Hello,I recently had a locksmith come to my house to open an older gun safe that I had and forgot the combination to. He drilled a small hole about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide through the door and unlocked it with a borescope. Nothing of particular interest was inside, but now I have a nice safe with hole on the door next to the dial. Is there anyway I can patch up or remedy the hole to at least make it look like nothing happened to it? I was thinking some kind of industrial putty and maybe smoothing over it before repainting.
>>2787599I'm not so worried about the security of it since I don't plan on using it as an actual safe, I'd rather use it as a decorative piece in my living room. I was planning on using the door as a coffee table.
>>2787667Just strip the paint, get the hole welded shut, and repaint. Take a picture if you wanna copy the old look.
/shit thread
>>2787579Is it that burgundy color like your OP pic? If so start by finding a matching paint color. Then if you can access the back side of the door where the hole is and there isn't anything in the way you could take a piece of sheet metal and JB weld it to the back side of the door. Then a bit more on the front side to fill up the hole to level it out with the rest of the surface. If the safe is like the one pictured, then it will have a grained textured surface to it. I have had good luck matching grain textures on things by Laying the surface flat, and putting the JB weld onto it until it is even, then wadding up a napkin or paper towel and blotting at it to give it a texture. You might have to wait until the JB weld starts to set up a bit so that it doesn't flow back flat again after you blot at it. They also make graining patterns you can buy to mimic different textures. https://vinylpro.com/products/grain-paper-set

Looking to get into school to gain a degree in CS but figured that until I have enough money saved up to enter school, I can do the learning (via textbooks) now to prep me for later, so I am wondering;>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
>>2785184is whatever you wrote down for compilers the dragon book? quick lesson, no one in cs calls any book by its actual name. Next thing you're gonna need is the wizard book and k&r
Honestly OP the industry is fucked so proceed with caution. Even if you know your shit it's hard to get your foot in the door with employers. I know several guys who have obtained their degrees, and they're currently applying to hundreds of positions with no reply. If you go into any career thread on /g/ only 10% of the posts will be about actively working people, the rest are venting about job applications.I've seen the progression of desperation throughout my college years and when I was a senior, there were mobs of people in line for a chance to speak to recruiters at job fairs. I suppose it IS still possible because I did manage to get a job, but you really gotta spend a lot of time working on job interview shit. It is probably just as essential as knowing how to code nowadays.Sorry, I don't have any advice to avoid this. There are forces at work destroying the middle class. Do your research before committing to this path. >>2786070>also the whole point of going to school is to learn the theoryThis is untrue just because of the state of the industry. Having a CS degree is as essential as having a pulse. You could maybe get away with no degree if your dad is the owner of the company.

Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?I studied comp sci and also medicine. I see a chart like this and I think to myself "wow this is a notably organized person wanting to go into a legendarily disorganized field" -- you sure you don't want to do medicine or get a Phd in some science? Ignoring the academics seems like it would suit your personality better. You seem a super organized person and computer science nerds, we're a very very disorganized folk. Your competition in these classes aren't planning every next step, they're probably not even planning the next week or even day, but what they love to do is sit in the basement and code all day. Your competition is probably coding right now, not to out-compete you, not to be the best, they just love writing assembly games for the Atari 2600 as a hobby, and that level of joy and intensity inadvertently makes them the best. Or, go into a field where your immense organization skills, themselves, make you the best. Food for thought, do as you will.

What type of connector has a 1mm diameter pin?I want to be able to connect these things with a female socket of some kind. The pin pitch doesnt have to match this (10mm), I'll just use two single sockets.But none of the socket types I know of accept 1mm pins.
>>2786965Amphenol sc000146
>>2787100definately not ideal, also a little difficult to obtain, but thanks for the suggestion.Is there even a way to search by pin diameter? Any time i try i get 1mm pitch results instead.
could you restate your question, because clearly I misunderstood it
>>2787444You didnt misunderstand, but you are (presumably) american, so you assume its practical for someone on the other side of the planet to pay freight from the usual companies you are searching here.Searching fitting manufacturers where i live isnt this convenient afaik, mostly i'd need to examine pdf based stock lists with virtually no description and then send individual pricing requests for large batches.... or search aliexpress which always assumes 1mm is pitch.However if you tell me the site you used there it would be very helpful for knowing the proper names for those types of connectors, which would help me to find them from a distributor more local.
BAMand just like that a random aliexpress suggestion is exactly the keywords i needDTM 1.0mmhttps://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-DTM-1.0mm.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.search.0
I'm having a hard time finding information on cement roof sheathing. Is this just not done in the US? I'm trying to sheath my roof with cement boards, and then put a metal roof over that using adhesive. Cant find shit for information.
>>2787463its an a-frame house so doing it like that would be extremely loud in the rain and provide very poor sound insulation in general.
Why not just use hardibacker?
>>2787568then use something like pic rel and get actuall insualtion against heat cold and sound
>>2787568Well you're gonna insulate your roof, right? RIGHT???
why not pour the roof out of concrete?
This honestly doesn't look like it'd be impossible to make. I'd use a big wood screw that spins with the motor with some electrical wire for heating the tube and then make a wheel that spins for extruding it the stuff coming out then it could be used as a 3d printing filament.Now this is very far out there but the guy I'm talking to talks about wild ideas but I mentioned this and he changed the subject.
>>2785329best option woud probably be a cast iron meat grinderput some heating elements around it and build a adapter plate for the front. maybe a motor if you feel fancy
>>2787740
>>2787740That's not what i had in mind because the proportions are off and it has many holes. The screw should fit tight inside the tube. I was thinking more like putting a 3d printer nozzle at the end but it'd have to be cooled coming out and it can't be a fan because that'd blow away the molten plastic so the colling mechanism would have to made from scratch too which complicates things. >>2785410I think the bottle extruders don't melt the plastic so yeah its going to come out uneven i think .
>>2787831>it can't be a fan because that'd blow away the molten plasticthat's why my prints are covered in plastic spittle! wow, you might be a died in the wool genius anon.

