>>2963607RV without a working engine means no heating, cooling or recharging the batteryso you would have to work around those issues RV also means no insulation so when you do have a heating/cooling set up it'll take more energy maintain a tempcould still be a cheaper option but it needs to be considered

>>2956070i really don't understand this trend. i build houses and am a pretty good carpenter, i built my uncle a 26x28' pole barn for $8k in materials. that doesn't include doors and windows, but for $20k in materials you could have a 625 sqft house instead of whatever the fuck these tiny homes are. that's a 25x25 square, two 12.5x12.5 bedrooms, a 5x12.5 bath with a wardrobe in it, and then a 12.5x20 living room kitchen combo. if you are ambitious you can do a 6/12 or higher pitch roof and have a loft for either an office or a third bedroom.
>>2964095Some places it would cost 20K just in permits and inspections before you even buy materials.

So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.I will post our progress in this thread.
I've finished all the graphical primitives, sprites and friend has finished text related functions. Which means all the graphical API got finished(except for one function). That is not all of the graphics related functionality though, there is still bunch of registers that can alter how things are drawn, but they can wait for later.With majority of pico8 api implemented I can start running games. Friend's game worked on first try and so does all the carts I wrote so far. However only in the emulator. If I try to run anything but basic carts on the esp I quickly run out of stack or heap or both. This calls for refactor and optimizations, and that's what I will focus on right now.>>2959096>>2959100Thanks. I will try to do something similar to include d-pad in final version too. It will be much better suited for pico8 games than an analog.
>>2961131lol rust
>>2961139Can't blame them, it's easier
Well, we got a problem. While I took some time to clean things up, refactor the code and fix some things that never worked before(eg backtraces) I figured out that the crashes I was getting on the real hardware were caused by strange psram corruption. Eventually I realised I configured it wrong, but even after changing it from quad to octal(which fixed size detection which was broken) more and more weird things started happening. Sometimes the probe couldn't connect to the board, even if I managed to flash it 90% of time it just gets stuck in rom bootloader, sometimes it just seemingly halts when I try to add the memory region to its dedicated allocator. I am suspecting some hardware issue since I did run it wrongly configured for a good while and fucked up connecting it some time ago drawing too much power through gpio. But I also don't see why would it manifest like that, it might as well be problem with probe software or compiler miscompilation or something with my code or even usb port. Either way I ordered another dev kit and will have to test various set ups in both Rust and maybe C++-IDF and try to nail down the actual cause.
>>2964080>Well, we got a problem.I think you need more breadboards and longer wires.
how do i get catfaggot smell out of my machine at work
Also are you sharing this loader with aforementioned catfaggot, or is he a previous occupant of the loader and you want to erase all history of him ever being there? If he is no longer going to be in the cab a good deep cleaning may be in order to remove all traces.
>>2962615>catfaggotis that someone who owns felines or someone who is a brand loyalist to Cat?
>>2963009>someone who is a brand loyalist to Cat?I wouldn't call myself a brand loyalist, but Cat makes some good shit. Their old stuff at least. I love this damn 920 like you wouldn't believe. Have a 613B scraper I need to get up and running again to do some dirt work projects, building levees and roads, and to help leveling off some fields. Recently picked up a 955L track loader that needs work for cheap. Parts may not be cheap, but they're always available.
>>2963749cute lil guy
>>2963960It's handier than a shirt on a pocket... Small enough to get into tight places and big enough to still throw it's weight around. I have some Michigan 35aws loaders that are even more nimble. They're like the fuckin' hotrods of the loader world when they have a well running 3-53 detroit screaming.
I want to upgrade my panel from 125 amps to 200 amps.We got a heat pump and the electricians connecting it knew I wanted a wood shop and they said that with their load calculations they said there was 93 of 125 accounted for.However when they got the panel off the eight blank circuits that I thought were there are just unfilled parts of the panel and there's no where to put them in behind so the whole panel needs upgrading.After working on my mom's house in my own house before I'm going to go for a Square D panel and breakers for a cohesive lookThe company doing the electrical work on the heat pump knew I wanted a woodworking shop and said that the service conductor is fine and the pole has enough capacity at the Transformer to make that change.So, I have to probably replace the conductor in the Mast down to the electrical panel through the meter, I have to do a new bit of construction for the new meter complete with larger capacity, and probably have to upgrade a ground rod for the larger panel. Have I missed anything?
