Does anyone know how to get rid of those nasty fuckers?
>>2956673Tonsillectomy. They used to be much more routine and there was no problem. No reason exists to want tonsils or adenoids. I'm delighted mine were removed in childhood.Remember to read the medical preconditions for tonsil removal so your insurance co can fund it. Gargle STRONG salt water solution while healing. That can also mitigate stones but just get rid of the tonsils and be done with it.
>>2961019I scrolled all the way down to finally see this. Get those fuckers out. I had those disgusting things from about 12 years old until I convinced a doctor to take them out at 21 years old. Best decision ever.
tonsil stones are the result of food particles entering the tonsil crypts. i daily rinse out my tonsil crypts. part of my oral hygiene regimen of brushing, flossing the teeth, scraping the tongue. all about getting the food particles out so you don't feed the oral bacteria that create their by-products biofilm and tonsil stones. if you remove stones you are already too late, you've allowed the bacteria to feast on food particles that got into the crypts. if you flush, you are not flushing stones, but the food particles that lead to the stones. when i do my daily flush of tonsil crypts nothing comes out but food particles and liquids from chewing. i haven't had stones in decades since having this insight and implementing this. over the years my methods have changed but the idea was always to daily flush out the crypts. it's nothing special to me, similar to rinsing my mouth with water after a meal, except i'm rinsing the tonsils out too. my latest method is to use an oral irrigator in one hand and a stainless steel chopstick in the other for prodding the tonsil crypt open to the water jet from the irrigator. of course i do it at a mirror with a small led spot light clamped beside it. you have to find a way to control the flow of the oral irrigator and my method is simply to kink/fold the hose in my grip to stop it and slightly loosen my grip to increase flow. good luck.
I had one two times in the same spot, used the blunt side of a long skewer toothpick to poke them out and never had them again
>>2956694>its overNah, I've had these regularly at one point now they've been gone for years. probably diet, chewing technique, staying hydrated matterYou can use waterpik spray to get them out bit more comfy than poking directlyConsider ur diet, stay hydrated sip water during meals and do proper dental hygeine w/ tongue scraper and floss. Maybe Xylitol gumChlorhexidine or alcohol mouthwash very infrequently as an oral biome nuke. Regular gargle/mouthwash should only be salt water>>2960571These little fuckers smell so bad it's a testament to the human olfactory system. maybe we're especially sensitive to basically rotting food. You could troll your pets with one
how do i get catfaggot smell out of my machine at work
>>2962895you all smell the same
>>2962658Is it a Cat loader?
Also are you sharing this loader with aforementioned catfaggot, or is he a previous occupant of the loader and you want to erase all history of him ever being there? If he is no longer going to be in the cab a good deep cleaning may be in order to remove all traces.
>>2962615>catfaggotis that someone who owns felines or someone who is a brand loyalist to Cat?
>>2963009>someone who is a brand loyalist to Cat?I wouldn't call myself a brand loyalist, but Cat makes some good shit. Their old stuff at least. I love this damn 920 like you wouldn't believe. Have a 613B scraper I need to get up and running again to do some dirt work projects, building levees and roads, and to help leveling off some fields. Recently picked up a 955L track loader that needs work for cheap. Parts may not be cheap, but they're always available.
Do you even really NEED a storm door? Isn't a regular door good enough?

Hey, it's the Half-way Dave!Hi Dave, how's your divorce going?
Merry Christmas anons
>>2961146It's a good job.
I have no fence on the yard border with my neighbour. It's 25m long, flat soil line where I would put a 1.8-2m tall fence. I want full privacy protection for a budget price (I don't live there). I would also like something I can diy as a non-diy guy (I work with electronics but no building experience). The cheapest option here is Europe is the thick wire panel fence, but I havent seen a way yet to make those completely private. I would dig holes and pour concrete into them to stabilize posts, as building a wall base is more expensive than the fence. What do? How difficult is pic related and what post distance for a windy area?
>>2963434here in burgerland its typical to use 4x4 wood posts on 8ft centers so 2m is probably fine
>>2963311You can buy prefabricated fence - segments come in 2.5m lenght. The posts need to be anchored into concrete and i'm guessing you don't want to spend money or time pouring a footing , so you would need to either pour small concrete blocks yourself, or buy bricks,fillem up with cement and burry them.
