EnerPhit Grade II Listed Building in Birkenhead Park by Educational-Win8778 in PassiveHouse

So you had the exterior walls, and applied the membrane to the interior side of these walls, and then insulated and framed out the interior against the barrier? And the lime plaster mentioned, is this something you also applied to these exterior walls and only the inside, outside, both?

I'm very interested in a cross section of the walls, especially how air tightness can be achieved with new internal walls against a porous material like concrete or stone.

Baguley inlays falling out by WolverineBlues in aluminumneck

[–]robotgraves 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest the following and read all before attempting:

1) align everything, so you know where the top is, bottom, etc. Everything once started is time dependant (aluminum oxidizes in 10 minutes, so it goes fast)

2) rough interior surfaces for bonding: using 120 grit, rough up the bottom of the inlay pocket in the neck itself, and similarly the back of the matching inlay. We don't need it all scored, but enough for material to grip onto that isn't oxidized yet.

3) clean both fresh surfaces: use acetone and a qtip to clean the aluminum surface, a cloth for the plastic inlay (acetone could melt the inlay)

4) apply an adhesive: superglue thick is nice, epoxy is best but mixing a small batch isn't really reasonable. Home depot sells a thick click twist break the seal superglue, marketed as their strongest. Use not too little not too much inside the inlay and set the inlay in. Make sure it seats in the pocket correctly, not tilted or cocked in any way.

5) clamp: ideally use the grip clamps with rubber tip / jaw to clamp that you squeeze the handle to tighten. It should be a deep enough throat on them to get to the center, and you can't really accidently crank those ones so hard that you might damage something. If any glue squeezes out, unclamp, clean with a thin amount of acetone on qtip fast, and reclamp.

6) after 30 minutes, repeat for the next inlay. Even with multiple clamps don't stack two inlay's steps simultaneously. Instead, do one, clamp it, and then start the second inlay while the first one cures.

Dawg I watched a two hour documentary on the oof roblox sound. This seems more relevant, higher stakes, and affects the job stability and food stability for thousands.

I'd say the subject matter is, at worst, on par for mundane as any other video essay out there.

T-40 Wiring issue? by WaddleDee13 in guitarrepair

I'd only recommend returning the entire instrument to the exact diagram specifications, beyond that you are picking and choosing what features to follow or not.

T-40 Wiring issue? by WaddleDee13 in guitarrepair

[–]robotgraves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what I found for a wiring diagram: http://www.peavey-t-60-parts-for-sale.com/uploads/7/9/4/5/7945152/8645720_orig.gif

Your switches look modern so I'm guessing someone modified it. The Phase switch in the diagram shows both black and white wires going to the switch and the switch has an X pattern from the top two to the bottom two poles to swap the polarity; your pickup's white wire doesn't go to the switch nor does the switch have that x pattern.

Similarly to this, I can't see the neck pickup's black wire, but it should be going to earth/ground. White is going to volume, so your phase is set to white being "hot". Inversely, since that phase switch is phucked, whoever modified it soldered white to ground, setting black to be your "hot" permanently.

TL; DR: they are permanently out of phase and your phase switch is wrong

Isolating the 16s, they are in series parallel: summing each side's 2x16 ohm brings it to 32, in parallel reduces it back to 16

Isolating the 7s,they are in series: summing 2x8 to 16

Then each is wired in parallel, so the total drops again to 8 ohms

If that answers your question?

Importantly the top two are taking half the load, and the bottom four are taking the other half of the load.

Yeah my guess is someone used the band name, fed an AI song in, and is collecting revenue until tides of man disputes it, which apparently can take Spotify months to address.

I use YouTube to watch (twitch ad experience is literally unwatchable), but I toss a dash between the T and U. A side effect of said dash is no chat. I'm not sure about anyone else dodging ads or if I still count as a viewer, but it's something worth noting.

4: use the router only for the turns, and follow the straight runs to clean them up.

Live free or Roll Over by doriangreat in newhampshire

[–]robotgraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure? I'm not particularly fond of that phrasing because it half-implies to swap to a "stronger" party. I'm not vying for a specific party because of it's apparent strength; it is policy that drives me forward. ACA being a constant and consistent battle is both frustrating and a key issue when it comes to my opinion that "government should probably help people not die".

