I know prepping is a bit of a meme, but what are some of the best food items to store long term? Is rice one of the best emergency foods? It’s cheap, it lasts for a very long time if kept somewhere dry (relatively easy to store), and a person can survive off of it in dire situations.What does /diy/ think?
>>2982834>if things go back to how it was for thousands of years don't you think it's a good idea to just die instead of not having fortnite and pornThis board is STUPID.
Buy a dessicator I just got one on Amazon. You can make jerky and dried fruits etc. Also look into canning and smoking etc. to store stuff you buy fresh. I also did not realize that regular flour spoils after a bit. So to have that consider them buying a hand powered grain mill and getting unground flour. It's more work but it keeps for longer. Don't forget water too. I'm also looking to get a big tub of lard soon.
>>2988292>unground flourD... do you mean wheat?
>>2982849The arsenic comes from contaminated fields
So nobody is talking about using smoke to coat meat or pemmican? weird

>>2988019Local farmers let the army contract to use land for manuvers.The county uses sattalight photos to determine structures on land for taxation.Satellite picks up on temporary army structures and then bills the farmer for a massive amount of roof space. Can't contest it because fuck you we don't have an appeals process.
>>2988569Nta, couple of my non-dwelling structures were destroyed in a natural disaster a while back. Still getting billed for them on taxes, too busy to dispute it for the couple hundred dollars a year. Had to deal with permit office for something else and they started pulling up old sat photos of when they were destroyed but not cleared off. Just look like a barn in the middle of a reroofing. So eventually when I rebuild and make a nicer building with power and plumbing and the county wants a permit to allow power company to set meter, I will act dumb and say the roof was torn off and it took me a while to fix it. In my experience county workers are 75% retarded 25% malicious. But ma’am why would I be paying taxes on a destroyed building, that makes no sense. Gotta use their laziness against them

>>2988558exquisite findfirst things first i think you oughta check some videos on youtube how to take the machine apart, or at the very least make sure you know how to take some of the plates off and make sure you are comfortable cleaning and oiling the machine properly, similar videos are gonna help you with thread tension and other issues, use different color bobbin thread at start to analyze whats wrong more easily at the startits relatively simple, once you can see inside, turn the handwheel and make sure every moving part has a drop of oil, get some silicone grease, a brush and apply thin layer for all the gearsthat aside, try out sewing some patches if thats what you will be using it for, get some scraps, heavy duty needles and get comfortable with the machine you need to actively guide fabric lot less than you probably think, the sewing machine does most of the job, just keep the fabric straight

What were the worst incidents you had while trying to /diy/ something?Some dumb shit I did: >Electrocute myself while trying to change a smoke detector cause the power was still in>Watertight sealant on a new drain, only to find out it was still in plastic once I was done and let it dry for 2 days>Drill into electric cable>Attach pipes that turn out to be leaking a few days later
Not really diy exactly but I was taking a intro to machining class. My piece was looking very roughly cut and shitty so like a tard I instinctively went to rub my finger on it. The mill immediately sliced a tiny chunk of skin off my finger lol. It didn't even hurt but I had to hide the blood. If they saw me do that I would have been told to leave lol. It makes me think of the stories they tell about people getting wrapped up in lathes. I may be that guy..

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.
>>2988283>>2988345>making the heat sink without knowing how much heat you have to wick away in the first placeYou clearly have no idea what you're doing
>>2988345chatgpt said all this would work and calculated heat wicking and heat travel speed and blah blah alot. I discuss stuff like this 10 pages with chatgpt just give you guys the highlights. It's like thousands of page of conversations on the robot at this point between me and chatgpt. Yes 6 solder jobs per driver for this operation in question to be precise. Then loads more soldering to solder on the wire and the solder wick wires. It's alot of work. A 3 layer flex pcb would achieve similar i wonder can you buy mutli layer flex pcbs? I bet it would cost a ton. >>2988421I am. This is a power module component for driving a motor that controls said arm...Anyways, that mention of 6 fiddly solder operations per driver (>>2988345) was kind of eye opening. Now I'm wondering maybe if I can simplify this to just two strips soldered directly to the pads then folded over. Only issue with that is then they have to be pretty small whereas the way I did it in that diagram, by level jumping control the way I did, the solder points of the big tabs are smaller but the tabs themselves can be wider than the chip so more surface area to heat dissipate with etc. I dunno. I'll think on it. It just didn't occur to me that this would be hard and alot of work. I guess I always assume that for everything related to this project so I don't really try to avoid that.
>>2988450> A 3 layer flex pcb would achieve similar i wonder can you buy mutli layer flex pcbs? I bet it would cost a ton.pcbway or jlcpcb will do it, especially in the number's you're looking at. You've got your designs ready and they don't cost a fortune.Bless the chinese.Having fun and learning is good, but for final parts make sure you get it done by a professional pcb company, you'll lose so much time on small things otherwise.
>>2988450I love the blah blah part. If you completed at least one intermediate arduino project with help of AI you'd know how full of shit chatGPT is about such technical stuff. You're literally entrusting creation of an openly homosexual millionaire to design an offering to God
>>2988450>I discuss stuff like this 10 pages with chatgpt It's like thousands of page of conversations on the robot at this point between me and chatgpt.>Anyways, that mention of 6 fiddly solder operations per driver was kind of eye opening.lmao i'd love to see these thousands of pages of conversations about the robot that ommit such stupid details
I have a scalpel that I've been using to cut a layer of skin off my foot. I have to be careful because even messing up a little means ghetes a gash on my foot, and they're pretty annoying.
Pumice works for me. I removed a planters wart with a lighter and an x-acto knife as a teenager because I didn't know what it was and didn’t want my mother to throw a fit. Don’t do that especially not if you can afford to go to the doctor. But it turned out fine for me

