Since we got a gardening thread now it seems only right to get ourselves a mushroom thread.https://blogs.cornell.edu/learning/how-to-grow-mushrooms-a-beginners-guide/https://www.almanac.com/plant/mushroomshttps://northspore.com/pages/mushroom-growing-guidesWhat are you growing?What are you trying to grow? How do you avoid contamination?
>>2996188It is a rather open secret that most myco DIY guides are written with an eye for psychedelic shrooms.
>>2996352Well, since we are, I would like to ask a few things. I have absolutely zero knowledge on these things. That being said I live on a farm and see a few growing here and there. (Pic related) I would like to know which ones are good and possibly how to prep them?
>>2995238What do you mean?They're all cut from a live tree split in half during a wind storm. I got them cut up and innoculated 2-3 weeks after the storm.
>>2996462Can't tell if that's the right one, but if it is, just eat it raw. You'll need some 10g wet for a good buzz.
>>2996359Yeah most edible shrooms are either significantly less or significantly more demanding than cubes.Though on that note I'm still not entirely sure why wood loving shrooms didn't take over.The sterility demands of coprophilous fungus are *fucked* all things considered.Meanwhile a shockingly low amount of things can chew on cellulose so pasteurization rather than pressure Sterilisation is more than sufficient.
Worked all winter to heat the house (heat pump) although I was rather expensive, $250 bills vs $60-$70 without it running the last couple months. Anyway, I tried to start it to cool since its raining is very humid and it wouldn't run so...>Inside unit was running, blowing air, sending 24v signal >Confirmed capacitor was good >Confirmed the 240v (Had to replace breaker in main panel, it was kinda working kinda not.)>Fan on outside unit would turn on but not compressor >Replaced contractor even though it seemed good >Fan will run but compressor just hums and tries to trips the breaker >Replace capacitor >Breaker trips immediately So, all I can figure is the compressor is locked down? Worth trying a hard start kit or do I need to look into some window shakers? Or $125 to have a "pro" come out, tell me what I already know and try to sell me a new system.
>>2992977Unless you fucked up the wiring in the contactor or capacitor it sounds like the compressor is seized. You could try a hard start kit but most likely you'll need to change the compressor. Breaker would trip right away if the windings were shorted to ground. If it hums a bit before tripping it's a mechanical failure most likely
>>2992977> $250 bills vs $60-$70are you sure the compressor was running in the winter? if you have emergency heat backup, it might have been locked up all winter and instead running on emergency heat.
>>2993088I could hear it running.
>>2992977hit the fucker with a hammer all over, sometimes it knocks them loose.
Does anybody know which books would be the "bible" for diy or doing HVAC professionally? Thank you for your time.
Moved into a new apartment and the tap water looks like this. How concerned should I be?
>>2994791That's the cola faucet.
Dr. Pepper on tap and you niggas complaining?
>>2994856This, but OP is obviously trolling.
>>2994791Bad news, anon. You've got a Ron Perlman living somewhere in your apartment.
Reminder not to drink from the hot tap
Whatever happened to modular, prefab homes? I live in Connecticut, USA and they're still building shitty McMansions everywhere and gutting/renovating shitty 1950's ranch homes for more than this would cost.
>>2995043They got associated with trailers and "trailer park trash", so the concept is tarnished by people far too concerned about how hypothetical people might think about their housing choice. Not that you save much money going with them these days anyway, between having to buy the land and all the setup costs.
>>2995043>nutmeggerLive semi near Newhaven, what parts you out in?
>>2996181You are the retarded one. Im not saying you cant have sunlight just that you need to go outside for it. Getting rid of windows is a million times more reasonable than getting rid of gas powered vehicles for example.
>>2996172Low IQ moron keep your retarded opinion to yourself
>>2996158my house would be cold and gloomy af with out its big windowy sunroom
Years ago, bought a house with a few acres. One acre was grass, had old, mud filled, busted impact sprinklers. Replaced them all with K-Rain rotors, and never really got even coverage. Brown areas and weird, green circles, despite theoretically good sprinkler coverageThis spring I decided enough was enough, and spent a bunch of money on Rainbird 8000 series rotors. Grass turned green within weeks.You get what you pay for, I guess
>>2995833Hello, fellow Anonymous, I also love my RainBird® 11000 Series Rotors and RainBird® ESP-LXIVM controller with Intuitive Touch Display. Before RainBird® my lawn was literally, figuratively and metaphysically a desert and now my RainBird® powered lawn is literally, figuratively and metaphysically an oasis, it was worth every dollar, and it sure was a lot of dollars!
>>2995840nah all that other shit suckskrain just sucks at rotorstheir controllers might be ok, idkcan't be worse than rainbird
Hunter Industries MP Rotator
Lawns with poor sprinkler coverage can get soil differences which can lead to grass of different varieties growing, so it might be an indirect issue. With sprinkers, heads that are impacted often dump water close to the head if not outright pour water onto the lawn. Which causes the same issue. Often the technician who installed the system did everything right and the owner just never maintained it, so there's often a compelling reason to repair it without actually changing the set-upThe cost of many irrigation supplies is bullshit, they're plastic parts. Many are seriously overpriced. It depends if it's a critical application and if you're able/ committed to maintaining them.
>>2996422Yeah, this is likely a mix of bad maintenance and 30 years of changesI think next year I'll resod the entire acre, get some uniform grass. I already know it's a mix of cool and warm season grass But I will say that the RainBird rotors and RVAN shit are actually greening things up again. Haven't put in hunter MP rotators yet, didn't want something tied to a tool, but might give em a try. I've been staying away from hunter because they look like more expensive krain.
I have a scalpel that I've been using to cut a layer of skin off my foot. I have to be careful because even messing up a little means ghetes a gash on my foot, and they're pretty annoying.
>>2995468did this with a much smaller wart on my foot.cut, glue, go again the next afternoon.Some 15 years or so ago, no issues.
feet thread/d/feet thread/diy/
>>2995559I had a similar deal, with a small but annoying wart on my meaty part of my palm by my thumb. Double-edge razor blade to cut as much of it out as a I could, but I used one of those cans of duster air turned upside-down to freeze the area afterwards and it worked for me. Took a couple tries though.
>>2993809>Nail clippersI used to do this for the callouses on the sides of my big toes. Then I got a nasty paronychia infection. The toes got all swollen and inflamed, oozing blood and pus, and then the nails died, but didn't totally detach on their own. After about 6 rounds of antibiotics, the new nails started growing in under the old ones, which still needed a podiatrist to remove them.If you're gonna slice your own callouses, make sure to disinfect. Bacteria ain't no joke. Pic related, my feet now. The new nail growth is looking fine, but the stuff near the tips is what was growing out initially. It's been about a year since the infection cleared up.

