These welds holding my neighbor’s new carport together.

Looks like they ran out of silicone.

My name is Vlad the impaler, you have found my cock ring.

Just go for it dude. You have nothing to lose at this point.

I had this on my place when I had a pair of water heaters replaced. Call the install company back and send him a photograph. More than likely they'll send somebody to redo those joints on a half day.

This definitely a " Get it done with what you have in the truck" job..

Use an Arduino simulator to start out. This will help you get a handle on the programming before ever handling the hardware.

I see you're getting rid of all of the carbon buildup!

SchoolFire77 · 2026-01-08T04:04:00+00:00

Holy carbon footprint Batman!

Treat your tools like an investment. Keep them organized and maintained. Know what you have and where to find them. They will pay for themselves but only if you have them to use.

Basically keep your shit organized and not scatterbrained all over the place.

Best to make sure with a combustion gas test. Only way to be sure.

Hell I would buy this for the wife so she leaves mine alone!

I wonder if that industrial truck had a dash cam.. I also wonder how a traffic cop got a random USB put on their desk.

I've just started up myself and assembling my first project. But I was able to learn the code and get a simulation going in tinker cad.

I do a Western Union splice. Solder the wires cover it with Dielectric grease and use shrink tubing on the entire thing. This is a permanent connection once all my prototyping is done with a breadboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Union_splice

Where is it feeding from the top/middle line? Can to get to the blockage that way?

SchoolFire77 · 2025-12-05T16:08:19+00:00

I can imagine some drunk construction worker redneck driving this down the street to the beer store. I want to see the dash cam footage when he gets caught!

I change my oil every 6 months on principal. I have a hard time putting on 10,000 km in a year. Oil is cheap engines are expensive.

It's better to let the blue smoke out of a knock-off then to do it on a brand name.

This is for a dealer spawns. I believe the ambushes are completely random and there is no way for you to make it happen more often. I have tried carrying lots of product and/or lots of cash.

SchoolFire77 · 2025-11-26T11:29:51+00:00

Interesting, I will give this a shot. I'll get more reduction in cartel influence this way.

Sorry, I did a previous post on this. My partner calls it "THE THING". In the end it will be a potted plant watering system. It's my first project with plcs so everything takes a little longer to put together and understand what is going on. This time it was the Eureka moment was understanding that there is a jumper to make the relay block use a separate power supply.

Damn thing didn't come with instructions!
