I'm finding that I struggle a lot with sleeping and doing certain things that necessarily lead me to believe that my bedroom has bad air flow. My bedroom is in the basement of my house, has no windows, and exactly one doorway in the opposite corner from my bed. We do have a vent system but it's old and doesn't have A/C, only heating, which we never use, so it's basically a static non-variable.I always keep a fan on blowing in air from the door at night, but of course that doesn't help. What can I do to fix this problem? I need to be able to breathe better.
>>2947094>How to improve air flow in my firetrap with no windows and 1 door?Open the door?
>>2947933Measure the CO2 anons, especially where you sleep or spend the most time. Was into this long before covid bs. So many people live in awful AQ environments without realising. High CO2 env turns you retarded. Few minutes of fresh air flow a day can be enough
I temporarily rented a room like that. I stuck a cheap Walmart fan on top of the vent to suck air out of my room and i would leave my door open. It helped alot because the previous tenant had black mold and would sleep in that. I never had black mold or any kind of moisture issues because of the constant air flow provided by the cheap fan.
>>2947094Get a dehumidifier and a good fan. I had to deal with this when I first moved into the basement as the air was stagnant and heavy and just ugly. Dehumidifier and fan have made the basement bearable.

>Venice Was Not Built on Solid Ground...>It was built on millions of wooden piles driven deep into the seabed.Since the year 421 AD, this floating city has defied both time and engineering logic.While most cities rise upon rock or concrete, Venice stands upon a submerged forest of timber.Specifically, alder wood — a type that doesn’t rot underwater.Buried in clay and soaked in saltwater, it doesn’t decay; it petrifies, turning harder and stronger over the centuries — almost as tough as stone.>A timeless marvel that continues to support an entire city.>The Campanile of St. Mark’s alone rests on 100,000 wooden piles —each one hand-driven up to three meters deep into the lagoon floor.>But why build a city on water?>In the early 5th century, Italy was under siege by barbarian tribes.>Fleeing from invasion, people sought refuge in the muddy marshes of the Venetian lagoon.>The water became their wall — a natural fortress no army could easily cross.>And so, amid the mud and mist, Venice was born.>Not as a city that conquered nature —Comment too long.

Venetian here >>2949950Piles in the mud don't degrade, it's an anaerobic environment that's not conducive to microbial life, at least the one that eat wood.>>2950055Yes, but not because of the weight of the city itself: in the early XX century, because of the rapid industrialization of the nearby industrial port there was a rapid growth in population and to meet the water demand they went for the lowest hanging fruit and they pumped water from the acquifer beneath the city until the 1970s when it was banned. Since then there was a slight improvement in the piezometric level of the acquifer. Also, in the last few decades, cruise ships visiting the city fucked it up just due to their water displacement (then there was the pollution from their engines, but that didn't cause the city to subside).

I mostly tinker with air guns. I have some designs for valves I'd like to try out. Would it be better to try to have cnc services make them for me, or get a $500 mini lathe and learn how to use it? 1. Have you had any success with online cnc services? 2. Are those mini lathes any good? Valves are mostly made from aluminum or brass and delrin, but steel seems like a wiser choice for anything that would be bearing pressure.
>>2949617thats coolmind to share your designs ?im dabbling in airguns also, ive used column drills and mini latheavoid the crappy toy jewelers lathe, but i think a small tabletop lathe (the one i used was maybe 70cm long)while it was slow to cut steel, going slowly was alrighti'd suggest getting the lathe with some carbide cutting tools, this way when/if you fuck up with your dimension, you can just cut a bit more instead of drawing and ordering another one (waiting 2 weeks)
>>2949876In a regular valve, the stopper is held in place by the air pressure and a return spring. When the stopper is depressed via the pin, air pressure slips around the stopper and flows out through the transfer port.In this design, the high pressure air is kept off of the back of the stopper by a separate chamber. The stopper has a hole drilled through the back and is vented through the transfer port, so the only force normally holding the stopper closed is the return spring. When the stopper's pin is depressed, high pressure air flows out through the transfer port and also through the hole in the pin, flowing backwards into the second chamber and pushing the valve back closed. The goal is to have the valve be very easy to open (like the valve on an unpressurized tank), but to close again very quickly under the force of the pressurized air as it is released.This image is simplified a bit, but I hope it illustrates the concept. I don't have a prototype yet.

