/sci/ feels too sci for this and /out/ is a little less /sci/ for this subject so im wondering if this fits on /diy/? anyways, does anyone have a weather station and if so is it custom built, or one of the prebuilts like pic related. if its prebuilt is there a good guide to build?

>>3005804What do you like about the Airco torches so much? I've run some Victors and had decent luck with them. Also have run some cheap chinese victor knock-offs and one pop and they will burn up some mixing valve in the handle and run like shit from then on. Have had pretty good luck running the 3 tube Harris knockoff torch from Harbor freight... I figure if it doesn't mix until it gets to the tip there's nothing to burn out if it does pop back. I recently scored 4 more K size oxygen cylinders, a couple S size, and a T size Argon/co2 mix cylinder. Don't even know how many cylinders I have total now, but it's bordering on ridiculousness for a 1-2 man maximum shop. Especially considering my LWS is less than 5 miles away. I just hate going to town for anything, and always hold off getting bottles filled until I have at least 5 or 6 and need other steel or supplies as well.
>>3005823aircos mix in the head so theres far less of the burnback chance. plus it seems to me like the preheat flame is more concentrated. and i really like the trigger vs a top levermy fav is the model with the head at 50 degrees instead of 90 and the 3 gas tubes arranged vertically stacked instead of a triangle like the one i bought above just because its easier to get up tight against things to cut closer to flush acetylene is getting so damned expensive though i go to the plasma 1st anymore. but it just doesnt have the warm fuzzy feeling of a cutting torch
>>3005826I hear ya on the acetylene. Been using mostly propane here lately unless brazing or if I really need to heat something up quickly using a rosebud tip.
I'm about to go weld in a fish plate on my f150. When I return it will be done or I will have fucked up and destroyed my frame.

I was cleaning the carburetor to a Yamaha outboard and while I was trying to unscrew the bull screws I pressed down on my workbench and I snapped off the air mixture screw that was protruding out of the top of the carburetor. It is extremely small and recessed in. What do I do? Anyone have any good ideas for how I can get this out. Notice the tip of a small harbor freight pick for size reference.
>Holy fuck I just did it I used the very sharp tips of two tiny little push pins to push an opposing directions by pushing it into the top of the brass and trying to spin the screw out. Very slowly and with a couple sharp bits of force at the beginning I got it moving and I was able to slowly force it out maybe an eighth of a turn at a time. I thought I just crossed myself $500 to $1,000 for a new carburetor I'm very happy I was able to resolve this. Thank you for any attention.
good jobbo anon I'm proud of you, persevere
>>3005798<3 May as well follow up and show how gunked up they were
>>3005801And now both are clean But I will have to order a replacement air mix screw. I was reading on the forums that apparently this generation of air mix crew is very delicate with the hand tightening end so I can order an older style air mixed screw that uses a flathead screwdriver and it will be much more robust and less likely to break when handling the carburetor in the future. So I will order a couple of these older style air mix screws with the flathead screwdriver heads to put into this motor and hopefully avoid this in the future.

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.
The evaluation version limits your code size to 2kb which is unacceptable. To get the full version and get that restriction unlocked you have to fill out a form on their website (silabs.com) and they send you a code by email and you can then use that to unlock the software fully. So I did that and am now good to go on that front. While beginning this long journey, I also have been figuring out how single wire bi-directional communication between my arduino "flight controller" and the 8051 Busy Bee microcontroller on the ESC will be able to talk back and forth. I decided to make a custom communication protocol from the ground up for this which I will also then use for all communications between all of my various microcontrollers in my robot's microcontroller network throughout its body. So working out the details of that has also been a recent challenge. But with chatgpt's help I'm making steady progress and have a nice overall plan already. Things are moving along nicely.
>>3005698what if you have ai translate it to a higher level language and back or even better to plain english, then you just write how it should operate and have the ai translate that back into assembly
>>3005749i dont know how to get ai to do that and doubt it even can accurately without becoming a buggy mess. I just use free chatgpt so maybe pro vibecoders using $10k in tokens per month running 50 agents on a network of PCs in the cloud could pull that off but I have no clue how to do any of that I'm not that kind of coder I just code myself and have chatgpt help along the way as I code things still. And chatgpt gets confused fast if things get too complicated it can't remember everything and gets lost fast and you have to start a new session when that happens as well. It could never remember a giant codebase architecture enough to write it all or w/e.
>>3005762>I just use free chatgptyou can't even pony up 20 bucks a month for a pro subscription to one of these services? holy fuck

