Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Old thread hit bump limit. >>1457438

I'm assuming that is time to start a new thread. If not, let me know and I'll delete this.

I looked at my front door this morning and WTF'd when I saw this. Is this mold going to kill me? How the fuck did this happen, I live in the desert. We just had monsoons, but still don't see how this could have happened.

I guess I'm going to have to tear it off and replace it. How can I prevent this from happening again?

I’m getting an interview for a telecommunications technician apprenticeship I’m an ausfag. I have an jneterest in electrical, plumbing and carpenting. Can anyone give me insight if it’s worth doing this trade rather than waiting for something else? Also does anyone know what licence they get?

This morning I went to flip the light switch in my bathroom and it's making a crackling electrical noise and flickering lights. Any idea what would cause this, as in what went wrong with the switch? I'm at work so I can't actually look atm but I plan on replacing it tonight.

Posting this again, it was near the end of the old thread.

I want to move my PC from my desktop to the bottom shelf of my desk, but there's only 12" of clearance, and the case is 13.75" with the feet, 13.25" without (though I don't actually know that they can be removed.) I'll try to post a better picture of how the shelf is attached. But basically I'd like to lower the shelf somehow, looking for some suggestions on how. I'd rather not just put the glass on the floor or just remove the top shelf.

Each shelf is held up by two brackets like this, held in by machine screws on the bottom side of these rails. I'm thinking I could drill into the rails so the holes continue through the top, then use bolts or something to suspend the brackets? Something like that, but the full idea isn't coming to me.

I fukt up. I waxed a surface before I dyed the edges and some wax got onto the edges and I can't dye them now (I tried to do one and it's messy). What do? I don't think getting a wax remover would be worth the hassle. Is there a paint that would stick to wax? Could I try waxing it with a pigmented wax? Also, it's just a drawer so it's no disaster if I can't fix it.

>>1465881
You've given me an interesting idea by saying raise the top shelf. The issue I have with that is that I would still have to drill into the rails and use some kind of shims to raise the brackets. However, another idea that I had after you said that was to basically use the PC itself to hold up the top shelf by putting feet on top of the case. I'd still like to hear someone's idea of how exactly to lower the bottom shelf, but this is a good option.

Retarded question, don't want to create a thread just for this.

I'm repairing a pc psu faulty cable after a makeshift extension went south.

Had to cut the soldered parts of the negative cables and the extension because the solder was shit (the positives are ok). Is there a problem if they are shorter? Or should I also cut and resold the solder of the positive ones so they are equal in length to the negative cables?. The length difference is 1 cm plus/minus 2 mm

I want to build a small shed to store BBQ accessories and gardening equipment. I have an electric mower, trimmer, and blower. As long as the shed is waterproof would it be ok to store them outside or will I need to add insulation for the electronics? Where I live it's ~25-35*F overnight during the winter months. Rest of the year is 70-80*.

The chargers and batteries will be stored in my garage (insulated) where it makes more sense to keep them.

Odd question, but does anyone have any idea how to produce a coin like those that come in the pokemon TCG packs, like pic related? I'm going to be picking up some NFC stickers to make some Amiibos for Animal Crossing, and rather than slapping a printed-sticker on an NFC card or putting it in a collector coin case, I was thinking of a more elegant solution and my mind jumped to these coins.

My idea was to make a silicon or a vacuum mold in two parts, the character for heads and the amiibo symbol for tails, with the sticker embedded in the middle. I'm unsure on the makeup of the original coins though. Holding one in my hand I can't really tell if they're painted or two kinds of plastic without damaging the coin, and some even come with holofoil patterns on them.

I've got a water-based wood dye/stain. I'm bit in a hurry and want to wax it as soon as possible.

Hey, I'm wondering if there's some kind of wedge or something I can mount to a wall, and then mount something to, that I can use to take something designed to mount to the wall and extend out at a 90* angle, and instead extend out at a 45* angle.

