yes

Burt brings up a good point. I mean we’re just asking stupid questions here and not insinuating ang faction in world war 2 committed any crimes

Or even modern day…. Well except Israel we know they committed a ton of crimes since October of last year

Do you have a Heuer vise? Do the threads on the spindle look similar? Or have you ever seen acme threads with this sort of finish?

I was surprised, but I figure it doesn't matter for G acme threads. I assume this is a manufacturing shortcut. The thread flanks are smooth, and it feels fine, running it in & out.

But man, that looks shitty.

the internet is just other peoples computers
you pay to use the infrastructure that someone else has installed to connect to those other computers.
big infrastructure companies have agreements to connect to each other for no charge because it benefits them both.
if you had some awesome web service that customers would literally change isp in order to use, then all the isps would offer to connect with you for nothing in order they keep their customers. thats basically it.

That's exactly the problem I was referring to. It's a mass-adoption issue. Even if I could figure out how to transmit the signal straight through the Earth to Australia, it wouldn't be useful unless I could get enough people to adopt it. And most people would rather pay a subscription fee for a more convenient internet that doesn't require the transceiver antenna to pan and tilt every time you want to connect to another computer. And that's not even including how much people would pay for the electricity needed to power the thing.

Buy too much fertilizer in a year and you get a visit by the feds. They will inspect and compare inventory with what was purchased.

Illegal to install yourself in most areas without paying for permits or have a licensed installer and be inspected at multiple points during the setup.

Fun note: you can transmit text and images over HAM radio for free. Close to 300 baud modem speeds, but can be done.

>>2795678
Don't try and desolder components by taking all the solder off the pads. Just liquify the solder and pull the component off with tweezers.

If you're working with ICs use a hot air gun or short all the pads with silver solder then melt and pull off. If you're working with through-hole parts use a vacuum desoldering pump or snip the leads, liquify, and pull the remaining lead out of the hole with needle-nose pliers or tweezers.

>>2795681

also chipquik, which is usu for chips but ok for other parts

>>2795678
Get a Yihua 929D, if not a proper desoldering iron with a vacuum pump and temperature control. They work great, if a tad tedious.

There’s also the strategy of running thick solid core wire next to all the pads so you can reflow them all at once, but it’s eve more of a pain. Those extra wide soldering tips might be good for this.

>>2795681
These aren’t that reliable, often there’s just not enough room to fit them between the pad and the lead.

>>2795678
melt the solder then quickly whack the board. the whole blob will come flying out, and you can just pluck the leg off of the via.

Blade:

Andis CeramicEdge Carbon-Infused Steel Pet Clipper Blade, Size-50SS, 1/125-Inch Cut Length (64355)

These work on Andis, Conair, Oster and Wahl. I forget when da wife bought the first blade many years ago but I bought a second in 2018 and that's done weekly military-style buzz cutting since.

I have the Andis clipper which survived many doggos (they got coarser blades) but the blade is more key than the clipper if you get a good one.

Your response is unnecessarily abrasive. The suggestions I was looking for did not have to relate to the radios I purchased. I'm just asking if there is anything within the hobby that might come up on my job that I can look into or research. I am trying to find something interesting that connects to my work.

continue to ignore a literally who

watching the post apoc inventor tool up his entire shop with scrap was inspiring but there really isn't a way to pull that off in the states.
the best we have is ebay, yard sales, and charity shops and those all cost more than the price of scrap by weight even if you buy nonfunctioning tools with the intent on fixing them.

>>2794555
Any city generates enormous amounts of scrap. Most people never notice because they don't bother to learn how to find things. Consider all the spoonfeed questions in this board from people to lazy to learn effective information searching despite tens of thousands of hours on the net.

>>2795469
>but there really isn't a way to pull that off in the states.

It's done constantly (as I and other anons do) but if you don't know what's out there it will seem barren. Every developed country generates vast amounts of scrap and surplus. Methodical searching is how the same set of Serious People get stuff. Industrial auctions and estate sales by shop owners are often online.

Be willing and prepared to travel. For example my county is so advantageous to live in because it's poor and I've a middle class income, but the tradeoff is low frequency of good auctions and sales so self and bro drive in a three hour radius for what we want. Business buyers range MUCH further and travel interstate to equip their factories and shops.

Study auction sites and get notified by email of upcoming sales. Own at least a half-ton pickup with suspension mods (my F150 rocks Timbren urethane springs, Hellwig add-on leaves, and coilover rear shock because they were handy). I did that to fit a Tommy Gate (cheap used, simple, easy to install with the factory adapter plates or fab your own) which makes trucks vastly more useful. Own basic rigging gear, manual and electric winches, tiedowns etc and a dual axle car trailer though it's worth knowing hydraulic drop deck trailers are rentable.

Self and bro search Fecesbook daily and nighly because getting there first gets bargains. I never turn off my PC so I just leave useful tabs open on one workspace (xfce FTW). Craiglist sux but is worth searching because like trade papers at convenience stores it does get some traffic.