Bump.Opie here, I've done a lot of electrical work, mostly smaller things don't like adding 220 outlets and running wire, digging in electrical services for the electrical company and being one of their grunts.
>>2961587Leave existing panel alone.Replace mast conductors and meter base with 200A unit with breakers. Feed existing panel from this. Install new shop panel from meter base panel.IMO, electricians should have offered this option when they did heat pump and you asked for future capacity.
>>2961587Sparky here: this plan will work, but beware of the coordination and effort involved-fuck up replacing the mast and you may be without power for some time if you can't finish the job/pass inspection the first day. It all depends on what your local utility is like. Even for pros this type of job can sometimes a full day for a crew of 2 if you run into something.If your wood shop is a detached building and you have the money, it may be worth considering having a separate mast and meter installed just for the shop. This is probably not economical unless you have massive amounts of equipment.>>2961787This isnt a bad idea, but you do want to replace the panel in your pic no matter what, as that brand, Federal Pacific, is notorious for causing fires.
>>2961795Yeah I like the Square D breakers I've never had a problem with them. The guys doing the replacement on here had to dig up an old breaker that would work in this old panel as they couldn't get any brand new ones for this type of panel.I do have a separate building on the property but it had electrical service delivered from a wire just buried a few inches under the ground that is not rated for that so I got rid of that entirely.There is also a separate building on the property called the park model with an attached garage. The park model is sort of a glorified trailer but it isn't rated for habitation year-rounded mostly used by Farm Workers doing the busy season. I don't want to put my woodworking shop over there as I might want to add a welder and an outlet over there so I can do that kind of stuff there
>>2961587I had a pole placed with an outdoor service panel and outdoor 240 and 120v outlets before erecting my shop. I gave that a subpanel later but immediate power beats the shit out of a service replacement there was no reason to do. The bill is trivial and having a full service lets me run whatever I want including welders and compressors. Zero disturbance to my home and not having to trench etc from my home service saved me a shitload of work for less return. Even if my service had capacity the work to connect a portion of that to my shop would have been more hassle than a fresh service. A major shop service bonus can be no total power interruption while OP upgrades the home panel. >>2961963>I might want to add a welder and an outlet over there so I can do that kind of stuff thereYou can also have an outdoor welder outlet anywhere you have a service so I do. I have a home service, another home service to my secondary house so I could rent it out, and of course the mentioned workshop service. For outdoor welding and (mechanical) cutting/grinding I use SOOW cable extension cords. That plus the dispersion of my outlets gives me considerable range when working on vehicles, trailers etc.
What do you guys wear to work?For me it's blue jeans and a vent back fishing shirt. Black leather jacket if it's really cold or raining.
>>2963818i hate denim jeans with a passion, i only wear work pants like these or outdoors hiking pants. jeans just... suck? i wear my work pants almost 24/7.https://www.jula.no/catalog/klar-og-verneutstyr/herreklar/arbeidsklar/bukser/arbeidsbukse-030178/
>>2963932I gave up on jeans when I realized I could just wear work pants everywhere and not care about looking like an HVAC tech. The incresed range of movement and storage capacity is well worth it.

A few days ago i started hearing like a scratching noise just above the ceiling. Its made with drywall just like pricrel and there are like 8 inches of fiberglass blown in insulation. This is a single home, there is nothing up there that could make that noise.Idk what the fuck is that thing or how it got there, that space is literally a closed brick and cement box.How do you deal with a problem like this? Poison? Hacking a hole and try to let out whatever the fuck that is?
>>2963108a mouse or rat can fit through a hole the size of its head not a pencil.
>>2963116>inspection cameras have terrible field and depth of viewthis. you OP is wasting his time. if there is insulation it the walls or roof you won't see anything.
>>2963464You're still gay. You sound like you put the mice in the sandwich bag and jam it up your ass with your gay peanut butter.
>>2963510>>2963510No I do it straightly when I jam up my rotted wretched hole. No condom bag either. My peanut butter is also straight. /diy'd/ with free peanuts scavenged from the roadhouse grill that I convince a tinder girl to take me on a date to. Then I have her drive me back to my fucked up mouse infested barn and have her watch me cutely use my sweet little peanut butter piping bags like I use when I make cute little straight diy cakes then I tell her to fuck off and go and kiss my gay bitch wife goodnight and go and slide rotting crushed mouse skulls into my putrid (but straight) hole.Thanks.

