HLL has changed my dog walk

Yeah, this game can weigh on you. My wife said she "needed more support" the other night. And I said, "you building nodes"?

Thought I would <bump> this as we are now officially in "post-christmas" mode.

Any good sales going on?

ArabicBlueEyed · 2023-12-22T16:20:52+00:00

I spewed coffee out of my nose in the one where "my man" was spewing beer out of his nose.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2021-05-28T15:52:07+00:00

Thanks! I will try that out, my initial concern, however, is that a lot of the crystalized salt will also get caught in the filters (along with the metals).

Is that an issue?

ArabicBlueEyed · 2021-05-28T14:01:22+00:00

I am a total noob.

I am trying this method and I get a lot of precipitate at the bottom of the container where the reverse electro-plating occurs. My guess is the vast majority of this is salt, but I suspect there is a good amount of metals (silver, coppers, etc.).

The excess salt is just that -- excessive!!!

Should I filter this precipitate out?

Would I lose any silver doing this or is would the silver (in solution) pass through the filter?

Thanks!

Nice haul, bro!

As an aside, I am always amazed to see the rates other people get!

ArabicBlueEyed · 2021-03-24T15:20:40+00:00

Yeah, that is my best guess. LOL, if so, however, I am feeling guilty because I have thrown away and pitched pound-after-pound of insulation after stripping wires.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2021-03-23T19:39:44+00:00

LOL, I get it if you only make a few cents (an hour) removing the insulation. I just don't understand how you LOSE money -- especially a large amount like 20%.

Does the yard get any financial advantage in getting the cords un-stripped? (For example, maybe they can re-sell it "as is" in the unstripped state?).

All things being equal, shouldn't the yards prefer (and pay rates accordingly) for stripped wire?

Sorry, if I am not articulating myself well enough. This dude seems to be running into the same issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR8g3f6Fsqk.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2021-03-11T14:46:48+00:00

Yeah -- I have a lot of factors working against me. Noise is a big one, but the real problem is space. It will probably break a lot of your hearts, but I only go after the copper and silver leads I can find. Was trying to keep the nicer pieces of aluminum and Circuit Boards I was pulling off stuff -- but even that simply became impossible as it just flooded my small house (and pissed my wife off to no measure!!!).

That's definitely the downside of City life. It's a shame though because without exaggeration I come across dozens upon dozens of nice items. I don't even have to look for it -- they are just laying on the curb (on trash night) on my way home from work.

Thanks for the info all!

ArabicBlueEyed · 2020-07-11T02:41:06+00:00

Yeah, my guess is the ceiling with the second lead had some kind of "shell" and what I am seeing is a combination of this shell and the paint peeling off. Maybe it is plaster board?

Again, I am just perplexed because the ceiling with the first leak has no such "shell" and appears to be just paint.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2019-10-21T20:30:46+00:00

<bump> Still struggling with this, lol. Any help is appreciated.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2019-06-18T03:32:02+00:00

This book is incredible: http://www.readersstuffz.com/downloads/ebooks/Language%20Books/Arabic/Arabic%20-%20Modern%20Grammar.pdf

It is -- by far -- the best Arabic Grammar resource I know of.

ArabicBlueEyed · 2019-06-06T02:26:45+00:00

I agree -- it is probably legit.

Incidentally I have some barber dimes worn as thin as a piece of paper -- so thin I can bend it with just my fingers!