I use a pair of side cutters for model kits (godhands specifically), and after they dry I place them in a jar.

put your feet in hot water for 30 minutes and then use an orbital sender with medium grit sandpaper like 320 to 600 it doubles as a foot massage since it vibrates you can use a drill too but the spinning is worst for the skin

>>2982216>Biggest problems I've had working on Mahindras is the harnesses, and most of their electrical components are abject garbage.>Replacing/repinning plugs is a common thing as the plastic they used seems to be made out of cheese, and rots very quickly.Electrical is a bad spot on a lot of cheap equipment. For some reason they can't use any plastic or insulation that can stand up to the heat and oils. Ridiculous. Also this thread is over 6 months old... Lol.
>>2982216>>2982683my mexican neighbor has a ~50hp mahindra. said he heard all that same stuff so the day after he bought it, he replaced every connection on the harness and made sure it was done right. he's been running it for ~10 years now and to my knowledge it hasn't had a single problem. and he uses that shit for everything.
>>2982683>Also this thread is over 6 months old... Lol.Wow, better than the service life of many off brand tractor wiring harnesses.>>2982706The only other thing I've encountered, and this was just about every cast iron tractor part coming in from India was they tend to leave casting sand in the housings, and do not finish anything.Looking at you ,John Deere. Had a slew of smaller MFWD axles on John Deeres where they'd either leak through the porous casting, and/or the gears and bearings would be noisy because the indians couldn't be bothered to clean the casting before assembling the thing. You'd find the bearings and the sump areas full of that black casting sand.

Realizing drying time is 50% of the key to crisp lines. Got lucky with a color blind from what I did but it wasn't what I intended.
Wood dye will show the grain, you can get powdered mixes cheaper than colored stain. Coat with exterior spar urethane to protect it from UV.

why didnt anyone tell me windows make plant killing solar death rays?lost like half of my sprouts.

>>2988105I think it was in a small pot that got too hot and baked the roots.
Try thermally insulating the pot from the window sill and keeping the pot shaded. Also Neem oil for pest control.
>>2985044Why don't you try to live on a windowsill in direct sunlight all day and see how it feels?
>>2985044What floor is the window on? How many hours of direct sunlight does it get? That's the question here. Seedlings need shade and soft ground, when your veggies grow actual stalks, move them to a sunnier place(6 hours of direct sunlight or so)You should water with warm/room temp water as well. Try covering the earth at least around the root so it doesn't dry there if yours are drying from the roots up.>>2988131 bad comparison, sunbathing is awesome
>>2988127Based. Thanks.I think my problem was pot size on multiple levels.Also possibly way over watering.>>2988202Idk when I was a kid it seemed simple but now I realize a lot of wisdom must have been going into planting.
Hello again anons, you've helped me through a few projects and I'm back for more. This time I'm trying to identify which of the indicated framing members A through G in the next few pictures (i think i've got 14 total to give the full picture) are STRUCTURAL vs NON-STRUCTURAL. As usual, I will not take anyone's word on here as gospel, but I'm interested in collecting information and opinions.up front, I'm of the opinion that A should be left alone, B, C, D, and F are non-structural bracing that was only put there to aid in construction, and for the long diagonal boys E and G I'm really unsure (but leaning toward non-structural).Finally, there's the long catwalk along the middle - i'm of the opinion that it's only there as an aid to walking around, and can be replaced with blocking in the joist bays.My goal is just getting this shit out of the way while I improve this space and get some basic flooring laid down (just half-inch OSB for now) so i can store shit without having to balance on joists, which I've already been making great progress on. thanks in advance.
>>2987483>doesn't have purlinsThey're in the print, but prints are more of suggestions than manuals.
>>2987820is that what this is supposed to be?yeah i agree, these are off-the-shelf plans (literally they were picked out of Southern Living Magazine by the original couple who had the place built), so I know they're very generalized. I actually like this place and don't want to fuck it up. After further review I don't feel like there are enough features to stop the ridge from sagging (particularly at that hip where the other roof comes in), but I want to get some closer photos of how the joists are attached, as maybe they're set up in tension and i'd feel a bit better.
>>2987713That’s because it’s a ridge board, not a ridge beam.
>>2988048Yes, it should have some vertical supports or at the very least be supported at the gables. In the past these laminated ones were seen as magically strong and used for like 24’ unsupported span but definitely not intended to be floating
>>2987377Ok I am by no means an expert but here's what I've noticed reading through the whole thread.>the triple lam on the south side roof in the plansPurlins are used to split the rafter span if on the bottom of the rafters and split sheathing span if on top. Seeing as the gable of your garage volume intersects the main house volume on the south side, they may be to split the span of the valley rafters which are necessarily longer than the common rafters. Or they use thicker rafters. I would check this area.>north side purlins/skylight supportPurlin walls are not typical in skylight framing, it should just have a header and be boxed like any other windows>single 2x12 ridge beamNot structural since you have ceiling joists used as rafter ties, but before you put the floor in I would double check your attic entry has proper double boxed framing, since it cuts the intersecting rafter ties.>the actual boards you asked aboutThey are not structural, delete themLastly,>East facing corner windowsRise and shine early birdAgain no qualifying certs I'm just very interested in roof framing. Best of luck with your project anon