>>2963311Just get that thick, textured, coloured plastic slat fence stuff that slides into slotted concrete uprights. Doesn't cost that much and lasts for decades. Withstands wind. Worked for us, although we paid someone else to do it because that'd take me too long and its really a two man job.
>>2963311Why do you think that's the cheapest option? Like another Anon said, plant a bunch of tall bush treesOr build a fence out of limbs from a nearby forest (hopefully with permission)
>>2963434Maximum post spacing for something like that at that height is 8ft (2.4m)OC for that kind of fenceNote that you need to account for equal spacing so you don't have an awkward ass short panel at the end. If you have a 25m run, you need (11) line posts spaced at 7.5ft (2.28m) OC PLUS (2) end posts
Chainsaw thread. What chainsaws are you guys using and what things you like or dislike about them? Would you pick a different saw if you would be buying one today? Also do you fix and maintain them yourself or use shop?

>>2962401how about i buy my cock 30 minutes with your bussy for 5 bucks?
>>2961182You can get a plastic handle fiskars for like $150 now, and if you're carrying it around, that's a lot of value.I've never purchased a wooden axe, I just buy an old axe bit and handle it myself. There are a thousand good axe heads just sitting around because the handle broke.
For storm cleanup and general disaster preparedness in the northeast US with a budget of under $500 or so, what's the best saw to get?Looking at used Echo and new Holzfforma, it looks like I could get a 70-something cc Holzfforma but only a 50-something CC Echo. It also looks like there's more Stihl dealers near me than Husqvarna and Echo, would they even work on a clone though?Or should I look at something else entirely? I just have an old random corded Craftsman right now, which obviously has a lot of limitations.
>>2963644Stihl dealers will not work on a clone. Lots won't even sell you parts for them.It's worth it to take your time and watch for a good deal. Unless you are dealing with a lot of very large trees the 50-60cc saws are good. Sharp chain and good technique are better than raw horsepower any day.
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.
>>2961051>Just dealt with an almost identical microwave and one of the door interlock microswitches was sticking closed and this was blowing that same fuse.Hi, thanks for the info. The problem with that theory is that I know exactly how the MW died... it died during the defrosting in mid-cycle. It didn't die when I was opening or closing the door or when I was just starting it. It died during the operation. I seriously doubt that the switch would fail like that in mid-cycle.

>>2963491Totally.Radio is the bee's knees.
>>2961513You know I asked this to various people, why can't I build a dipole for this horizontally and suspend it in the air between two mountain tops with cable. No one can say if it will work
>>2962664>follow tutorial to build a 2m/70cm dipole>says to cut the aluminium tubes so they’re 936mm tip-to-tip, with a 10mm gap in the middle>seems about right>leave a few mm in the ends so I can file them down if needed>lay it out on the carpet and measure impedance and SWR with the VNA>narrow SWR dip to 1.3 and impedance of 56Ω>at 177MHz>slightly worse SWR dip at 456MHzI feel like a retard, what did I do wrong? Will propping it up in the air change the antenna characteristics?>>2963517Hmm, the noise is present even when powering from a battery. I’m seeing three types of signals on the SDR readout. Those that move left when I drag the frequency bar left (i.e. real signals at that frequency), those that move the right when I drag the bar left (aliased strong signals, FM radio stations when listening to 10m), and those that remain in the same area regardless of how I tune the local oscillator. These ones are what only appear when the antenna has power, while the aliased FM signals and real signals seem to be visible regardless. Having a cheap shitty SDR really does make you second guess yourself a lot. I need to figure out a way of troubleshooting the antenna properly, so I guess that means making a local signal I’m capable of receiving on the antenna, and ideally viewing on my scope too. My function generator goes up to 13.5MHz, but the SDR doesn’t measure below 25MHz.
>>2963663It will work but the problem with resonant antennas at those frequencies is that the bandwidth would be very small. The best way would be to use a catenary and then suspend the dipole below that, a bit like the overhead power line for electric trains. And I guess you will find enough crazy people at Berkeley to either suspend one from the Golden Gate Bridge (a rather good match), or use the bridge as a reflector to a dipole adjacent to the bridge. You could of course got for a foled dipole for a greater bandwidth for so much added complexities that not even Berkely students would touch this construction.

Freshly harvested zucchinis, tomatoes should be ready soonWho else here /home garden/?
