>1. Is there any real reason to spend big on a "high security" lock over your stock-standard cylinder? Are thieves really picking locks in the real world?
We've had business owners at my work ask us to put high-security locks on buildings with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors. The security level of your lock should match the security level of the rest of your security system. Most actual criminals (in America) don't bother to pick locks because it's a skill that requires patience, and if criminals had patience, they wouldn't be criminals. They're going to put in the least amount of effort possible. Your advantage as a homeowner is that you can control how high that lower limit is.

>>2518075
What a dumb analogy

>>2518012
>Are thieves really picking locks in the real world?
not much, but what some theives do is make copies of keys from where they work after getting access to them legitimately as part of their job or by sneaking them off the premises and putting them back after getti g copies made.
Security locks minimize the ability to do this by restricting and documenting who gets blanks at the locksmith level, so if you keep close rein on who has a key you can minimize inside theft jobs by unknowns or disgruntled terminations using a spare key.
If a key gets away though you'll need to get new cylinders and keys, and some brands will remove restrictions on older blanks when they stop selling those models, or just after a decafe or so to force everyone to upgrade cylinders to maintain the security restrictions.
IOW its kind of like a subscription service that needs to be renewed.

The guy who did this also asked me to bypass a flame safety to get his friend heat. He threatened to fire me when I refused but the other owners backed me up. I know if I had done it and the unit caught fire or worse he would've sworn he never told me to bypass it.

Miswired a 240 plug for a popcorn maker at a movie theatre, not the outlet but the end of the cord. Luckily it was a dedicated circuit. Almost fried the control board and ended up shutting down the popper for the next three days until an actual electrician could come service it. All I had to say was "I'm not an electrician, I told you to get a professional."

Stop permitting yourself to be stressed which is a CHOICE and a weakness. Sensitivity is degenerate in a man. You should have slowed down instead of reacting emotionally. Emotions are bad business so harden the fuck up.

If I'm getting paid I don't care if the customer runs a baby through the meat slicer so long as I'm not expected to clean it up.

I take my heads and dig a little circular trench to semi-bury the rim of an inverted metal mesh wastebasket. The head goes under there, with some heavy weights on top. After time the insects clean it pretty well, but not perfectly. Then I plonk the head into a 5 gallon bucket of water to let what's left putrefy. Change water maybe once a week, pick off the big pieces, do a rinse in-between bucket changes. Needle nose pliers help if you have some tough, slippery skin or ligaments. I never do boiling water or bleach. I like the natural bone colors. Other useful tools: scrub brushes, toothbrushes, nitrile gloves, goggles (meaty backspash). It's a labor of love to clean a good animal skull.

>>2518091
By the way, if you let nature take some of the cleaning job, you Must figure out a cage solution or a larger animal will take pieces. Even insects can walk bones several feet over time.

ITT idiots

Can't let nature take its course, I live in a big city and it's icy winter right now.

>>2518114
You don't want to boil because it weakens the bones. You cannot get good specimens doing that. You can buy some beetles and a tank or you could set the head outside on a balcony or something inside a mesh cage and let maggots eat some. For the water bucket putrefaction step you also want to set the bucket outside on a balcony or something. This really stinks. The whole process really smells. Don't do this inside your house or in an apartment. Wait for warmer weather. You will have trouble getting the death smell out of your home. Trying to think of how to change the water buckets without defiling your apartment. You may very well get the cops called on you or lose your lease for this. This is an outdoor activity.

Hi-res pictures here

>>2517777
Do you have access to the attic?

Time to break out the carbide burr...

A lot of times you can tap it in a loosening direction (for an extractor it'd be clockwise) with a center punch. You'll fuck up your punch tip, but it can be re-sharpened...

>>2517751
I used this sort of extractor that you hammer in, not one you screw in
I'm fucked so I have to replace to part

I don’t break the bolt to begin with

>>2517752
What is the part? If it is worth enough money, or hard to acquire, then it might be worth it to spend more time trying to get the extractor and bolt out, or even send it off to get it removed by edm.

Heat is always your friend when dealing with stuck fasteners....

>>2517771
^Is wise and professional in attitude.

If the part is worth money you can have a machine shop EDM it. The best way to DIY is learn of all the industrial/commercial processes then either choose one you can do yourself or wisely outsource. The professionals don't do everything themselves either or they'd go bankrupt.

BTW I prefer to drill or mill threaded fasteners until they're a thin shell then if they don't respond to modest torque I drill and tap for a thread repair insert rather the fighting with screw extractors. Larger fasteners get welded to a nut if there's enough left but I drill the threads out of the nut for better penetration first.

Women like wood, ask your bull.

OPs target is basically a workbench for which videos and plans abound. Built it tough and if one day she wants something different you have a useful bench.

>>2517724
I can't, I live in an apartment
.>>2518018
I'll figure out how to not fuck it up before I figure it out, I just need input on joinery methods
>>2518155
No, because >>2518172 is right. I have a shitty desk. I literally just do want her to have a nice desk, because I do want the desk down the line. I could have figured out a desk for myself for years if I wanted to. She asked. So I'm gonna make my wife a damn good desk.

>>2517762
This, you can get rid of nearly anything because of the hoarders that frequent the free section. Label them as shooting targets or something and they'll go even faster.

Looks like a MOV (metal oxide varistor). They tend to fail like that, it's a safety feature, but it also may indicate an overvoltage issue elsewhere.
Simply replacing it will likely fix the issue, if not it will fail again.

I had a MOV burn out in my heater because of a loose power cable elsewhere in the house causing voltage fluctuations and the MOV was absorbing it.

>>2517805
Nevermind me that's a cap according to the symbol. I'm retarded.

>>2517806
Yeah, fucking love the older boards that were built for humans to assemble them and could space things out and add proper labeling.

>>2517775
capacitors blow up for a reason, just replacing it may not fix it.

A loop then a loop then loop 13 times and pass the end thru the first loop….fag….no answer hopefully means you were successful

yeah you actually can use synthetic clay as well which while not as authentic is just as good. If you cant find synthetic clay you can really just use play-doh. Way cheaper especially if you make it yourself.

I picked up a Le Creuset whistling tea kettle at value village for 9$, only problem is it didn’t have a whistler, has anyone dealt with this before? I can’t find anything on where to source a reliable replacement part that will actually fit, everything’s too big, straight out of scamazon, or won’t ship to Canada. Seems like most of the used listings on Etsy and the like are in a similar whistler state but I can’t find anything about repair please help I’m losing it over a fucking kettle

>>2518132
Why can't you return it since you just bought it?

Can anyone tell me what this little metal rectangle button is called or where to get more, if they exist?

This book has a section in it about book binding.

Whatever you do, do not use Google or any other search engine. The internet hates physical books and will lie to you so that you mess it up.

>>2517743
>The internet hates physical books and will lie to you so that you mess it up.
Definitely. Remember that you're absolutely going into this task completely without any predecessors being successful. All books have been found fully formed on the ground for thousands of years. Gutenberg, for instance, was not a man but the name of a region in which a rich vein of books was discovered.
Be especially cautious of libraries and museums that purport to have "restoration" projects that are constantly looking for interns and assistants. They are secret societies only looking for victims to toss into the Page Pit in hopes that a replacement book will spring forth.

We can't find posts on this very board from yesterday.
None of these electronic records will survive. It's all fucking gone.
It's why I put increasing credibility on the notion that there was a previous technological civilization to our own. Advances societies apparently leave no records behind.
