>>2964769Americans outsource building houses to the lowest bidder.
>>2964759It's the cheapest and fastest way of making the biggest house possible because most people are retarded and don't care about structural integrity. My house was made using ICF and it's perfect, plus the insurance is low because it's basically an above ground bunker with 1 foot+ of insulation everywhere. The only downside is that I need a hammer drill to even hang a picture frame, but that's about it.
>>2964781you got scammed and fell for it, you are welcome
>>2964781Don’t worry, we have a plan to fix it.It’s called the 50 year mortgage.I think, though, the houses won’t last 50 years.

>>2964554I would hit it with 400-600 and recoat. I don't have experience with HWO. French polish and lacquer re-emulsify the previous layer. They go on very thin. French is also being burnished by the pad as you go. Oil in fp is a lubricant that rises to the surface and is wiped away. To my ears, hwo sounds like an abbreviation of this.
>>2964560> Hardwax oil shouldn't be applied so thick that it leaves marks as it cures. Rub it in, give it 15-30 minutes to soak, wipe it off. Maybe give it a second coat if you want.Apparently I’m too stupid for waxing. Tried this in the second go (as advised on the can) but I still got lots of bad looking spots. Thanks ts gona be a bedside cupboard, so it’s not a big deal but it triggers my autism. Guess I’ll try pic related.

Warm up the last couple of inches until it re-liquifies in the jar, and get a pack of pre-made wicks mail online for a dollar.It's like having a candle club card, every 10th candle is now free to you now. Absolutely minmaxxing toward your frugals merit badge, but also a terrible use of your time.
Due to personal circumstances, im currently living in a tiny bedroom with barely any space for anything. I have a desk, a nighstand, and my clothes mostly go under the bed in a plastic containerWhat are some tips and tricks for taking full advantage of such a small space? I was thinking of getting a custom-built shelf on top of the bed for storing some stuff, and then a tiny custom made bookshelf that fits the corner since theres a pillar right next to it
rather than figuring out the most efficient way to cram shit wherever you can look into minimalism and declutter your space. organizing is not decluttering, chances are that you're living with tons of garbage you convinced yourself you need when in reality you could lead a more intentional life with less
>>2964737Go vertical
>>2964737I put 1x2 in the front corners of similar vertical shelving, instead of closed sides. It's great.Getting everything off the floor is always my first goal.
>>2964802>Go verticalthisfor several years and diff circumstances I've made various iterations of 4x8ft plywood Bunk Bed over Big Desk.If you need a "no tools" and almost instant break down for nomadic reasons, as well as retaining full value (like could even return to store for refund lol) of materials.....Buy 4 Saw Horses (I like plastic folders, but store bought wooden would do if that is your style) and two sheets of the strongest plywood they have. That might be 1.125" Subfloor, which is rough, but 3/4" finished will do.You could and should secure this stuff together with a few wood screws to make it a single unit, but it could be done with ropes.Test to figure out if plywood strong enough to not sag too much and reposition horses or if you are handy like me add some 2x3 under plywood.Another variation is to use Wire Shelving units instead of horses, but 48x18" shelving is less than 48" in between posts, but they do sell 55" and bigger units.Comment too long.

I am a welder and I paint with metallic paint and polish metals every day, and every day I feel worse and more aggressive. Is the lead hurting me?
>>2963859Lead is a risk factor. Many people not working with it however feel the same way. Could also be chronic inflammation from some food source. Gluten intolerance is common and it's in pretty much every item of food with an ingredients list. Turds should be firm and floating with ordinary diet (no extra fiber or husks). Depression and anxiety makes it secondary issue however >hey doc I feel like dying and genociding but first have happy easy wipe poopsIt goes undiagnosed for decades. Inflammation accumulate with exposure so subtle clues now can slowly become debilitating. All while getting pills and therapy from regular doctors visits. It's why selfcare YouTube doctors are a blessing. They make inflammation accessible in whatever pace required.
>>2963930Is sort of right in that diet and stress are more likely culprits. Lead is very unlikely since it's rather uncommon, but zinc, chromium, molybdenum are all pretty common in various grade steels, especially the harder 4000 series steels, and they can mess you up pretty good. You should be wearing a respirator when welding just as a general rule of thumb. If you're really concerned about lead you can try dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). Take like 20-30mg, if it makes you feel weird, worse, or better, then congrats - you've got lead. The proper treatment protocol is whatever the bearable dose is every 3 hours for 72 hours, followed by a 96 hour rest period. Rinse and repeat. Up dose as it becomes tolerable. Once you can run the upper dose (about 15-20mg) without symptoms take a break, and run a round of DMSA every 3 months or so as the lead continues to leech out of the brain and bones.
>>2963930>Turds should be firm and floating with ordinary dietYou mean I'm not supposed to have the liquid shits 90% of the time? Fuck.
>>2963859Pretty sure lead has been banned in most respectable countries
>>2963905>It will slowly accumulate in your body, and there is no cure or definitive way to get rid of it once you'd gathered enough inside you.Your body is always removing Lead, it just isn't able to remove lots very fast if there is some goofy thing going on.

