/diy/ - Do It Yourself

The vast majority of those "life hacking" infographics you see originating from /b/ ever since 2009 or so.

Really, most infographics on 4chan in general, since people seem to take them as unassailable fact.

>>422300
they're always interesting to read to me, and i'd try out most of em that don't involve changing my body or risking something financially and what not. Ya know just for shits and giggles

Uhh it's not a myth but just a misunderstanding i guess is that electrical wiring in houses is the same as everything else, colored is live, and black is ground. In reality housing often has black as the live and white as the ground

Typing rm-rf /* in the console on a Mac will allow overclocking (turned off by default) and speed it up.

That's not really going to do anything except give a bunch of access denied error messages.

A penny saved is a penny earned, while a penny spent is a penny bent.

That's bullshit. I bet every penny I've ever used has been spent at least once. Never had a bent one.

"Use soap on the tracks of wooden drawers to silence squeaking." Utter bullshit. I've tried this several times on different desks and deressers. No luck.

how the hell does a penny get broken? i'm a geriatric american and i've never seen one. are they made of cement in your country?

>>422504
wax works, maybe old timey soap is waxier

>>422504
Not going to work with your axe body wash.

Can confirm oldschool soap made with lye, lard, and glycerine works, ivory is okay too.

Was is best though, like >>422515 said. Rub a candle or crayons on it, or actual raw wax (if you are a half decent /diy/er you should have some already)

To actually contribute to the thread:

Pretty much any DIY advice involving duct tape or WD-40 is bullshit (sorry Red Green) - and there are almost always better, easier, and cheaper alternatives.

"There is no such thing as rising damp, just damp"

Most of the claims made about 3D printers.

All the free energy stuff.

All the 'mod your car for better fuel econ' stuff, except weight reduction/aerodynamics.

Shipping containers as housing being a good idea.

Exaggerated claims about the various xyponics.

>>422526
>Pretty much any DIY advice involving duct tape or WD-40 is bullshit

So you shouldn't use duct tape for holding insulation onto your ducts, and shouldn't use WD-40 as a rust inhibitor.

>>422565
as incredible as it sounds, i never use duct tape in ducts, since is crap, i use aluminum tape, me and every other HVAC contractor i know

WD-40 as a lubricant.

I use duct tape frequently at work, but all I use it for is making flag labels for circuit identification (electrician) and to TEMPORARILY hold things. Works great in those applications. As for WD-40, couple times a year sprayed into my sidecutters, strippers, dikes, etc. to loosen them up by cleaning out oxidation and accumulated particulate.

But yeah, neither one of them is a miracle fix-all.

I'm trying to think of a specific one, but honestly most of the quick hack things are crappy non-lasting solutions to a problem.

>>422596
>problem on the moon?
>fixed, courtesy of duct tape

Was also used to build a CO2 scrubber on Apollo 13.

I also lube my bike chain exclusively with DW-40. Give it far too much, remove excess with a rag, remove most grime doing so, solvent evaporate and leave a thin film to keep it from rusting and squeaking.

>>422607
My implication was that they do have practical uses, just that they're not as wonderful as some people claim. Besides, in space all you can use is what you got and I doubt NASA would send up inferior dollar store tape.

>>422569
thats waaaaay more expensive than duct tape though for general application. Maybe worthwhile for contract work, but in my own home, I'll use duct tape

>>422607
WD-40 as a chain lubricant is a really bad idea

Any trans lube would be much, much better

I think duct tape is incredibly useful on any temporal repair, and for shits and giggles

We really need to phase out the fucking penny.

It costs too much and you know how we don't charge hay-pennies and any fractions past a cent when people ring you up with tax and what not?

>>422636

>>422628

Aluminum tape is also not that useful outside of ductwork/aircraft.

So I don't see why you'd use it for "general application" anyway.

>>422645

>>422654

You're better off getting a proper light machine oil for lubricant and corrosion protection and PB blaster for corrosion breaking.

>>422298
The 9/11 "truthers" who say that burning jet fuel is not hot enough to melt steel.

Yea, ok, but anyone who has ever used a oxy-acetylene torch with metal knows that you don't have to MELT steel in order to weaken it and allow it to bend. It gets easier to bend as it gets hotter, much below the melting point. With the weight of all that concrete and glass, the support members of the towers bent in a U or S shape and allowed them to collapse.

placing a car battery on the ground will drain it. i mean like on cement. not upside down, just take the the battery out of your car and put it on the floor in the garage. upright. with nothing touching the terminals.

I got into the biggest fucking argument with my grandfather about this and think there must be some other dumbfucks out there in the world that believes it. my dad fucking believed it. they both refused to put it directly on the concrete. had to put some kind of plastic under it and yelled at me when I tried to remove it.

that asshole is dead but it still fucking pisses me off at how stupid he could be.

