Is there ever a good reason to buy a cordless circular saw over a corded one? The batteries die in like 2 hours if you're actually using it
>>2946665>but it'd be hard to justify the extra cost.There isn't really an extra cost if you're already on the battery platform, though. A cordless saw on its own costs about the same as an equivalent quality corded one. That's even more of a thing if you can wait for sales and get one for free with another tool you need or with a battery or whatever.
>>2946846most framing will be what? cutting top plates which might be dozen cuts after a day of framing a 2brd apts unit.I got an 18v Milwaukee with big batt and its much more handy than big Skill Saw and weak enough to not kickback so can be used for more squirrely cuts.Some billionaire we was working for had a hobby shop with 40 extra batts and 20 chargers and plumber was like "ain't that a bit much?" and I'm like naw, seems about right. Small duffle's worth and you could figure on a weekend off site.

Absolutely NOT a "tech guy". 45y/o tradeworker, left off at DOS & Qbasic in '93. Found some 2016 tech during eviction remodel: 2016 Galaxy Tab-A and 2016 HP Stream 11. Do not be fooled; all the "tekkie lingo", specs and processes I will be citing are new to me, learned over the course of these projects. I knew absolutely fuck-all about it before I started.SM-T580 tablet has 2gb ram. when found, it was running Android Oreo. slow as shit and no storage space for anything. I could surf the web and shitpost on Chan, but had no space for memes, Pepes and/or videos. did lots of research and relied on Grok for a fair amount of process. that said, NOTHING was easy aboot this... for me. I found the tablet and craptop last December. tablet has been in a bedside table since it had no storage and was too slow to be of practical use. I will try to outline the entire 2 day ordeal (15 fucking hours) as succinct and condensed as possible. I found a 32GB micro SDHC card while tearing oot the carpet & padding in a remodel. my first thought was "COOL! I can double the eMMC storage on my Linux Stream Craptop!" however, after a quick discussion with Grok, I decided my first use of it would be to flash a new OS onto the Samsung Tablet. did a little research into available OS options and learned aboot the basic hardware/software that operates little phones, tablets, etc. quite different from "regular" computers, it turns oot. Decided on "LineageOS" for what is essentially a clone of Android 13 but with full current patch and security support. I found the Lineage file on some website, perhaps Github, unsure exactly where. I was also told that I needed to I stall "MindTheGapps" to access Google app store and run anything other than basic web browser on it. I started my questionable journey at 8:00 Saturday morning. I wrote the aforementioned files onto SD then connected tablet to craptop via USB data cable, which I used to install something called TWRP by "TeamWin".

>>2948659moto g stylus(2022) has an official lineage os port but specs are a bit dated compared to your note 20.samsung's S24 ultra has unofficial custom rom support(certain features in the roms don't work, check out it's XDA page)if you can ditch the stylus requirement then google's pixel line has hands down the best custom rom support overall.>other custom roms beside lineage oswhile lineage is the most popular custom rom project, there are many like crdroid, evolutionX, pixel experience etc.security focused roms: /e/ os, graphene os, calyx os.Checkout the device compatibility page of any of the custom rom project you are interested in, and buy one of the devices listed on there.
>>2948650>>2947682google is actually actively trying to kill custom roms payment apps don't work and lot of normie apps need integrity checks only scenario in which a custom rom seems useful is if you want to root the thing and use it for some special purpose like a security wildlife cam or whatever but even then an open platform is much better >use it for a decadei've been using mine for 9 years now and still changing it feels like a hassle
>>2949126i prefer custom roms(lineage) bc of battery life.>banking apps wont workthis is not usually the case. ive had some success there, mostly by doing some retarded cargo cult shit. the same goes for "integrity checks"Most of my stock phones had some sort of weird behavior , glitches here and there, they get hot at night or at some weird moments, battery is shit. Lineage has been more stable than default os on various phones ive had, mostly xiaomi and google.

