The eternal debate.
>>2999745I have no idea how they plastics industry was able to get away with that. Probably bribes. The left image is the recycling symbol. It has been around for decades and can only be put on a product if it is recyclable. The right images are plastic identification codes. They just identify what kind of plastic it is. Some codes, like 4 and 5 aren't always accepted for recycling during curbside pickup. Codes 3 and 6 are almost never recyclable unless you find a place that specifically accepts them. 7 is never recyclable. It was just a scam some corpo suit shithead cooked up so they could greenwash plastic and try to convince consumers that this stuff wasn't all going into the landfill anyway.Even if it is code 1 or 2 they also often end up in land fills. Just because your waste pickup people take it and it *can* be recycled doesn't mean there is any demand for it. Plastic isn't like metal or glass. You can't just melt it down and make new shit with it. You have to carefully heat it and remold it. It doesn't even get hot enough to sterilize it so you can't turn an old milk jug into a new milk jug. You have to use old plastic on the outside and new, non-recycled plastic on the inside or you will contaminate the product. That is more expansive than using new plastic. Almost no one does that. Even if you do find a product that can use it that might be it. Many plastics break down over time or with repeated processing so you can only recycle plastic a few times at best before it is trash. There is copper, iron, and glass that we have been recycling for literally thousands of years.Hell, even the first plastic recycling plants were scams. They were funded by the plastics industry. Once people lost interest in the controversy their funding dried up. They couldn't turn a profit without that funding so they all closed. Event now and then people raise a fuss and it gets traction. So the plastic industry cooks up something else. Like compostable plastic.
>>2999728> Tell me why this wouldn't workBut it does. That’s where waste goes, to the incinerator plant. Burn it, use the heat for power and district heating, filter the flue gasses as good as possible and landfill the remains. Just putting everything untreated onto a landfill is only done in third world shitholes.
>>2999735The green and blue haired psychos made us take out a huge fucking tsc bond to pay for it here. It's all new green energy shit.I got to pay the trash company extra to take my trash and burn it I have to oay the county $3000 a year in taxes just for this one bondI have to pay the power company extra tk.buy.power from.them.Fucking hell trash mafis
I just burn my own trash, plastics and all. And then return it to the earth as ashes in a hole in the ground. Ez-pz.
>>2999758I think a big part of the problem is that stuff can be technically possible to recycle but not actually practical with the equipment and resources recycling facilities have, as well. I know my local one rejects a bunch of stuff specifically because it jams up their grinder rather than because the material itself isn't recyclable.

>>3000595Wow IceSL looks really powerful. Too bad it’s closed-source and for non-commercial “research” use only. The license is for an indeterminate amount of time, and they reserve the right to revoke the license if you violate any of its terms, but there’s nothing about arbitrarily revoking the license. The license also refers to the software itself, but not to the g-code, so it seems reasonable that one company could legally produce g-code for free, and a distinct company could print and sell that g-code without violating the license.
>>3000599Yeah, sadly, but for hobbyist use it's great once you've figured out how tf to set it up. Prints much "smarter" than Cura or most contemporary slicers I've tried. Besides, afaik it's not phoning home, so what are they gonna do now that I've got the binary?
>>3000595Hell yeah glad it's printing for you anon. Thanks for the tip on that slicer. I'm the baker, I'll throw that in the autistic slicer category
>>3000604It's already in the category. Completely autistic, yes, but it actually printed all the way (not great, since I've used a rather simple "unconfigured" configuration). I think with better parameters it might actually print nicely. Maybe I can get to "press print and forget" soon. Have some minor issues with the config (given positions it takes once it finishes printing), but I think it's rather quickly solved. Gonna have to do some config prints and if that works, hooray!
>>3000612So while it did print the part came out shitty. Possibly, still, a config issue or something with the filament feed. Probably a combination of both. Oh well, it was the first "successful" print in a long time.
I live in a rather large Midwestern city. I want to buy a vacant lot and put a bunch of shipping containers there for storage. Maybe perhaps charge for storage, but I don't want to mix my shit up with other people's. The Mexicans in my city already do a bunch of that where they have cars, boats and heavy equipment sitting by their buildings on concrete-paved yards, or sometimes even on gravel.I am not a barbarian who leaves my things out in the rain, so I want a shipping container or conex box.How to do this cheaply so I don't get fucked on price, but also not so retarded that I would get the municipality or county on my ass for zoning or nuisance laws violations? I already thought about prefab buildings, but I want to have as little to do with needing to seek permits as I can, except maybe for fencing and gates. Thanks in advance.