Specifically, a projector mount like this https://www.amazon.com/Projector-Extension-Length-Universal-Mounting/dp/B01M1V3HFE I would like to be 45* mounted, not 90*.

On the left, the horizontals are bolted in, but on the right, the whole thing is one piece basically bolted in at the top. If the shelf brackets aren't attached, the right side basically could just swing around, as it doesn't touch the floor. The red, it's all one "leg," and the back leg is identical.

My bedroom smells like a squid died in it, probably because I jerk off in here multiple times a day. I want something to freshen the smell, like lighting incense, buying those glade plugins, and using fabreeze. But while it's all effective, nothing really lasts more than a day or two. It's all cheap disposable shit meant to get you to buy refills or whatever.

Are there any fragrance solutions that last more than a week? I don't want to burn through two dozen glades a month. No, I won't stop jerking off.

I literally go unconscious when I orgasm. When I come to fifteen minutes later, I immediately go back to sleep, normally napping for an hour or just sleeping for the night. I've seen doctors about it and don't want to pay more.

So my choices are either scents or not jerking off. I guess I could jerk off in the bathroom or something but that means passing out on the toilet or in the tub and I don't want to do that since my legs will go numb.

Obviously I vacuum and launder every weekend.

Ah, there goes my idea then, but raising the middle shelf the ~45mm to fit your PC in below shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I've attached a quick sketch on your image. It'd be easiest to:

- Cut some wood to size that you can paint to blend in
- Assuming the red circled fasteners are removable, place the block of wood on the top of the flat supporting member and screw into it through the holes left by the red circle things
- Use rubber pads or foam on top of the wood to stop the glass shelf sliding or scratching
- Put the shelf back in place and just be careful not to overload it

Trying to troubleshoot an indoor light fixture.

When I throw the switch, the bulb doesn't light. I throw it a couple times, it finally lights up. Or if I very slowly and deliberately move the switch from off to on, it'll light up. Then the switch and light acts normal, like it needed to be primed or warmed up first.

Switch and light socket have been replaced, no change. Only seems to happen with LED bulbs, not regular bulbs. Probably a straight forward explanation about how it's the LED bulb's electronics not liking something, but I can't formulate a clear enough question for Google to be of much use.

If you ever do drill, you can get drills that fit the quick disconnect hex adapter the screwdriver has.

There's a ridgid one too I think that's a bit cheaper, but their equivalent battery/tool lineup is not as big.

Ok, saftey glasses sure, however most of what I do doesnt need eye protection like that, however I wear glasses.

just a few minutes ago, I had an allen wrench slip out of its hole, because of how hard the shit was to turn I had a weird grip, and it hit my glasses front and center, realistically safety glasses would be perfect for this, but I can't be fucking asked to wear them over my glasses when there isn't a real risk of bodily injury.

are there any good sacrificial clip on lenses that are just clear plastic? something comfortable so if I have to wear them for half an hour or so i'm not getting pissed off and they are comfortable? I have a bunch of 3d glasses clip ons, but for the most part they work as sunglasses without being protective of light, I just want something see through.

i want to add a portable ac unit to my 20x25x10 garage because i live in the desert so that nigger gets hot as fuck even at night. it would help keep it cool when im working in there and just to keep the car cool during the day so my ass doesnt stick to the seat whenever need to leave midday. my only concern is power use, i dont wanna go bankrupt just trying to stay cool. it would be set around 75, and i would use the sleep timer to turn it off while im at work so it would only be running like 12 hours not counting when it achieves its temp and shuts off.

I’d go for it. Here in the UK, BT have set a goal (that they’ll miss) to expand 21CN all they way down to the residential lines. That is to say every phone in the UK will be a SIP UAC, and the only telecommunications equipment will be standard IP network equipment. 21CN is already IP from the exchange upwards, so no SS7 interconnects. Great news for me, since right now we can’t really sell VoIP to residential customers. But it does mean that the work of telecommunications engineer will change to something more generic over here.

