Actually reading new stuff vs just studying is a big reason for me to keep going.

>>3012842
Children are far more adept at learning a language than adults are.

>>3013186
I think the whole neuroplasticity argument is super overstated.
The reason children learn languages fast is usually because they spend a lot of time doing so.
In school, you're looking at ~5 lessons/week, which over a year is like 150-200h. Repeat for 4 years and you're approaching 600h. Outside of school kids will mostly learn languages through immersion (relatives who speak it or something) which also quickly adds up in raw time.
In terms of guidance that should land you around B2 level.
Frankly the advantage in neuroplasticity of kids is easily overcome by having the discipline and more structured approach to learning of an adult. There's some argument that learning proper native pronunciation gets harder as an adult, but "good enough" is easily doable.

The whole "kids learn languages faster" thing is an excuse by lazy adults who want to justify why it's impossible for them to do so, so they don't have to try.

Got a pipethreader off Amazon for $50, whole range of dies up to 1 inch. The company's got one that I borrow but I was on vacation and didn't feel like running up there to grab it. It kind of sucks. It works, chip ejection is abysmal for some reason. It cuts pretty good when it's new but we'll see after a few jobs. Long slivers, they get caught easily and I have to back it off 2 or 3 threads to clear it. Afraid I'm going rearrange my face when the 2 piece handle with internal threads comes apart. Ran some new gas lines at my aunts house to replace some shitty refrigeration tubing someone rigged together years ago. Really I think it's a piece of shit but it works and the case is very small, my drill box is bigger. I made enough money with it already to cover the cost so whatever.

i needed one a few yrs ago and didnt want a garbage freight turd set so looked on epay for a few days until a 00 set to 3/4 came up for reasonable money. the one i got had a metal carry box that was utterly beat to shit but it musta lived under the seat of a work van because the dies were essentially brand new. think i paid just under $50 delivered for it which wasnt much more than hf wanted at the time
i see buckets full of pipe dies at auctions all the time and they often go for peanuts but i dont thread much pipe so ive held back shithoarding them and i just thread 1 offs on the lathe if i need
so i guess the point of my blogpoast is now that youre not in a pinch you can watch and buy a ridgid set used for a deal if you see it

>>3013264
I've used the harbor freight one before and it's garbage, we have ridgid at work. I needed it the next day and that was my problem. Didn't have time to run around. I see ridgid sets on Craigslist still for around a $100 with just 1/2 3/4 1 but they're all out in the boonies. I never have side jobs like this just pop up but she called and said she had been smelling gas every so often and wanted me to check. Flared fitting failed, instead of just chopping and flaring a new end or putting a swagelok on I told her I'd do it for $80 and the cost of materials, ended up being like $60 in pipe and fittings including one of those yellow hook up hoses for the drier.

I almost pulled the trigger on a $200 used set a couple years ago, 3 handles all the way up to 2 inch but I never see myself threading anything above 1 inch. Never seen it in residential and every 2 inch at work is socket welding flange or off the shelf nipples.

How much of a pain in the ass is threading pipe on a lathe?

>>3013152
I splurged on a fein once and man its so good. I now have that one to the workshop and now I have a crappy ridgid one for the garage and it's a real downgrade. It doesnt have a bag, and all the accessories are bottom-dollar plastic trash that don't even work well. The more powerful motor is just for the consooomers who just buy the thing with the highest hp they can find, doesn't actually help at all.

>>3013268
i get the trouble justifying a hundred lb box of shit that never gets used. of course i have poor self restraint for tools though
>How much of a pain in the ass is threading pipe on a lathe?
its a bit of assache if i use the taper attachment to thread on the angle. and it comes out goofy looking like the picel because a die cut thread stops abruptly at full vee depth whereas the lathe is harder to stop on a dime so the thread ends up longer but it fits the same
usually i just slam a couple rough passes without taper then use the die to finish it to size as its much easier on everything involved

it depends on the sink and the paint and the prep work, if all those are done right then it works. If you do any of those wrong then it comes off with normal use.

There's a specil coating you get... In Europe a lot of bathroom stuff is still cast iron, it's coveted in some kind of enamil... They have restoration kits or something...

>>3012924
As someone who has lived in a lot of rentals I can tell you that those things do not work. They go on thin. If you are just trying to brighten up enamel that is dull and has minor scratches that are okay. They don't wear nearly as well and come off eventually. If you are trying to fix a chip, crack, or anything like that they suck. They are barely thicker than paint and you can see the damage under it. The instructions say to build it up in layers to fix chips but I have literally never seen that work. Every layer you add shortens the lifespan of this shit.

>>3012637
Paint adheres in 2 ways, mechanical and chemical. Mechanical means it's gripping to something, chemical means it's basically dissolving the surface and binds with it. Unless you have some kind of plastic sink you won't get chemical attachment, even if you did and I'd be concerned with weakening the sink. Mechanical would depend entirely on surface prep you'd want to scuff the surface up so it feels slightly rough, this gives the paint something to grab on to. One benefit to your idea is that some sink materials are porous so your paint may be able to permeate them well enough to hold once you remove whatever glaze or coating they have on them. This is something I've never seen done but it may be possible. Don't look at paint necessarily, look at coatings. I've seen tons of industrial coatings for various materials that are extremely chemical and temperature resistant. They're expensive and come in ugly colors. Depends on your sink. If it's cast iron their may be some enamel pain that will work well with proper surface prep, of itxs ceramic you may be able to re glaze it with a tinted glaze. Just simply painting it will probably give shitty results.