Once you get your permits in order with local gov and get around to sourcing the containers (I don’t recommend using them they’ll turn into ovens in summer) you need to make sure you know what they’ve been used to store previously. Like anon said, foodstuffs are good. So is furniture. Stay away from anything dry chem related.

this Framing Inspector seems kinda picky.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R15nJNwtEp0
>>2998926These houses are built for bottom dollar labor and materials. He sprays everything as though it's structural and needs to be unmolested and cut tight. Notching the shower rough in valve isn't going to cause the roof to collapse. There doesn't need to be an LVL header to hold the tile to the shampoo nook. You can't have it both ways. If you want everyone on the crews to be 40/hour union staff held at higher standards, then you're going to triple the cost of the build. Framing is labor and skilled subs do large portions of the other duties. >5 yearswhoa look out! I'll probably be upgrading to a forever home in the next 4. Then again, they're floating pex into this mc tract home. That might fail in the next five. It won't only be the framing that's sloppy.
>>2997195it's fast like fast food
Now that the inspector has painted all the framing red, which inspector are we on the side of Preston or Cy?https://youtu.be/ltbKzjPAxukhttps://youtube.com/shorts/h7B_4160-2E

My unit's central air unit says it's blowing 61 F, but it sure as shit doesn't feel like it. I out in a maintenance request and they claimed they fixed it. While I fight them over this, I can't bear this heat and humidity in Florida anymore. I just want my bedroom cooled, it's big enough for a queen-sized bed, a desk, and two drawers. The problem is I have these windows, and if I get a normal AC unit, there will be a huge open hole above it. I also live on ground floor, so keeping my window open when I'm out also no good. What are my options? I do IT work, and I've seen self-contained, small rectangular units above the door in data closets for keeping the space chilled. I also saw a video on insulating a cooler, filling it with ice/frozen water and pumping the air in it out with a fan and vents. For options, on top of standard power outlets and mounting whatever on the wall, I'm willing and able to run tubes to and from my bathroom for tap water and discharge back.
>>2996694You can also buy a mobile mini split.Dual hose is better than single hose mobile units. But the minisplit is basically a normal AC on wheels. Probably the best option.However, I don't know how easy they are to mount on your windows. Or rather, hang from your windows.
>>2996694>My unit's central air unit says it's blowing 61 FThats not how a thermostat works anon.
>>2996694>says its blowing 61No it doesn't, you have it set to 61 because you are retarded enough to think the air coming out is supposed to match the temp on the thermostat.When it gets to 61 in the room (it won't) it will shut off, that's what that means.Measure the temperature at the supply and return. There needs to be a difference between the two, typically 10-20 degrees.
>>2996694set your thermostat back to 69 or 70 before you blow that poor system up
>>2996694Manufacturer & serial?
In your opinion, what’s a good all around impact I should get?The biggest thing I’d probably be doing is occasionally taking off my car tires to wash the rims. Other than that, small stuff. For example my latest project is taking apart and fixing my weedeater.
>>2999188It's for taking apart your dash and such
>>2999623Also for removing dozens of 10mm fasteners which hold all of the brackets and bullshit in a modern engine bay to reach the part you actually need to replace. Oil changes even, lots of cars have like a dozen fuckin T-30 screws holding the splash guard in place before you can even get to the drain plug.
>>2999627Back in my day we just knocked a hole in the oil pan when we want to change the oil. Patch it with some lead and a blow torch. Of course, that was before oil filters were a thing and all of the oil was non-detergent. This fancy detergent oil they use today will probably give you dick cancer if you heat it up too much.
