any certs you can get online that aren't CS (i.e. programming or sysadmin shit) related are scams, and CS ones are basically just p2w mechanics applied to irl because boomer hr cat ladies don't understand anything about computers

>>1791588
ok but how does that information help me.

The fuck are you talking about?

>>1791516
Worst option, put glue in the hole, wait for it to dry, screw it again.
Better option, move it a bit to the left or right. Wait for it to break again because particle board is shit.
Best option, drill a larger hole, put dowel in hole with glue, drill hole in dowel, screw to dowel.

>>1791522
thanks dawg

>You’ll be competing for jobs with lots of immigrants.
that's all of us, champ
western nations realized they ran out of skilled trades workers. now they're all looking to import unskilled labour and slap a "trades worker" sticker on them. we're going to enter an age of incredible disparity in the quality of work.

Just market towards rich people. I do microbiology at a botanical gardens in a very rich area and had to take the standard course my boss sells to his clients. Half the shit he "teaches" can easily be figured out with a basic knowledge of Google and a couple braincells. He's able to charge stupid money for it though since he mainly markets to rich Mormons.

>>1791548
That's the plan. If i can market myself as a smart, clean and reliable young white man I think i will be able to break into the rich market pretty easily, especially in California.

I started in 2015, got 3 months experience, and started an "architectural masonry" company in Indianapolis. I build firepits, outdoor fireplaces, patios, repair chimneys, indoor fireplaces, tuck pointing etc. If it doesn't have mortar, I won't touch it, and only in rare circumstances will I use anything other than natural stone. I absolutely murder it out here. I built a limestone firepit last week in 2 days for $3,100 and the material was a whopping $100. I charge $1500 to show up and grind out joints and tuck point 50 linear feet, I've built 4 outdoor fireplaces last year in the 15-18k range for 1500 or so in materials.... then I'll normally convince them they need a matching patio (reason for always using stone and not cheap veneer and brick), some stone benches, a matching grill connected to city gas, etc and make 30k on one customer.

That said, masonry is fucking hard, it's dirty, anyone who you can hire with experience is Mexican or a white trash loser, and it does take time to get to the point you can make everything look beautiful. Not good, beautiful. Im also well spoken, trustworthy, and smart. If you're a clown, you'll never have upper class people giving you 10k dollar deposits on work not yet started.

Will be around to answer any questions for a few

Like all trades, it depends where you live. It is a dying trade and will shortly go the way of the wheelwrights with the advent of "hardscapes" and the sort outside of restoration work. I live in new england and skilled stone masons are in short supply (shorter than any other trade) and very highly paid. $30-50/hour with tender's starting at 25. If you go out on your own you'll be hitting 6 figures faster than a plumber. That said, it is very physically demanding work and do not laugh at silicosis.

Use vinegar on absolutely everything.

Sugar soap works well as an all rounder

take your air compressor and blast air through them the other way.

>>1791464
they're ultrasonic welded around the seam between the pink bit and the beige bit, there's basically no chance of spudging the can open, it will have to be cut. the p100 filter material loses some of it's particle-grabbing power when washed in water or solvent, although it seems to be OK to blow out with compressed air. if you have a shop vac with a blow function that usually gets wood dust out but it won't push sandblasting grit or dried paint out of the filter fabric.
carefully cut the can open, pink side up (without spilling the loose charcoal granules that capture the vapors), to replace the clogged p100 filter with some other fine filter like a HEPA hoover bag, a furnace filter, range hood or cabin pollen filter material (ruche/fanfold the material for maximum surface area to improve breathability, hot glue seal the edge to the can so it can't be bypass), then taping it back together and it will be fine for painting. it's not going to be as good as new, but better than walking around bareface in a cloud of paint.

You sound like you've done this before. Thanks.

>>1791485
>p100 filter material loses some of it's particle-grabbing power when washed in water or solvent
>some
Don't wash them
HEPA filters lose a significant amount of their capturing ability when dunked in liquid
Vacuuming helps sometimes though

>>1791398
no sir. i'm new to town

>>1791396
The MIT route is probably the best in the short term since it uses readily avaible supplies, ie small motors and ambu-bags. True ventilators are precision machines able to tune and read inspiratory and expiratory volume as well as pressure and make on the fly adjustments while adding oxygen, heat, and humidity through filter media.

In true emergencies, we'll probably be hand-bagging people.