>>2962458Carbide tooling for hobby use is retarded, one wrong move and you destroy the sharpened point on a carbide tool and then how the fuck are you supposed to re-sharpen it? Also it still wears out, even if slower than HSS and then you're left with expensive scrap.HSS tooling can be re-sharpened on a bench grinder or even a little dremel mounted in a vise. Learning how to do it takes a little bit of practice, but once you get it you can work shitty materials like solid stainless steel which wear down tools within minutes.
>>2962670This, we use carbide at cnc at work because labor cost is the most expensive thing At home consumables is more expensive because hobby

Burger problems. Guess that’s not festools fault. What however is, is>>2962452> storage box felt cheap and weak. More like dust cover than a storage box.I don’t know why they chose to use the cheapest feeling, ratty ass plastics there is. You pick up one of those sustainers and you think it’s some cheapo box cheapo tools come in, straight outta China, that you throw away and put it into a proper storage system, but turns out that is their system and it costs a lot of money. Same issue with meatobos system. Milhousee with their packout feels like it’s actually worth something, but not festool. For my /diy/ ass, festool is too expensive for the use I’d get out of it, apart from their sanding papers. For mesh, I prefer Mirka, doesn’t frail as much as festool, but for removing paint, their granat is fantastic. Thanks to the anon who recommended it to me!And in large boxes, pro tier stuff is cheaper than crap from the big box store. And I run it on a cheap Bosch green PSA with holes drilled into the head for dust collection.

>>2962147The doll part wobbles around quite a bit when the roomba stops.How are you controlling the roomba? If you have direct control of the motors maybe you could have them come to a smoother stop and prevent this rocking when the base stops. There are open source firmwares for robot vacuum cleaners out there, though their availability will depend on your model specifically. (Many of them are just reskinned versions of each other, even from different companies, so you might be able to port it if not.)
>>2962440>The doll part wobbles around quite a bit when the roomba stops.Yeah, I noticed that too. Aot of the problems come from the soft carpet my place has.>How are you controlling the roomba?Remote that came with it>There are open source firmwares for robot vacuum cleaners out there, though their availability will depend on your model specifically. (Many of them are just reskinned versions of each other, even from different companies, so you might be able to port it if not.)Interesting. I don't really know the model, I just know what the specific model looks like. I bet a more expensive vacuum has more control.
>>2962553>Aot of the problems come from the soft carpet my place has.I think it's just a leverage thing.

I bet a more expensive vacuum has more control.It's not really a matter of how expensive the vacuum cleaner is, because probably none of them have this gradual decceleration on stock firmware because there's just no need for them. Try and find the model (there might be a product code on the bottom you can look up if not the full model name). Take a look here too at other efforts to get more control over these cleaners:https://valetudo.cloud/

How do I get a mid shelf lidar? Something between a cheap mcu shit with range of 1 meter and military grade laser weapon that maps objects half a mile away. I just can't seem to find anything inbetween. Detection at 30-50 meters is enough for me. Would it be hard if I wanted to make one myself from an infrared lamp and sensor with some tweaking, lenses and arduino magic?
>>2964736There are a billion companies offering mid range lidars as you said but they are usually 2D rotating lidars, you can probably just use them anyway and discard the points you don't need

I need some elastic hose/tube with inner diameter of 7-8cm and wall thickness of at least a couple mmRubber/silicone/TPU/TPE, whateverany idea of what specific product I could search for? using generic terms I'm not finding anything quite right
>>2964862The problem you're going to run into there is that hose that big is going to collapse in on itself, so it's a very niche application. Would probably be easiest to just buy sheets and butt weld them together with some kind of adhesive.If you don't need that much flexibility you could obviously use silicone exhaust hoses, those go up past 10cm.
>>2964862Actually, it wasn't that hard to find. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009402198190.html
>>2964865>Would probably be easiest to just buy sheets and butt weld them together with some kind of adhesiveyeah I thought about it or printing something from TPU since I only need short lengths but I bet there's some ready made application that uses something that fits, I'll look into the exhaust hoses I'm going to put it over something else so it's fine if it collapses on its own>>2964866this is nice but looking at it I'd need about twice the wall thickness probably

>>2964387Quite often in CAD a 2d profile needs to form a closed "chain" or "loop" that defines the shape you want. If you do 2 circles with lines like this, you should be able to use the "trim" or "snip" tool, click on the part of the circle that is inside the shape. The tool will remove the un-used part of the circle and join it to your straight line where they meet. One done on both circles you have a continuous chain of lines that defines the part shape.
>>2964509That is not the lowest level? What comes before that, the chips blower?
i've got a small online shop and i'm wanting to get into machining mostly for prototyping and small level productionmost of what i do is designing and selling small gun parts and i thought i would be fine just ordering one offs from chinese machining companies, which kind of works but last time i ordered from one it wound up taking 2 months before i could get it, and now as a result i'm very closely falling behind a competitor with the same idea who has their own manufacturing capabilitiesmy workshop is just a small shed but i have room for something as large as a bridgeport mill, however all i have currently is a 220v outleti was thinking a bridgeport would be the best option since its powerful, sturdy, and as cheap as the other options i was looking at, but i would have to rent the equipment to move it (small trailer with a ramp, pallet mover, maybe a large engine hoist)or i could get pic rel which is only 530 pounds and probably less capable, but it'll ship to my door and work on my 220v outlet, aswell as take up way less spacethe parts i'm making are also pretty small compared to the sorts of things i see being made on the bigger millsand for what its worth i also intend to convert whatever i get to cnc down the line>just get a haas or some other enclosed cnc millquite literally dont have the space
>>2964727if you get a mill like that, or anyone has one see this video on how to gain some extra height https://youtu.be/9WmxGqWomdkits not working height, but you can use that extra height to change tools allowing you to use bigger tooling in general

