I've been having multiple mental breakdowns in the past two years and I'm moving out of my apartment next week. What can I do to get my deposit returned at this point? I fixed the holes in the wall but I feel it still looks a little "off"
>>2783915Damn bro I just wanna leave a suggestion here man.
>>2780328Bingo.
>>2781198>mental illnesses should be treated before going out of hand by punching holes in the walls>mentally ill people should have no problem seeing their mental illness and making appropriate decisions with a mentally ill mind >you clearly aren’t able to post clearly and have life difficulties because you have schizophrenia which I’m inferring is a deficiency that causes you to struggle with normal life>but mental illnesses don’t cause people to struggle making rational decisions >but they do if I can turn that into an insultLmao what a retard you are. Or my maybe like I said originally, your post could have just been a symptom of your own mental illness/retardation. Almost guaranteed you make a comment about post length where before you made a comment about not having things explained concisely because it’s clear you’re a massive faggot.

Something like pic related, but with more modern things like ESP32, LoRa, etcProjects for things that can work in situations as simple as the power grid being off for some days, or mesh networking a farm, to the end of civilization.
There is nothing related to survival based on that. Are you high? Maybe a door shotgun trigger.I mentioned using an electric shock instead of primer for gun and what did i get? a ban.

>>2784213>Ventilated facades are very metrosexual, they have a huge bugman aestheticKek, I gotta agree with that. Ugly shit.>and I've never seen them on single family homes, I have on two or more like one and a half, since that's an old duplex and one half got a tumor added onto the back of it. Rare as fuck overall.>This kinda sucks because for all you know it could be the wood glue in your neighbour's shitty furnitureI would more say it was our shitty furniture. We had a lot of the original garbage that was falling apart.>and you're suffering collateral damage as a result of that.I was suffering collateral used qtips falling through the ceiling from the dude upstairs because the holes in the slab around the radiator pipes were "30 and ready to settle down" y'know. Wild building, I fucking miss it, so far ahead of its time in many ways yet so far behind in others. Would've been a good apartment to renovate if it weren't for someone being granted permission to build 3 massive blocks across the narrow one way street. Vertically, the sound insulation was horrid, but horizontally well I didn't believe I had neighbors on the floor, you could've told me the apartment over was empty and I'd believe it, to say the least. No idea how they managed that level of sound insulation in 1991.
>>2763719I'm in Finland and all houses are required to have like 30cm of foam. Houses in the countryside are also wood famed. Idk why people here say that's an American thing.>>2783654That's why we're also required to have forced air ventilation running 24/7 with heat exchangers nowadays. It makes winters a dry hell in new apartments. Indoor humidity hovers around 10% on very cold days. But I guess its better than mold.

A place for anything to do with Welding.Post your welds, ask questions and discuss sticking metals together.IDK I just want a place to talk about welding.
>>2787201looks like an old 2-stroke expansion chamber, so absolutely fucking not.just let it leak until you've saved up $50 for a new one.
>>2787201Normally, putting a cover over leaky garbage just results in slowly leaking garbage with a temporary respite. To really fix a problem, it has to come completely out and then get replaced by good weld. If it's an old piece of shit machine that's not going to last much longer anyway, then go for it. It's just not going to work for long.
>>2787210I wouldn't be attempting to fix it if I could find a new one, trust me >>2787232So grind it completely off and weld in sections? I'm trying to avoid fabricating an entire new segment because I'm sure I'd fuck something up
>>2787404Maybe not completely off if you know where the leaks are. If you can find the fault line, just opening that up enough to get a good amount of fusion between the two parts is enough. Basically your actual weld doesn't penetrate very deeply, so if you can create the conditions to weld deep by actually starting further into the metal, it'll be a much stronger weld. Plus if the fault is still underneath, it'll keep exerting pressure against your shallow cap until it breaks through again.
>>2787421I ground it relatively flat and can identify only one leak point and I was sure there was more of them, looks like I'll need to do a cap pass on the entire length
How much water hose would I need to have it in direct sunlight and have a continuous flow of hot water?
>>278734013.472 miles
>>2787340I got one of those tankless water heaters.It’s cold here, and the water comes in at about 7 deg C in the winter.You get hot water out of the thing to have a shower only if it’s in “golden shower” flow, like being pissed on.
>>2787340Too vague. Without further information, the answer could be 20 feet or 300 feet.Where do you live?What time of year?Cloudy or clear sky?What is the flow rate of the water?What is the diameter of the hose?What material is the hose?What color is the hose?What material is behind the hose (is the backdrop thermally reflective or absorbent?)What is the starting temperature of the water?What temperature does the water need to reach for you to consider it "hot"?
>>2787469you forgor outside temp senpai
>>2787340I have a 75 foot black hose, it provides hot water for about 5 minutes then it gets cold again.
On a scale of 1 - 10. How difficult would it be for someone to build this structure on their own? No plumbing and I would hire a contractor for the concrete slab and an electricity.