How should i begin doing taxidermy work by myself. What tools do i need? Are there any good textbooks on the subject?
>>2787815the photo is on its side sorry
>>2787816well you start with a dead animal. have you a source for dead animals? dead animals that have minimal damage? e.g. no shotgunned squirrels. you know how to skin right? have you ever killed anything? skinned anything? you can go down to the pound and get some stray cats that have been euthanized for practice.next, what is your familiarity with scraping and curing hides? how many have you done? if you can't do it right with a flat hide you'll never make it with taxidermy. start with skinning and curing 10 cat pelts from the pound and then you might be ready for a book on taxidermy. the good news is all the salt, glycerine and tools should translate directly to the first steps. you can turn the skinning boards into bases if you're done with just turning dead cats into pelts.after the taxidermy it's sculpture time, selecting the proper materials and framework, basing if it's small. It's the sort of thing you don't get into if you aren't already hunting and fishing all the time with family, so I think maybe you should buy a nice 3d printer and just skip the whole dead cat scene.
>>2787815Googly eyes are the patricians choice, just saying.
I broke of these pic related stoneware mugs and am thinking of doing a faux kintsugi thing. However, I also want to be able to microwave this thing, so JB Weld is out, epoxies are apparently out (temperature issues and potential fuming or whatever when exposed to enough heat), and superglue was never practical to begin with.Unless someone has any better ideas, I was thinking of resorting to a cement mixture of some kind and sorta painting on my gold (mica) pigment onto the cracks and then figure out how lacquers work.
>>2785597> hot pockets of corporate goyslopNow, try to not be a faggot who uses a microwave.
Anyone ever use Elmer's Stix All?
If you're putting in the effort, just do actual kintsugi. Food safe is a problem when you're working with adhesives, sealants, mortars plus you want to throw this in the microwave with hot drinks.
>>2786609>just do actual kintsugi>you want to throw this in the microwave with hot drinksI got the gold mica powder specifically to avoid putting metal in the microwave. Do I just not do this, then?
Also have a broken ceramic plate. Not sure that hot food would present the same problems that hot fluids in a cup would, but there's a nonzero chance that this would end up in the microwave too.What's the best way to handle this one, in terms of supplies? As long as cured epoxies are inert, my guess is that my epoxy that's rated at 200 degrees F should be fine.