>>2963220No poison, just seasol, blood and bone and natural fertiliser >>2963238Damn! Sounds like a big setup! I wish we had more room. We currently have a pomegranate, orange, lemon, mandarin, apricot, nectarine l, nz grapefruit and loquat trees, and in the veggie patch we've got tonnes of tomatoes, zucchini, egg plant, chilli, capsicum, spinach, spring onions, basil, sage, basil mint, lemon grass and strawberries >>2963245>southie?Deep south, as in Australia
>>2963346That's a lot of fruit trees! If there's one thing I wish I could have it's more fruit trees but alas no space. Instead I got a so called "fruit salad tree" That's multi-grafted. Was 4 in 1 but 1 died so now it's just peach, nectarine and plum on 1 tree. Bloody expensive tree it was too.
>>2963451Its never enough though! Shit we might have to look at getting somwthing like that, would be nice to get a bunch of different fruits off the same tree
>>2963219What's a safe recipe of dishsoap solution to use to kill whiteflies? (Orange tree)I have been using 2 tablespoons of concentrated dishsoap per gallon and it seems its OK, so far no appreciable damage on the leaf, I'm not rinsing either, maybe I'll get fucked in 2 weeks.Should I rinse that shit afterwards or not?And is it true that these are immune to permethrin now?
>>2963649Never had white flies so couldn't help. Slightly tangentially though, Once I started greasing the trunks of my citrus trees the aphid infestations slowed/stopped. If you can stop the ants climbing up, they can't put the aphids there to begin with. I wrap a 2" wide band of masking tape on the trunk, slather with vaseline, replace it every so often in the heavy seasons. Eventually my ants figure a path over the vaseline so I soak it with insect spray, they die on contact with the vaseline.
A place for anything to do with Welding.Post your MIG/TIG/Stick/Fluxed Cored Arc welds, ask questions and discuss sticking metals together.Previous: >>2894379
>>2963561most posters here don't actually weld and have never used a welding robot
>>2963561>>2963570>welding robotsI didn't know /r9k/ has a significant number of welders.
>>2963561Also a ton of one-off or small batch custom fab jobs where it'd take more time and money to program a robot then to just have a welder do it.
>>2963570exactly and they are the ones saying welding will be done by robots because they got no clue what welding is.its kinda pathetic, you can hand them a broken steel shaft and a stick bzzz box and they wont know what to make out of it, but they expect ai and robots to fix it in the future.i know that automated welding is a thing and most mass produced consumer products thats been welded at has never seen a human hand.
The most verstatile and quick-to-program welding robots I've personally seen were so called "co-bots" you could teach by physically grabbing the robot arm and positioning it at the start and finish points, angles, etc. Fine tuning and adjustments were possible in the software/pendant/ipad/whatever. Even those systems are designed for batch runs/more than 1 of the same job. Welding robots are not the be all and end all of the future.
they say a Cat Stove burns clean and shouldn't the exhaust be super hot? But they say CS exhaust can be cooler than normal. Is that because a CS runs "slower"?Regardless, how about a Stack Unit inside the house between stove and ceiling with a bunch of steel bars running through it and becoming outside fins to suck more heat. Make it removable so you can take it outside, dose with gasoline, and burn off any Creo build up every few months.Maybe even a small fan inside the SU, up at top where exhaust will be cool, in case its needed to such the cooled exhaust out reliably. I'm thinking a small electric fan in SU, along with external household potable fan blowing on the SU, would use much less energy (money) than the value of the extra heat (Vs electric heating bill).I'm seeing lots of ads for Wood Burning Stoves, but not much about making the air (exhaust) tight connections at the stacks. Is there a bunch of laws or just Codes about that to prevent idiots like me from killing a house full of guests? I'd have a couple-few CO detectors.Maybe something like this, and the stove itself would be on four extra steel plates which would be slid out to allow it to lower, for a bit of room to slide out the SU.Why can't or don't they make stacks so the dreaded Creo-build up fire just burns out the top, and doesn't set the house on fire? Just make the inner stack out of thick enough hi-temp steel, and make the outer layer spaced enough, or even double layer.Seems like any Creo-fire would be somewhat O2 starved.

Can I use black pipe sections screwed together to make a captain's for a home gym to build abs and do bar dips? It seems like they come in the right lenghts and angles with t-sections and such, and faily inexpensive. I was thinking maybe PVC but is may not be sterdy enough.