Allen is kinda the same, except I don’t see nearly as many odd ass sized Allen keys, like I could probably go my whole life without encountering a 7mm Allen, but that T-27 will pop up again eventually.

>>2784904Used by automotive engineers to fuck mechanics six ways to sunday, retards at BMW motorrad had put them on the immobilizer antenna on the ignition lock, the problem is that all the antennas were getting fried when disconnecting the battery, the cherry on top is the medium strength loctite to lock the anti unlocking bolts. It took only 7 years to fix the problem and switch to a new antenna.
>>2784842>I hate the phillips screwim with you bro.Robertson square heads for life
>>2787159Most ignitions have some sort of security bolt these days. The one upside is that it’s in one of the few spots on a car where shit doesn’t get rusted and seized. I’ve run into those snapped off ones a handful of times, Dremel a slot into it or hit it with some Cobras and it should come out.Picrel shows the snapped off screw with the slot cut into it holding the ignition module on this thing.
Australian wiring question, or, "How Bruce burned his house down".I have a regular feed and a "controlled load" feed in my house.Currently my water heater runs off the controlled load, however my solar/battery system does not feed into it, so I want to change it over to the regular feed.It's got a MOD6 circuit breaker switch in the meterbox, with a single thick red wire running into the bottom, and a thin red wire coming out the top.Am I right to assume the thick wire running into the bottom is the controlled load feed? And to switch it over, you'd disconnect that wire, cap the wire, and then run a regular feed wire into it?Is it that ""simple""?
>>2786539I don't know why I worded it like that, I just wanted to be clear I guess.I have a rough idea of what's going on, am mainly familiar with 12v wiring.
>>2786544>daisychain the in feed wireit's okay if the daisychain is thick enough to carry the extra load you're addingyou have to be a bit careful when putting one of those copper comb bus bars and a solid wire in at the same time, you really need to make sure the comb went into the clamp, it's pretty easy to fuck up since you can't pull on it to test. british fuse boxes were burning up from this so often that the regs changed from plastic to metal boxes!with flex instead of solid wire the clamp sometimes doesn't get a good grip on both wires. ideally you'd use crimp ferrules to squash the flex into a solid lump first. i've been told that tinning with solder is no good for this.
>>2786540It's the same neutral link, we don't use off peak neutral links in Australia.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to power your regular feed electrical demands off your battery system while keeping your water heater on the controlled load?I know that water heaters are one of the few near perfect uses for solar but if you get a price reduction for the controlled load wouldn't you want to keep it there and use up all your solar augmenting the more expensive stuff?
>>2787414>Wouldn't it be cheaper to power your regular feed electrical demands off your battery system while keeping your water heater on the controlled load?No. I've crunched 4 years of usage data to get to this point. I have ample solar/battery energy left over in most cases for the hot water system. Maybe like 1/10 times I'll be worse off (buying energy at full price), but the other 9/10 times I'm saving money, and the savings significantly outweigh the added cost of buying it at full price.
Hey nerds. I have pic related and have been just sitting it in the window while I shower to push out moisture. I would like to make it more of a permanent thing so I can just flip a switch when I shower.Any suggestions on a through wall setup? My idea was to buy an appropriate sized pvc and run it through the wall. Having the outside be a drier exhaust vent with the flaps that shut when it's off. So no worries of birds or bugs. All plastic so no worry of rust or condensation. Any better ideas though?
>>2785659>why wasn't your house built with one?Built in 1935. No one has thought to put one in, until me.
>>2785659>why wasn't your house built with one? It's basic design stuff to prevent a humid/moldy bathroom.nta of course but my house was built with no exhaust fan in one of the 3 bathrooms, 1993. the shittiest part is the laundry room directly below it has a dedicated exhaust fan. the reason is having a window apparently meets/met code at the time. pulling the switch wiring and installing a switched fan (not a rental so no reason to cheap out on an always on) are not an issue but I'm really not looking forward to going into the crawl space and running the vent properly so I put it off.
>>2785747I've sold 4 homes in the last 5 years. I've made between 70 to 100k every time. I'd be a short sighted knuckle dragger to ignore resale value. Plus where I had lived that contraption would have failed at inspection time. Forcing me to do it right at that point.But no I'm cattle because I'm not encouraging some Jack off on the internet to cobble something together when a ready made product can be had for under 50 dollars and will work better and look better. It wont be a fire hazard beuase all of the wiring is meant to be behind walls. In all your brilliance I didn't see a detailed instruction on how to hodge podge it together. Enlighten the cattle please.
>>2784562It would also be illegal and any inspector worth shit would tell you that it needs to come out. Now you have a big gaping hole on the side of your house.>>2784218Anon, do the right thing and get a bathroom extractor. The DIY part to install it the right way will be more fun than fucking around with this shitty fan. Then you can take your plug-in fan and use it elsewhere, like near your computer or in your shed when you would like to get the hot air out.I swear, I come to DIY mostly to sniff out those stupid threads and the retards that chime in "hurr durr diy not buy!!! consooooooom".