>>422786

I am now feeling a bit of anger towards them too.

Strange...

>>422786

How did they get that? If placing it on the ground would drain it then why would putting it in the car be any different?

Only people who say wd-40 is a "really bad idea" for chain lube are either hard core bikers who never tried it or armchair engineers who don't bike at all. Wd-40 works just fine.
>b-but the solvent!
The solvent evaporates, the oil doesn't. Super duper Teflon chain lube may be a little bit better, and this would be important for a TdF cyclist, but need not concern the average commuter.

Hydroponics. I am a gardener with a biologist background and I know what kind of a chemical shitstorm you have to manage if you want to create some real vegetables that way. They will, most probably, be sub-par.

It is basically lazy people trying to get into a hobby (growing) for which they are too lazy. They want to set something up and create perpetual motion machines for free for the rest of their lives. Same mentality as 17 year old kids trying to invest 1000 euros/USD/AUS and be self-sustaining for the rest of their lives. They want 'internet to do it'.

Plebs.

>>422569
"Duck" tape is actualy the original tape and was named so during ww2 because it was water resistant.

"Duct" tape is the knockoff everyone else sells.

Real ducting tape or 100 mile an hour tape is the metal tape you are talking about because it can withstand heat longer.

>>422843
It actually is based upon temperature-----. Batteries are insulated in a plastic or rubber case, so electricity leaking to the cement is not in the question. Even more so, batteries normally sit in a metal tray in a car. If battery leakage were to occur, it surely would sitting on metal.

The actual cause is temperature difference between the top of the battery and the bottom. The specific gravity of the electrolyte changes with temperature. Therefore the specific gravity of the electrolyte is less at the top of the cell and more at the bottom. As measuring the specific gravity tells the state of charge of the cell, the cell has more of a charge at the top of the cell than the bottom. This causes an internal current drain inside the plastic battery case.


All batteries will discharge no matter where they are sitting when not being used. This is called "Shelf Life". A battery will not be damaged by sitting on a concrete floor versus sitting on wood. You will just have to charge it up to use it. It should be noted that a lead acid battery will eventually sulfate the longer it is discharged. Sulfation is not fully reversible.
People who believe that a battery is ruined by sitting on a concrete floor don't realize that probably the battery was acting up to begin with and was removed from a vehicle because it was going bad. After sitting on a concrete floor for a period of time, they try to charge the battery and find it bad. Therefore the conclusion was that the concrete floor ruined the battery instead of the battery getting plain worn out from usage in a vehicle.

It is all due to temperature and nothing else.

It works absolutely fantastically for water displacement--if something that can rust and shouldn't get wet gets wet, towel it off and spray WD-40 on there. Especially useful if something with small moving parts or otherwise difficult to dry out quickly with towels/air gets wet.

Lax education and competance in the science. Always learning new stuff and disregarding stupid shit.

eg: my grandmother (whench) thought that the full moon was a random event. After showing her charts, calenders, youtube clips of phases of the moon, she was still stubborn to think she was right and everything else was wrong.

Some people are just too dumb to learn after they think they known everything.

DON'T WET electrical stuff.

Most stuff is correct, but not computer fans.

Filled with dust, shit, cum, cat fur, cigerette goo, etc. just drop them into a bucket of hot water with laundry detergent and agitate. Once clean from crap and hair not affecting rotation, remove rubber cap (or sticker) and blow dry with air compressor (including plug). One drop of light machine oil on the bearing, replace rubber cap, test and install back into computer.

No problems!

>>422786
I looked up this old wives' tale years ago and it came from WW2 era batteries before the cases were made from solid plastic. It was a tin case coated with a rubber paint like spray-on pickup bedliner.

If you set them down on concrete a few times it would scrape the coating off and the metal would rust through and the battery acid would leak out.

>>422632
>>422943
You might get away with wd-40 on a bicycle chain, but I know a guy who used it on a motorcycle chain and it was glowing red hot after several miles down the road. So that was a $300-400 mistake. It's lubricant properties are not nearly as good as it's solvent properties to get rid of whatever oil was left in the chain.

I've seen three separate people make shipping container houses on /diy/.
In all three cases, they essentially built the house around the shipping container, and the shipping container was nothing more than a metal wall that got in the way of goddamned everything and just made insulation hard as fuck.

Honourable mention goes to the faggot who built a home out of two shipping containers and made the inside decorations look like something directly out of a stereotypical kitschy Southern redneck hick-ass house. It was absolutely fucking hilarious. Everyone in the thread told him to fuck off and laughed at him, and he spent the entire time getting butthurt about it.

the only thing I trust WD40 for is forcing water out of metal places where water does not belong.

after that I wipe whatever surface it is down and apply proper lube.

