You have a point.

Thats a beautiful countryside, I'd love to live in a place like that someday. Nice looking renovation too, that place was pretty dilapidated.

I like that you could take it all apart for storage or transport.

True. I'm looking at this as DIY entertainment rather than anything I feel qualified to attempt. :D

BISH · 2023-03-17T14:27:36+00:00

It's a cool idea.

However, every measurement and feature has to be exact, otherwise it will wobble out of balance.

Cutting perfectly balanced ellipses, with a jigsaw? That's no joke.

JasonCarswell · 2023-01-24T00:11:22+00:00

In short, get a small (or big) metal garbage can or a metal ammunition box, put your items in thick freezer bags so they don't come in contact with the metal can/box, and that should be good though you may wish to use aluminum/metal/foil tape to seal the rim of the lid. He showed a bunch of emergency stuff to include and keep in there should a solar flare or nuke happen. Walkie-talkies, radios, batteries, laptop, Geiger counter, generator, etc. Anything with electronics.

Boiling grapefruit and lemon skins for 3 hours makes something that she calls a 'natural form of HLQ'. Okay, but what does it really make?

It's both impressive and weird.

hennaojichan · 2021-06-25T01:20:16+00:00

During the shortages that might be coming up, you could keep something cooking down there all the time for when you meet hungry people. Onion rings might be worth experimenting with. 😜

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-06-25T00:35:04+00:00

Cornstarch batter is tasty, it's light and crispy. Supposedly even adding a little to flour batters helps make their airier.

I have taters too.... Hmm.

hennaojichan · 2021-06-25T00:15:28+00:00

That tip comes from Ken Kesey, via one of his books. I think the key is a light coating or you'll be making hush puppies.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-06-24T23:59:47+00:00

I have tried using it under my arms as an alternative to antiperspirant. It wasa while ago but "gloopy" comes to mind.

hennaojichan · 2021-06-24T23:57:01+00:00

You can also put a bit around your testicles instead of talcum powder to keep those nether regions dry in the record heat.

I'll go through there and check it out. There seems to be a debate on whether it's as good as bovine bones there.

Thank you!

Hmm, I wonder about the legality of camel bone. I'll look at mammoth bone, that one sounds spendy

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-03-30T04:27:49+00:00

What about mammoth bone, not sure how hard it is to work but it'd be awesome to own. I think camel bone is supposed to be easy to work with.

frankielc · 2021-03-29T21:50:56+00:00

Today my baby monitor broke. Did my best to repair it.

I guess the only way to fix it was to solder in the most used antenna for wifi drive-by penetration.

My partner took my word for it! 😜

Groovy. I recommend people skip right to that second vid in the comments.

When I was a teenager I started working on a mechanical hand. I'm pretty sure I still have one of the early 3-segmented wood fingers I carved with a Dremel. I was more of a sculptor than engineer then so I abandoned that project.

Along with the dandelion, we in the eastern U.S. have polkberry plants (they are very common here as they are spread wide by the birds) and polk salad was popular among the poor, rural population a century ago. It had to be twice boiled (maybe more) to be safe, though.

I can't understand how contestants on the Naked and Afraid show can't find leaves or roots to eat. 21 days is not that long. I am also curious how they use worms for fishing and trapping, but they can't find insects to eat.

I owned an appliance repair company for years. Charged $125.00 to do this for people. Easy money. So please don't do it yourself... call me! Hahahaha

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-15T21:36:01+00:00

If you have a Tractor Supply Store they sell it. That place is awesome.

And then what the hell am I going to do with all the leftover oats

Keep growing grass. The stuff only lives for a couple weeks, my understanding because small planters can't handle the roots oat grass needs.

Node · 2021-02-15T15:30:45+00:00

Buy wheat, and make wheatgrass juice for yourself. Assuming the cats would go for wheat sprouts as much as oat sprouts.

jykylsin2034 · 2021-02-15T12:36:26+00:00

Just grow some catnip and bring some in occasionally so the cat can't devour the whole plant, continuous supply

ohkrill · 2021-02-15T12:01:13+00:00

The time I spend looking for and driving to an animal feed store just to buy an enormous bag of oats is going to cost me more than buying a little container of cat grass at the pet store.

And then what the hell am I going to do with all the leftover oats?

Jesus-Christ · 2021-02-05T22:42:51+00:00

True, but tbh whey makes me bloated and the good stuff can get expensive if you use it everyday.

Nah, just normal runny-honey.

I just added the pineapple in because it was what I was told to do tbh, I just needed an easy-to-make smoothie to get my calories in for the day and it does the job. The recipe was listed as a "meal replacement" one but you most likely know more about the stuff than I do, I mean I drink it with my lunch so I'm technically having two meals in one sitting I suppose.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-05T20:53:32+00:00

That's why living on this is not ideal. Although our pets generally live on something very similar.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-05T20:51:09+00:00

The glyphosate content of pea protein concerns me. And it does taste awful.

black forest fruits

That's different. And honey? Do you use a special kind o honey? And I'm curious if you go for raw pineapple for the bromelain.