>>1791417
link to post please

You could google this and find answers to literally every question you have. Rather than reinventing the wheel, just look at one of the dozens of emergency /diy/ ventilator projects and follow their instructions.

Then go outside faggot.

>>1791343
dont remove them, theyre probably there for a reason. do a think about for a minute. show the roof line above that spot, im betting no overhang, and no eaves-trough, the stones are there to keep the fall off from the roof from splattering the house with dirt and digging a trench along the wall that will hold water

>>1791354
Because there's a drain down there that takes the water away from the house, instead of having it pool near the house.

>>1791354
French drain below. Many people remove the stones above it, shovel on soil, and plant flowers then have water issues inside.

gutters or gravel thats the code

>>1791343
its decorative. a french would be in a valley, not the crest of a sloping hill

>>1791316
As long as the oil is dry, yes. Oil paint can take weeks to dry completely sometimes.

>>1791350
What was the greentext for this meme? It went like "Something Something boomers can't take their trinkets with them to their grave".

>>1791296
It's already happening. I've seen deals on cars, trucks and more. Virginia area.

Don't buy a John Deere.

>>1791544
>look what you'll be inheriting
>don't put me in a nursing home

My corona cash is going to a new riding mower, haven’t picked one out yet. Depending on how things go I may look into a sub compact tractor for my small property. Also hoping to jew down a contractor to asphalt my driveway.

>>1791296
it's not gonna happen. this shit never happens. boomers are the biggest fucking hoarders and they think all their chinesium crap is worth its weight in tungsten and they dont even know how to use buy/sell sites anyway

Nice, I'd like to learn to get better with C, anything I can work on to practice? Smaller projects preferred since I'll probably get overwhelmed otherwise but just send anything you think of

Any esp32 projects that need some help? I would especially like security related tools but anything is appreciated

I'd like to help on anything that is good for society or something that is a rather new invention. Not the 1638th js framework or some shit like that

>>1791289
>anything I can work on to practice?
Xonotic has 42 open issues.
>I'd like to learn to get better with C,
If you haven't already, read and work through the book "C Programming: A Modern Approach"

>>1791601
Thanks a ton anon, but is there anything else than vidya? I dont really like playing games so I would prefer something else t bh

Sorry for being sloppy guys

Ask your neighbors if they can lend you a taller ladder so you can take it down before they kill you. Or, since your neighbors are close enough to hear it, maybe you should start harassing your slumlord about it.

>>1791224
Not op, but 5'10" manlet here. Like many people with disabilities (being a midget in my case) I have to use adaptive technologies to get by.

It's a rare and expensive piece of equipment op, but try getting a step stool. Or even a ladder. You'll thank me later.

A thread died for this

>>1791371
fucking piss on it. Piss fixes everything.

>>1791371

go to the catalog and look at the last 20 threads. come back with your list of those that are worth anything. anything at all. if they ever had any value then they have already served their purpose or they wouldn't have been ignored for days.

Meanwhile OP has a real crisis on his hands.

Just get whatever cheap thing you can find, you're not gonna be using it a lot.

>>1791187
Search for cheap adjustable car tablet mount. Remove unnecessary parts and screw that thing to your arm.

>>1791187
there's lots of vesa mount adapters with little arms like this

>>1791187
glue a magnet or four on the arm, duoble stick tape some steel washers on the back of the tablet.

i did this to my tablet so i can use it for gps in the truck

Double sided gorilla tape.

I just pushed it out... from inside.

using a pick, push in between the screw and ring and pry the screw up.

Dremel a slot and use a flat head

>>1791179

It's plastic
You pull it out with ansma flat bladed screwdriver.

Im sure he's in his bunker right now, guarding his toilet paper stash.

I've completed almost everything on my bucket list. Only two trips left. I was ready to face death, but when I think of the fact that I will never have my own secret underground lair, well, it hurts just a little.

>>1791173
A couple threads ago someone claimed he was instructed to stop posting his bunker because it provided details about other, still active bunkers.

Exactly what super sekrit plans the government wants to hide I'm not sure. It's not like every major world power doesn't already have its own bunkers and thousands of qualified engineers and geologists, so I somewhat doubt a few pictures of his underground server room will let the cat out of the bag.

>>1791537
Yeah, iirc the govt of wherever was like 'yo this has basically the same floor plan as operational bunkers pls be to stopping'