However, the WD40 company makes some things that are exclusively lubricant such as their lithium or silicone sprays

Not to mention having several batteries on a hot concrete floor will tend to make some very flammable gases, hence insulating it by placing it above the concrete. makes a lot of sense in australia.

>>423481

Not really. Some batteries release flammable gases when charged, though.
One historical reason for avoiding concrete was that ye olde batteries had rather weak cases and dragging them on concrete damaged them. That doesn't really apply anymore.

> Excellent work providing a chart with unlabeled axes.

>>423290
My teachers said that too! I always annoyed me because I see the moon all the time in the day. It's pretty.

>>422963
Well I'm an environmental scientist/farmer and I call BS. Veggies/fruits/weed/whatever grown from hydroponics the correct way will always yield significantly better quality and larger quantities than in the ground.

The catch is though that unless you have a massive, energy efficient setup, it would be more cost efficient to just chuck in the ground. When growing weed however, a mix of hydroponics (to veg) and outdoors (to flower) is the best way to go if done right.

Hydroponics controls the environment and nutrients to a very specific and accurate extent, giving the plants exactly what they need, no more and no less. So I don't understand how you can say that the veggies would be subpar if grown hydroponically. That's just a really ignorant statement from someone who is supposedly from a 'biologist' background.

Getting rid of the single dollar and 2 dollar bill and replacing them with coinage would be more efficient than phasing out coins in general. My belief for this reasoning is twofold: (1) the single dollar bill is horrendous for production and get destroyed at a rate close to the production rate, while the two dollar bill is almost nonexistent. (2) there would be less random coins used by the general populace because needing less than 5 coins to add up to a 5 spot would cause many people to not consider coinage waste and save it up until they lug it to a coinstar once a month or so.

This is a trufact. Also, on any note of "ZOMG BURNING METAL" Look at a chimney stack. Start a fire in a large-dia metal pipe, then chuck in a load of fuel of all varieties you'd find in the wtc. So jet fuel, paper, wood, carpets, furniture etc and watch the thing get too hot to stand inside of ~2feet.

Years ago a drunk collegetalented /diy/erburned his dorm room up by lighting his mattress on fire smoking in bed.

There was close to a million dollars in damage to the building just from the few rooms on either side of the ignition point.

>When truthers spew bs about the melting temp of steel I wanna punch them in the face.

The problem here is there are different grades of steel which can tolerate different levels of thermal shock and weakening. and also have different thermal conductivities.

The stuff used in the Twin Towers was stuff meant to withstand impact and fuel burn, per blueprints. The stuff in dorms, apartments, etc? Crap pressed steel, barely even Bessemer-processed or alloyed with anything.

Canadian here. Replacing the dollar bill with coins saves no money.

Dollar bills do wear out, but they're also much cheaper to make than coins. Dollar coins only look good due to accounting shenanigans: governments still pretend that paper bills are redeemable notes, while coins have inherent value due to their metal content, so when they mint coins, the difference between the face value of the coins and the cost of minting them goes on the balance sheet as a profit for the government. There is no such "seigniorage" for paper bills. It's extremely silly, in fact, downright loonie.

Frankly, I think we'd be better off with a coinless economy. Does anyone like being bothered having to carry two kinds of physical money around? We don't really need change smaller than a quarter, these days. Add some quarter and half-dollar banknotes, and be done with coins entirely.

1) Typing rm-rf anything will give you a command not found message. rm -rf is your friend.
2) rm -rf ~/* will be much more satisfactory, and won't spew errors alerting the victim that shit is getting fucked up.

Car batteries used to porous because they were made of compressed rubber particles which didn't seal the acid inside completely. A small amount of acid could leak out through the bottom and establish a low-current path between cells. This would slowly drain the battery.

They were referring to long term storage, not just a few days. The generator would recharge the battery but the tray it sat in would rust to crap. Checking the battery water was a common thing thy would do for you at the gas station. Tons of people had hygrometers too st they could check the acid concentration.

Rare few girls have orgasms easily but 95% of women can have them.

This was true for old asphalt-case batteries like they had in the 20's, not modern plastic case batteries.

not doing that again. met a guy who just got out of a 39 day jail sentence. he was high as fuck and watched military vehicles move in and out of a nuclear missile base for a few hours and was arrested because he was a "threat to national security". i'm sure he left out some major details but he creeped me out

I can tell you for a fact these things are hosed down to high fuck with pesticides to kill anything and everything that could possibly be living in them, especially if they are from overseas, on a fairly regular basis. I wouldn't ever want to use them for a permanent housing solution.

>Shit ton of Square Footage

They're 8 foot wide by up to 52" long....

That's 416 Sq feet in 1 of them.
That's BARE.

You add insulation, basic things like Water/Plumbing.. Room off sections etc.. You're down to almost nothing for room.

As someone who works in a HUGE Transportation Company who sees Thousands of shipping containers a day... This is a shitty idea.