>>2999714jokes aside i have drilled more than 1 trans pan to dump the oil rather than taking a baththen just weld a 1/2 coupling on for a convenient drain the next service the trick is to not stab into the valve body or wires because that complicates shit exponentially
>>2999727I used to work on tracked vehicles in the Army. Think M113s, not Abrams. To change the oil on these you have to park them on a slight incline, crawl under the vehicle, remove an armored plate (which is held on by a ton of bolts), and remove the oil filter. Because these fuckers vibrate like OP's Mom's Hitachi on high, the filters are either already loose (you get an oil bath as soon as you loosen the plate) or so tight you have to hammer a screwdriver through them and then beat on that to get them to turn. You then empty out about half the oil they should have in them, because the driver can't be bothered to put down his favorite huffing solvents long enough to check the levels, and refill.The cool thing about them though, is when the driver disables the governor so they can keep up with the Abrams and the engine blows up, completely removing the thing is not that bad. You can swap engines is half a day if you are in a hurry and have a hoist.
Some videos say they're the best, others say you'll ruin your roof. Seems like the detractors of them say that just brushing them off once a year completely negates the whole thing but I can't really tell. Only really have large leafs to worry about.Installing them myself btw so it will be like $400 not $3,000.
>>2999021a lot easier to clean a raised surface where most of the moisture has fully drained or dried rather than the mucky mess left when the leaves sat wet at the bottom rotting
>2 weeks later>the biggest wasp hive you've ever seen
>>2999100that costs money
>>2999100That would work but it's simpler and cheaper to just get those electric cords to prevent ice damming
>>2999143>Snow rails are a safety feature to prevent you getting buried by snowIt becomes this snow-ice hybrid after self-compacting and freeze thaw cycles.Pic related is not so bad as it slowly creeps toward ground, but a similar slab can suddenly detach and slide down the slope demolishing whatever is in its path.
Why does every store refuse to sell you these? Yes, I know the risks. I don't need to be lectured, just give sell me the product.
>>2993094>WhyIf you're smart enough to think you need one, you should be smart enough to be able to make it yourself. If you can't, or can't figure it out, you don't deserve to have one.
>>2999161https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cIOkx6y29a8
If you truly need this retarded device, just get an extension cord, cut off the socket, and attach the repair plug. Cost $3 plus the cord. Tools needed, just a knife and screwdriver.
>>2999392>NeedSet things up right and nobody needs it.
>>2993597No, you use it during power outages to turn on a couple lights. Maybe charge your phone. It only powers up one leg anyway.
Why have all the big box store websites just turned into Amazon?The Aisle/Bin# is never right, and whether or not it's in stock at my nearest store is never right.Then I'd say 75% of ALL the products on their website is online only. Same with Walmart.Harbor Freight, strangely enough, has the most useful website of all the big names.
>>2998521I would really like it if a law could get passed saying it's illegal to withold features or usability for people who won't download their app. It should be possible to do anything on any website without having to sign in or download an app
>>2999558I feel like if they did an accurate inventory at least once you'd be able to keep it mostly on track by recording what's scanned at the registers, returned at customer service, and delivered on truck each week as long as you start with an accurate baseline.Only putting it into practice would really tell you the rate is error that occurred but doing a full inventory at least once a quarter would hopefully be enough to curb that. God willing.Though, as you said. They probably don't have an actual vested interest in doing it. It seems we've passed the innovative and efficient stage of our society and entered into a "squeeze it for every drop" stage.
>>2999634It's like this already. People steal shit and shit falls behind shelfs and gets hidden around the store by retards
>>2999639But that’s something you can calculate. There’s probably some basic research on that already (percentages of loss, depending on the type of product and ethnici…err location of your store and all that stuff, and with the occasional inventory, you adjust the numbers to fit your exact pattern and you add some safety margin on top and you should be good)
>>2999678Not really. You could project maybe a total $ of expected loss, but did Mr. Rosenberg take a can of spray foam or a polyurethane post setting pack? When he reached back to grab it did he knock a 1ah Bosch battery down the shelf or a 2ah? Where did he hide the snickers bar fkr later?
Board Certified Master Arborist and Qualified Tree Risk Assessor here, AMA.Lets please not turn this thread into a chainsaw/ tree cutting dick measuring contest, we have enough of those. Lets focus on the plants. Pic related is a girdling root I removed from an eastern white pine located on a residential property. My question for you guys is on chisel sharpening. I use a few different size chisels to remove roots like this, but they obviously get dull frequently using them down in the soil near rocks and such. I don't want to put the effort in sharpening them like I do my nice chisels in the wood shop because these get beat up constantly. Right now i just use a flat file from my chainsaw sharpening kit. any better ideas?
