#15 a couple of those are decent ideas. I like the fork trick for hanging a picture. I like the tape trick for installing hooks to hang picture. The wood frame behind the couch is a neat idea if your couch backs up to the wall (I'd paint/stain/seal.... maybe). Pool noodle around the laundry is pretty clever but looks ghetto. Toilet paper rolls on the drapes is actually a good idea.

In shop class in high school, the teacher was very clear that anyone wearing loose clothing around power tools/industrial machines is just stupid. You can't design away human stupidity. It's like that guy was trying to get caught in a machine.

Because the coating on fridges are sometimes porous making it difficult to remove what's written.

#13 If you're wondering, this machine oscillates faster in one direction than the other. In this case, it rotates more slowly in the counter-clockwise direction, then abruptly rotates in the clockwise direction. The friction between the material and the spiral surface is overcome due to Newton's 1st law of motion, allowing the spiral to slide under and back. Think of a shovel full of sand that you pull back on suddenly, causing the sand to slide off.

You watched the employee do that to himself. I'm not saying you're wrong about republicans, i'm saying it was just a matter of time before that guy got caught in a machine, regardless of regulations.

3 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

No fuck that and fuck you. It was a lapse in judgment, sure. That doesn't mean you deserve to get your arm ripped off or worse.

Every machine like that needs an emergency shut off, because something like this WILL happen.

We live in a civilized society, despite Republicans trying to constantly rip it apart. Civilized societies believe in things like safety and the value of life. Put a fucking shut off on it.

I didn't say he deserved it. I said it's a moot point. Safety regulations and design are certainly important, but humans will always find a way around them.

My granddad is the reason my state recognizes a difference between prefab homes and mobile homes. His HOA was being a massive bitch about him having a prefab built instead of it being stick built and tried to use the "no mobile homes" clause of the HOA agreement to force the issue.

My grandparents bought and built a Sears Robuck home. Built it on a lot in Laguna Beach way at back when. It's still in the family and everyone pitches in to keep it alive and updated. It's actually on a walking tour. One tiny bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Hot as hell in summer, cold as Dickens in winter. We love it.

Alternate story: Inside there is a single mother who is terrified of her abusive X and had the security door installed. Cops respond to an anonymous call and do this to her property without a warrant. They find a tiny single use amount of cannabis and call themselves heroes. None of the damage is paid for. The single mother is now living in a shelter.

friction and momentum, move slowly in one direction and items are carried with it by static friction. rapidly move back in the other direction using the objects inertia to make them slide along, then repeat. you can use this to easily get pringles out of a can by holding it sideways and you won't have to reach into the can.

3 months ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

it might not be static friction at this speed, but the key is to move slower in the direction you want things to move, letting them gain more momentum from friction than they lose as you quickly move the mechanism back.

3 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

near the end you can see some start rolling, which reduce friction too much, so they added a wad of paper or something to block the rolling.

I'm sure there are many parts they could have sold, but this is faster.
I've read about people who purchase and strip used cars.
They end up making the minimum wage.
Of course, I've also read that of people who fix up and flip homes.

It’s not a great money-maker if you do it on a small scale, but doing it in a large yard where cars are stripped professionally and parts are labelled and stored indoors can be a good business- here’s a place in Ireland that break everything from tiny shopping cars to Ferraris: https://www.traynors.co.uk

#2 Technically, this isn’t welding. Lead is being melted as filler between two pieces, but the joint isn’t strong. Welding, by contrast, melts the surrounding metal itself to fuse the parts.

#19 Deployable houses do exist. They are not 19k. They are also often very cheaply made and have massive issues with basic things like being air and water tight, and that doesn't even start on getting utilities hooked up.

Yup. Any foldable/ movable joint is a potentially catastrophic point of failure, and your ability to run plumbing through them is basically nonexistent.

Idk how much they are rn but this video is from a few years ago, other then that idk how old exactly. they are more or less used for bunk houses in remote areas of work like for lumber jacks, but most of the time they just reuse old shipping containers for lodgings. As for the air and water tight part I feel like you can just use some caulk to seal the edges.

The *outside* edges. One problem with these is that water ingress rots/rusts the insides out. By the time you notice, it's already scrap.

Closed cell sprayfoam. It's not as bad as you think.

3 months ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Iirc its not acceptable as the main waterproofing. It's a vapor barrier, but direct water contact is not advised. Tbh, if ypu do everything to code, you're just building part of the house with third party products. If that is required to make it draft or water tight, then it should be included in the kit.

3 months ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

your comment referenced temperature and cost to heat/cool. that's what i was responding to, not the waterproofing. Although closed Cell is water impermeable.