It takes money in hand to get bargains. I carry enough for at least an "earnest money" deposit (get a receipt) so if something pops up I don't need to find a bank and can buy opportunistically. No one can see inside your wallet unless you show it off so I carry about a grand in cash. It may sit there six months but it pays off nailing unanticipated deals at yard sales etc. Sellers hate turning down cash.

>>2793993
Those are lawn decorations. No waste there.

>>2795526
Based. I search facespace, craigslist and all the regular nationwide and local auction listings any chance I get. Not usually looking for anything in particular, but rather anything that catches my eye near my area usually (125 miles or so).

I usually only carry a couple hundred at most with me at any given time, but I'm also never more than 30 minutes from home or a phone call away from the wife at home so i can grab any cash from there I would ever need quickly and easily.

>Craiglist sux
I still have pretty good luck on there. Just last week I scored a 60hp deutz diesel out of an air compressor. Guy was selling it for $800.

Was crazy busy on the farm drilling in seed ahead of water and didnt want to make the 2 hour round trip to go pick it up. Luckily I had some hay customers coming down from there and passing right by the guys place so I had them pick it up for me and I knocked $100 off the price of their hay. The old man selling it said there were some controls and stuff that went with it if I wanted so I said sure send em down. He sent an entire tow behind compressor along with the engine!

I have a tiny little FPV drone, and I wish it had a longer transmission range and didn't get blown around in the wind. Is there a decent pre-built FPV drone or noob-friendly parts kit I can get for under $200, or is a DJI Mini the best value I'm going to get in an RTF?

>>2795538
what drone/goggles/controller do you have? you could just put a stronger video VTX on it.
there's many quads under 200$.

you can make another mold from the plaster positive, then make as many duplicates as you want in plaster or whatever; that'll definitely capture the fine detail. I think you could use alginate like in your picture but AFAIK that works best for skin molds, but it degrades quickly after that, and it's better to use silicone or something else for copying objects. there's probably a specific material to use for copying plaster, if you search around.

If you want a digital copy, you can get good enough detail with lots of pictures from a phone camera and free software to extract a 3d model. It won't as fine as the mold or a 3d scan, but you'll still have surface detail in the texture (from the photos), same as any other 3d model.

>>2795702
Thanks anon, definitely a devastating turn we didn’t expect.

>>2795706
Thanks that makes sense, is that a silicone mold being made in your image? I didn’t think about doing two halves like that.

>>2795708
I think so. smooth-on actually has a bunch of decent info on making molds of various sorts, could look through it for plaster https://www.smooth-on.com/howto/basics-mold-making/?tags=video-tutorial .

also if you do the photogrammetry thing, meshroom on https://alicevision.org/ is what you want, you can find more detailed tutorials too if you need it. I have used it and while you need a lot of pictures, it is free to try.

>>2795645
yes of course, I use it on basically everything in the brake/rotor/driveline area since it gets blasted by salt, sand and whatever else, but the screws in the OP aren't actually necessary at all.

>>2795611
The alleged "redpill" is in many cases that they're just retaining screws for easier assembly at the factory and don't actually need to be replaced after drilling the fuckers out the first time, the caliper and lugs do a fine job holding the rotor in place. But I'm a sucker for factory repair manuals, so Mr. P.B. Blaster and his friend Dr. Bernzomatic [usually] own my rusted ass.

Stack rocks as high as you want. Mortar is optional

You literally just stack rocks on top of each other, what's the difficulty here? Your ancestors figured this out on their own.

>>2795640
if i was tasked with it, i'd do them as precast panels flat on the ground. build forms out of 2x4s on edge 2ft by 8 or 10ft. flop them down on visqueen and put a piece of medium hog wire midplane for reinforcement. fill 3/4 up with concrete and bed your rocks.
layout your wall with deadheads at the panel joints. set the panels and bolt them to the stanchions. backfill the wall with dirt and roberts your mothers brother

>>2795686
Do I need rebar anywhere, or just mesh? or a thin rebar matrix. The wall will be 30 feet long, can I work one base layer at a time and work my way up, then cap it off with cut stones?
Also, every guide says to use a drainage pipe with the holes facing downwards. Don't I want them pointing up at an angle (or in every direction for that matter) so water can seep from the dirt into the pipe and redirected out to the yard? Do i have to lay the pipe on a downward slope too?

>>2795693
>rebar
generally you use as much steel as your willing to spend money on. a grid of #3 bar might be less than hog wire
>build upwards
i meant precast the panels as a facade piece to lean up against bulkheads cut back into the terrace. make the panels as big as you have equipment to move and place
>drain pipe
i've only ever put in the perforated plastic tile. i'd wager holes on the bottom would be to keep the pipe from filling with dirt. water only flows downhill and has to go somewhere, so plan out drainage accordingly