Jesus-Christ · 2021-02-05T20:20:13+00:00

I usually just use full fat greek yogurt, oats, pineapple chunks, black forest fruits, and two tabelspoons of honey. For protein I use whey, but considering pea protein since it's cheaper and also easier on my stomach. It just tastes like shit and hard to mask imo.

C3P0 · 2021-02-05T12:39:34+00:00

What about the undiscovered vitamins? How can you be sure that you are getting enough of these vitamins and minerals if they haven't been noted or named by mankind yet?

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-05T07:56:01+00:00

I assume you're on some kind of potassium sparing diuretic

Close, ace inhibitor.

Epsom salt is just what I have handy, and it's cheap. One of these days I'll get a better form of magnesium but I'll have to order it, all the stores here have is magnesium oxide supplements.

Comatoast · 2021-02-05T03:09:06+00:00

Also, an amazing protein brand is isopure low carb. It has a really nice list of added vitamins, minerals and aminos and actually has a hefty chunk of protein at 25g/scoop vs a lot of other brands typically seen in bigger stores. Look at IgennusPure & Essential Advanced Vitamins & Minerals for a good multi. It's b-vitamins are methylated.

Comatoast · 2021-02-05T02:56:55+00:00

They make potassium supplements in amounts too low to be harmful if taken at recommended dosage on the bottle. Funny enough, low sodium spicy V8 has a pretty hefty chunk in there for potassium. I assume you're on some kind of potassium sparing diuretic? Remember magnesium glycinate and magnesium oil. Magnesium glycinate is better absorbed than it's citrate version, and won't give you the turboshits. The "oil" is just used topically, and you don't have to deal with full body stiff/sticky sensations that you do with epsom baths. Also, making sure salt you get has natural mineral content and iodine in it is a good idea for healthy thyroid support.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-05T01:43:29+00:00

One of the most noticeable things this will be deficient on is magnesium. I take as needed (magnesium sulfate, epsom salt), you'll feel when you need magnesium, your muscles get sore and crampy.

Potassium is low too, but with my meds I can't take potassium willy nilly. That's one, like iron, you should get tested for first before supplementing. It's also dangerous in high amounts.

Regular salt you need too, but generally that's satisfied by the diet.

tomatosplat · 2020-12-10T15:24:23+00:00

Like that piering; we always just used a bag of quickcrete, but in a scenario with no water this would be handy

JasonCarswell · 2020-11-28T18:37:16+00:00

Ditto. I make things that are functional, usually solid, too often a little wonky, and rarely elegant and beautiful. In the end it's far from good, but good from far, if you don't look close.

tomatosplat · 2020-11-27T05:13:21+00:00

Badass fit! Wish I was that talented at carpentry

Trip_the_Fantastic · 2020-11-21T04:04:27+00:00

All the silly stuff doesn't work for me. Channel has over 4 million subscribers, so apparently it does work for plenty of people!

I'd love to do my part to breathe some life into this channel, but I might find it difficult to actually watch any of these videos. I guess I'll have to keep looking for other ways.

Anyway, the result looks really cool.

JasonCarswell · 2020-10-09T06:00:05+00:00

The base seems too heavy for the top, but there are aspects of both I like separately.

JasonCarswell · 2020-10-04T17:42:32+00:00

I still have my Commodore 64 and stuff - but no monitor.

JasonCarswell · 2020-10-02T18:57:09+00:00

I know this isn't a tricky project, but it's classy.

In fact, I was already planning to do this... to my mobile garden. I'm currently building my 3rd maquette (mini model) to work out how I'm going to construct the 2 "wagon farms" that I can move around my yard without killing my grass, getting sunburned or out from the shade. Basically it's like a short 4'x8' plywood table on large castor wheels with foot high edges to hold the pots and/or dirt. I'll be posting more in /s/microgrowery as I build these and my basement winter garden.

Because my 2 large garden wagons might meet objections from neighbours or whatever, I am determined to add some class to my plywood and 2x4 project. I was already intending to "frame" the foot-high sides of my mobile gardens, inspired by the final room in 2001 A Space Odyssey - except I intend to use more interesting colours AND I'll make some more custom acanthus stencils for ornamentation in quick fashion (good from far even if far from good). I love bold acanthus designs, like this heart I designed that someone emailed me after she had someone modify it into a skeleton key for her back tattoo. I've made many other stencils, but there's never too many.

Having YouTube recommend this to me out of the blue is like the Universe conspiring in my favour.

JasonCarswell · 2020-09-12T09:59:20+00:00

Me too. Clever stuff. Envy porn. I'd like to do some of that stuff.

Probably. Might be handy if you want to make hand sanitizer. Anyway, I've tried making beer in the past and the results just weren't worth the effort.

Edge_Finder · 2020-07-20T00:14:39+00:00

its actually would taste like shit, sry

Optimus85 · 2020-07-20T00:13:19+00:00

I wouldn't know as I've never made ethanol before. It's just a quick and dirty how-to.

