It's definitely possible, but it depends on how basic you want to make it.

>>1770373
To be able to hurt someone painfully, not necessarily able to kill someone, so pretty basic I think

>>1770284

yes
It feels like you upgraded from the trailer park and wanted to keep the memory of your experience there alive, so you skinned a bunch of RVs and placed them on your ceiling as a keepsake.
I bet if you stripped the paint from those pillars you'd get something that looks real nice.

>>1770381
Why so much hate? I like old buildings.

>>1770284
Unless you want to make a hallway, don't bother with walling/glassing up the pillars. It just constricts / shrinks the room.

Remove some pillars, because they break up the open space of the room. That is what I would do. Obviously you can't just remove them, so you'll probably need outside help on this to reinforce what they are supporting. And the ceiling is ugly as >>1770286
said. Everything else is ok.

>>1770680
>>1770286
Why so much hate for the ceiling?

>>1770747
normal wavy ceilings don't call attention to themselves because they're featureless so they don't cast shadows on itself.
yours looks like bleached farmland.

As a matter of aesthetics, if you are going for an obvious pattern--stick with the pattern. if you are not going for a pattern, don't follow a pattern.

your ceiling follows a pattern, it deviates from that pattern by being ridiculously wavy and casting shadows on itself, so it's objectively ugly.

You might not like it, but pic related is what peak performance looks like.

Buy two of them and stuff one inside the other to double up the thickness.

Looked around and found a high quality duffel bag that's even cheaper.
I'd still love to put the logo on it
>How do I put a logo on a duffel bag?
>What materials do I use?

You could always try cutting out a stencil and taping it to the bag and then painting it with some kind of rubbery paint... maybe plastidip? Or hell even an acrylic paint from the arts and crafts store in a color you like. They probably sell some that are made for fabrics.

Also in regards to your original question, I saw a video a few days ago of a guy that coated the inside of a brown paper bag with Durabak bedliner and then he let it cure and filled it with water. The bag was water tight and stayed that way until all the water evaporated out over several months time... I've used the Durabak on a vehicle before, and it is decently tough, but fades in the sun. I guess if it were just inside the duffel bag it wouldn't matter much if it faded.

>>1770277
pretty sure there's some rubber paint you can just paint dircectly onto there through a stencil that would look and feel nice. don't know much about that though

>>1770203

I found out about that REBCO 2nd gen HTSs have enormous critical field strength from MIT presentation of ARC/SPARC reactors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4
Here's a news article about record breaking magnets that use it

so it appears they figured out how to create the required atomic structure

>>1770147
The record breaking performance is achieved at liquid helium temps. How are you planning to cool this? Do you have any cryogenic experience? Improperly handled cryogenics are very dangerous, not just from cold burns or asphyxiation, but unless you are careful you can freeze up your vessel trapping boiling cryogen in a sealed volume which will result in an explosion

my realtor was such a dumb bitch that when she measured my house she fucked it up didnt tell me and then listed my house as 15,000 sq ft.

when I asked her about it she said no I assure you thats correct. my house is 2,500 square ft. The pictures she took were garbage she used a cell phone. She listed it as a cozy cottage instead of a house in a neighborhood.

I fired her. I put a for sale by owner sign in my yard and advertised on craigslist and put out ads in the local paper and flyers at the local library and mall and grocery stores. The best thing I did was leave flyers at hotels in the area, I figured people looking for a house might be staying in a hotel, the buyers got my flyer from the hotel. It sold in 5 months.

>>1770251
>Photos
I've noticed a trend recently of faggots taking close up photos of stupid shit like door knobs. That's how you know it's all bullshit.

>>1770251
That kind of stuff is getting shaky now that NAR has banned pocket listings. Doesn't matter for a person who isn't a member, but since most MLS providers require it, good luck.

>>1770433
Shit, meant to reply to >>1770209

>>1770209
I managed to get the realtor for 4.5%. But that's still 10k.
About the only thing she did good was the pictures, but that was only after I made her retake them because the first set was so bad.

I just feel like there has to be an alternative. I've seen some places that say they'll list them on MLS for $1k, but haven't tried it yet.

friend right? buy a new replacement and apologize regardless of how much it costs you... you broke it.. stand up

pay the fine
its the easier way

>>1770137
This. The shitty "fix" you're going to do will just reassure your friend that you're, in fact, an asshole.

His is a bit crap, but you get the idea. Anything else is going to involve a refrigeration system, which instantly yeets your "simple" requirement out the window.

>>1769978
Peltiers aren't THAT complicated, but it's probably more complicated than OP was gunning for.

I've found this dude to do a great job of explaining...pretty much anything (he is also not ugly)

I find that many of the Vocational class rooms often cost money and prepare you only to be bottom rung sparky often making anywhere from you regional minimal wages which could change from federal to what ever is stock entry level job. I started at this point and frankly im gonna burn out before I see anything in a form of a decent wage. I was doing full services for 11 a hr. the electrican is charging about from 1600(friend cost) to 320 for a single 100 amp upgrade. In my area thats about 400 in material, 200 in paperwork related to the job, my labor often less than 100 for the day. The remainder is gonna be complete profit for the JM/Master.