You have the benefit of being a huge country, so providing an internet connection to every home is probably impossible. Which means they can’t scrap the PSTN.

price isn't going down, they clearly just don't care.
if you threaten to bring it up with the city for instance, they can choose to not do remediation to it with a (14/30) and you can take the cost of the remediation off of your next rent/payment.

reporting landlords to the city doesn't do much if they don't care.
the city will make them fix it if you're locked into a lease, but in this case, you're not locked into anything and even bringing it up makes it seem like you're a trouble tenet they're not going to want to deal with.

I inherited hundreds of these drill bits, but no idea what they are used for or if there is some tool/machine that is supposed to work best with it. All bits have this plastic collar, on them. Some collars have numbers, but no name/brand.

After drilling with some of them, the only thing I see they are useful for is to pre-drill a hole, and the collar would stop the bit from going any further.

Are these useless (they seem to short for any purpose), but maybe I could use them to pre-drill holes for wood working? (I already have countersunk drill bits for this purpose, so these wouldn't help me much for hiding screws in place.

Can you put a ceiling fan on a regular light box that (similar to) pic related would be attached to? I had a guy put in some lights and a fan prewure in my garage and he mixed up the fan and center light, so the fan would have to be like 16 inch diameter to not hit the wall.

usually there's no difference between an electrical box for a fan than for one for a light. so yes, you can probably swap them around. sometimes a box for a fan will have 2 live circuits, one each for the lamps and the fan. but if the fan has pull cords, then you dont need that.

the only thing to make sure is that the box is screwed in nicely to the beams with long screws. you might wanna add an extra screw to make sure. and be sure to support the fan using a steel wire, not just the electrical wires. other than that, it's a pretty easy job.

I thought about adding a Chinesium Solar Panel from Wish with a controller and a AGM-lead battery as a small gadget for recharging your phone, whatever.

I have never built any solar stuff, therefore my question: Is there a fire hazard in using small solar panels (if it gets damaged, shorts and so on)?

I built a couple of small electronic projects with direct current and they pose no such problems bu I do not know if solar panels differ in that regard.

I got bored and decided to test them versus wire nuts.

Strength test was first. 12g solid. Wires connected as recommended and I started hanging weight on them until they came loose. Retested 3 times and averaged.
Ideal - 68 lbs
Wire nut - 74 lbs

Hung a 25lb weight off the connection and stuck the wifes big vibrator in the middle and waited. Repeated 3 times.
Ideal - 14 min
Wire nuts - 16 min

Next test - Current
12 Gauge at 50 amps until smoking, melting, or burning happened. Repeated 3 times
Ideal - 12 min
Wire nuts - 13 min
The ideal connectors melted and cut power and cooled off before they hit the wet rags under the rig. The insert in the last wire nut test stayed connected and exposed while white hot until I finally cut power.
Finally voltage. 7,200 V at OMFG amps. Sparks are fun.....
Ideal - <1 min
Wire nuts - <1 min
Both blew apart extremely quickly. It takes me too long to recharge the transformer and nothing short of a crow bar can take the instant discharge of a 7,200V service transformer setup.

Verdict: The extra few bucks for ideal connectors is worth it if you are doing a full remodel. Dropping 1-2 new boxes or installing a fan, just use wire nuts.

I plan on retesting with stranded wire this winter. Stranded wire is harder to push into the ideal connectors.

Additionally, you didn't test the one aspect that, arguably, matters the most: Contact resistance. I'd be willing to bet the Ideals lose horrendously there, given their tiny contact area. As far as I'm aware, the only real advantage that type of connector has is in joining copper to aluminum wire (which is why the Eurofags think wire nuts are shit; they were trying to use wire nuts to join Cu/Al wire together when they explicitly say you aren't supposed to do that).

That is funny about the fan thing - when I moved into this house, the guy did an addon office. They built the fan too close to the cabinets so if they were slightly open at all the fan would hit them. The fan blades were all chewed up. The cabinet door was all chewed up. good times.

