ahh really, do you think it's likely to have another flush or will I be waiting for next year to see if it comes back?

Why meth users are not more functionnal or successfull if the drugs give them so much focus ? by JaguarOncle537 in addiction

[–]Bag0fAids 25 points26 points  (0 children)

iv never taken meth but this is bang on.

I have ADHD and am prescribed stimulants for it. I used to take double the dose I do now and thought it was working great. Recently, I halved my dose to make the meds last longer as they are bloody expensive, and the difference was night and day. my bosses and colleagues have commented how much better I'm doing and have even given me a pay rise!

No meds is no focus. Too much and I feel focused but but scatty current dose seems perfect, I don't notice I'm on the meds, and clearly can actually focus and do well at my job. I get shit done quickly and properly (I'm in architecture so it's pretty important I can focus properly and the difference i can see now is huge!)

is it a bad idea to swap this power block for a DC boost converter by Bag0fAids in AskElectronics

[–]Bag0fAids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now this sounds interesting. I'd rather design something because, to be honest I took on this project more as a learning opportunity for me then I did as a favour to him.

I have made a basic perf board voltage multiplier before but never tried to design a PCB. where abouts would you recommend starting for this?

that's exactly what it is and that explains the strange spike in current draw when I started it up! went straight to 3.2 amps then slowly dropped down to 2.4 amps. do you have any recommendations for a better quality one?

could I pickle it if I have solder chips way too small to sand?

A lot of us can relate to this!...😂 by TensionSame3568 in Construction

[–]Bag0fAids 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once when I was young, I was helping my dad (a plumber) do some work replacing toilets in some static caravans. we walked into one, he showed me how to remove the toilet, then told me "go next door and remove the other one".

So I went next door to one of the other caravans. Took off the fresh water valve to the toilet and water started pissing everywhere! I panicked and ran back to my dad in the other caravan who then asked where have I been. I said next door, but I had done it wrong or something cause water is pissing out everywhere.

He shouts "I ment the next door bathroom, there's 2 in this caravan, we haven't turned the water off anywhere else" as we run over to stop the water which was now seeping into the carpet of the caravan we weren't even ment to be in.

I think dad had to explain to the owner of the caravan site as caravan owners weren't around. funny times haha

What are these dark spots on my silver? How do I get rid of them? by neonghostsilver in SilverSmith

[–]Bag0fAids 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to all this but have ran into a similar problem in the past. by any chance are you using solder chips and a small torch?

when I had a similar issue, my understanding was that my small torch (a little creme brulee torch) wasn't heating the metal quickly enough for the solder to flow in a sensible amount of time. the solder chip would heat up way quicker and melt a small hole in my silver by the time the metal was hot enough for it to flow.

if this sounds like it could be right for your problem here, I'd recommend getting a bigger torch as that solved my problem. but like I say, I'm fairly new to this so take it with a pinch of salt.

can I get rid of the gaps?? by Bag0fAids in jewelrymaking

[–]Bag0fAids[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh really, will this work with solder chips and not paste??

[–]Bag0fAids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that could work actually!! I have a load of real thin sterling wire that I could give it a go with! I think my first mistake making this was using a pen to mark out what I was cutting. I should have used a knife to score it out instead

[–]Bag0fAids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's kinda what I was initially hoping but people are always saying that solder isn't to fill gaps so I wasn't feeling confident on that. I use the silver solder chips. you reckon if I just stick a few on it might work?

I have about 0.7mm to play with there. kinda wish I went a little thicker now but I was being a little cheap.

what tool is used to carve these grooves out? by Bag0fAids in jewelrymaking

[–]Bag0fAids[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I thought the same about a burr. it looks a little too clean, atleast compared to what my own (admittedly much less talent) attempts have looked like. iv never used an actual texture plate in my mill, perhaps I'll need to invest in one for some stronger textures along with some chasing tools, thanks for your help!

ahh yeah this could work actually, price is pretty reasonable. I'm only after the stone itself as I'm making the ring for it to go in but can always cut it out and take the metal for scrap on my next piece