You will realize also often the local shops will not help or aid you in getting certified/licensed because it cuts into their bottom line. I have been in the field for 5 years. I regret not going union. In my state you need 7.5 years of verified working hours because you can even take the Journeyman exam. You also have to consider how the laws in most states work as well. It has been turned into a nightmare. I have seen guys with in two years understood more than 20 year vets and they burnt out just trying to get to a living wage.

Its pretty bleak for most people shelf life is 5 years before people move on with their lives. Its a dying trade frankly...once innovations from other sectors begin to build pressure other tradesman from other trades will attempt to work into electrical as it will be one of the last holdouts. I am sure you can image what I mean.

$3,200 for a single 100 amp upgrade

It was like a year ago when I saw the video, I think I forgot what the actual fraction was because it worked out to .0012" or something tiny like that. Realized after I posted that I was a decimal over like the other number.

Anon that's just 12/1000

>>1770041

I hope you mean 1/128 because while still an oddball unit it's not so eye-twitchy.
But yeah, in the right conditions you can eyeball that. Especially when comparing one edge to another or seeing how centered something is within a short distance. Your eyes are very good at directly comparing two relative distances.

i know this is impractical in a trailer

but before people even got the idea of burning wood in a metal box they had masonry heaters.
you load quite a lot of wood in there and burn it fast and clean with lots of air. the bricks get 2000°F hot on the inside outside stays around 140°F for 12 Hours.
>Tfw all modern "wood Stoves" are Coal Stoves with a few airflow modification. JUNK

>>1770770

My fireplace insert works similar to that. Once you have it going for a while it will heat up the entire mantle, the concrete wall it is mounted in, and even the tile/concrete floor probably 6-8 feet away will get nice and toasty. Then when the fire dies out it radiates that nice warmth out over a decent span of time.

Whole thing would be around 2m high max.Door would be smaller around 1.5m,window would be around 50cm. My drawing might be misleading though.
I want to attach the "main" poly to the tubes without damaging it. On the sides though i could use a stapler gun to attach the poly to the window frame.

I've been using a doorframe-mounted pull-up bar for at least 10 years. The same one, in fact, and I've used it in at least 4 apartments and 2 homes. It's not going to damage anything, the worst thing it does is leave marks on the doorframe. You can just paint over those.

>>1770322
Seconded

>>1769781
If you can get in your roof space it’s easy, otherwise it too much work to be worthwhile.

If you can get in roof you should run a metal bar or fence post across four joists and then attach it to that.

its a stud finder, and works by locating the screws used to attach the drywall to the ceiling joists. there will be some rows of one screw, and some rows of two screws,where two boards attach to one beam. you'll be able to figure out where they are and what direction they run.

i dont know how much you weigh, but one large anchor into a 2x6 joist could easily hold your weight. distribute it over two and they likely wont even deflect at all.

Autism: the thread. You were an ass in the other thread where you asked, and now a thread has died. The answer to your question is in your title. That's what it is called. If there is some obscure academic term for that particular motion of the legs, it's probably buried in some theoretical robotics paper somewhere. You didn't see it in your search for images, and I didn't see it when I honestly tried to find you an answer. On the off chance that just any term will satisfy you, I'll offer some to choose from:
>The jiggle walker
>The lift in the middle mechanism
>Three motors one bug
>The drunk Hillary
>Whole lotta shakin' goin' on
>Methbot
>Tilt-a-crap

If you want it to look more like the original plastic, lightly sand it with a fine grit sand paper until the scratches are reduced.

You can look up some of 8-but guys restorations on youtube. He tries a few different types of techniques depending upon the severity.

>>1769721
Thanks bro, I'll check him out. I had a look around on YouTube and I came across this: https://www.hobbytown.com/deluxe-materials-perfect-plastic-putty-40ml-dlmbd44/p249436.

This guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W77FEAtfv0I) was using it to repair plastic cases for car components, but I imagine it would work really well for repairing deep scratches in my computer monitor. It even has a similar color to the monitor's case, so I may even get by without painting over it.

>>1769828
Oh thanks. Do you have a better strategy to buy a home yourself at a discount?

>>1769824
Nice. You saved yourself some good $$

I read the other day some rich guy was talking about young people and zillow. That we are using zillow as a fantasy trip because we can never afford the houses.

>>1769866
Unless you live in California or some parts of New York you can afford a home with the right strategy. 1. Live under your means until you save some money. 2. Buy the home off market from someone you know or the strategy I listed. People are just a bunch of nihilist pussies and are too scared to actually do anything that takes a little effort and risk.

u could always get a house for 30 grand

if you're into videogames, fire up Unreal 4 or even just Hammer and make some buildings/spaces/environments, use OBS to record you walking around in them in-game, upload that to youtube and put the links in your application. Make sure you play with lighting and talk about the use of light to change the feeling of a space, that gets those architecture dweebs' little dicks hard. Maybe even do something with VR -- find out if the program you're applying to has a VR lab and give them something they could load up in there.