If you were starting over at 30 more or less, what trade would you go into?
>>3005554I did an interview for a state job. It was a panel of people who had made up sounding titles like “Assitant HR hiring manager supervisor” and I sort of made up my mind that it was stupid before the questions started and got an email like 9 months later saying they chose another candidate (obviously because I answered their dumb questions with smartass answers).Most people seem to like their city/county jobs, at least the ones I know. Although my Monday morning did start out like picrel, always a good time whe the cobalt bits and helicoils are broken out.
>>3005217whichever union I could get accepted to.
>>3005630Any local/state/federal job is going to be filled with HR bullshit, play the game to get the job and don't talk like a maniac at work, that's all it is. I work in one of the wokest states around and I'm fine. My state was so desperate the interview wasn't even an interview, they just talked to a bunch of us at a table and had us start filling out information for the background check. Later I had an interview with the captain at the prison but that was basically a formality, as long as you pass the background check the job is yours.
>>3005217Probably plumbing or electrical.I like how plumbing is a little mix of everything, but electrical is probably less shitty on your body. But personally I'm going from trades to engineering.
>>3005217Anything where everyone is ultra dependant on you. If a job site or office is shut down until that one guy shows up and fixes X, be that guy. Do not under any circumstance think that "field X is on the rise and people are making good money doing it, I'll just do that!". Any shortage is generally overfilled after a short period if there's no barrier to entry. Lift technicians for instance have to be grandfathered in and it's a totally unique skillset. Work your ass off and learn everything you can in whatever you pick, and then start your own company doing it.Barring that there are niche markets everywhere, try to figure out how to specialize in whatever trade you're already in.

got sucked into the tail rolls of a conveyor belt the millwrights took the guard off and forgot about. Conveyor tails sit like 2 feet from the entrance to my electrician shop so pulled in just walking by. Called for help on the company radio but afraid I was going to be degloved so I disassociated and leg pressed both of my arm bones physically in half to free myself. 2 steel plates and 18 screws.

>>3004191Your methods are a bit questionable, but no one is arguing with the results.
>>3004191Leave your sperging at the door.
>>3000989>>3003984He's an ok guy. Definitely uses a lot of power tools in his workshop, both of which are things I can't really afford at the moment. Many times watching his methods it feels different than the way I would do things. Like the time he was putting a new handle on a knife and dulled the edge on his belt sander then resharpened it after the handle was done. I probably would have preserved the edge by wrapping it in cardboard or something. For him putting a new edge on a knife is very simple in terms of time and effort. For me putting a new edge on a knife takes a bit of time with a file and a wetstone. The equipment in your workshop changes how you think about and approach projects.>>3001111The guy invented his own hand tool to dig foundations quicker. He's a high caliber tradesman.

I'm an aspiring woodworker and I want my own space for working my projects.>But I live in a tiny, shitty one bedroom apartment>I hate it with a passion>I'm also pretty sure it's making me depressed and resentfulWhat would be a good and cost-effective way to have my very own work space?I plan to move out and rent a house for my family and I.And if I can't ever get my own workshop space, should I just stop coping and get back to the minimal wage job I hate and despise?
>>3003961I put up walls and smart siding on a covered porch area. The more you learn, you can just honestly build a shed or dust control a room. Anyone who gets into any serious woodworking or construction makes a ton of dust. Unfinished areas like a basement or garage are prefered.

you can get a 10x10 storage unit for like 100-150/mo. it's essentially just a concrete floor garageyou can do whatever you want in it besides stay overnightset up your work benches and tool mounts, store wood and sawhorsesgo to towni see guys at my local one running an appliance repair shop out of onethey got the like 40x10 though and it's a lot of storage then a workshop area in the front...mine doesn't have power, maybe theirs does? i didn't think about it till this moment. but really battery powered tools are better bet and you can recharge them at home overnight
