>>2961148>wash off your dick when you're doneWhy are you washing your dick after pissing? Like the pee comes out of the hole, its not oozing out of the whole mechanism like sweat...
>>2962144>>2962112>>2962180>>2962187I submit that the massive and loose shitting rule after cleaning applies additively, so rather than spending all day constantly wiping resulting in one loose and massive shit when you finally stop, you in fact have to take many dozens or even hundreds of massive and loose shits because you've been adding to the counter all day long. By the time you tried to go to sleep you would be shitting for hours.Also to clarify, does wiping your ass after taking the loose shit count as cleaning and thus result in another massive shit 5 minutes later so that you are shitting every 5 minutes?
>>2964915So every wipe makes you have to shit?Yea wiping counts as cleaning. I imagined scenario 2 being true
>>2950088Lol. I have a friend that works for the local shit pipe squad. I love telling him how we flush wipes. Easy way to get him all worked up.

I wanted the green line a few months back but anons said not to pay 70$ and wait for the performance line. This a deal?
>>2964451i was a poorfag once, and i bought the cheapest tools awailable. it was just a waste of money, a 20€ drill that lasted that project? thats 20€ wasted. should have saved up that money instead and bough a real kit from a brand. cheapest versions of expensive brand drills fail regulary, atleast makita does. i had two of them catch fire right there in my hands, but they where then doing a job your cheap ass drill can never do. so i bought the expensive version and it never failed.

>>2963936>advertise a brushless motor with 10x longer lifespaAnd you believe them?
>>2964486brushless motors only have 2 small cheap ball bearings that are in mechanical contact, the rest is magnets and wire coils in epoxy. They basically last forever.At worst you have to replace 2 bearings you can buy for 2 bucks online anywhere these days.brushed motors have carbon brushes which wear and create carbon dust which abrades the bearings and the gears and everything, so they wear out eventually.