I have no fence on the yard border with my neighbour. It's 25m long, flat soil line where I would put a 1.8-2m tall fence. I want full privacy protection for a budget price (I don't live there). I would also like something I can diy as a non-diy guy (I work with electronics but no building experience). The cheapest option here is Europe is the thick wire panel fence, but I havent seen a way yet to make those completely private. I would dig holes and pour concrete into them to stabilize posts, as building a wall base is more expensive than the fence. What do? How difficult is pic related and what post distance for a windy area?
>>2963311You can buy prefabricated fence - segments come in 2.5m lenght. The posts need to be anchored into concrete and i'm guessing you don't want to spend money or time pouring a footing , so you would need to either pour small concrete blocks yourself, or buy bricks,fillem up with cement and burry them.
>>2963311Just get that thick, textured, coloured plastic slat fence stuff that slides into slotted concrete uprights. Doesn't cost that much and lasts for decades. Withstands wind. Worked for us, although we paid someone else to do it because that'd take me too long and its really a two man job.
>>2963311Why do you think that's the cheapest option? Like another Anon said, plant a bunch of tall bush treesOr build a fence out of limbs from a nearby forest (hopefully with permission)
>>2963434Maximum post spacing for something like that at that height is 8ft (2.4m)OC for that kind of fenceNote that you need to account for equal spacing so you don't have an awkward ass short panel at the end. If you have a 25m run, you need (11) line posts spaced at 7.5ft (2.28m) OC PLUS (2) end posts

A place for anything to do with Welding.Post your MIG/TIG/Stick/Fluxed Cored Arc welds, ask questions and discuss sticking metals together.Previous: >>2894379
>>2963561>>2963570>welding robotsI didn't know /r9k/ has a significant number of welders.
>>2963561Also a ton of one-off or small batch custom fab jobs where it'd take more time and money to program a robot then to just have a welder do it.
>>2963570exactly and they are the ones saying welding will be done by robots because they got no clue what welding is.its kinda pathetic, you can hand them a broken steel shaft and a stick bzzz box and they wont know what to make out of it, but they expect ai and robots to fix it in the future.i know that automated welding is a thing and most mass produced consumer products thats been welded at has never seen a human hand.
The most verstatile and quick-to-program welding robots I've personally seen were so called "co-bots" you could teach by physically grabbing the robot arm and positioning it at the start and finish points, angles, etc. Fine tuning and adjustments were possible in the software/pendant/ipad/whatever. Even those systems are designed for batch runs/more than 1 of the same job. Welding robots are not the be all and end all of the future.
>>2963705>>2963661The core issue of welding robots is just that they can't see what they're welding and can't adjust. Its the same reason there's very few remote welding rigs and that's far less complicated. And that's just for the actual welding part. It also has to know how to use dozens of various tools like angle grinders and know how to use different wire wheels without exploding them or destroying the work piece. It has to know how to use various kinds of clamps and know which to pick depending on circumstance. it has to know when to use various kinds of cutting tool like hacksaws, plasma torches, acetelyne torches. It has to know how to preheat things properly. It just goes on like this. Endless little trivial sounding tasks that a human just learns in maybe a day or so of training while gaining skill over time. Just making the AI itself using things like machine learning would require countless hours of real world data and massive amounts of training. Then you have to make a machine body somehow perform the tasks and somehow make it not kill itself just from becoming a conductor of the welding current or not be destroyed by the dust and fumes, or just tangle itself in the cables or losing control of power tools. And so on. We're like 25-50 years away from this shit if it ever happens and the robots will just have to be advanced they'll be doing basically every single job anyway so who gives a shit about welding specifically. Drivers won't be safe, gardeners won't be safe, mailmen won't be safe, prostitutes won't be safe.