Edge_Finder · 2020-07-19T22:40:26+00:00

this is really a bad video btw

ithere is so many things wrong with this

d3rr · 2020-07-10T20:41:52+00:00

Yeah I'd imagine that some sort of app like this exists. The whole turn on at a certain time part might be difficult. Here's a start?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en_US

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bakemyapps.quotesalarm&hl=en_US

An app that loads up a web page on alarm sounds pretty cool, so you can jump into a video or a slideshow or whatever.

mikipika · 2020-07-10T00:41:33+00:00

Why make it so complicated? low tech solution Jesus-Christ, are you beating around the bush for the solution to a more naughty plan? Put a mirror up there like already. :)

Jesus-Christ · 2020-07-09T21:16:14+00:00

Android, yes, no. Would I need a server? I honestly don't know a thing about those type of things, I was honestly just assuming that there'd be some sort of program or app that would atleast make it so it boots directly to a gallery of saved qoutes or something. Ideally it'd be connected to some sort of website. Any directions you could lead me in so I have an idea of where to start?

d3rr · 2020-07-09T19:54:25+00:00

Sounds fun. iOS? Android? Are you willing to disable the lock screen password? Is another PC or server running 24/7 to push shit to the tablet when the time is right?

I've seen similar things done with arduino or raspberry pi with a screen.

JasonCarswell · 2020-05-07T04:24:58+00:00

I've been watching this guy's weekly developments for about a half year, though I've caught some intermittent developments since his initial viral video (linked below). I didn't want to spam SaidIt with non-critical non-political stuff, but now his marble machine is really coming together.

Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles) (4:33) ~ Wintergatan, 2016-03-01

Curiously at the time, and with the sound was expertly sewn together, I wasn't aware that his original plywood version was not precise enough to complete a whole song successfully so the video (linked) is edited together from a collection of several attempts (as obviously the camera changes position, yet other cameras are not in shot, thus it's not cut from one take).

Eventually with a reliable machine he intends to do a world tour.

Worth also checking out are his band's earlier live performances with much simpler encoded machines.

JasonCarswell · 2020-05-03T21:47:57+00:00

I like the idea of bombing the surrounding mailboxes with gnarly fake postcards. Too bad you can't get close to the ruling class or their neighbours' mailboxes easily.

That's for the better of all: if you can make it, your enemy can just as easily.

James_Kuhn3rd · 2019-09-20T13:40:58+00:00

Everything you're wanting to do can be done. It's generally much easier with enterprise grade equipment, such as ubiquiti or microtik which are on the cheap side.

As far as the computer and FreeNas, unless that computer can run ECC ram(server grade) you might be better off turning that box into a pfSense router/firewall. FreeNas is designed for enterprise grade storage. If your looking for simple, easy storage you could much easier take that old computer and turn it into a Debian or CentOS caching server much easier than using FreeNas. You'd probably want to look into a gig our fiber NIC card, you can get used server ones pretty cheap on eBay still.

If you want to stick with your D-Link, you probably need to look into building or buying some type of waterproof box since it will be exposed to the elements, and you need to look into ddwrt or tomato.

But generally running an open Wi-Fi box isn't that hard. Most routers rented or sold by Comcast or Cox or the other ISPs broadcast a separate Wi-Fi network for their customers that anyone can connect to.

I'm pretty sure, you're ok if you run an open Wi-Fi. Of course you might get your equipment confiscated until they clear you, especially if you're doing something like running a TOR node or endpoint.

useless_aether · 2019-08-28T21:44:46+00:00

i did a run last week and it was, ahem ...a blazing success! yielded 16x more biochar than my tlud beer keg and it took only an hour. it was super hot with giant, violent flames, like a rocket engine. pretty sure i deorbited the planet!

because of the heat, it was hard to add new layers neatly, but i managed to push in pre-arranged piles with a long handled hoe. used mostly dry sumac, pine and poplar.

def worth the effort!

Timmy · 2019-08-12T19:44:14+00:00

That's not really helpful if the issue is a cracked pane of glass.

JasonCarswell · 2019-07-01T10:46:14+00:00

All of these images are fancier than necessary.

If you have a wooden baseball bat and know what the thread is on your camera, you can drill a hole in the center of the end of the handle, then clue a nut in there with the same thread. Using a threaded rod, or hacksaw off the head of a bolt - you screw it into the nut in the camera and the end of the baseball bat. Holding the bat handle at the top by the camera and letting the bat hang down will provide weight and stability and a perceptible center of gravity to your shots, especially when taking corners.

If you can't do that then use anything similar. Duct tape your camera to a 2x4, a stick, a hammer, a stack of soup cans, or a 2 litre soda bottle (frozen or fully filled so you don't record sloshing sounds).

Anything with weight and a hanging length, distributed wider is even better.

Yes, you may get tired. Prepare for that, and for better shots.

ikidd · 2019-06-22T05:07:44+00:00

Openwrt or ddwrt can allow you to create subinterfaces that you can set firewall rules against. but I don't think that router is supported by either, though you can pick up an inexpensive one that is.