>>2964593I know you’ve already made it but just in case you wanted to improve it or if anyone else was interested. Although if you want to buy a press I’d recommend a stainless steel one rather than wooden.
>>2963896Good to know, I will try to build one before next season. I hadn't really planned on making cider this year but then I saw all those apples still on the tree and didn't want them to go to waste.>>2964591Thanks for posting these. Honestly pretty similar construction to what I came up with, except using a lead screw instead of jack. I had done a lot of thinking about lead screws, but it's a specialty part while bottle jacks are great because you can get them anywhere for cheap. I thought maybe I could modify a scaffold jack but that's more work and more expense. I already had the jack, and it was formerly useless because it was too tall to fit under the car I intended to use it for.Also I wanted the food contact parts to be metal so it'd be easy to clean, hence the steamer.>>2964297Nice, did you add yeast or use the wild yeast? I was going to count on wild yeast but after a few days I still didn't see bubbles so I added champagne yeast to kick it off.
>>2964672I put in a little bit of champagne yeast in there so that I could get something with a bit higher alcohol content. The wild yeast is kinda doing some stuff - I see some larger floaters and the likes.
Worst DIY accident you've had or seen?
>>2964213Damn.
not really diy but growing up my babysitter’s husband was a truck driver who delivered deli meats. he drove his own truck which he took home at the end of the day. one day when he came home he opened the door and jumped down from the cab and a ring he wore on his right hand got caught on a hook on the side of the cab and degloved his index finger. worst personal diy injury is when I was installing a tow hitch on my car. had to cut away part of the exhaust heat shield for clearance and a sliver flew out into my eye. this was spring 2020. I went to an ophthalmologist who turned me away because I failed the forehead temp scan. I was in bad pain and temporarily blinded in the right eye for a few weeks. slowly felt better with just some occasional irritation when blinking. eventually went to another eye doctor in 2023 and had the metal removed. she didn’t believe I had it in my eye for so long and assumed it must have happened recently.
was talking old war stories with my entire dad this weekend, he brought up a good one from 1985~ishthey were on 8foot jump scaffolding finishing the entrance face of a block wall for a garage and were about to set the lintels(2 @ 14 feet) and trying to brainstorm how exactly they were going to get them up the wall to lay themthe idea was 4 people load on onto the bucket of the excavator and then raisr the bucket and two people brace it while the bucket tilts a bit and it just kinda slides in place, no heavy lifting off the groundwell it rarely goes as planned when these things are consideredapparently dude had been trying to brace the lintel incase it started sliding with one hand and when the bucket was tilted forward the beam shifted forward about 4 inches to the very lip. severing every finger on his left handpersonally the worst injury ive seen involving crushing was one of our laborers trying to clean the mixer without putting the augur break or even just turning it off(real simpke shit takes 3 seconds, retards i swear.)so he reaches in with his trowel to scrapr the mud back off the barrel and as he pulls back the corner of the trowel gets jammed in one of the blades on the return and it pulls his arm in because he thought he could pull it out. he got EXTREMEMLY LUCKY. the trowel handle caught him between the bucket and the mixer blade and more or less deleted his left thumb completely. i mean pancaked, paperthin, completely gonealso had a non osha board on a 4th flight scaffolding give way under bear and drop a fuckton of brick next to one of our laborers, he quit that day
actually this is the job i had my eye injury oneach one of those windows are 30k, the corner pieces are 65the porch wraps all the awaybaround and between the two homes under the skywalk is a poolwhen we were setting forms to pour the slab for the porch on the street side one of the guys above us setting the windows dropped one of those suction cup grabhold handles whatever theyre called and it fell right infront of my face. those things would.not be pleasant to get hit withthat whole job sucked, the sun was insane, it was completely mirrored because of the glass.
also saw a guy digging a trench for the feed service line from pole to panel and a carpenter dropped a beveled 2x6 @ 11 feet from third story and it hit him bevel down square on the head, peeled back his scalp like an onion skin, that was pretty gruesome as well. the gc came back with hardhats for everyone
The apartment I live in now has a hydronic heating system (baseboard heaters with copper pipes) For the past two years I've been in this apartment I've noticed the heaters are barely warm to the touch and the apartment never reaches the temp on the thermostat. On cold winter nights the apartment barely gets past 63 degrees even though the dial is set to 73.I've told this to my landlord and he just says "the walls arent insulated very well so it will probably be chilly"I looked inside the thermostat and its a 3 wire zone type system, Red, White, Green (Y). I am only getting 12.2V when i test R to GI dont get any amps when I connect R to W. There is a heat actuator dial inside the thermostat from .15A to 1.2A and it may be inproperly set, but without reading any amps I dont know what it should be at. Really my question is: how do I tell the landlord to inspect my thermostat system without telling him I went in there and checked it out already? if I say that its still too cold in the apartment he might dismiss me again, and if I tell him there's something wrong with the voltage he may have have me evicted for fucking with the thermostat.
Pour oil down every drain boil cooking oil and pour it then rip all the copper out of the wall. Leave and go gambling.
Just connect RED->WHITE with a jumper wire. When it gets too warm just crack a window open lol.
>>2964333Someone already recommended that. I wonder if he ever did it. >>2963971
>>2964416>>2964333Do you mean jumper it with the wires exposed or while it’s hooked up to the thermostat?I think the issue here is that the heat IS running but it’s not running hot, I think all my thermostat does is just a simple on/off. The heaters are lukewarm 24/7 but the apartment barely cracks 65f
>>2964960Jumping the wires opens the valve to allow hot water to circulate. If it doesn't, then your landlord has the boiler limited, so there is nothing you can do about it aside from buying a space heater or putting on a sweater.

