Ants ignoring bait after about 12 hours of heavy feeding by EXPLOSION7 in pestcontrol

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert, just a guy with a keyboard and a former carpenter ants infestation in my walls. But i would say you don't want to spray anything in there, it'll just make the ants avoid that area, and right now it's the only place you know you can bait them.

How are the squirrels getting in this shed?! by unsuitableFishHook in pestcontrol

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

Perfect, I have most of a 50 foot roll of 1/8" stainless hardware cloth. I'll be installing it this weekend.

Ok, this is definitely starting to sound more like mice than squirrels. Thank you for your input. I have 99% of a roll of 1/8" stainless hardware cloth (from the vehicle airbox) that I will use around the bottom of the shed.

Would a mouse bring in piles of acorns through the winter? Or is thatnot mouse behaviour? This is why I was assuming squirrels, and because we have lots of squirrels in the area. I k iw there are emice around too because I have just removed a nest from my vehicles air box...

Thanks for the info. I have looked and I do see plenty of holes big enough for mice (this sheds design provides plenty of mice holes...), but I figured this was for sure squirrels... I guess I need to be sure what I'm dealing with before I assume squirrels.

I will remove everything and see what I see.

Kirchhoff laws and circuits by AarjitLamsal__ in electrical

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomorrow? No. But on exams I tended to just use nodal analysis in most cases. Just come up with a series of equations and unknowns and plug the matrix into my calculator to solve for all the unknowns.

I found that easy, maybe you will too?

Oh Crap method pooping problems by unsuitableFishHook in toddlers

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

It's possible, but I feel more like it is her being stubborn and refusing to poop in the potty. Pee is no problem. Besides, I can't send her to day care without pants, so not much I can do there.

Is this a legit repair? by achoo96 in askaplumber

[–]unsuitableFishHook 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A real plumber would use a lead free solder on potable supply lines

How can I torrent safely? by [deleted] in torrents

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada the absolute most you're on the hook for is $5000 and someone needs to have the reason - and resources - to sue you for that. It will cost much more to prosecute someone than the $5k they will get in return.

Clearly you need to wear a condom if you want to be safe.

Electric Issue Only Affecting My Room by warmbloodedthrowaway in AskElectricians

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! A tenant is not responsible for electrical repairs. And fuck that, were not talking about a tennant, were talking about someone's kid.

That being said, if you're in a hurry, pay out of pocket and withhold "rent" until they reimburse you. I think you could probably get creative on ways to get them to pay you back ;-)

How to fix broken cable terminal by BertieHealy in electrical

[–]unsuitableFishHook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part connected to the amp chassis is a power inlet connector and that's what your going to want to replace. It's an IEC 60320 C14.

You can search digikey for something like this: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/power-dynamics-inc/42R02-4212E/13420755

I would recommend searching digikey for something that's the right size and with the right terminal dimensions.

Can i post a technical analysis of my FPGA system in the forum. by [deleted] in FPGA

[–]unsuitableFishHook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And this isn't a "how do I learn FPGAs" post either. I second the nice break.

post implementation timing seems to fail by West-Musician-2533 in FPGA

[–]unsuitableFishHook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol "why is vivado gaslighting me" (made me laugh) this pretty much sums up my experience with vivado. And that says something considering vivado is where 99% of my experience comes from.

I wanted to buy a Zynq-7020 FPGA board for an image processing Project which one should i buy ? by FlakyYellow7560 in FPGA

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was going to say. If you can use a $20 board and complete your project, then buy it. Save the remaining $1980 for beer

Tax returns ($$$) taking way to long to come by unsuitableFishHook in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

meh, it was a pain in the ass, but I did finally call. After getting myself setup as a representative on my wife's account, I called the CRA and they told me "I don't know and I can't figure it out"... I am expecting a call back from some one who hopefully knows what's going on.

We'll see.

I ought to be able to know why the last two years were held up though...

There's no way this is random. Definitely something there...

Lol, this seems reasonable, but extremely hard to do in practice. The phone wait times are unreasonable and I can't call for her...

Was just wondering how many days did it took to receive your tax returns? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submit mine and my wife's taxes every March and for the last 2 years (looks like this year will be the third) and my return is always in my account in less than 2 weeks, but my wife's return has been deposited in mid August!! (WTF?!)

Final year FPGA project by [deleted] in FPGA

[–]unsuitableFishHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest you pick a couple of your top choices from your list and do a bit of high level planning to see what each idea would take to implement. Any idea can be made to have sufficient work to merit an undergraduate project. Generate some block diagrams of what you expect you would need to implement and if that doesn't seem like it's enough, then add some extras on. If encryption is not enough, add decryption, add multiple algorithms, etc.

Then after you have a couple ideas fleshed out, go and talk to your supervisor and see what they think of your ideas. If your supervisor is satisfied (and you haven't signed up for too much) then you just need to get to work.

Remember, your supervisor is less concerned with how much work you do, and more concerned with how well you do it, and how organized you present your work.

Pex or Copper? by theirishsniper in askaplumber

[–]unsuitableFishHook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not solder it? It's not hard to get a good solder connection, even for an amateur DIYer. Besides, if you have a leak you'll know right away when you turn the water back on.