I live in a trailer off grid. I have propane tanks (the standard kind you see at a gas station) and gasoline jerrycans like OP pic.I’m wondering if they are safe from lightning and if not if there are any projects I can do to make them so.
>>2994618nothing is safe from a direct lightning strike.
>>2994629>In the future get some real metal jerrycans instead of those barf-o-matic plastic pressure bottlesI prefer the VP racing cans over any other type of gas can.
>>2994639>except other lighting
Where I live there are strict laws about propane in particular. The most common issue is where there's a structure fire, and the brigade won't go anywhere near it because of the risk of the tank exploding, so someone's RV just burns to the ground. Second biggest issue is with gas leaks, which anywhere people are sleeping can end in tragedy. Because the tank is connected to a flexible hose there's no proper cut-off if there's a leak so the gas can flood an enclosed space. So to comply with regulations i think people typically lay a one meter slab with a tiny shed/cage to store fuels and gas, then have to cook outside. Understandably everyone wants to use propane inside the RV itself, but that's just not safe. Maybe an external water heater, but inside-inside? Blyat tier.Lightning is in many ways the least of your concerns, being both rare, and potencially so destructive that I'm not confident even your earth rod would save you.
I would store it in a wooden shed with good ventilationnot directly next to your trailer
Is basic DIY skills enough to get you a job in facilities maintenance?I am currently a degenerate NEET, but I do enjoy working with my hands but I have absolutely zero education past high school or any job experience. Not sure how competitive the market is for this field, should I try to do a two year community college degree/cert first in some relevant discipline?
>>2995572Yeah.Always remember that when you are writing resumes and cover letters, the purpose of that is to entertain some retarded bitch.
>>2993583because they didn't go to the schoolthey will do most of the basic maintenance but when they encounter a problem beyond their knowledge level and ability they call the professional professionals also do the initial installs which is when developers are expecting to drop a lot of cash so they don't balk at the price, but everyone wants to cheap out on the long term maintenance