Hey anons, I opened up my old fat 360 to replace the thermal paste and now I’m getting 3 red rings with error code 0110.From what I found online, it’s usually GPU or RAM around the GPU. I circled some empty spots on the board in the pic, but people told me that’s normal for this revision.Question is: how do I save this thing at home? Is a heatgun reflow actually worth trying, or is it just a temporary bandaid and a full reball is the only real fix?Anyone here had success reviving an 0110 without professional BGA equipment?tl;dr: how do I resurrect my fatbox, don’t wanna bury it just because of a few cracked solder joints.
>change thermal paste>fuck up xclamps>RRODevery time
The real fucking answer is this: most hardware failures up to Xenon have GPU defects. Most of the time even a reball won't completely fix it, though it WILL need a reball with a newer GPU.Properly diagnose your own console or give it to someone who can.
>>2949353>>2948658>>2948188x-clamps is the only thing I remember about fixing mine back in the day. consider a pawn shop these have to be cheap as shit these days outside of the niche faggots.
>>2948171Just throw a wet towel over the vent bro.
>>2949353>>fuck up xclampsAmazing how this bullshit persists. I regularly buy working boards which are shaped like a banana after 20 years of an installed heatsink with no backing plate bending it, remove the heatsink, put one on with a backing plate, and it still works. Electronics shouldn't stop working because you disturb them slightly, an XBOX board should boot with the case open, and a block of metal resting on the CPU and GPU.You either reball the GPU with 60/40 or 63/37, or you replace it with a Zeus GPU (which you have reballed with 60/40 or 63/37). That's how it's fixed. End of story.Everyone who bought aftermarket clamps 15+ years ago is a complete retard because Microsoft REPLACED YOUR GPU FOR ZERO DOLLARS if you just mailed them the fucking console with a shipping label they'd send you for ZERO ADDITIONAL DOLLARS.>>2948171>without professional BGA equipment?If you're really diligent you can replace a BGA chip with a heat gun. Hot-glue seal some tinfoil to protect the rest of the board (glue the bead on the side of the foil which doesn't get direct heat, then fold back You will need a re-balling stencil regardless.Anything unpopulated from the factory isn't important.>>2948658Comment too long.

>>2949536It is insanely stupid to first let AI code a human operable interface and then let AI navigate it for the user. In OPs example you would let the AI operate on the raw data file behind it instead OpenAIs ‘agents’ iirc take a screenshot of the UI, find text/data on it and then operate on that which is stupidly inefficient and slow

My washer from the 90's failed and I dropped the timer (most expensive) while dissambling and figuring it out, causing it to break. Found another washer for free, works, better than nothing. But the amount of bullshit involved with it...>No ability to set water level>Put it on "deep water wash" but it still only fills half full>Auto sensing>Stops filling when you open the lid>Won't spin at all with the lid openWhat the fuck is this shit? I know how dirty it is, I know how much soap I put in, I know what I want. I set it to deep water wash, so fucking do it. Fill all the way goddamn it. It fills to half. Half. I said full, you stupid fuck. Occasionally end up filling it manually with a bucket.Is this really how bad it's gotten? My old one had a dial. If you set it to full, it filled to full. Period. Very straightforward. You pull on the dial, it starts working. There was no start button. There was no auto sensing. It didn't do any of this shit. What the fuck is wrong with this world. I have no control over this thing and have to fight with it to have it doing what it needs to.

My wired earphones have some issue and refuse to workI try to connect to my green headphone/earphone jack port on my computer, and it appears connected, but nothing playsSimilarly, on my laptop, the earphones produce nothing, unless I rotate the thing connected near the port and sorta lift itI'm not super technical but pleasee help, thank you!!the area near my port is covered with tthis thing, and idk how to remove it or even diagnose the issue bc i dont volume towards my phone either
Probably the wires are broken inside the cable from long use and constant wiggling of the cable around the plug, which is normal. A typical malfunction. The copper wire or wires looses permanent conduction due to mechanical stress, but when you twitch it it may recconect for a while and conduct the signal current to the earphones for the moment. This is the most typical thig if the phones woudn't work with many appliances alike, otherwise it could be some socket thing or output stage in a particular device to blame and not the headphones themselves. This could only be fixed by cutting the cable off a few cms up from the plug and soldering in a new same type plug in place after checking the wiring to the phones with a multimeter. I assume it's a mini jack plug connector TRS or TRRS perhaps. See here for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio) So that's that I'd think. And would be most probably fixable the way I outlined, but it requires some skill.
>>2949439Time for new headphones, the wire is fucked internally. How have you never experienced this problem before?
There are actually a lot of things that can cause this. My iPod has a poor connection because the battery swelled slightly and pushed the contacts apart. Could be dirty contacts or debris inside the port, could be a frayed wire. Try another set of headphones or earbuds in the same port.