I'm seriously fucking considering the shipping container pill. I have property with a shit house made in the 40s some meth addict previous owners ruined and it needs a shitload of maintenance that pretty much means I have to empty it out to replace the roof and redo literally 1/3 of all exterior walls. I'm so fucking demotivated of it that I'm just looking into alternate structures I can throw up and live in for the time being and do the construction over the next 6 months. Shipping container seems like the logical solution for a spartan life at least. My concern is management of condensation, I'm at a high elevation so it goes below dew point every night for 9 months of the year so how do I manage this so that water does not condense in the walls against the cold surface of the steel?Can I literally just hose the walls down with insulation foam like picrel? or will it just promote rust jacking and trap water between the foam and the wall spreading as it pushes the foam away is my bet. What is the best solution? urethane based coating and then foam? some kinda polymer paint? Or do I just embrace the condensation and simply coat the steel, then provide drainage at the base and separate my insulation and walls from it with a sealed vapour barrier ?
>>2776842I renovated my home while I lived in a used rv.All that bullshit work you have to do on the shipping container is already done with an rv.Knew a guy who renovated a shipping container into a foam-insulated radio shack, it's just a lot of fucking work. But if you want that kind of project then go for it.t. own a shipping container and an rv
>>2787170the entire point though is i end up with a second permanent structure fit for lasting at least 50 years. desu I'm thinking more and more about just framing a 16x20 A-frame and call it a day. I can either build an outbuilding for toilet/shower/laundry or just drive to the other house for that. It also brings a few other options, mainly I can build this in quite a remote area if I wish, there are a few different quiet deadend valleys I can build in.
>>27869892 containers cost 4k or less, buying wood and getting a carpenter is more expensive desu i think is the general way of thinking
>>2787409>getting a carpenteranon...no the reason people are drawn to a container is it's a one lump sum bam spend $2400-2800 and a box shows up. the box is already weather tight and wind tight and you can immediately begin living in it. it is highly desirable for people with no savings or plans because it's just low enough cost you can impulse buy one and then use weekly disposable income to improve it gradually. Something like a small timber frame house you have to drop $1400 on concrete, rebar, rental post driller, tie wire, some bits of wood for molding and layout. that gets you the foundation peersafter that step you can wait a bit for more money and then you basically have to afford the entire cost upfront of framing, exterior walls, and roof before it becomes weather tight and you can begin using it, building it also takes a month of weekends. you either do it in the spring/fall whne it will probably get rained on and fucked up, or you do it in the summer where you fucking melt in the sun and get skin cancer.and at the end of it' you're in it for the same money.
>>2787559Containers make stellar workshops like mine but they're not for people who care about conventional housing. The military and industry, fountains of all that is good, make great use of them for their specific advantages which of course do include instant usable vermin-proof space where it's exceptionally easy to control humidity (the reason my classic motorcycle garage and machine shop are built of High Cubes). Containers are far stronger than stickbuilt construction though extreme waves at sea can smash them (so never live in a storm surge area unless your home is built like an oil platform AND on a turtleback so it won't flood afterwards). An instant hurricane-resistant structure can be very nice to have. If containers are hard, you fucked up and would likely fuck up stick building. Pole barns etc crumple in high winds unless unusually reinforced (steel posts and trusses as used on poultry barns do well). Wood is nice for furniture and camp fires but wildfires are an increasing threat and containers are easy to defend (kill a generous firebreak so they don't cook) because flying embers will bounce off just like weld spatter. >>2787409>2 containers cost 4k or less,Best to avoid the beat up condemned "WWT" (which often are neither) and spend the extra for at least "cargo ready" (not condemned for maritime use like WWT) and the best are "one trip" grade which are new having made one passage. ALWAYS get a High Cube for max storage, room for overhead shelves and equipment etc. Standard height sucks and are best for storage. Study, never assume. Those who fail to study all their options exhaustively of course get worse outcomes. Containers are best used by people who already weld and fabricate because we can make short work of them but it's not hard to learn. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I have found a good site with a lot of sound proofing advice and products. I like their "best" solution but one section is confusing. I have made a convenient screen cap that you can look at or you can visit the site here: https://www.soundproofcow.com/existing-wall-soundproofing-assemblies/This part is unclear: are they actually saying that you leave a 1/4 inch gap everywhere, including between the panel and the existing wall, and you fill that entire area with sound sealant, which makes sense acoustically but would be very difficult. Or, are they just referring to the gaps around the edges of the panels where they butt up against the existing wall or an adjacent panel. I live near a lot of mexicans; if you are familiar with their culture you understand the need for sound abatement. Imagine this shit at 3 am (turn it up as loud as your speakers can handle - I think that's a rule): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lW8zAHwSE
The gap between the gypsum board and wall is filled with a soundproof mat. The 1/4 gap filled with caulk is all around the soundproof barrier boards>Leave a ¼ inch gap between the new layer of gypsum board and all adjoining wall, ceiling and floor surfaces.
>>2787555thx 555 anon. that makes sense.
>>2787547Here before you buy anything watch a couple videos by this guy instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHKK2jkClcAHe references actual professional soundproofing literature with quantifiable measurements and isn't financially motivated to shill a particular brand of soundproofing materialSummary: more mass good, material phase transitions good, acoustic bridging bad, cheap DIY possible and effectivetl;dr: air gap > fiberglass insulation > stud > isotrac > 5/8ths drywall > pressure sensitive carpet adhesive (or green glue or mass loaded vinyl for the same effect but more $$) > 5/8ths drywallBut even if you do all that the sound is gonna come through your windows anyway unless you build a plug for them
>>2787589>unless you build a plug for themthx for the video; I'll watch it later. The nice thing about the room is I boarded up the windows years ago because they were the old roll-out kind that never seal and were facing neighbors so the curtains were always drawn. So I stuffed them full of fiberglas insulation then a sheet of 1/2" plywood.My initial idea was to haul in cinder blocks and make walls with the blocks filled with concrete, but that's so impractical and apparently not that great at sound abatement anyway, or at least that's what the site in OP says.
>>2787547bro, i get you...first, the "best" solution you're referring to is indeed the best, you want to have an original massive wall (plug all holes as much as you can) then space (this is *really* beneficial, but decreases your room space) then a soft barrier (also thick as you can spare) then 2 or 3 layers of the heaviest plasterboard you can bring in. this will make tremendous effect.the problem is the way the sound transfers, you must be extra careful with the installation and follow all the recommendations to avoid sound leaking. even then the sound will resonate through other walls and the floor. if you cover all the other walls/ceiling that leaves the floor which you should insulate too, and hopefully there's no sound coming through the windows.it's an enormous energy and money waste, and it's pretty certain you will miss something and it will make you mad and depressed, but just keep at it, if you don't want/can't move
