It doesn't sound like you want to be talked into it.

Working with the epoxy is messy and they can be hazardous but the finishing work is the really nasty part. Doing any grinding or sanding on composites is MISERABLE. The powder created gets everywhere, is itchy, and will give you cancer if you breathe it.

Are you planning an electric or acoustic?

Integrated neck, bolt on, or set neck? Wooden or carbon fiber? What fretboard material?

Have you built a guitar before?

Have you worked with epoxy/composites?

Solvent does not remove rust.

You degrease the part, then manually remove the rust, then clean with the solvent just before welding. Acetone or alcohol are better cleaners for weld prep than brake cleaner. These solvents are volatile enough that most of the time, the part is dry and not-flammable by the time you get your gear on and are ready to weld.

The really damaging thing here is not the fire but if you use chlorinated brake cleaner when welding it created concentrated chlorine gas and will kill you.

Welding produces a ton of nasty fumes and you should ALWAYS be wearing a welding rated respirator and using a fume extractor when welding, especially with flux core, galvanized, or stainless unless you want extra nasty cancer.

How long until the forks get deprecated? Is that even a possibility? I don't really know what goes into making this but I would imagine if it depends on some chunk of the mozilla source code, eventually it will be out of sync with the major releases or current browser standards. What does that mean for the TOR browser since its based on firefox right?

I ask that as someone moving from firefox to libre/waterfox.

Strawberry has been kind of buggy for me. I don't have an alternative player yet so I am looking for input here too.

Yep, I usually just migrate the sd card betweent phone or clone the old one to a new one. I have incremental backups of my data from the last like 15 years becasue of that.

Yeah no doubt, I use syncthing to do my running backups but I like to pretend that isn't there. I kind of treat my sd card as an extra just in case backup. It catches things like downloads and the misc bullshit I have on my phone or transfer between computers.

A shocking number of them don't. Manufacturers have figured out that they can get more people to spend a higher amount for a phone with larger fixed storage when you don't have the choice to easily expand your storage.

I refuse to buy a phone without it for data loss reasons. If a phone dies with a sd card in it, that can be recovered in a lot of cases. If it dies without one, you are just SOL.

Strictly speaking here, something that could be fully repaired by the actual tools I have without just swapping for new purchased replacement parts would probably be one of my guitars. I could essentially make every piece of them from scratch if needed except maybe the pots, caps, and truss rod. I could probably repair the truss rod but making one from scratch would be tricky. If I had an acoustic guitar, that would be an easy answer.

It might not turn out well, but I could make it playable again.

I could repair anything on my bike, and kayak. I might be able to rebuild my snes on a component level.

If you allow replacement parts, almost anything can be repaired of you are willing to spend enough on it.

Happy Halloween

 

I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don't want to deal with smart bullshit and I would like something semi period correct. Does anyone have a recommendation? I remember Pioneer being really nice back in the early 00s but I never knew anyone who had one long term. Is this a terrible idea?

 

Yeah, not exactly BIFL but I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don't want to deal with smart bullshit. Does anyone have a recommendation? I remember Pioneer being really nice back in the early 00s but I never knew anyone who had one long term.

 

I think I may have accidentally pushed some secret combo to set the android system navigation bar and notification bar to auto hide but I can't find that anywhere in the system settings on Jerboa or Android. Anyone run into this before?

 

It has been a while since I have gotten to go to a proper show so me and a buddy went to see Jeff Rosenstock last night in Houston at White Oak Music Hall. They killed it, the show was great.

I wanted to pop in here and just say, I love the people in the punk community and I am happy that you all exist and you are doing what you are doing.

All three bands said some version of Fuck all the bullshit out there, and those who keep it going, look out for your neighbors and the good people in the world, protect those who are marginalized, and put good into the world. Have empathy for eachother, its critical now.

Thank you all for being who you are, thank you for picking people up in the pit(both the mosh and metaphorical one), for making sure people feel welcome and included, thank you for giving words to the feelings we have, and thank you for reminding me that there are like minded individuals out there who know the world can be better than it is, and for doing the things (big and little) that they can to make it better.

That's it, also my legs fucking hurt from moshing but it was worth it.
