My hypothetical friend wants to send a package to a child in a developing country that he's sponsoring. Unfortunately the organization has limits about what he can send. He wants to send cash or precious metals but is not allowed to do so because "it's unfair to other families in the village"How could he hypothetically skirt the rules?Your sponsored child will be delighted if you send them a small gift. When you do,please keep it small, as flat as possible and under 150g. We keep gifts small to reduce shipping costs and to ensure efficiency through customs. Symbols of Friendship: photos, stickers, postcards, balloons, toy car, dollFun and Sports: Inflatable beach balls, skipping rope, bouncy ball, yo-yoLearning and Exploring: Maps, small notepads, calculator, bookmark, flash-cardsWriting: Pens, crayons, pencil case, markers, ruler, eraser, copy bookPlaying with friends: travel size board games, cards, puzzlesTIP: Ensure the gifts you send can be shared with siblings and friends! money expensive gifts (jewellery, watches) electronic items (phone, tablet)Comment too long.

>>2958826It's for his parents to use for themselves and their child obviously
I don't think it's going to be possible. You would need a way of hiding it that a charity worker wouldn't discover, but a child would. Adults are smarter than children, so you won't be able to do this.Also, I feel like I'm posting in an undercover money smuggling thread. Money and precious metals is a weird thing to send a kid.
>>2958785>sponsoring turd world>no legal maximum on what % of donations such organizations/charities can keep for themselvesThe kid (if real) is getting a government (taxes) funded humanitarian vegetarian MRE once per week while the CEO of the "organization" you're going through is keeping 99.5% of your money while using the other 0.49999% to keep the lights, phones, and website on. You are actually sponsoring some kike's mansion(s) while paradoxically still teaching the browns to expect, nay demand, blessings from Whitey on high. Odds are good you are wasting money to perpetuate fraud while creating a cultural barrier of learned helplessness sabotaging less fortunate people's chances at ever becoming self-sufficient.>must check all gifts to ensure nothing inappropriateBoth legit due to customs issues and a convenient excuse to pick through the gifts and take anything they want or is of any value first. Assuming any of it ever actually leaves the country and isn't just filtered for valuables and then binned.
>>2958787You're already sending them money by sponsoring them. Why are you trying to send them money under the table?All the rest of this stuff is just tat to make sponsors feel good about themselves and keep donating anyway. They could buy heaps of the junk they recommend in bulk with your sponsorship and distribute it if that actually had any positive impact.
>>2958785Ask to meet the child you support on a trip there.If it's fraud, they will find any and every excuse for you not to go.If it's not and you can go and see him, just give him the money hand by hand.I suppose if you really want to hide money, you could cleanly open the package of a small toy, and stuff a bill in any enclosure or aperture of the toy, and then receal the package.But you are probably wasting your time, as >>2958848 and >>2958849 already said.
I just bought a 240z that is a major fixer upper. But it is one of my favs so working to restore it over the next year. I'm in the process of stripping everything out so I can properly inspect for rust. So far, just two areas need it, but I imagine after removing the paint I will likely find more.My question is, what is the best way to remove paint and rust from the body of a car? Is media blasting recommended? If so, do you know a good machine I could use at home? I just need to create a clean room around the car right? Walnut shells is what I was researching. Advice on vehicle resto for paint and rust removal appreciated. >pic semi related

If you don't want to help, they have gay sites that allow you to jerk eachother off with roleplay. >>2958891I know of two places, but they charge more than what the car would even sell for brand new.