Marginally worse under half assed test conditions. The amperage test reveals contact resistance isnt a major difference or the connectors would have heated up at vastly different rates.

Give me a set of tests and I will try to do them. I have a +-2000w V/C variable power supply, a 7,200V service transformer, a shop full of random shit and the free time of a 72 year old retired electrician.

If you want to bitch and complain about Cu/Al then go somewhere else. I cant find Al to wire a house with unless I order online. Its all copper now. The Cu/Al argument only applies to houses made in the early 60s to mid 70s. The only house left from that era with Al wiring are slums and I hope they burn down. The houses had 60 amp main panels as standard, which isnt enough to support all the modern electronics. When the push in the 90s to upgrade panels happened then the Al had to be ripped out or insurance companies wouldn't underwrite the policies. 93-95 payed off both my homes and paid for my kids schools.

Got a pipe threading question. Rather, is any prep necessary before fitting them together? Using NPT for all pieces.
Most of the time, I can only get the pieces threaded halfway by hand but other times it goes all the way in. I don't want to stretch the threading since one piece is very soft metal but having the pipe not thread fully is causing some dimension/clearance issues.

Anything I should do to try to get them fitting completely instead of half-way?

Anonymous Tue Sep 25 19:34:25 2018 No.1470835

>>1470564
NPT threads are normally tapered.
If the female was tapped too deep (shut-up) or the male had the die ran too far down the pipe, the joint will look different than one closer to spec.

I don't do inside (female) threads but when cutting a male thread I look for the pipe to project only about 1/8" or so through the die. (1/2" pipe)
On larger diameters, I allow more feed through.

I know this, and every search on the subject keeps trying to tell me the same fucking thing.

I've got one female fitting that doesn't even let anything past the first thread, except for the one part that isn't being attached there. I don't have any dies to really rectify it so have to find some other way or send back parts. Was thinking of heating the female parts and cooling the male parts, but I don't think I'll be able to get them hot enough to do anything. Maybe I should do that anyway since hot coolant is going through these and some of the female threaded parts are aluminum.

Or maybe I need to stop being a dainty pussy and wrench this fuckers together.

I have no idea of what you're working on or what size pipe you're using, but you if it's really important you can buy a tap of the proper size and chase the threads on the female fittings that you're concerned about.
I have 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" taps and dies. They aren't that expensive.
For final assembly I always use a pipe dope that contains teflon (not teflon tape) which makes the final turns go easier without galling threads.

Just open the access door for the crawl space and look inside.
If it looks and 'feels' dry under there then it may just be an external problem.
I was just suggesting you check it before doing a lot of work that wouldn't solve the problem.

For the peeling paint, just use a stiff wire brush to remove the loose stuff and repaint with high quality outdoor paint.
The block/brick is more serious and looks like either impact damage or freeze damage.
Any concrete that can be moved with a screwdriver or other small tool should be removed completely and a permanent repair made.
There are numerous ways to replace missing concrete areas. Just google it or check with an actual expert.
The cracks will have to be filled to prevent more damage.

How do I go about enlarging this hole?

This thing is a metal bracket that holds a drawer. You're supposed to line up the holes and bolt it on, but said holes don't line up. I need to extend the holes in the area I colored in with a sharpie (sorry for the crappy picture, this isn't exactly an easy subject)

Anyway, the thing's made of 1/16" steel, so I suspect getting a file or something small enough to fit through that hole and then grinding is likely to be difficult. I don't want to just saw through the side if I can avoid it, since I need to make sure the bolt (even with a washer on it) has something to bite down on. A reamer would be good if the hole was where it needed to be but just had to be larger, but it isn't where it needs to be, I need to remove material only on the top of the hole. And I have a dremel, but a cut-off wheel is way too large to fit in that hole, I'd have to slowly try to grind away material from the top, or just wear down the disc until its almost gone.

whats the correct way to do this that I'm too stupid to see here?