Happy Juneteenth! No work today so we get to do side jobs to make up for low gov’t worker pay!All 4 motor mounts were fucked
>>2994328>>2995526Candlestick CA State Park in SF had at least a six-woman Admin, etc, team, including a female Park Range who never left the office, and I'm pretty sure they were all raking in over $100K plus benis....except this one girl that did all the actual work everything from riding the mowers to electrical and plumbing, but she was paid some laughably low "landscape and maintenance" wage like $17/hour....in SF Gay Area!And some of the plumbing and electrical was pretty advanced, not just like basic household stuff but weird industrial govt built park stuff from 50+years ago and irrigation/drainage, etc.
Every day carry? How about home carry? I live in a 4500 sqft hundred year old house. All my tools are in the basement, but I have to work on shit on the other three floors, in the detached garage, and outside. I don't need a grab and go bag; I don't work on anything at my job, and no one is calling me to come over help them fix anything. As much as I try to plan ahead I am always running back to the basement. Of course I am trying to put together a tool box or kit, so I'm here seeing if any anons in similar situations have any suggestions or advice. Get good? Suck it up?
>>2994580I have all my decent tools in nice tool chests in the attached garage.I also have a full tool chest (top and bottom with 9 drawers) inside a spare bedroom, which is where I do electronics and other projects.I keep a whole set of tools in the house toolbox. Its pretty much all the old stuff I bought when I first starting buying tools 20 years. It works when I need them, if not I run all the way to the garage for the better tools.
>>2994580Get a Leatherman.I carry my Skeletool all the time, even at home.Get some work shirts with the breast pocket and buy a pocket protector for pen/pencil/sharpie/boxcutter/pen light etc.If you're just lazy and unorganized, no tool can fix that. What I personally strive for is to be highly organized AND super lazy.
>>2994580Just keep your most commonly used tools in a backpack and always take it with you. Job specific tools and material can easily be carried in your hands since they are free
>>2996250Don't waste money on a bag sold as a tool carrier. They're all overprice, fall apart quickly, and are heavy even when empty. Buy a $40 tactical bag like picrel from Amazon, which is what I use as my handyman bag. Then you can add molle pouches on to it if you need more room.
>>2994580I have a little klein pouch with a couple multibit drivers, some wire stripper needle nose pliers, and then channies and pliers wrench. Add a smaller crescent wrench and it’s handy for a ton of small jobs. I take it with whenever I’m going up a ladder or upstairs just in case.
are any of you guys open to collaborating on an rc car project i am working on, i have the code but no hardware and no way to get it anytime soon so i need a way to show some people that it works, this works if you have an rc car with proximity sensors connected to a raspberry pi, or if your car has a comma panda, i am trying to validate my non neural network deterministic self driving algo so this could be a big deal if it works, i could also help with any software problems you have if you help me with my hardware problems

>>2994375bro, a project like this in their portfolio,for a young person, would basically ensure a nice career in any engineering shop.
>$5,000 for a 100 foot long, 5 foot high chainlink fence>I could do it myself for less than $2000These contractors need price regulation
>>2991072Only 3k labour margin? Your dad unironically got off cheap for European standards, I don't know what to tell you. Here in Serbia we say the contractor builds you a house, and you build him three.
>>2995429I don't need three houses, I'm not a jew
>>2995430The very obvious point of the saying is you pay the contractor enough to build three houses for himself even after paying his wagelaves, that's how expensive construction is here. My aunt paid half a month's salary to have a wooden cabinet installed in the kitchen after a while of searching for someone who would do it, although it's obviously on her for not doing it herself, but still. Everyone talks about brain drain in turd world shitholes but what about trade drain? Any type of infrastructure you can't maintain strictly by yourself is just fucking gone in this country. I expect my children to have to grow up with South Africa/Porkistan tier loadshedding, that's why I plan to put solar on my village house when I move back in there, unless they seize it to have some megacorp open a lithium mine on the land. That's pretty much the absolute state of the Balkans in the big '26.

The guy who did the tile baseboard at my mom's house fucked up and now I can't close these sliding doors all the way. Should I cut the door corner to match the trim or try to create a slot for the doors in the baseboard?
>>2995391have ur mommy whip ya up a plate of tendies to put ur mind at ease while she calls the guy that did the job and tells him to come fix his fuckup
>>2995391Can't you foam tape it (ie one of those door sealer softener things)

When I was 16 I tried to shell swap a New 3DS XL with no prior experience tinkering with consoles, and fucked it up really bad. So for the past 2 years it’s been sitting in a plastic box while I wait to find somebody competent who can fix it, anyways I’ve been using another one since then and was wondering if there are any strange projects that could be done with the old one (besides growing a pair and fixing it myself). Any suggestions?
>>2996187All my boards and printers are old and diy’ed so I’ll defer to the chatbot I guess. Only other thing I’d try off the top of my head is to stick a multimeter on the touch and make sure it’s actually working. Have you tried it with Marlin?
>>2996191with marlin it works fine.
i am such a retard. this isn't the 3dpg thread.
>>2996200After cooking enough of my own hardware over the years personally I’d try and exhaust any firmware options before making hardware/wiring changes. I’m just one retard however, better to consult the general for the consensus.With regards to the actual thread, I have no ideas OP. Sorry.
>>2990609Idk what you broke (was it a ribbon cable or something?), you should absolutely fix it. I recently did a top screen swap on my gf's new 3ds xl top screen, which had been shattered. This was the absolute cream-of-the-crop no bullshit best guide I was able to find for the console: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xo-MjlE3PcAGood luck to you on doing the shell swap. And whatever you broke, you can most likely order a replacement part off ebay. Make sure that the listing description specifies that it is meant for the *New* 3ds XL and not the old one. Go Slow As Hell. Do not use excess force. If you find yourself getting even FAINTLY frustrated with the process at any point, put down the project and walk it off. You must stay steady and calm and keep a clear head, or else you WILL break something.
