The vast majority have extremely hard water. Talking like 85 to 90 percent. Almost all domestic water sources have high concentrations of dissolved minerals and it's simply too expensive to remove especially in the volume levels municipalities are dealing with.

As much as I agree, there are no small homes/apartments left that they want to sell. Everything is a mcmansion or jumbo family sized.

that's entirely based on your geographic area
some places naturally have hard water and some don't

>>2797971
They all suck because hard water ruins them and almost all municipal water supplies use hard water to save money. You can't ameliorate the problem by using higher quality fixtures.

>Use an oil base primer, then a ceiling flat
I haven't seen any oil primers nor paints specific for ceilings at the store.
I've watched multiple videos on how to do this before starting but the paint simply behaves differently.
It's so thick I can only paint 1 square meter at a time but both the clerks and the instructions say that's ready to go and not to dilute it.
And even when I did it didn't change much.

It's not latex, it's water based paint.
I'm using a similar technique but I always go in the same direction, I found alternating patterns doesn't really do anything.
But it's definitely important to have the final coat parallel with the light source.

oh by the way, it was really fucking successful, barely any plants eaten whatsoever. i thought more might get them in the night but it seems like only ONE plant was attacked by one snail.

I have had some medium amount of success with beer traps, however, they always get past them, you can't surround a whole bean plant with beer traps, well i mean you can but man, that's too much beer to waste.

It got moved to elsewhere in the OP github. And by that I mean I forgot to add it anywhere and it's only in the "oldOP.txt" file. Here:
https://buster-spb.ru/files/SAFT/li-ion_user_manua.pdf
It's a bit of an odd document, as it specifically refers to Saft's own lithium cells, so it may be hard for noobs to apply it to other cells. Especially high current RC lipos, which will have quite different maximum current ratings for charge and discharge. It's probably worth looking for a better existing document to direct people to, or I could try writing one myself.

>>2801530
this hurts me
sometimes i can still get really into projects and spit them out quick
but man i burn out when it doesn't go well

>But its kinda expensive to buy without certainty its what im looking for
>dont want to turn this into a multiyear project
For either method, you'd almost certainly want to find an existing solution that you can learn from. What hardware is it going to be programmed for? Just an MCU, or can you offload it to a computer that would be taking the data either way? Computer implementations are probably more complicated to get the low-level comms going, but they're more likely to have existing solutions for flight sim and VR reasons respectively. For MCU implementations, you may have luck with ardupilot and similar UAV projects (or self balancing-robots) using an MPU for inertial navigation, while LED detection with openCV on an ESP32 is probably also something that's been done.

Get a job they said. Your hobby will always remain your hobby they said.

They're not invisible, retard. They're hidden in barns that are conveniently right next to every 'solar' farm.

Does this have a soft start built into it? I would think turning on 2 large motors simultaneously would trip the breaker too often to be useful.

Already a thing, I know the Festool vacs do it and you can also buy inexpensive box things (kinda like a power strip) that you plug both the vac and tools into and it'll run the vac automatically when the tool is drawing.

With my groundwater temperature I can do that for about 20 seconds before I can't feel my thumb anymore

> corded shop vac.
Here’s a brilliant idea:
Put a outlet on the shop vac itself!
Not just any outlet, one that senses if the thing plugged into it is using power, and when it senses so, turn on the vac automatically!
Also have another outlet for for lighting and whatnot that doesn’t trigger the vac.
Fuck, why do I have to think of everything.

America's a little too concerned with policing the world and wasting money trying to elect conmen than construct cool shit.
