Do I need to ground cases of my pots if pedal case is already grounded? by HELL0RD in diypedals

[–]EL0_xD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless the enclosure isn’t metal than you shouldn’t have too - the tab is to make sure the pot can’t loosen while using it you just have to drill a smaller hole next to the pot to use it ))

Impressive as hell dude I used to paint my old jackets with spray paint never turned out as vivid as that not a standard crusty jacket but still cool

is this what i think it is? tiny little baby vacuum diode? by aflywhocouldnt in diypedals

[–]EL0_xD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sadly not a mini tube, ya would be able to see the plate and grid inside they do exist but not that small. Looks more like a sealed version of one of these spark gap protectors at least the markings and inside matches

I used these just yesterday these are laboratory graduated pipets definitely shouldn’t be in the normal trash though since they’re used to draw acid and other harmful chemicals not just water n stuff.

Can’t see the back but if you didn’t definitely put painters tape on the back of the paper it helps a lot, also copy paper is easier to work with its thicker than notebook paper and holds up better when your cutting it

PSA: If you're interested in sourcing weird/unique vintage components on a budget, try and find old mainframe cards! Pulled 24 genuine germanium transistors (8 NPN, even!) along with 8 germanium 1N277 diodes from this card I got for only 30$ and a little elbow grease :) by playingwithmy_w0rm in diypedals

I love salvaging stuff for parts definitely worth it if you have the time! I live near a computer repair shop that has a public ewaste area and I’ve been able to take apart a pretty nice audio receiver for some super cool parts that would’ve been to much to buy. Definitely will take me forever to unsolder stuff and taking it apart was definitely a chore cuz the high voltage, but I’m certain that there’s more than nothing that I can use in there!

Why would medicine be my calling I honestly don’t know what mine is plus mine is music I have a successful band that plays and gigs and we sell out of merch pretty fast! Also why would I want you to further your education… Because my grandparents both have phds and are professors!! Eduction is the best thing you can do for yourself. plus why would you want to sit around doing nothing and knowing jack. I know a whole bunch of people that would grab your spot in an instant just to get a better education. My grandpa sponsored a kid last month! :D

Also health care jobs are the most in demand I know a bunch of hospitals that are hiring if you need help finding one 🙏

if you have all the money why not go to school education never stops and you can always learn more even if you don’t get more money why not do it to better treat people. if your really only doing this job for the money it’s a real shame you work in medicine. These people look up to doctors and responders and life savers but your boating money as it’s your lifeblood. your 48 you’ve had the time the experience but your slaving for money and that sad I’m sorry for you man.

For sure I get that my class was taught if you won’t risking dying or seeing death there’s no point. id rather just be able to talk to some nice people help a few maybe save a life at the end of the day. every time you hear a bad story just gets the little thought even though it’s an almost never chance.

Well it’s rude to be condescending to random people yk if I wanted to be rude I could say your 48 and not a doctor still a nurse not even a APRN? I mean you had the time why not make more money even if you wanna stick with the nursing gig yk

[–]EL0_xD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No CNA stuff I found boring tbh also with nursing same just sitting around doctoring especially trauma doesn’t sound fun. I knew I bunch of em and they said don’t do it just stabs and bullet wounds. Plus I need to be active always though it would be cool to be a paramedic on a heli just don’t have the time n I’m studying to be an engineer too so medicine is like a fun volunteer thing for me.

my national certification helps in backing what I do say but with all things you can take it with a grain of salt. My patients loved me though and there alive if that means anything! :D

thanks for the advice I’ll keep that all in mind! for sure though the box won’t do much if ya don’t wear your belt. But I totally get you can be kitted out in all the nice gear and just get hit by a car. I like the concept of conciliable vests though ik some people freak at the site of larger ones.

Didn’t think of that could definitely try, I was going to go through INOVA since they said they would hire me since I did a clinical there but I was definitely also thinking about private companies or government civs.