Ausfag here. I wanted to change my bedroom light fitting to a slimline LED. However the old fitting had 4 wires, yellow/green (earth), red (active), black (neutral), and a white (?).The light has a switch on the wall. What does the white wire do, and how do I fix it?
if you have a multimeter, you can turn on electricity and the switch and test to see on what wires you have ~240v and then flip the switch and see if it goes to ~0v. if you are not comfortable handling live current, tie the leads with the wires while the electricity is off, then turn it on.
>>2785723White will be the switch wire. If the red connection has two wires going into it then it's most likely the hard active fed down to the switch. Basically if the switch controls only one fitting, then the single red or white wire will most likely be switched. GL fag
>>2785723>remove switch look at wireslike jesus christ this shit isn't hard. also idk what the fuck upside down wire standards criminals use so I can't exactly say.
>>2785723Looks like the Phoebus cartel and founding member Phillips is at it again.

What are some lucrative trades you can teach yourself and go practice without school credits or apprenticeships? I don't care if I have to take to prove I'm competent to obtain a license. I'm not paying for tuition tho and/or hoping that I'm the 1/1000 person that gets chosen for an apprenticeship spot.
>>2786709AI prompt engineer
>>2786709Depends on where you live. Here in Serbia you can build houses from the ground up without a license. Most brickies I know don't even have high school completed, they learned in like a month on the jobsite. The ones most likely to not have any formal education are blocklayers, plasterers (includes drywall guys and suspended ceiling guys who might be the highest earning trade rn by far here, they charge so much that it's actually disturbing), facade/insulation guys, window fitters, foundation crews (this one is obvious), parquet layers. Tilers sometimes have a formal three year trade education, sometimes they don't. Exterior pavers are another bunch of gypsy retards with four years of schooling at most, you could look into that, but if you're American I doubt that will pay very well because landscaping is swarming with Latinos there and it gets exponentially worse every year.
>>2787001I should clarify that by "four years of schooling" I meant in total. Primary school level.
>>2786709>What are some lucrative trades you can teach yourself and go practice without school credits or apprenticeships?virtually all of them. there is no requirement that you go to school or become an apprentice in order to get your license. being an apprentice can speed the process up a little, but school doesn't help you at all. trade school is a meme for suckers, similar to college degrees in art history or whatever
>>2786709you can work any trade and learn on the job and sell yourself as a professional and work side jobs making bank without a license if you work for clients who dont care or don't ask. you can do anything you want if you dont care.
This little cunt has been using my backyard garden and deck as a toilet. The amount of shit it produces is truly impressive. Turns out their shit carries a potentially deadly ringworm that can kill your children, so my wife is freaking out about it. I have a fenced-in townhome backyard and he's under the deck. I can't shoot it because of the location of my property. I could trap it and dump it somewhere, but that's a class 3 misdemeanor (only a $500 fine so I figure I could take that risk). Pest control guys want between $500-750 which just seems retarded. Recommendations on raccoon removal? Should I accept my city slicker status and pay a professional to solve this 5 cent problem? Or should I ignore the government and find this fucker a new home for the cost of a trap?
