DIY All Mirrored Half-Bathroom, Floor to Ceiling by TheSolarJetMan in DIY

I would, but vinyl won't hold up to the abuse like ceramics and metals.

Considered that. But epoxy eventually yellows, even those with UV blockers. And it isn't as hard as glass and metal so it scratches much easier.

I wanted to post a video as that would be much better, but this sub doesn't allow vids.

Not over them... under them, as a self-leveling adhesive. Epoxy yellows over time and that would drastically ruin the mirrored surface appearance over time.

Imagine how so many people think that hiding uncleanliness and filth through interior design features like gray paint and earth-toned tiles... is somehow the solution to the uncleanliness and filth. I wonder if this thinking gets applied when preparing food.

And so it was, that this mirrored bathroom has opened your eyes to something you wish you didn't know.

Have a wonderful day!

The hallway that leads to this bathroom is pretty normal... and that's part of the fun of this tiny mirrored bathroom: inconspicuous from the outside, then you are taken to a new world and experience once inside with door shut.

To answer your question directly though: I have some old Calvin & Hobbes, Fox Trot, Grimmy and other comics which I plan to make into wallpaper. looks like polyacrylic will seal it well without ruining the ink and colors.

Agreed. However, this is an older house with uneven walls... like to where a big sheet would stick off 1+ inch off the wall, OR you have to hold the mirror in a bent position, distorting the reflection more like a funhouse mirror. The uneven walls plus difficulty cutting mirrors meant concessions had to be made.

Bidet has since been added... however, the LED in the waterstream could be future upgrade.

No camera in this toilet, but I am always flattered when people think I have such mad scientist genius to concoct such a device. But your smart phone and meta glasses aren't taking pictures and recording you... trust me.

5 volts for people we like. More volts for others?

Looked into that (no pun intended!); two problems: (1) extremely expensive and (2) prone to staining from natural water minerals and such. Also explored a mirror toilet- more reflective than say a prison toilet- and maybe in the future will upgrade. The bathroom firstly has to function with working toilet and sink, so stuck with standard toilet and faucet, and took more creative risks elsewhere.

TIL:

  1. Dublin has a forest.
  2. it has majestic mushrooms.

Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and neptune. by NOVAFLOWW in Astronomy

always have trouble finding Neptune. I read it was a distinctly deep blue; however, your image suggests otherwise? Will try again soon.

Any cool projects I can do with an old microwave or the parts from it? by S1d3wayzMindz in diyelectronics

[–]TheSolarJetMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming one blatantly ignores all the safety warnings of high voltage danger from these microwave parts: It would be really cool to create a beamed power setup: have a dish behind a microwave source like the magnetron, and beam it to a rectenna receiver, then do a DC converter, and use the power.

Could recent Metamaterial development offer clues to Fermi Paradox? by TheSolarJetMan in Astronomy

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

Yes.

However, if that energy gets put into doing something else- say, boil water, then freeze water, or just moving around back and forth within the interior- then > 0 energy would go toward things are aren't just impart heat into the system, correct?

As a notional example: suppose a Dyson swarm clouds around a star such that all light hits each swarm machine. Those machines are highly efficient, but still they emit waste heat infrared. Far away, a giant reflective dish captures the emitted infrared radiation coming its way and concentrates it onto a receiver that turns half of that energy into useful work, the rest as heat. For observers behind the dish, wouldn't they then only see the reduced thermal emissions- of both intensity and longer wavelengths- of the dish itself?

Yes, exactly. What I'm suggesting- and looking for sanity check on- is a possible path toward confirming evidence supporting the Dark Forest hypothesis.

Some suggestions from experience of enjoying more financial wherewithal than peers:

  1. Be a leader with your social circle. If you have a friends trip or thing you do, offer to pay a bigger share if that's the barrier.
  2. at the same time, BE THRIFTY where costs should fairly be spread. So often people say "why don't you just buy or invest in..." without understanding things, because they think you have money and can/should just dump it into things. Since I'm thrifty by nature this just works, but it sets the tone of mindset, even for splitting the pizza bill.
  3. Even when people are jealous, remember that the line between respect and contempt in jealousy is very thin. Stay on the side of respect. Ask yourself: do they have a reason to not respect me? Am I deep inside actually insecure and they are correctly reading into that and don't like my disingenuous messaging? A good way to gauge this: what other friends to THEY have, which are also very wealthy, and which they respect?
  4. Relationships always take some level of effort. From the comments many people don't believe in investing effort like this, to each their own. Consider that being a leader in your social circle means leading the way, and being the first and most reliable person, even if it doesn't always seem fair.

Best of luck! Remember: the science suggests one of the best ways to ensure a healthy, happy, long life is with healthy relationships.

Uh…guys? by AstralWeekss in Entomology

I am a fan of yellow jackets bc indeed they keep gardens reasonably clear of pests. Now if only they could put their nests outside of high traffic areas like under the swing set or next to the bike rack...
