>baling twine
believe it or not, i once fixed a crt tv with it (back in the nineties). channel switcher was loosey-goosey sometimes the tv wouldnt get any reception (solder joints between channel switch daughter board and main pcb broken). i was out of solder so i just strapped some of that twine around the daughter board pcb and tied the other end to the bottom of the case insides, making sure it stayed somewhat tight.
completely forgot about it the next day (was supposed to go get some solder to properly fix that) till the crt broke for good about 5 years later or so. good times

>>1023631
that's an earth rail, isn't it? how come only one of the nuts is red-hot while the others seem fine?

>>1023659
Bad contact, probably dirty/corroded surfaces and not enough torque on the nut, therefore (relatively) high resistance. The rising temperature only makes it worse.

Probably isn't an earth rail.

>>1022651
Why didn't they put a doggy flap type thing over the cut part? It would have looked ghetto but at least the door would have functioned properly privacy wise.

do they use something to fill the holes with later, or use run flats, or do they use tubes?

i've seen where people will punch a shit ton of sheet metal screws through the tires on their motorcycles for ice racing but they use a tubed tire.

so many questions

I've hypotized if this would be an ideea for pulling up boat trailers from the sea. Front wheel driven cars smell like clutch when they are underpowered for the weight, and they often are...

>>1025185

Actually those two wires look more like two phases from the service pole.

Usually they are connected to two separate buses, but this retard only used one.

JAYSUS. The old 5W30 coolant trick

>>1025187
>>close enough
the issue isn't (just) that the exhaust isn't connected... I think that's the drive shaft that it's wired to

some fresh OC from this morning. I'm repairing my (ex) bro-in-law disaster of an addition.

He built it with NO EAVES.

He put flashing on AND THEN he put trim over that.

Jesus.

Well you can get this

>>1025152
No, he did it himself. He basically walks around and comments something like "Here's that" "Here I couldn't reach from my ladder" "This part is pretty much finished" and at the end he says "This one was like jigsaw puzzle, hehe"
>>1025185
That's polish thou. I find that interesting that lots of Amercians mistake it for german. Is it because of hard "r"?

>>1023635
with acetone

>>1024895
Not as dramatic as that, but here's my latest coolant to oil interchange job.

>>1025700
A ford? How come the shit always come out as soon as the plug is like a quarter turn loose...

>>1025230
That or can't back up a trailer.

>>1025700
Thats more believable.
I think the first one was a shop due to the lack of any oil. This you can see the viscosity as well as the color of the oil still being present.

>>1025076
Is this some weird tow bar mount or something?
Like are they using the tow bar backwards?

>>1025230
its for towing behind a RV

>>1023627
Fucking kek at the CD drive.

>>1024879
Hey now, they added relays to some of the outputs and I think they optically isolated or did some other form of circuit protection. Anyway, it doesn't look half bad if you need the capability and have more money than time

>>1024117
>>1024111
Very obviously a joke.

>>1025461

>>1022817
How can someone live in such a pigs stall

>>1023634
even the wire direction is wrong ffs

>>1025758
Because impact jack down at lube n slip likes to strip out the threads on the plug itself. It's a steel pan, so fuck it, right and tight. Not that it mattered in the case of my pic, I pulled that 5.4 boat anchor out of there and tossed in a junkyard motor just to get it off the lot.

>>1028481

this invention actually originated from german nazi scientist brought to america after WW2 to work for the CIA : they saw that using electricity to kill people was cheaper than gas, but their nostalgic feelings for the shower prevailed for the overall design. thus was invented the electric shower.

>>1032030
You missed the part about improper wiring or service.
Considering that the ground wire, which is bare inside the shower head, can be broken/encased in some deposit, or tampered with, they can be very dangerous.
It's a relative issue of course, where the assessment of danger is made purely on how easily it can fail and be harmful.

I worked at a chevy garage when gm first did the switch over to dexcool. For one, chevys always had sort of a weak spot in their intake manifold gaskets, didn't matter what engine, they always went bad. Second, the first formulation of dexcool was awful and would go bad after 30k miles at best.

I would get brand new cars in, 3000 miles on them, and pull the drain plug and get pure coolant coming out like this. Half of the cars that were still in warranty would have their oil steaming as it came out because there was so much coolant in it. It was even dumber because unless there was pure coolant coming out of the oil pan, warranty wouldn't cover it.

I felt bad for anyone who bought gm cars from that time, those things were fucked from the start. Of course, unless the owner changed over to regular coolant right from the start, they'd be fine, but it would void their warranty.

I fucking hate this thing as someone involved in design shit, it is such a bad idea at all levels but it's futuristic and stupid enough that some Chinese suit is like "this is great".

Probably not much in the way of 'DIY rekt' but I've been making a knife recently and this was my grinding setup (pic related obvs.) Just a small grinder clamped to a step ladder, I'd just sit on the doorstep, with one foot under it on the cross bar to keep it steady while I ground down the edge of the blade.

>>1035383
No, this is not a diy rekt, but your legs will be soon

>>1035391
It's worked so far, I'll keep going until something bad happens, you guys will be the first to know.

