Any good knee pad recommendations?
Do you think these are good or are pant inserts the best option?
>>2555186These look good.
>>2555309scrubbing the floor?>>2555066for like $10 harbor freight has some decent ones that I was really surprised with. My last set lasted like 6 months.
knee pads are awful. They dig in and are uncomfortable as shit. Try kneeling less.
>>2555066Get the pants with knee pad slots/pockets in them. We call them promotion pants.
based or nah?

So what's your style anon? Mid Century Modern? Japandi? Art Deco? Coastal? Farmhouse? Minimalist?...Or do you just not give a fuck? Any plans for a house makeover?Even if you don't adhere to a specific style feel free to share any personal interior design tenets you might have or bitch about others bad taste.Inspiration pics welcome too
I don't know shit about interior design. Which styles are based and which styles are cringe? I wanna look up references.

I've got quite a lot of jute thread, what can i create with it? I have made 1 sling for slinging stones and 4 decorative monkey fists with it so far but i can't figure out anything else. Are there any other things to do with it? Perhaps decorative like these monkey fists? I know sailors back in my fathers time did do decorative things with rope but idk how to do that or where to search

Neighbor placed a belgian malinois in our shared courtyard. It is in a small cage and barks nearly 24/7. I asked him politely to do something to reduce the barking and he has told me to go f*ck myself.I am putting together a 20W DIY speaker setup to try to play ultrasonic sound to silence the dog.Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I have no experience on this topic.
>>2555324> Sounds a lot more complicated than a speaker/amp/mp3.Well, it's not, because mp3 is capped at about 20khz and can't reproduce a dogwhistle frequency ever. And 90% of consumer speakers can't either; you'd need audiophile grade tweeters.Also a small fan is not remotely loud or power-hungry. You do not need 100psi, you barely need "human lung pressure"
>>2555029A Malinois is a working dog. It should be chasing perps or doing search and rescue work, not trapped in a cage. It is absolutely barking because it has absolutely no interaction or exercise.>>2554507Contact a humane society or rescue group, tell them about the neglected dog, and maybe they will be able to convince the owner to part with it.

>>2554507i know the feels bro. my neighbor has an autistic husky that never shuts the fuck up. I always heard chocolate will fuck a dog all the way up but can't confirm. what about just good ol rat poison in a hot dog?

It's 7/10ths tribalism and 3/10ths mysticism and superstition. Nearly anything you find at the orange or blue store is owned by a huge multinational corporation that itself is owned by a conglomerate that has a stable of companies. Milwaukee and Ryobi are owned by the same company. Black and Decker, Porter Cable, and DeWalt are all owned by the same company. And on and on... The only exceptions are Hitachi, Bosch, Hilti, and Makita. Which is part of the reason it's hard to find a wide range of those tools anywhere but specialty shops.All tools, even Hilti and Metabo are made down to a pricepoint. It's much easier to make something "cost no object" because you don't have to make compromises. The amazing thing about modern tools is how good they have gotten and how well-researched the designs are. Making a driver and impact that cost $200 and will last five years with heavy daily use is an amazing feat of engineering. The tools of old were nowhere near as affordable and we didn't have the materials science and design technology we have today. So they were overbuilt. They were heavy, unwieldy, and often times downright dangerous to use in non-ideal circumstances. Slippery handles and bodies, no double insulation, poor ergonomics, etc.
Today it's unlikely that you'll buy something that will actually let you down in homegamer or prosumer use unless you get the absolute bottom of the barrel or buy something from a completely decontented brand like PC or B&D. Some brands like the red one or the yellow one have lots of the prosumer and contractor market because they are reasonably good, very easily available, and have decent warranties with easy to find service centers. Batteries are exclusive to tool lines by design, so once you go down one road you're more or less locking yourself into that ecosystem unless you want to juggle multiple chargers and multiple spare batteries. It also reinforces the tribalism when you walk onto a jobsite and see almost nothing other than red and yellow. Folks that start on the job follow suit and the cycle is perpetuated.Tool companies' marketing departments aren't goldbricking, either. All of the commercials are exactly the same as the ones for yogurt or prescription drugs. The difference is that rather than fit young folks running through a meadow or overlooking a sunset over a vineyard, finally in total bliss because of said product, you have gritty shots of sweaty rugged individualists throwing sparks, zipping lag bolts into 4x4s, and lots of meaningless shots of steel plates dropping onto surfaces, artfully kicking up dust. Then the gravel-voiced announcer tells you how powerful, capable, dependable, etc the tools are.All popular commercial products are sold this way. This was figured out a long time ago. Sneakers, premade food, cars, tools, etc. There's nothing particularly special about any of them, some have features you might find particularly desirable for your use case, some have a more diverse ecosystem if you need eight tools with interchangeable batteries. Most trade on the reputations they've built up over the years, some are stripmined and decontented until the brandname is all that's left, like the aforementioned B&D, PC, Craftsman.
All this to say, don't believe the hype. It's probably 4/10ths down to the tools doing their job and being nice to use. The remaining 6/10ths are branding, marketing, looking like the other kids in the shop, and perceived value. There are good tools from lots of brands. You can buy a red tool and have it fail on you. They use good components and batteries for the pricepoint and generally stand behind their tools. If it breaks or is DOA within the warranty, they'll replace or fix it. If it's out of warranty and you still have a stack of batteries, you can pick up a new one very easily. That's true for the yellow brand, too.It's not really surprising, though continuously frustrating, to see the amount of tribalism about tools, just like almost everything else. When you buy the okey doke and pray at the altar of Milwaukee or DeWalt to the exclusion of other tools you're buying into an ethos that only serves the people that sold you that idea. Try out a bunch of tools, make informed purchases, consider your options. There are more great tools out there today than ever before.

