Expensive weekend  AC Repair, it has been a year with no AC or Central Heat  Electrician to fix circuit that stopped working and quote running electrical in garage for woodshop. To bring it up to code and drop two new circuits would be $6200, so much for that idea in the near future.  Tire carrier for my Jeep since tire won't fit on stock carrier and I want it out of the back seat.  Last real bottleneck on my desktop needed to be resolved.  Needed a new pistol for carry and home.

I have no use for it and I might replace the main spring plug with a flush one. I don't plan to use it for competition/play John Wick so it doesn't bother me too much.

After I broke the LCD I wanted to take it apart and had never seen that type of screw before. I got it open with a baseball bat...

chitoryu12 posted:If you're an alcoholic, Belgian-style beers are a much better option. They're more expensive per unit, but you can find alcohol contents upwards of 10% ABV so it only takes hammering a few bottles instead of an entire six-pack and it tastes much better. If you're an alcoholic you know that you cant get a buzz off beer so drink it for the taste while sipping on a flask.

On Friday, I decided I wanted night vision gear and made an offer of $90 on a monocular with a gen 2 tube that was listed for $100 and it was accepted. We're almost into triple digit temperatures on the CT coast and upstate in Hartford it hit 108 today, so I ordered an evaporative cooling vest and headband made by Ergodyne. I'm sure I'll look like a huge dork, but I almost passed out from the heat when mowing the lawn a couple of weeks ago and I'd rather not die. Almost hit triple digits lol

Is it that noticable between 98 (what my car reads in FL after sitting in the July sun all day) and 140? 140 is like, hey why does anyone, how can anyone, even live here?  It is noticeable, when high 90s at night feel cool compared to the 120-130 with heat index of the daytime. Isn't this the second time this thread derailed into weather in past few weeks? I bought a bunch of wood and one of these. Should work better than a disposable.

I helped jump someones car at a Walmart not to long ago. Handed him the leads to put on his battery as I hooked up mine and when I turned around his battery was smoking and my cables were turning white. He had the colored terminal pads backwards on his battery and connected the hot to ground and vice versa I looked at him and just said, "well they sell new batteries inside" and left. A jump starter is nice for emergencies but I would also invest in a trickle charger. The reason why most batteries dont last long after a jump is the alternator doesn't run long enough to charge the battery to full capacity.

Coffee And Pie posted:Should I drop acid during the intermission? It takes about 30 minutes to fully kick in so you probably want to adjust accordingly. For best effect you should drop as you leave for the theater and by the time you are in your seat for the beginning of the movie it hits you. About 1-1.5 hours in is the peak so you will be fully engaged with the movie for the last half. I have done a lot of research on this subject in my youth.

I bought this today to press air bubbles out of resin as it cures. For turning on a lathe.  Also a couple of these to test RFID chips with. Now I just need a HID with Wiegand and I think I can setup any type of chip.

1redflag posted:Neat; are you going to make RFID-enabled tabled or something? I feel like you have some cool hobbies/projects that people would be interested in reading about. RFID stuff is for embedding chips into wood/metal hybrid rings and laser etched leather bracelets/watch bands. Need the read/writers connected to Arduino for copying existing cards/tags and eventually adding into my home automation for door locks. The Wiegand encryption is what most HID corporate card readers use ("its secure" lol) so I can clone someones employee badge if they want one. I also hope to tie the chips into tap/wave pay and be able to unlock devices. Might be a long shot but having "one ring to rule them all" so to speak, that opens car door/keyless start car, opens home/work doors with wave of hand, unlocks computer when hands are above keyboard, unlocks phone when you pick it up, etc. However I have a feeling its going to end up being a Thanos gauntlet with all the different RFID chips  The pressure pot is for making resin hybrid blanks for turning projects. Mainly Spheres and other decorative art pieces. On the list is a vacuum chamber (using a communal one, but each run is 24h in the chamber) for creating stabilized wood blanks. You can add dye and powders to both the resin and stabilizing juice to give different colors and effects to the pieces. Other projects in various states of completion are; never ending Home Automation system, Android app controlled mini submarine with camera, Android app controlled floor mopper/detailer (based on a remote control one I built in HS like 20 years ago), IN 16 Nixie clock, wooden stem wine glass with brass inlay (inlay keeps popping out while I am filing it down), spiral turned candle holder, 3d Laser scanned part I am fixing in Fusion 360 for 3d printing in either SLA or ABS, 2 Bookcases, coffee table/end tables, and bedroom set. On the list of things to learn by the end of the year is metal forging/welding/milling both CNC and by hand. I also just found a source for $4 4"x12"x9' live edge planks of cedar so probably a resin/wood river table. And picking up a busted microwave in a few days for the transformer to make Lichtenberg figures into wood  and have a plan to make a humidor with some of the cedar and oak outside with the Lichtenberg design on it. I need more power to capture them in resin so now I am also researching Van De Graaff generators.

Sexual Lorax posted:Pi is fun. ESP8266 is fun. Home automation is fun. How are you handling power? Just skinny black cords running down walls? Yeah I am in no ways a programming wiz, more of a reverse engineer others code till it works for me. Its a lot of researching code libraries and then piecing it all together. As for the communication I have been playing with Blynk and like it a lot. Easy app to use and it provides a lot of function from video streams to alerts on phone. I am also putting together a server to host Blynk on as well as the Pi communication and camera streams. For outdoor power I am toying with the idea of small solar panels and battery backups since the sensors don't need much, indoors will probably run them through the walls to outlets. But then again I said that about my A/V cables too and they have been running down the walls for like 6 months now  I do plan to make custom enclosures in Fusion360 and then 3d print/laser cut them for a nice clean look in the end so will probably run all the wires then.

OniPanda posted:It’s really fuckin easy to do most things you want to do with an arduino or pi with very little programming knowledge. That’s arduino’s target market, and both arduino and pi have so many people developing stuff for them, there’s code all over the internet. Its what makes open source so great, those with a lot of knowledge can trickle down so other can learn. I would say you do need to have a basic understanding of how a program works cause a lot of the code out there is not so much copy, paste, upload. But if you told me to sit down with a blank window and write the code I wouldn't know where to begin, give me something and I can follow what its doing and modify it to work.

Amazon started to ship fake packages to see if their carriers are stealing them. If they mark it as delivered and it wasn't they got an empty box (or with trash for weight) and fired.
