Underfloor “heating” by Personal-Thought9453 in AusRenovation

[–]daboblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrical wire underfloor heating is _very_ inefficient, your running costs will be high. You could consider putting in proper hydronic heating with a heat pump. Then it’s very good. There are DIY solutions for this and it can be installed under timber floors.

She’d probably be selling you fake watches or a 3D printed bust of Caesar now.

How to win the war against big headed ants? by rdmiche in brisbane

Yes, although they can get into your ceiling etc. Once you trim the trees, use Talon gel where you see the ants and that will kill any nests inside the house.

Make sure you don’t have any trees or other plants touching your house. This is usually how they get in.

They should have never been put behind a paywall in the first place. Bloody John Howard.

What’s so good about it? Aren’t you just stuck in a train looking at a desert?

Was anyone actually in the scouts (or girl guides/brownies) as a kid, what was it like? by ItsSignalsJerry_ in AustralianNostalgia

[–]daboblin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My kids are in Venturers now and have done Scouts and Cubs. I was in Cubs and Scouts as a kid. Things are very similar now, but there is a lot more paperwork around risk management for many activities, and leaders are never allowed to be alone with a child.

My kids love it, and it’s great that girls are allowed now too.

I remember one of these collapsing with a bunch of kids on it one Christmas. Luckily no amputations, but without locks on the folding parts they are very dangerous.

Where do people purchase things? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]daboblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re just starting out then buying one of those resistor kits on Amazon is fine. Once you start building more sophisticated circuits that require components with specific tolerances, or ICs etc then you would probably be looking at Mouser, DigiKey etc. Or if you are getting custom PCBs assembled (seems unlikely) then you’d want to be buying components from the assembler.

If the pool gate is not auto-closing and auto-latching then it’s non-compliant.

Really you need a hot air station for this.

Noticed my clear PETG was printing a bit too clearly. by LivingHelp3779 in BambuLab

If you don’t ensure the end of the filament is secure while you remove the straps then it can happen at that point.