They always talk about paint thinner, but what about paint THICCener?If you thinned your paint too much, you royally fucked up.

>>2949852>your responses are so... full of energy surrounding paint drying its incredibleBecause I hate that you exist! This has nothing to do with paint.>i dont really think you paint much or do anythingNo, I haven't worked with paint in years. The only shit I do these days is be a burnt out domestic abuse victim, and wait on people that I have to rely on fuck shit up in the simplest fucking ways. I've been trying to join the military to get away from all this shit, and they told me I can't even do that because of my history unless I get a note from a doctor. So now I have to jump through more fucking hoops and wait even more months living in this decayed hellhole, because it takes so fucking long to see a doctor, because this is the only way anyone is going to listen to me, if I waste my time with this shit that isn't even going to help me just so I can have it on record.In addition, I've been working with idiots who either don't want to claim they fucked up looking at an x-ray and don't want to tell me what I am showing them, or they are just this fucking blind and like to tell people the opposite of what they are asking about. If I say "dark line" do you think I mean "white line"? I can't wait to sue them for malpractice which I probably won't even do, and I especially can't wait for how horribly it will go! :DIf it was possible for me to believe in god, I would say I'm being punished by being surrounded by useless fucking people.
>>2949852>>2949853It doesn't help that my recruiter is being an incompetent fuck, too. He doesn't answer his phone, it took days for him to show his boss the paperwork I sent him (which he never even did when he told me he would, so I had to waltz down to the office to drop off the paperwork, and as soon as I got there they were fucking around with exercise weights like retards. And it figures, as soon as I'm there it takes only 10 minutes). And I had to waste 2 days staying at a hotel (which I found out later I didn't even need to do), and going to MEPS the second day, spending hours there waiting around, and dealing with a bitch of a nurse, only to find out my recruiter neglected to tell me that my physical was cancelled. And above all else, I had to wait a month (which brings us into the present), and I missed my psychiatrist appointment recently because I forgot to set an alarm. The one time I fuck something up, it just HAS to be this! So now I have to wait another month before I can possibly see them. And the only way I can get anyone to say that I am fit to serve, is if I routinely see psychiatrists or therapists which haven't even helped in the past, just so I can have this shit on record, all because I tried feebly committing suicide in the past. How the fuck is anyone supposed to turn their life around!? It's not like I can afford this shit, you think any of this is supposed to help me? It doesn't when they have no authority to change the other people around me, who fuck up even when not in my presence. It's not my fault insurance didn't want to pay for family therapy (which I was the one who wanted it), they couldn't even do the minimum. It's not even just my family fucking up, which I already mentioned earlier. I don't believe in god, I don't believe I am being punished, my life just so happens to be this unusually terrible. Is this what you wanted to know!? Can you make a fucking difference!? Is this how they treat people who wanna be drill sergeants!?
I found these little shits crawling in my bathroom and kitchen. they seem to like the inside of cardboard tubes like in the cling wrap packaging.

How do I kill the little fucks ?
>>2949645I used to have ant problems every summer in Australia. We have dogs so we tend to avoid any harmful chemicals. Bait stations didn't work very well, there was a reduction but they were expensive and never completely solved the problem.The best way we found was to mix up some thick, sticky sugar syrup and leave it near their entry point. Leave them alone and replace it when it dries up. All the sugar will make the ants fat, lazy and sterile, so they will naturally die off. I'm just starting to have them come back again, but it's been about 4 years since I've last done the sugar syrup and I constantly leave attractive things around for them (food scraps, empty Coke and beer cans etc). Your mileage may vary as they are different ants, but well worth a try.
>>2949669Try the terro or raid blue. For me it seems an area will either have ants that like that chocolatey/peanut buttery smelling trap or the terro/clear blue raid. Someone on here or another board said there's some ants that like protein and some that like sugar, I'm assuming those baits are for the sugar ants.Also the drones (winged) ants will ignore everything probably, they're not bitch workers they're there to FUCK
fun fact, ants don't eat the food they find, they can only eat the shit from the grubs back in their hive. They take your poisoned bait back home and feed it to the babies who shit and die, then they eat the poisoned shit and die themselves.
>>2949844But they stand around and feast on sugary foods or fluids.
>>2949851They're not feasting, they're loading up to bring it back like some nasty mama bird.
