It is not about learning, it is about one's ability to teach. If you have the grasp of a language that does not exceed that of a 14 year old and cannot write clearly you are going to have a hell of a time educating anyone. How do most unqualified people try to overcome this handicap? By saying the same things again but louder.

If yelling at someone is your go-to solution for correcting incorrect execution they are either going to quit or learn from someone else. Clearly, you are unqualified to teach them. If you cannot teach you have no business being in any supervisory position. You have exceeded your Peter Plateau. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle

Being a good machinist, carpenter, salesman, anything, does not qualify you for being in charge of other people, especially where educating is often a requirement. That is one of the most damning things I have seen "leaders" do in any industry. They demand that the people they have under them already be fully qualified for the position, are unwilling to train them, but at the same time want to pay them well below market rates. They advertise a job where they want an "apprentice" but expect them to be a journeyman and treat them like crap if they aren't. They advertise a job where they want a "journeyman" but are paying apprentice rates and then are surprised when no one qualified applies. If you are hiring for any entry-level position then you are responsible for training who you hire. If you can't do that, don't advertise that level of position.

The G.I. Generation trained people. They understood that being educated is not always about going to school but about learning. They also had the highest rates of higher education than any generation before them. Anyone talking about going to school as being useless should probably reevaluate their life choices. There is a reason Boomers are called the "Me Generation" and the G.I. Generation is called the "Greatest Generation".

The G. I. Generation is also called the silent generation. You should try it before you spout off about things that haven't changed in literally thousands of years, but you aren't bright enough to realize that. Go do some learnin' there, sport.

That kit maybe.
People have been reloading rimfire since cartridges were first made.

>>1517125
I’m gobsmacked that this exists. So, it’s possible.

I’m still totally not convinced it makes sense to do it. About $250 for the casting kit, resizing die, and first primer mix. Add another $100 for the lead melting pot, and then you can cast two bullets at a time??
IF you can clean and reprime that brass, it’ll take all day to make 500 rounds that you can buy for $30 ?

I’m curious enough to maybe try their 22 magnum, but only because that can use .224 45 grain jacketed bullets I already have. But I still think the repriming is going to be half assed...

>>1517342
It is half assed, Anon. Yes, it's possible, and it's been around a long time, but best case ignition rates are 50-75%. And if it does go bang, it's not going to be any better than factory. If you try really, really hard you might come up with real scenarios when it makes sense, but I'd respect "I just want to see if I can" most of all. At least that one would be true.

>>1517372
Yeah, its a thought. I actually bought a mexican made rifle that uses the smaller .22 blanks for starter pistols, and has you insert a .177 pellet in the chamber for the blank to propel.
Used it once to see it works, then shelved it.
I 'spect the mexicans don't let their people buy regular guns easily, and this is a work-around.

I have a Kobalt stubby 3/8 drive 90 tooth ratchet and I really like it, it's honestly my go to, it fits in a lot of places and usually I don't need a ton of torque, though the nicest stuff I've used is USA craftsman stuff.

Work in IT and they have all their own tools but I do my own car work/maintenance and I use sockets and ratchets all the time. It's one of those things where I would like a new nicer set, but the one I have works perfectly fine and there's no need to overbuy. I guess wait until my crapsman breaks to buy nice shit.

Going to build my first FPV drone. Saw some guides. Can solder and shit.

Recommendations on a build video and parts list?

I don't have goggles but even if i end up hating drones i want fpv for my trucks and cars so i can dick with a buddy. He has a shop half a mile away and i live on a hill. Going to cut a walking trail and build a couple of little ramps to crawl over the fences on the way there.

>sneek up

>building into the ground a little

where i live that would be a disaster. phreatic layer is rising every year, apparently due to deforestation, basedbean monoculture and over exploting the soil, and some fields near where i live are already converted to cuasipermanent swamps.
i'm this guy >>1516253 and i'm building my house on elevated pillars. my plot of land is about 10 meters higher than those swamped fields and i'm not afraid of floodings, but almost every house in the neighbourhood, old or new, has foundations humidity problems, and i'm not taking the risk.

i'm going with concrete shoes and double T steel beams supporting a chassis of smaller double T beams, and over this the steelframe construction, that is fairly light and flexible, so it wont break even if some of the pillars sunk a little.
pillars will raise the house about 80cm, and i'll build a rammed earth embankment up to that level all around the house (pic related), so maybe some underground cold can be gathered.

but i'm really considering having an underground geothermal cooling system (also pic related), if shit gets too hot, but that can be added later to the house.

You joke but that's actually useful for shit on a bike, both in absence of buying real cone wrenches and cause it's lightweight so you can take that + and adjustable in your carry-along toolkit for turning a nut and a bolt at the same time, without chewing it up.

Also nice to just magnet to machinery as a convenient unobtrusive assembly/disassembly/adjustment tool.

And I suppose that for absolute poverty level it works as a temp thing considering you can get those for literal pennies at garage sales while being a source of thickish metal stock later? Better than breaking some half-plastic/half chinesium ratchet which has 0 use after.

except you arent allowed to have any gap at combustible material, meaning your box must be flush or be forced to use what is known as a spark ring, rendering the tabs useless.

Check NEC 314.20 for exact wording because I am pretty sure you have been doing it wrong.

Sorry, I don't have a scope.
No experience, I just tried following multiple online guides with similar equipment.
The display didn't come with any documentation but just now I think I found the right papers and am going through it.
I'm just a bit annoyed, I saw some youtube videos and people just plug shit in and run their code through the arduino-ide and shit just works, I had the wrong expectations.

>>1517260
Yeah I tried something like that too but the result was that it found ~100 addresses with my display hooked up. According to it's documentation the address is either 0x78 or 0x7A.

I'm making a display case with a continuous rotation servo for ease of control, but I'll need to be able to power some equipment on top of it. Can anyone recommend me a way to fit a slip ring onto the servo/rotating platform?

I'm helping a company that runs haunted houses create a portable voice-changer that they are going to have inside their masks. I've looked at the generic Halloween "voice changers" that have a few pre-made voices like ayy, demon, robot, etc and none of them fit the bill for what they want and look like a bitch to reprogram. They have a voice that they like that one of them made with Adobe audition, and they have used this tutorial [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzjvjnHsUrk] in the past to change a voice in an attraction piece that sits still, but they want to make it so that the set-up is mobile and can be carried on a person. Long story short, I know how to set this up on a laptop, but carrying a laptop around on an actor is a hilariously bad idea. What out there do you think is powerful enough and has enough space to actually play Adobe Audition, Virtual Audio Cable, and maybe a small, custom-programmed sound-board hooked up to a few buttons to make a couple pre-recorded sounds play such as screams or other noises? Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, etc have nowhere NEAR enough space on it to play them and it actually run fast enough that it doesn't sound like garbage, let alone even install the programs.

Is there a way to artificially increase the space on one by hooking up a flash drive or some shit that has Windows installed on it to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi so I can actually accomplish what I am setting out to do or am I being an idiot? I don't have much programming experience with Arduinos/Raspberries at all but I'm the only person working on their team who even remotely has the computer and programming skills to figure this shit out.

Drills seem to be reaching a point where they shouldn't really be any more powerful, I used my bosses new Ridgid brushless monster the other day, hit a nail in some timber with the auger bit and despite having it braced pretty well it nearly ripped my hand from my arm.