explain Septic System to me like I'm a bitch.Shouldn't there be an "Oh fuck" overflow outlet, like before even the first tank, so it can never back up into the house? I've heard of Septics overflowing into house. Is that illegal because your System has to work so you don't spread shit, so having it "sealed" is the way you are forced to have a valid system?I'm thinking if I got a place out in the sticks I'd want to add an RV hook up out from under the house, and I guess I could also add an extra Y so I could connect a hose which could lead to an emergency over-flow gravity fed line.WTF happens if your System is OK, but suddenly under fairly sustained excessive use? Will it most likely drain OK, but "water" not treated and live turd germs into Leach Field, and how bad is that and do people get in trouble for it? Does it start showing up in your neighbors well water and you get sued and a shitty rep?Seems like any well designed system would include that, and into a normally dry pond or covered hole or French Drain or something.I also saw diagram of a "solid state" dosing system that somehow worked without any pumps. IIRC it had a float and valve on a hinge on an angled arm so the valve would stay closed until "water" level well above it, then would open and drop level to well below float level. Seems simple and fool proof. WTF with pump systems. Seems like opening a big valve would be better than some little pump (that will be not just going on fritz but in the shit).
>>2963757I know that. Nevertheless, there is often destilaltion involved making clean rainwater that maintains the water table with clean water.
>>2963670>Point being you can't really overload a properly designed system>>2963739>leach test to properly determine the size of the drain field to spread out the wastewater to ensure it slow migrates downward and does not just dump into the groundwater so the microbes have time to act on it.So I'm thinking the farther apart the Leach is from the nearest Well the more you can "over-load" the system like if you gotta lotta guests for a couple weeks.Butt(pardon pun) WTF happens when a 'hood of Hicks of double-wide trailers on 1/2 acre plots with wells all get packed with 3x as many Hicks (or "migrants") as Septic was specced for "number of bedrooms"?Does everyone start getting sick and County Health issues a "Boil Water" notice, till further notice, but how does that typically sort out? Got any "case studies"? Does County Health issue Orders about "Get a new approved Septic (for about $30K) or else", and does "or else" mean Red Tagging the trailers?Does this show up in News anywhere and WTF is process even called?
>>2963812>Hicks (or "migrants")They refuse to comply. >They brandish guns.Resolved by sheriff.>They don't brandish.Resolved by lawsuit against the property owner.
>>2963812>farther apart the Leach is from the nearest WellIt depends. First the spetic system should be sized correctly. Second you need to know the details of your water well. If it is screened deep enough and far enough away and the transmissivity high enough it will not be an issue. The potential issue is the well is screened across the aquifer and is too close and you dump too much waste and pull too much water you can pull the contaminated water into your well. When you pump the well you change gradient aroud the well and the more you pump the more you change the gradient. So more people than usual = more water pumping and more pissing, showers, dishwasing and washing macine use = more waste water. I worked at a place and this kind lady called saying her family was on a well for a long time, but for some reason it dried up....only about a week after the county connected their home to the public sewer system. Hmmmmmmm
>>2963887>The potential issue is the well is screened across the aquifersorry I meant to write "...screened across the water table..."

my knees feel like absolute trash from doing work, walking and standing on concrete will some expensive shoes help and which ones?
There is something wrong with the fundamentals if walking and standing causes you pain.Poor posture (not just in regards to spine), weak feet (be as close to barefoot as you can as often as you can to help remedy this), maybe poor diet.You can go doen the rabbit hole of specialty gear to correct for your deficiencies, or you can work on fixing your deficiencies.
just get inserts and make sure they work well with your arch. also make sure to replace those inserts when the foam compresses fully. foam cushioning (whether it be midsoles or insoles) will almost always wear out before the rest of the shoe/boot and its cheaper to buy new insoles every 4-6 months than new shoes
>>2960241Eat more fat, buy insoles and stretch touching your toes 20 minutes before bed every night
>>2960241how long days? 8h with a lunch break or 3 you should be able to take it, 12h non stop thats just your body saying nooo let me rest. it can still be done and you get used to it, shoes and that makes little difference for knees. if you are fresh in the game it does take a few years to harden up but also along the ride you learn that every sturdy object at the right height is a chair so you sit down if so for just 30 seconds every time you can.and lastly, how do you walk? do you stomp or float? stompers wear out their joints much faster than floaters. when you put your weight on the leading foot it shouldnt be a *stomp* but a floating motion. if you ever lived with a stomper you know these are the people who sound like an elephant when walking on the second floor. they stomp all their body weight on the heel of the leading foot for every step and it ruins their joints.