I want to make a big ass leather bag but I can't be assed to do iron pricking and saddle stitching and I wondering how easy are these things to use. Is it just a case of not being a retard as you feed in the leather? I want to make shit like Gladstones because of how overpriced some of them are.
>>2958466>just a case of not being a retardNot entirely there's a bit of painful well that was obvious in heinsight moments too but that is based on my experience with cotton etc in machinesGet some leather to practice on, check tutorial videos and check the sewing general >>2936243
>>2958472Thanks anon
>>2958466from what i have seen, poking holes than sewing is the way to go, removal of material not like cotton sewing where you are moving material out of the way.
>>2958466Honestly man as someone who does leatherwork, there are a ton of resources out there and I would recommend checking the leathercraft reddit & discord. You’ll want an industrial machine with a walking foot, they’re pretty spendy but not terribly difficult to use. I found mine for 700$ on fb marketplace Picrel a bag I made
You dont necessarily NEED a dedicated machine for this. Most older ones from the 80's and earlier have enough power to go through 4 or even 6 layers of rigid leather.

>>2955875>I actually have half a dozen WD40 ones i have held onto, with the idea that i would put a pressure nozel over the output and re-pressurize them when i eventually get around to buying a compressor. Theres a video on youtube of a guy doing that, using a rubber tire valve press-fit over the stem of the can.>Though i guess just buying a normal squeeze bottle and emptying the cans into that would be easier and less likely to have the can explode while i'm re-pressurizing it...

There's an old school marine bedding compound called Dolfinite that is referred to in that field as "monkey shit" because of its sickly color and the fact that it's soft and gooey/sticky and gets everywhere.
>>2958602The plastic ones are used on sprinklers all the time between a T on the sprinkler line and the sprinkler head. And they’re used anywhere you need a male-male connection. Valves and fittings and meters are mostly female, so if you’re piping something where you have access with a shutoff valve and a meter right next to eachother, use a nipple of the appropriate size.

I've been looking at some type of large rolling toolbox since I saw one of my co-workers showing off his Milwaukee pack out. Every brand, even the low level brands like ryobi, charge like $200 - $350 for this. A fucking plastic box with wheels. Are there cheaper alternatives that function the same?
Fuck that stupid stacking tool chest bullshit. Had one for a month or so before giving it away after I got fed up with stacking and unstacking the things all the time. Get yourself something with drawers, you won't regret it.

I was thinking about this the first time around 20 years ago. It seems not to be the most famous way of cooling, but I did want to give it a reconsideration.I want my PC to be silent and figured to dump it into a canister full of oil would be the easiest and ongoing way to do so.Usualy I never upgrade or change parts. When I have a system running it stays like this. I may consider upgrading the GPU befor.Neither do I need fancy LEDs or a see through case. I want this build to be as sturdy, simple and cheap as possible. No fancy shit, just a silent machine.I've read about mineral oil, since basic plant oil can break.There were some mentions of involving a radiator, but that would also need to involve an oil pump (noise?) and more work plus sources of failure.Any thoughts or experiences on this topic are appreciated.This is the PC I want to dunk: https://www.msi.com/Desktop/Aegis-3-8th/SpecificationComment too long.

>>2958547Yeah, if you look closely, in an oil cooled system, all the fans spin at reduced rpms. This is because of the viscosity of the oil. The same thing would happen to an HDD if it got submerged in oil. Idk about helium-sealed drives but seeing as how cheap high capacity SATA SSDs are, I don't think you should even bother with conventional hard drives.
If you're spending hundreds on oil submersion consider putting it in another room and using a kvm
>>2958614Depends on how much storage you want I think. You can get 8TB helium sealed HDDs for about £100. 8TB of SSD is £450 in the same market.I'm most of the way through building a 48TB system right now, so SSDs would cost me an extra £350 * 6 = £2100. I'd rather spend that elsewhere.
>>2958620I suppose a NAS can also be an option, those can run basically fanless if you buy low power hardware. I really don't understand why you'd want such a huge storage space for your personal system.
>>2958621Most people people don't want or need that much, but if you want even a pretty normal amount it's still better to get the HDD because the price is a quarter that of the SATA SSD.
What screws should I pair with them?

It says on the package 40kg, 6mm screws will be fine as long as you don't shock load them.