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
>>2964832>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.PS-being handy, I like to router the edges and apply some clear poly or WTF finish.One of the beauties of this system is you also have a nice set of TWIN big ass 4x8 PORTABLE tables you can deploy at moment's notice and carry on any car with roof racks.
>>2964737Youtube vids on tiny houses and overland campers have tons of stuff. A lot of it is expensive, but you can get the concepts/ideas to DIY
I know you said you have storage totes under the bed, but is the bed on any kind of risers? That will get you more underbed space for larger totes.

im melting the tail ends of yankee candle jars on my wood stove so i can make my own candles.
>>2963870>but some of us have big plans for the detritus we collect.This is a man I can get behind
>>2964001>I melted down a bunch of abs plasticYou know that off-gasses cyanide when you burn it right?
>>2964755That's nice dear.
>>2963865You can do this if you have lots of free time and are completely broke. So I did it once. 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.
>>2964836My dad used to do this on top of the wood stove they used as heat for the house. He'd just put all the almost gone candles there and let them melt and then pour them together and use a match stick in the middle as the wick. Didn't really take any time or extra energy at all for him because the wood stove was always producing heat when they needed it anyways.
How do I soundproof a vintage car? I can’t really put soundproofing material all over it, what are the main areas I should put the soundproofing sheets on?
>>2964648doesn't that stink up the car
>>2964419Floorboards, inside the doors with a panel or three, roof, firewall. Look at what vehicle manufactures focus on. They make knockoff killmat on Amazon for relatively cheap. If you want heat insulation they make sense foam stuff noice brand on Amazon if I remember right...
>>2964419I had excellent results using chicken-wire to secure foil-backed pink fiberglass to both sound and heat insulate the engine dog house of a 1968 mid engine Dodge Van.Fucking night and day. I'd have to use the heater on the dash.I secured the wire with little 1/8" screw cap bolts and nuts and washers, but you should be able to figure something out without drilling holes in the exterior body. Probably some spring steel slats that wedge at edges of body panels.
>>2964655The good ones dont do that at all.

Anyone ever designed their own PCB?Trying to replace the front IO Panel that supports a USB 3.0Anyone know the name for Female 19 pin header?Want to place it on the board so I can just use off the shelf USB 3.0 19 pin header extension cable.
>>2962530love these cases lol. got a few on ebay for similar idea of upgrading them never got round to it. just use them to put hdmi out to digital signage instead of smart tv. look forward to see where this thread goes.

>>2964518It's a very short adapter wire essentially so your chances are better than if you were designing a dense PCB but that spiderweb of traces with hard 90° bends all over the place and differential pairs not being routed in pairs half of the way and sitting right against other signal lines is not going to do you any favors. We don't make soft bends because they look pretty. We do it because once you get into the GHz range, the edges of traces become both emitters and reflectors and it starts to get properly weird.
>>2964708>than if you were designing a dense PCB but that spiderweb of traces with hard 90° bends all over the place and differential pairs not being routed in pairs half of the way and sitting right against other signal lines is not going to do you any favors.Interesting, yeah if I could I would have made the PCB larger for all of those traces. Having to fit it on 18mm pcb constrained a lot of my design choices.If this is successful. I might try my hand on doing some USB routing board from scratch. Just to learn
>>2964712You don't need a bigger PCB. It's perfectly simple to route those traces sensibly on the one you have. You just need to have a general understanding of how signal lines interact with one another and to follow the design guidelines.
A question about wood finishesI'm making a very simple clock. Just a quartz mechanism. Simple and within my limited scope.The face is a piece of white ash. I intend to use satin finish minwax polycrylic as the finish. I understand that this finish does not really alter the colour of the wood. I have boiled linseed oil, and I see white ash treated with BLO takes a nice golden colour.How long should I wait after applying a single BLO treatment until I apply the polycrylic? Would 24-48hrs be sufficient? Is applying BLO redundant if I intend to use the poltcrylic?Cheers
Polycrylic is very clear, but that doesn't guarantee the wood looks identical to the unfinished color. Always use scrap material to test a finish or process you are unfamiliar with. BLO is yellow and will darken with age. It can help make things look older than they are. I would use either one and follow the directions. Drying and curing times are different. If you want to use a blend, then run a Tung oil or tru oil and be done with it. If you're trying to make your own blend, then have at it and stop bothering us.
>>2964902I appreciate you telling me what you know. Merry Christmas