Yeah I make them for friends, sometimes a few bucks.
It's pretty easy, as long as you have a machine that can eat through faux fur you're good to go. 110/18 needles. Just make sure that you push all the fur inside when flipped inside out. Pin it as much as you want, leave a spot to open the back and then hand stitch closed. But MAKE SURE to set your belt tabs close to the middle as centered at possible because if you try to make it at the end, the tail will slosh around like luggage in a car that's constantly going left to right.

Ive made 2 pulg tails so far, but both were made to be work with a plug and as a belt tail. I had to find a way to hook it. Rather interesting to be honest. I made it were the end of a plug was like a flat or spongy feel where it would slide in but not fall out. I made the way to hold it as a bow (think breast cancer bow) and it worked.

Tails aren't hard, just time consuming, i need to work on paws at some point.

Was this written by some low end Chinese AI? Jesus fuck, the formatting. The missing punctuation. Oh, and then the fucking dumbass question itself.

>Please provide a detailed understanding and time line etc
Sure. Seeing as you provided zero variables, the answer is anywhere from 'it could fail the next time you apply the brakes' to 'it could be just fine for the next 42 years', with a bit of 'it could go at any time' in between. The brake pads are a variable. The vehicle is a variable. The road conditions are a variable. The speeds you are traveling are a variable. The type of breaking you are doing is a variable. The road conditions are a variable. Whether you are breaking on a downhill versus an uphill versus level ground is a variable. Whether your locality uses salt or sand to clear ice from the roads is a variable. It all fucking matters, dumbass.

Metal-on-metal braking is going to have significantly worse stopping power than pad-on-metal. Additionally, the surface of the rotor is going to get fucked up by metal pad, it is going to dig divots into the surface and introduce high and low spots which will further degrade braking performance as you're reducing contact area between the pad and the rotor. There's a reason brake pads aren't just big metal blocks that last forever, and that reason isn't just to introduce another wear item on the vehicle to nickel and dime you.

I once installed a brake pad backwards because I'm a retard and I noticed immediately because the car didn't stop at all. I don't think your brakes will work once you're out of pad material.

Another pic just for clarity. Couple pieces of angle on a suitable sized pipe. Space them to work with the thickest handled wrench you might want to use it with and it should be golden.

>>3009011
No need, the first picture was very self-explanatory.
Usually I don't go hunting giant pipe though, I use a second wrench and put the box end into the open end of the wrench i'm using, just sometimes the angle isn't ideal and I don't like putting all that force on one half of the open end.

That was an "in progress" pic of this socket organizer for my tool cart. Been in use for a while now and its been good. I also built some socket organizers for a couple of drawers in my service truck and some that fit in an ammo can for a portable socket set in one of my pickups. Need to do some more for other things, but these things do take some time to lay-out and get right and I don't have that kind of time to dedicate to them as of right now.

I guess I like boxes for alike tools/kits and carts for bigger stuff or things I have too much of. Recently bought this little rolling toolbox at auction for 22 bucks if I remember right. Right full of tools and other crap, which I didn't even know about as they didn't have any pictures of the inside of the drawers. So got some decent tools/hardware there. Had to fix up the drawers and the flip/slide bottom compartment door. Had a 3/8" plate crappily spotted on top that overhung the top and sides by 6-8 inches on every side, so scored a nice piece of steel too. Got the casters rolling nicely and added a handle to the one end.

Anyways, I was tired of my porta power stuff being in two extremely heavy boxes and a pain in the ass to drag out when I needed it. So I re-purposed this cart to be my mobile porta power station. Built a divider for the top drawer to keep the extensions and feet somewhat organized. Next drawer down is some extra porta power fittings and hoses. 3rd drawer down is the hydraulic attachments and the bottom flip/slide compartment is my hand pumps, air over hydro pump, and a couple big hollow rams that wouldn't fit in a drawer. Now I can roll this cart up to what I'm working on and have everything I need right there. Also changed out all my quick connect fittings for some nice ones from Summit Hydraulics. Hopefully that cuts down on the amount of fluid leakage.

A year or two ago I made this tire tool cart for most of my tire tools. It has places for my slide hammer bead breakers, duckbill hammers, a tire spreader mounted on a swingaway arm, and all my tire spoons on the other end. Have air over hydro jacks on the bottom shelf as well as a bucket of tire lube and a bucket of tire slime. Honestly just having a place for all this stuff is a lifesaver. And the best part is I can stick it in the corner by the tire machine, and if it's in the way I can just roll it somewhere else and it makes it super easy to clean in that corner too. Roll it the hell out of the way and sweep.

I already have a 23oz, 19oz and 14oz CF pattern hammer. Why should I want a 21oz version? (I don't.)

I've been using the 14oz as I like that it's lighter in my tool belt. What I don't like about it:
>Made with outsourcing.
>I was pronouncing the name similar to deluge however the packaging specifies that it's pronounced similar to duh-phlegmgob.*
>I often pull a nail by wedging it into the hammer claw and levering sideways. Works well most of the time even on finish nails or nails with the heads broken off. However the titanium head is soft enough that it damages the claw to do this.

Why the adjustable wrench?
Why do you like that type of pencil? I like a 'number 2 lead holder' even though it holds graphite.