I have a Dremel and a Craftsman Professional. Tbqhwy, the Dremel is probably from like 2000 and hasn’t seen much use but it goes hard when I do use it. The Craftsman is probably a couple years older than that.

I use the Craftsman more but that’s only because it’s right there in my tool box while the Dremel is in a carrying case on the shelf. The Dremel might be better but I never felt like the Craftsman Pro wasn’t getting the job done. They’re both 120v variable speed.

I'm gonna build a house.
I don't have a lot of money, and I live in a cold-ish climate (North-Eastern Europe).
I was thinking about buying a plot of land and building a 2 story 40 sq meter A frame on a pile foundation heated by wood + well + septic tank, and then, as I save more money, to build a proper house.

My questions are, is there any point in building an A frame first? Would it be significantly cheaper compared to a normal cinderblock/foam concrete house on a proper foundation when insulation is factored in? Also, how long could the foundation/basement for a proper house survive without being heated and having the house on top? Would it be possible to build the foundation, wait a winter, and then build a house without compromising the foundation? Winters hit -35c here easily, and there's a lot of snow and rain and such.

MIG is not as easy to use for aluminum, at least you usually need a special spool holder. But really the major difference between TIG and MIG is the speed vs precision. MIG is fast and somewhat messy, TIG is pretty slow even if you git gud, but you can do really neat work with it. Titanium is not for MIG, though it's not completely impossible. Also Argon is pretty expensive compared to CO2, so the process itself is more expensive (but MIG welding aluminum still needs Argon anyway).

this is the correct method. sometimes there is a weird security thing where the images wont show up.

>but says there are no files on the drive

show me a screenshot. you might need to close the window, then open the photos on the ipad, and then reopen the drive in windows.

You could also be having a driver issue. a bad USB cable, etc etc. if you google around you will see this is a common problem.

I personally have this problem and the solution is: log into phone / plug in phone / open drive on PC.

Tried on someone else's laptop and it did the same thing. I think it has to do with permissions on the ipad (it's not mine). We downloaded imovie and I was able to clip (as opposed to crop LOL) the movie to make it smaller. Unfortunately now it says there is not enough space remaining on the device, so I will have to contact the system administrator to obtain permission. I tried sending the original file in an email...too large, via dropbox...can't find the apple store (or whatever it's called...probably due to permissions), tried sending via mail big file...file was too big. I've contacted the admin and am waiting for reply. Thanks guy for your help!

roofer here, i would not recommend doing this alone or without talking to some people who have shingled before.

you could do it for about half what youre getting quoted even after buying tools, but it is an incredibly tedious and dangerous job, especially on steep slope(shingled) surfaces. you need safety gear, you need sound anchor placement and fasteners, you need sound toeboards, you need to know what to see and feel for rotted decking so you dont fall through(seen bad steps that made guys asshole pucker up good), you need to be able to tear out and replace 4x8 boards of osb that have any weakening at all from moisture/rot. you need to know how to trim them for breathing clearance and get them on the roof. you need to not fall in the holes you make replacing boards(seen it). do not attempt this project without at least another person hanging out nearby. accidents happen.

When testing the difference between a bathroom faucet and the metal casing exposed on one of the USB ports (with charger plugged in different outlet) I got a reading of 0.1-0.2 on 200 ACV, does that sound like normal leakage or a grounding problem with the charger?

Can you grind using both the radial edge and the face of a depressed centre abrasive grinding wheel (pic related), on an angle grinder?

I know you should never face grind with thin cut off wheels, but there seems to be mixed opinion online about this for grinding wheels.

Is it also different for flat grinding wheels as opposed to the depressed centre ones?

Someone gave me a post for a table (no top included) and I want to make a top for it. it's just a post with 4 legs supporting it.Pic related, I want to make an octagon that slips over the top of the post (they're the same shape) and put 4 bolts through horizontally to secure it. The spars, however, are giving me trouble. I have a jigsaw and unlimited discounted lumber(work at Home Depot) but I'm afraid screwing through the inner side of the octagon into the edge of the plywood would split it. I'm also afraid of the spars being flimsy and letting the tabletop wobble. Short of using ugly Simpson ties, how could I join the plywood to the center sleeve so it's sturdy? Should I go with pine boards instead of plywood?