I keep buying camera lenses and it has gotten to the point I actually need a way to store them.All the commercial shit is soft cases or pelican cases, I just want to be able to store them in a small tote without them smashing into each other, I don't need to throw it out of a plane. Soft cases can work but if they are small enough they can slip between the dividers so it doesn't solve the problem. I was thinking maybe like an ornament box, but the dividers look cardboard and would need to be like twice as deep for longer lenses. Any ideas?I was thinking take 2 liter bottles and cut the tops off and try and pack as many in a tote or box to keep the bottles in place from moving around.
>>2963254I just had that idea last night while trying to put them away temporarily, if only underwear worked since I have too many pairs to wear them out.>>2963187I originally was thinking of PVC but didn't want to deal with cutting them up and prepping them. The cardboard does sound like a better idea.
>>2963275all for diy ing this if you have materials lying around but if you plan on buying materials then consider just getting a tote for glasswear
>>2963524That's good, I'll look for a coffee mug size one. I'm not so committed to autism like some that I have to build everything, but in this case I just couldn't think of something off the top of my head that would fit. Though it's obvious in retrospect like if you show someone you can use a .22 ammo case for storing 1/4 bits.
I am developing the same issue. I was thinking of using this site (https://www.tooltrace.ai/) and then cutting some foam on my cheap CNC machine. I was also thinking of using some of those under bed storage bins and organizing everything by mount type. My logic for using this setup is that it would allow me to store shorter lenses vertically and macros, telephotos & zooms horizontally, while also having slots for the cameras & accessories plus another one that's for one of those damprid things to manage humidity.
>>2962690I used to be a professional photographer, huge piles of gear, 35 mm medium format and a view camera.I got one of those zero heldbron cases to store big pile of it when I'm not using it but I don't travel or work out of it because it's just a thief magnet. I also used to have a piece of custom leather caseware from some famous European maker but I ended up selling it cuz I didn't use it as much as I thought it would
Chat I want to build a high pressure high temperature water sprayer to use for washing dishes in a way that uses as little water as possible.I have a cabin in the woods which has no sink or plumbing etc so I just haul in water and for a while I just use paper plates and stuff but generating so much trash is retarded.Does it sound like the best way? Like a 7 holed spray nozzle at 150psi and 70c water temp or so is what I was thinking, around the 6L/m mark but if only need a few seconds to spray off the debris and then scrub it and spray another couple seconds idk. Does that sound reasonable? For the hot water I was thinking about building my own instant hot water heating system or just buying one. Also how can I store some water without it going bad?
>>2953706>instant water heaters are terriblewhy?
Just let the food dry on the paper plates and burn them in your firepit you sperg. You're staying at a cabin in the woods don't even try to pretend you don't have a firepit, THAT would be retarded.
>>2963566You can even get wood utensils. I don't really camp but I keep a supply of those and paper plates/bowls.They're just handy to have beyond just dish convenience.

Is it possible to modify a bikini so it falls off after the wearer wears it underwater for a few minutes or so? There's a lot of YouTube videos of people pranking each other by giving them a "dissolving bikini" and then laughing when it falls off in the water but most/all of them are fake and the bikini doesn't actually fall off. I could only find one dissolving swimsuit for sale online, it's a one piece and the reviews are somewhat mixed reviewers say you must size up, Fabric did rip a little (before it was wet?), No bra padding, making it obvious it’s fake, Threads holding it together dissolve, not the whole thing. Still fun, even tho my wife was 99% sure what was going on…especially after we had to stretch it hard to get it on, but even after 10 min swimming in the lake only the sides had partly split, advertised.....Less than a minute in the water and the seams came apart. https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Swimsuit-Girlfriend-Bachelor-Swimming/dp/B0CR5HC6YHThere's a YouTube video by howcast about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0esyopY_Q with ten million views that states you should just take a regular bikini or one piece and remove all stitching and replace it with "water soluble stitching" and says it works fine in a sowing machine.What kind of water soluble stitching should you use specifically? What kind of bikinis or one pieces will fall apart best without stitching? Ideally it should match the color of the original stitching, dissolve quickly and uniformly and should not rip prior to being worn in the water the stitching ripping when the bikini or one piece is pulled onto the wearer before going in water.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VBq5W1wCRj8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=asg3hoJPYH4Video review of that swimsuit from AmazonHe recommends a type of thread in the description and says he colored over it with a marker so it blended inhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8tk0uLX2g