>>1035383
I do the same thing, but have the grinder bolted onto the stool and a bunch of scrap metal on the support beam/foot rest to weigh it down

Dunno how rekt they are but this seems like the best place to post it. They belonged to my grandpa.

There is not enough room in the bathroom for the door to open. The door was cut to a profile of the bowl so as to open and admit toilet goers.

It should have either swung outward, or never been projected as a one-bowl toilet room in the first place. Getting in and out of those booths is hard enough if you're young, skinny and flexible. Imagine what it's like if you're pregnant, fat or old.

Except you have voltage literally millimeters away from the water soaking you. Gas is in an enclosed container, and a leak would just... Leak. A leak on that thing would shock you in 90% of situations. However, as long as the water is going to the drain, and the drain is metal, you would feel very little.

>>1042293
In many European countries, brown is live and blue is neutral, while in North America it's white for neutral and black for live.

I know England uses brown and blue, and probably many others, but I don't know which ones for sure.

What is that tape holding up?
Seriously, was there a reason to... any of that?

>>1042947
Bitch used 2 rolls of tape

>>1042954
Is that a lamp?
What kind of stupid lazy whore uses TAPE to hold a lamp?
The question is rhetorical. I already know.

>>1042951
A bench lamp. No, she just didn't know the clamp to the bench lamp was literally laying right next to it

I haven't moved it in 2 weeks because I get a good laugh from her ignorance

Well, until chalk accumulates on the wire and insulates it.

no

"grounding" or "earthing" is about giving the pixies somewhere to go in case of a short or malfunction. It means rerouting the juice from "into your flabby paws" to "down into the earth". You can't "ground" airplanes, and so you can't ground something by shoving a conductor into some dirt.

You can lawyer up all you want. GM has more expensive lawyers.

We have the greatest consumer protection laws in the world. It's called the 2nd Amendment and a pack of matches.

If more people would just fucking murder some CEOs in front of their own children then set their mansions on fire lots of these issues would just fix themselves.

And how about the lamp?

>>1043760
Most aren't because there is no way to explain to the consumer that ground wire is needed. "What, an extra wire $$$ just in case of something going wrong? So simply do this right and don't make anything 'just in case'".

Houses here are made of fired clay bricks. It's not africa tier (if used right they are very comfy) but people here is retarded
>dad: Okay I made this plan where you use BRICKS MADE SPECIFICALLY TO CARRY PIPES AND ELECTRICAL DUCTS AND HAVE OPENING FOR ELECTRICAL PLUGS
>Contractor: wtf I don't do this, what? Do you want me to think? I will just buy the same kind of brick, make a wall, then destroy the 2/3 of said wall to pass pipes and wires and cover in mortar : )
The result is that they buy materials to make 2 buildings and throw half away instead of properly planning things.

Give them some credit, atleast its grounded.

the cops used to have mirrors on sticks like pervs use to see under a girls dress to make sure the catalytic converter was still there because so many people cut theirs off when the cat was restricting flow or clogged up instead of buying a new one. a lot of people did the clothes hanger buggaloo before the laws were changed

Haven't you posted about that job with the green wall before? I vaguely remember something about a dangerously underbuilt wall.

>>1042984
That's damn funny.

But it's easy to fix by taking the door off it's hinges.

I made a picture series of changing the worn out disks, calipers, and pads on my car, with the intention of posting it here on 4chan as a simple "Today I did this, and now you know how to do it too".

Sadly I was too busy facepalming myself red and swearing, to take a picture of my car having fallen off of the jack with one of the rear wheels missing. Damn I felt retarded: Having carefully loosened the parking brake to be able to turn the wheel around, I forgot to pull it back up before going into the rear to get some stuff.

No damage, and the picture series turned out fine, but I believe the wheel base shoved/buried in my driveway gravel would fit in this thread.

I might get around to actually posting the picture series one day.

>>1044926
I don't think so. My dad nor I took pictures, the wall was alright as far as I remember. The problem was a painter who was semi-literate or didn't cared and just painted it with the color that was near him at the time.

>>1044473

I think it's less about that and more that he attached it to the driveshaft

aren't there grounding antenna/spike/whiskers on aircraft wingtips to allow lightning to ground?

>>1045138
chassis 'ground' != an actual ground

they are dissipating the voltage spike through the entire chassis/frame by heat.

>>1045215
>they are dissipating the voltage spike through the entire chassis/frame by heat.
isn't that literally the point of "earth ground" as opposed to literal electrical ground

>>1045215
>they are dissipating the voltage spike through the entire chassis/frame by heat.
What the fuck dude. Aircraft gets hit by lightning and it's turned to heat? Really? They just manage the voltage spike so it doesn't fuck shit up on the plane. There are some whiskers that are there just so the plane doesn't buildup a lot of charge as it moves. Some have shielded conduits and some weird materials to help with lightning too. But heat? nope.

>>1045254
The whiskers are called static wicks. They just make sure the electrical discharges (due to charge buildup) happen in the right way in the correct places so the noise doesn't fuck radio up.