My second question is something I tried googling but didn't really get a good answer and I'm still uncertain. I'm planning on gluing 1x3 pine boards together lengthwise then cutting a circle out with my jigsaw, but I don't know if I should route a lap to strengthen it. Every guide I see says gluing is enough but I don't want to be sitting at the table and just have it split all of a sudden.

Here's an idea I just came up with, the orange face would be up against the outer face of the octagonal shape. There would be a wood block on either side of the spar I just didn't put one on the opposite side. two screws running into the spar would secure each block, then the adjacent face would have a screw going through perpendicularly to attach the spar to the sleeve. This means each spar has two screws securing it. If you're wondering why I don't just attach the spars directly to the post, the faces of the post aren't very wide. Making this sleeve that slots over it gives me more room to secure the spars. Does anyone have any better ideas? I'm surely overthinking this.

Again my primary concern is sturdiness but ability to take it apart easily would be nice.

Hey people.
My girlfriend has this really great animal called chinchilla for a year now and the fucker stared eating himself out of his cage bottom made out of durable plastic.
So i promised her that i'll make a new and bigger cage for the animal. (I'm not gonna shell out 300$s for a new cage sry) Thing is, i've read on forums that thse cunts can get really sick from certain types of wood.
I got lots of europalettes laying around and i've also read up that most of europalettes are made out of poplar or pine around where i live which is safe(only kiln dried pine is safe not air dried).

Is making a new cage out of this material safe for these animals or should i just not work with it to be safe? I mean if there is no other option then i'll buy a cage for him, because shelling out money for the right wood would put me on the same amount as a new one.
Any experiences with this?

If the thing chewed through the plastic, he will probably go through wood even faster. And aren’t pallets treated with some chemicals?

I used to have a chinchilla named Cheech who would drink my bong water. If its male, dont freak out the first time you catch him giving himself a blowjob.

Dont use pallet wood. Dont use pine or poplar. All of these are treated to be water/rot resistant and it will fuck up the soft little dude. If you are set on using wood, spring for some walnut or locust, they are hard enough to last awhile.The best thing I found was to take the plastic bottom and coat the inside with white school glue then line it with aluminium foil. Every 2nd or third time you clean out the cage, replace the foil. Also give the fluffy ball something to chew on.

As long as the pallete is marked with HT only, then it's just been heat treated with no chemicals involved. If it says MB don't work with it or burn it, just dispose of it safely. Same if it's painted red or blue... Like other anons said tho, if it's chewing plastic, wood won't help.

TL;DR: DIY glass still wat do?

Looking at making my own spirit still.
been looking around and reading for a while.
I think i want to go with chemistry glassware.
Small, easy to dismantle and I can buy all the bits pretty cheap on ebay.

The batches won't be big, but its more about the craft and experimentation than the cheap booze.

Thinking vigreux column and graham condencer, as they seem most suited and look cool.
I'd like to have a valve for some secondary on the pot of the column to have adjustable reflux.
this can all be added later of course, given the modular nature of lab glassware.

what lengths of column and condenser should i look at?
410mm graham condenser is actually pretty cheap. i don't think anything bigger would help.
but for the column i'm unsure. 200/300/400mm? a combination of those stacked on top of eachother?
Some say the longer the better, but only to a point... they never specify what point, I guess it varies.

I'm a circuithead not a labguy. so I'm not sure about these things
though I think I might pid regulate the hotplate.. should be easy, but is it necessary or even helpful?