is there ever gonna be a study for how retarded boomer tradies were? what prevented them from putting this receptacle in the next bay over instead of chopping up what likely was load bearing? this wall i removed was from the 60s, original house was from the 20s. make it make sense to a young buck like me.
>>2964492they'll curse me all the same but wont know the whole story. this was the story of a lazy faggot who couldnt cut out 1sq foot of wall to put a box in a good spot. its obvious if you take a gander around the other side of the wall and down below that this was possible and the better choice that cutting up a bearing column.
>>2964473>make it make sense to a young buck like me.you live in a country populated for generatoins by morons

>>2964748>no rational non-malicious explanationIt was cheaper and easier than the alternatives. Same reason they had that little razor blade slot in medicine cabinets.

Is it better to buy the trashiest used mobile home I can find, buy a shipping container and DIY, or buy a prefab "tiny home", cuckshed, etc.? I want to do the bare minimum, the only real requirement is having a roof over my head.
>>2964595>no annual property tax billOnce you set it up on land, it'll count as improvement that'll be taxable.>8 grandIt won't be, and that doesn't include the cost of foundation, septic, and well. Also in many areas there's minimum square footage restriction.
>>2964512I'm still waiting...
Trailer/RV will be the cheapest with everything you need. It really comes down to prices. There was a 8x27 trailer/RV around for 4K, which is pretty cheap. I didn't get it before the weather turned south here but if it's still available in spring, I'm going to buy it. That's the problem with this kind of thing. Moving is where the cost is. Even if you find a cheap mobile home, the cost of moving can eat up any savings over just building something of the same size. Of course the problem there is permits and inspections. Here, anything of 200sq/ft needs all the bullshit.Of course there isn't anything stopping anyone from just building a complex of 200sq/ft buildings.
>>2964595>Forget to update >Can't open the door
>>2954310this is actually the answer if your local code allows it. You'll have to figure out what bathroom option works for you because septic tanks add a lot of complexity to the yurt situation. That's why most people use an incinerating / humanure toilet in the yurt while they slowly build their 'real' house.If code allowed it I think a large yurt ($12k give or take), a large power station from costco, and some used or cheap solar panels would be a great setup for someone just getting started in the world. Obviously would only work in more rural areas. Could then slowly build a cordwood house and be pretty much set without a mortgage.In more restrictive areas a regular single-wide mobile home on a slab might be the best you can do, and that would set you back over $100k with septic and power hookup.
3d printing was supposed to be eventually in everyone's home. What happened?
>>2956820What's the best software for modeling a 3d prints?Preferably free and not on the cloud.
>>2961248I don't have space for welding/metal working So I have to do everything with 3d printer
>>2964546>>2964562>>2964658>>2964660Dood. It's fine that 3D printing isn't right for you. That doesn't mean it's wrong for EVERYBODY. It's just wrong for you.It's okay that other people exist in this world, even if they don't share your exact values or aesthetics.
Personally, 3D printing has worked out great for me. I paid for the cost of both of my printers in a matter of weeks by printing some tap handles for a local brewer. Since then I provided that brewer with the Gcode file and they went out and bought a couple of Ender 3's as well. Now, they print their own handles for about the same price that they were getting them from China to begin with, but they don't have to wait 5-6 weeks for delivery, they can print one-offs in different colors, the 3D printed version is *at least* as strong as the ones they were getting from China, and they can start printing today and have at least some handles going out the door today to their best customers.It was a wise business move for them to move production back to the states, specifically in the same zip code that they are located. It gives them the freedom to make smaller orders. It is the same or better quality. And it was a project that bought my first two printers and made me more money than that before I just gave them the Gcode file.Seriously, just because you haven't found a good use case for 3D printing yet doesn't mean they aren't out there. You just haven't found one yet.

What's an effective dog repellent that I can make at home? My neighbors dog keeps shitting on my lawn and I've had enough of it.>hard modeDon't kill the dog
Physical barriers are going to be the most effective but depending on where OP lives, might not be an option. It's common for front yard fences to be banned entirely and if not, be restricted to three or four feet of height (not a problem in this context since dogs usually don't piss and shit while hovering) and have setbacks from the street, especially for corner lots. These rules are less common and weakly enforced in bad neighborhoods, which it sounds like is what OP lives in.