>>2962467Use aluminium extrusion or weld something up if you're not a bitch. PVC pipes are pipes not beams, they're made to transport liquids not support any sort of lateral load.
>>2962974>if you're not a bitch...weld'n is out of muh league sir, no space nor welders. Maybe in the future.
Can I get abs like this using a captain's chair made out of black pipe, or is schedule 40 PVC strong enough?
>>2962957https://www.alvinindustrial.com/info/info_02.htmbuy some cheap pipe wrenches and use a little pipe dope to prevent threads from galling as you spin it together. I wouldnt use anything under 1 1/4" for the structure and you can get reducing fittings to make handles. and make sure you cover up threads and inspect for burs on the pipe anywhere you make contact, they hurt.gl gymbro, spinnin pipe is really fun
>>2962467Black pipe is probably strong enough, definitely if you engineer it a little. You're going to be u clamping anyway so just reinforce if you're fat enough it's needed.
>>2960752My dad andalotof people in the country I was bornbuilt houses all the time My dad built a lot of his brother's house who was working abroad,And my dad was a high school biology teacher Not really a big deal
>>2963053>Not really a big dealIn our parent's generation homebuilding was a lot simpler than it is now. Less inspections, simpler engineering requirements, simpler materials... not saying it's impossible now but the houses we build now are a lot different to those of 50 years ago
>>2963082Whats different other than cheaper shittier materials.Old houses are not cheap. Its all built for artifical scarcity of investor class.You can live 100 year old house but you cant build the same thing today because of "safety". Its a laughable concept.
>>2963006nice. 2017/18 i stumbled into a building that was set to be demolished so the foundation could be re-used. it was a 3 story stick frame unfinished barn/garage attached to a small house. Permission was granted basically immediately when I asked to take it apart and some pretty deep soul searching followed. I got about 2 stories, the roof, and a lot of interior before the excavators came.My ex sued me in 2021 for my house i bought with her, I built my current house during covid while i defended myself till they settled and paid me, finished the septic this year. every time i post about it people give me shit for "taking so long"worthless fuckin place, largelybut occasionally theres like an ok thread or two. mostly come here just to be mean so i can be nice to people irl.
>>2960752fortunately not, its a bitch ass job.but i have done every part of it. me and my family doubled the size of our cabin, i tore down and rebuildt my apartment, i have worked in construction, i have done it all. building a house is kind of a common skill for norwegian rurals, its straight out expected of you to know it. you might not be the best at anything, you might be a framer kind of guy, but your friends might be roofer or plumber and together you finish a house in a week.house i currently live in was self-buildt in the late 50s and im gonna rebuild it all with time.

>>2963577RWT, please don't take this the wrong way, but you need to proofread your posts. I had to reread it to understand what you were saying.From what I can tell, you want others to do the NVIDIA Issac work?
>>2963592Well yes. Theres no point in talking about making a robot walk without the sim. Theres also that whole alogs.space board. They too are unwilling to do it.
My house has a 125 amp service and we recently got heat in the main room dining area on a heat pump instead of baseboards. Their load calculations said that we had 93 amps out of 125 accounted for so the current setup is fine.I thought we had lots of room on there as there was 8 service spots for new breakers but it turns out they cheaped out on the panel underneath and there aren't any so they had to disconnect the baseboards in the living room dining area to wire this.Trouble is I want to put in a woodworking shop in my garage and I need at least two 220 volt outlets for a band saw and a table saw and I wanted to put this all on a sub panel.I had brought up I wanted a wood shop and they said that the connection to the pole, transformers and the service line has enough capacity on it to service a 200 amp panel but some things would have to be replaced. So I need a new panel with all the existing Breakers transferred over I'm going to go to Square D because currently this one's a mismatch of types. I also have to upgrade the conductor that goes up from the panel to the roof mast and maybe also upgrade the grounding rods.Have I missed anything boys? Or girls, I know lots of girls in trade now
>>2963250Yeah, and he's probably got 480 volts at the pole. What good does having 400v at the main apartment panel do you when you are 3 floors up? His pole is probably closer than you main panel and he doesn't have to drill through a bunch of concrete to get it.
>>2963267no he isnt. do you know how 400V 3~ is laid out? its 400v at the panel, the one in your hallway, garsge or whatever. its never split until it reaches the end consumer. there its split into 230V + N branches for consooming. if you got a buttold panel and network it might be 230v 3~ and there they carry a Neutral, n is ground simple as.