>>2556027>impact that cost $200 and will last five yearsI've only had mine for 3 and my bits wobble around all over the place. It's a DeWalt and a piece of shit.
I want to child proof my stereo system. I was thinking about limiting the volume/amp to the speakers so when the volume knob is maxed on the amplifier it can not blow out the speakers.
>>2553785Why can't you just tell your kids to not touch your stereo?
>>2554404That would require effort on the part of the parent and discipline on the part of the children. Neither of those things exist any more in today's society.
>>2553936We installed a bit more aesthetic version of this at work with a removable stop. I mean... that is removable, but it looks like absolute shit and it going to fail over time. They do make potentiometers with lock stops, but you can simply disengage the stop from the front, so the kid would figure it out over time.
>>2553785I have the same problem, except I have a 130 watt reciever and 10 watt speakers (radio shack minimus)I looked at the service manual, and surprisingly, i think the output could be as high as 60 volts! is that common (it's an old JVC)?i was thinking a 10 watt 360 ohm resistor. Does that logic check out?

I would open it first to check build quality. usually strips use double slotted screws. pay attention to the tvs mov (transient voltage suppression). and if its paired with a fuse in case it fails short. this would be the component that would fail most of the time but (usually) easy to replace.

A folowup of the previous thread in which several anons were collaborating in doing a combined wood gas generatorlast thread>>2504527
>>2552277Much of the largse size is due to the gasifier is loaded with a huge amounts of fuel. Reloading is inconvenient and releases dangerous gases, so big it is. With the design shown by OP, the gasifier can easily be reloaded with a chute with interlocks so little or no gas escapes. Most likely it is more efficient and require fewer reloading anyway.Wood gas generators are full of components that get very hot. The extensive cooling and use of cooling jackets keeps it a lot safer and more convenient.Here is a small one: https://youtu.be/a6e3CprVTi8I did a quick check and it seems EGR and wood gas geenrators is a new idea here.
>>2553758>The extensive cooling and use of cooling jackets keeps it a lot safer and more convenient.but wouldn't cooling lower the efficiency?I am trying to learn how the current design works
>>2553758>I did a quick check and it seems EGR and wood gas geenrators is a new idea here.I did further searching and it seems I was wrong here.>>2556142Contrary to what many think, in a combustion engine or turbine, the air and fuel should be as cold as possible, the flame as hot as possible and the exhaust as cold as possible. Carnot cycle PV diagrams will explain this.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure%E2%80%93volume_diagramSo you want to cool the gas as much as possible. You also want to cool the walls of the gas generators if only to prevent it from overheating. gasification takes place around 650 - 800 C which is enough to make metal glow deep red. And that is not user friendly. The high temperaure heat can power a steam engine/turbine and much of the remaining excess heat can be used to preheat the fuel.A well tuned gas generator will emit 2 kWh heat for every 1 kWh generated machanical power. Conversion to electricity is close to 100 percent. Out of that 2 kWh heat you can realistically recover 0.5 - 0.7 kWh as mechanical energy, or 1.1 kWh for a large super high efficiency plant.
I've been following the previous thread since the beginning. I have NO IDEA how to read your schematics. Can someone give a detailed guide to how it works ?
>>2556169Excuse me sir, I believe the cylinder walls of the combustion chamber should be as hot as possible to facilitate a hi temp flame.

Sounds gay
>>2555340Is it competitive? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_SAEIf not skip it
>>2555466it's competitive but kinda gay like the other anon said. You're doing this with other schools and at the end of the course you're going to a circuit and have them race against eachother.But they're only gonna go 30 kms an hour because of "safety regulations".
>>2555340If its cheap, and you have the free time, I would probably do it.
>>2555340did something like this in highschool, point was to get the most laps on like 3-4 lead acid batteries. Best part was no speed restrictions and they had us do runs on Road America - an actual racetrack. was fun watching other kids rolling their homemade go karts at this one hairpin turn.
when i measure between' other test point' and 'live' the multimeter measures 240v.That's when the light switch is turned offThat must mean the floating potential of the light's active wire must be earth, right? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
>>2555856it's impossible to get 460v in my home though
>>2555856>single phase has two "phases"And my glock made by smith and wesson needs a new clip. Anyone can just deliberately say things that are wrong but still be understood.
>>2555808240V is the potential between your hard active and switch wire. When it becomes an open circuit (switched off), it becomes your neutral potential, which is 0V because it is tied to your earthing system via the MEN.>>2555856>460Vjesus fucking christ america
>>2555856Nothing in Europe is wired in a way that you would ever get 460 volts. Certainly not in single phase. We get 400 with 3 phase.
Wire that thing correctly, like like some hack European wired that. Single phase has two lines and a neutra, neutral is bonded to ground