Hi, I'm a beginner and was good at woodworking in school, but unfortunately moved to a school without a shop when I was 15. Since then I have been pretty crafty and built and made all sorts of things, but never had the space for a shop....until now! While I'm still pretty limited in terms of budget, I have a nice space and some tools. Main ones being circular saw and a drill. I can afford to buy some more hand tools but not a table saw quite yet. I want to eventually build some furniture (like picrel, it's made from acacia wdyt?), but first I suppose I need to build a workbench. Any ideas on what someone in my situation could build?
>>2948061it is real. I haven't fastened the plywood onto it yet. will do so tomorrow
>>2945988join a makerspaceyou meet lots of awesome ppl with good ideas and projectsjoined one and turns out they have a luthier (guitar builder) meetup, which was awesome to discover. Learned 3D design (useful for 3D printing or CNC machining -- i.e. carving wood with a CNC router, for high precision) and met a lot of smart, crafty ppl
>>2948079That's awesome. Where are you? I'm actually going to be joining a woodturning group next month.

>>2948041How well has it been serving your needs? Would you have built it differently knowing what you know now?
What do you do with cubby holes behind the chimney like this? Put a 20cm IKEA shelf for CDs in it? A lamp? Junk? Some electronics? It feels like an unusable dead space that just accumulates dust and spider nests over the years.
>>2947114Could get a pretty nice fold out bed in there if you have guests often
>>2947167>safe in the most obvious hiding spot everIf you did it right you could make it look like that little cubby doesn't even exist. Not like some thief is going to go around measuring your chimney width outside then come inside to measure and verify that it is fully in the corner of the room and there isn't some hidden area there... In fact I'm pretty amazed that it wasn't just walled off during construction to eliminate are that little cubby anyways.
Finish the wall make it flush with other one. Or shelves. Make a secret door put your mistress in there. Put a plant in front of the door. Hide some weed in there. Etc
>>2949341I'm not sure that it's right to morally condone having a mistress or illegal drug use anon.

Any tips on carb tuning without a tach? I have an 026 and a 440 that are new to me. I use a 550 Mk2 and a 462 at work and even going back a few years I've not had to deal with anything that wasn't some kind out auto-tune, except an 880 but and old timer looks after that one.

A few weeks ago at work, I saw a maintenance guy using a slide hammer to *install* something. I've only ever seen them used for disassembly.
I reopened an old bucket of paint to redo some parts of the house. Is not white, but a very specific grey color. The type of paint is what we call 'calce'. Some calcium formula with pigments and water.Unfortunately the paint stinks like sewer, but after making a test the paint is still perfectly good.What is the cause of the smell? How can i get rid of it so i can reuse the paint without the bad smell?
>>2945967Did you forget to stir thoroughly?
bacteria growing in the water based paint. Paints that are low VOC and water based can grow bateria over time, especially if they've been opened.
>>2948903I've seen them grown mold, and little clumps of bacteria.
>>2945967>What is the cause of the smell? How can i get rid of it so i can reuse the paint without the bad smell?it's something in the new acrylic paints. we had the same thing happen with stuff called Insox Cabinet Coat which is a water based urethane. painter opened up a 3 month old 5 gallon container and the whole jobsite smelled like piss. still probably less toxic than oil based so w/e.
>>2949157We've even had algae start growing in them, that was fun to figure out...
The absolute state of truck tool brands. German tool supremacy is a case study and also bepis and his Wera(Czech made) hate btfo.
What even is the point of a 1/2"->3/8" reducer. Most 3/8 sets i see start at 6mm and most 1/2 sets I see start at 10mm so there's only 3 sizes not in that overlap (9mm doesn't exist) and all 3 of those sizes are so small you'd either round them over or twist the head off just laying into it with a 3/8 ratchet, nevermind using an adapter to get big boy ratchet on it.
>>2949065for me its laziness, if the adapter and 3/8 socket is closer to my hands than a 1/2 socket then away we go
>>2949065if you're a Johnny-DIY poorfag that can't justify buying full sets with 75% overlap, which was me 12 years ago, adapters make a lot of sense. My only socket set was a mixed 1/4 & 3/8 set with a single 3/8 ratchet and adapters that only went up to 19mm. I couldn't justify a full 1/2 set so I bought a rail of impact sockets from walmart that covered 17mm to 24mm. I didn't even own a 1/2 ratchet or impact, just had a breaker bar, and I was afraid of breaking my only ratchet so I'd often use a reducer on the breaker bar to crack tough bolts on my truck.
>>2949039>I'd rather support a marketing campaign and pay more money than for a functioning alternative>I'm proud to be brainwashedIt's like the big "manly" men who where football jerseys with another man's name pasted on it. Imagine wearing shirts with names of other men, written in all caps nonetheless. I won't even mention what their disgusting man-haircut wives typically look like kek
>>2949039Holy cope.
who invent this gay shit?
>>2945544CCA > Pure alu. CCA works with copper terminals and crimps. Pure alu corrodes to shit in contact with copper.
>>2945544>who invent this gay shit?Ea-Nasir
>>2945942There are a bunch of AD's on aircraft that unfortunately had this CCA shit installed when they were built. It either develops cracks and you lose your electrical system (usually the starter is the first to go) or it decides to catch fire where it cracks.