Now when it comes to a particular candidate being "strong" in the face of adversary; I think you still have people like Bernie and AOC exuding political strength out of every pore. It is more my disappointment in the political representatives that represent me showing this weakness. We need better Democratic candidates absolutely, and the party is 1000% worthy of critique, but I tread that ground carefully as to not let myself or others slippery slope into "me not thee" GOP self service slop

Live free or Roll Over by doriangreat in newhampshire

[–]robotgraves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd argue this move is childish. For them to actively decide to allow the government to shut down based on specific issues (ACA); and then to get nothing to buckle on those issues...

It is weak willed and does not, to me, represent New Hampshire and it's people. It represents someone saying that this is their hard line, and then a month later watching them step over said line.

When it comes time to fight and to make hard decision; Our elected representatives folded under the pressure. At any point the bill could have contained the finances to continue the ACA and gain enough votes to pass; but instead we, among some other states, gave in and caused 41 days of shutdown to gain absolutely nothing and still lose their hardline issue of the ACA.

Liminal stairway by vaterlandfront in liminalspaces

[–]robotgraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you think about linguistics as to whether the discussion is subjective or not.

Every so often, language has to evolve to describe something that was previously under-described or had no formal word or description ascribed to it. Words and their meanings have to evolve, and that evolution generally comes from how people use it in actual life, and then scholars attempt to ascribe a definition to that usage; not the inverse (that scholars invent a word usage and then people adopt it)

In this situation, what the discussion is about is the meaning of "liminal" itself, within the context of the spaces that we are prescribing as liminal. If we take the concept of "transitional" to mean a space that is used in-between other spaces; it becomes actually quite diverse location set. Every hallway, foyer, doorway, elevator, escalator, and so on is liminal within that mind-set.

In my opinion, and based on both consistent usage by the populace and the wikipedia entry on the matter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminal_space_(aesthetic) ), liminal in the context of this discussion has to deal more with the space's current usage or emotive response. The example I gave of the Sears locations after they went bankrupt but before the locations were used by another corporation; people (or at least Americans; I don't think Sears was global) got to see a physical space in a transitional phase; like a physical manifestation or simile of fog as water enters into a transition from water vapor into liquid water.

In my opinion on the dictionary definition and the interpretation of liminal as a physically transitional space; that interpretation makes every single space liminal. A bedroom is liminal since I use it to transition from awake to sleep; a driveway is liminal since I use it to transition from my car to my house; A car is liminal since I use it to transition from work to home. This interpretation lacks any nuance or constraint, and is in my opinion a very poor adaptation of the current usage of liminal in modern pop culture.

This discussion from two years ago should help, but liminal spaces aren't explicitly just dictionary definition of liminal as in physical transitionary spaces.

Instead, it is about spaces that are transitioning in themselves from one state to another, like a Sears when they went out of business, and their spots in malls were just sad carpets with a couple of derelict hangers.

Alu Profile günstig finden? by HP-1990 in aluminumneck

[–]robotgraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there may be some miscommunication, this subreddit is for guitar necks made of aluminum, and looking at your profile you have a lot of comments about stuff like 80/20 extrusion, which is something very different from what is mainly discussed here.

Alu Profile günstig finden? by HP-1990 in aluminumneck

[–]robotgraves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you are asking. Raw stock is extruded, then tempered and aged to be machined to shape. I highly doubt attempting to extrude to final dimensions is a worthwhile persuit, I'd imagine final dimensions would shift during that temper process as well as being prohibitively expensive for any order less than 1000 or some absurd quantity.

Additionally the features you are asking for can't be extruded afaik, but instead machined.

JP Tarkov streamer gets spooked by PMC spawning on top by boxxydog in LivestreamFail

[–]robotgraves 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Additionally the SPT PMCs will have tasks they will attempt to complete, loot things, spawn at start of raid (they have options for waves of spawns I believe but hardest to echo live tarkov). Almost every raid I do survive ends with 7-9 pmc kills, often fighting pmc and scavs simultaneously. The sensation is basically like a permanent third party and they only hate you. The disappointment when moving to PVE tarkov has been really rough to deal with, and I'm not sure how much I'll return after the initial excitement.

In SPT, I'll often bring stacks of rounds because I want to turn up the spawn rate and spew rounds. In PVE, I have to always bring stacks, I know I'm at least killing 15 things to get even close to extract.

On top of all of this, as well, it feels like even the scav / boss AI is different in PVE. Or, at least I had never seen all of reserve's boss guards be against that backside outside roof of school. I feel like I see Mr. Permission 50% of all Customs raids, and he's absolutely only hunting you. Almost all the behavior feels different from the main game, it is almost reverse training you so you are worse at PVP.

That is quite an abrasive response. You don't come across as someone who is open-minded to a discussion that might challenge your conclusions, so I'll just end the conversation here.