I might also want to add a "botanicals" chamber on top of the column, to make gin and other stuff.

seems to me that vigreux are more available than straight tubes that I could pack.
could I pack a vigreux column? those droplet shapes would give me trouble getting stuff out, i think.
people seem to pack with all sorts of things. copper mesh, ceramic baking beans etc. what do you think is good?

assuming I went with just vigreux columns,no packing how tall would you go?

like i said, I can always buy another and stack them if I find it inadequate, but I'd like to get some opinions before i get to shopping.

Heat treated pine and poplar is okay most of the vids and articles said, also i can't really get anything else where i live.

Anyone know of an entry level injection molding setup? I see lots of do it yourself molder but honestly they look like theyd make a mess.

My goal is to make PETG / Nylon water tanks of approximately 36x15x10 in diameter. 3d printing is not an option due to size and lots of bridging.

The inverter goes between your batteries and the AC load its powering.

basically the pipes to my second floor bath tub leak into my first floor living room. Found this out the hard way the other day, tub was on for about 5 minutes when i heard what sounded like a heavy rain and ran down to see water falling from the lightbulbs

spent a few hours doing what I could to minimize the problem, and after a couple days of leaving the windows open/running fans the carpet and furniture were completely fine. Waited a few more days to make sure the bulbs were dry before replacing them and turning the lights on to find no problems there either.

My question here is if it's reasonable to believe that there could still be some water damage done to my first floor ceiling, be it the possibility of mold in the future or if the electrical fixtures may be fucked up despite working fine right now. Anyone been in a similar situation

Whos ur insurance for ur house most of the time if you just start the claim process you can get some one out to check the extent of the damage even if you dont decide to do anything and the insurance will eat the fee. Otherwise call around to water restoration companys and ask for an inspection just dont agree to anything lots will do it for free just to get their foot in the door

Are tankless heaters as dangerous as the warning sticker claims? My old houses had gas water tanks and I've never blown up the garage from gas vapor, even when my bike was leaking from the tank and I just had it dripping into a bucket. My new home has a gas tankless heaters, and the warning sticker says to never store flammables close by and not to store gas in the same room as the pilot will ignite the fumes. Surely this is just legal ass covering right?

I think its like the labels at gas stations to touch metal objects to reduce static build up or even not to run ur car while filling up. Its not gonna happen but it can happen i wouldnt store gas near it cause on the .001 chance it can happen thats like rolling dice every day of something going wrong wont be an issue if you do it for a few days but shit happens over time if you store gas next to it for years.

I figured. It's surrounded by water purification equipment anyway and I wouldn't store brake clean/gas/alcohols near a gas burner if there was room to. I was just concerned because I like to tinker with engines which means gas which means vapor.

How many layers of wax would you put on a daily use furniture (computer desk)? I know most people wouldn't put wax on that but I really wanted to. Now I'm at ~5-6 layers and I'm wondering if any more brings any merit. I've heard that in medieval ages they would put on 1 layer daily for a month.

I would not, it just makes me consider whether any more layers than 5 make sense.
I actually have some spots that are a bit less shiny than the rest (pic related) and I'm wondering if putting another coat would help with that (or maybe it's the matter of what's underneath or perhaps of the way I put the wax on).

There're a lot of edible varieties of mushroom that grow around where I live. They're pretty alright in pasta or just as padding for the bachelor-chow slop I subsist off of for the most part as a grad student, and I've yet to accidentally kill myself thanks to the availability of various identification guides on loan from my university library.

I've heard it's fairly simple to clone mushrooms from tissue samples in agar and then grow them at home; kinda like a vegetable garden, but moist, dark, and unsettling. What're some good beginner resources on that stuff?

Its gotten cold enough that I need to turn on the heat. The furnace will come alive and blow out hot air for a while but eventually it shuts off and only randomly starts at times for equally random duration. The temperature in the house never reaches the temperature that I set on the thermostat. Is this a problem with the thermostat or the furnace itself? What do?

My neighbor is running some conduit through a brick wall to supply electricity to an outdoor hot tub. He wants to know if once the conduit is through the concrete and is up into the floor joist, must the conduit continue or can he just run plain sheathed cable at that point?