How the fuck nobody is talking about rivets and sheet metal for repairing shit? Vacuum cleaner broke, fitting clip broke, and I repaired shit in 1 hour. With rivets and random piece of fucking galvanized. Just a reminder that pop rivets exist and they should be used more.
>>2948844Hell yesAnd you know the 6mm stainless fuckers? They are madly strong. There is even the gasproof ones.Luv me poprivets, i even have a IR pneumatic riveter, it has a very nice feel and sound to it.
>>2948844>How the fuck nobody is talking about rivets and sheet metal for repairing shit?About 17 years ago, I replaced the entire front radiator support with pop rivets. My father and I drilled out all the spot welds and used an industrial pop riveter to attach the new one. He brought one of the pneumatic ones to the house from the Class 8 truck assembly plant. I drove that car for 7 more years with no problems.
rivets are greatbody panel repair and rust repair on cars is best done with paintable silicone or epoxy and rivets combined with whatever sheet metal you are blasting over it. Everyone has a boner for welding in a new panel, no one has any idea how ugly that ends up. tin boats too are aluminumno one over 40 appears to understand how much of a bitch aluminum is, aluminum rivets are one of the best types of fasteners that dont corrode each other on boatsclean fixes on stainless steel restaurant equipment too

How do I fix this? I want my deposit back
>>2948908Lol, in college I moved into a place and there were multiple bugs in the paint liege your picture. They dgaf. The apartment wasn't terrible though, but some repair guys stole my roommates wallet one time.
>>2948139>I want my deposit backThe way to do this is from a rentoid pov is not to pay the last few months rent equaling your deposit amount - more often than not they just let it go since suing you is not worth the hassle
>>2948925You should show more gratitude, without landlords you'd be homeless.

WTF is all this mess?https://www.unitec.ac.nz/career-and-study-options/building-and-carpentry/new-zealand-certificate-in-carpentryIf I'm a recently retired but still under 65yrs old Union carpenter from USA who even completed the 4yr Apprenticeship, would that count for being a "Skilled Worker" in NZ, for immigration?I see all this silly nonsense about "Skilled Workers" like dog groomer and "cooks" (not even "chef") but don't see any portal for how to become rated as such without being in country for like 4yrs. Catch-22.

The AFCI breakers in my new house get trigger happy whenever the humidity climbs above 60% outside. Unfortunately, I live in the mid-south, so this happens a lot. Is it possible that they're detecting a genuine "could start a fire" problem? What's the risk in putting GFCI breakers in instead?I don't know that I don't have a staple in my Romex anywhere, but this happens on multiple circuits with multiple appliances. Recently I got 1.5 inches of rain, and I came home to find every AFCI in the panel tripped. As such, either there are workmanship errors in the entire house (I've been in the switch panels, they all look neat), or there's an issue on the service side.I know it's not an overload fault, I measured.
Swap them out. I've heard nothing but people bitching about those stupid arc fault circuit breakers.
AFCIs trip if someone sneezes in the house.They always nuisance trip and the general process is that shit gets swapped out for regular breakers after inspection passes.
I need to move this massive wooden planter, but it's only raised by 2cm off the ground. What can I use to move it?
