Thanks for that tidbit, I just think there’s no reason to ever use centimeters. 1000mm = 1m, 1000m = 1km, 1000g = 1kg, 1000kg = 1T But centimeters aren’t timesable/divisable by 1000 to change units thus every construction site I’ve worked on has banned them to avoid confusion and I agree.

Centimeters aren’t metric. On a construction site if you use CM and not millimeters they use machinery to give you a wedgie.

Anarcho-transhumanism, or ig more open source innovations unsullied by the profit motive would-be nice.

Happy lem-aversery would work I think

Yes, slightly inefficient but it’s an interesting workaround. I would say just grab a plug in lamp and splice the cable on the netral but this project really should have an earth connection for safety. Grab an extension lead and a standard ceiling socket, cut the female head off the lead and mount the light socket to some timber and pass the earth through and bond to any non-live exposed metal. Smashing the light also functions as a ghetto emergency stop button :) Edit: be aware that DC suffers more voltage drop than AC, keep the lines short or use thicker cables to compensate

I can think of three potential issues with a charging brick; The increase of resistance as a light or element warms up may actually be desirable as it would allow a higher start up current before providing stable DC Secondly, a charging brick would drop the voltage down to 12/24ish Thirdly, you won’t be able to wire it in series as you can’t share a DC negative / mains neutral on the return path if there’s transformer or different voltages

I see, the instructable suggests using an incandescent (specifically not flouro) globe wired in series with a full bridge rectifier to convert to DC. This would limit the current but is a bit ghetto and the light/heat produced is wasted energy. However a lighting ballast may not be useable as tesla coils are generally dependent on frequency. A globe or element would increase resistance as it warms as they have positive temperature coefficients. So in this case I would say wire a standard globe in series on the active side going into a rectifying diode or full bridge rectifier to convert to DC power. wire mains active to globe socket then globe neutral into diode into your circuit then circuit negative to mains neutral. Hope this helps, best of luck (stay safe) Note: I’m Australian and not overly familiar with your 110v residential wiring, caution advised

Good shout, I was thinking the Audio Technica logo but LP logo is closer

I don’t think you can use anything as a ballast. A heating element or light bulb could function as a resistor or fuse but it’d be better to use a resistor or fuse. What’s the objective of the ballast? To limit current, to provide start up voltage, output a certain frequency of power or perhaps to provide an inductive or lagging load to counteract a capacative or leading load and manage power factor

I would expect a chocking death to be some kind of crushing hazard. Don’t know why anyone would chock an airway but it makes sense it would lead to choking.

Would it be possible to volunteer some time to an organization like food not bombs I heard they were getting fines and arrested for distributing food. You could possibly secure some food, help the community and still potentially go to prison for not paying the bogus fine.

Wow, very glad we haven’t turned cars into data harvesting surveillance apparatus’ … Wait I’m being handed a note… Oh no.

Tell my why is a song by supermode with a dope remix by maddix. We all deserve better music than manufactured reductive pop.

As long as data harvesting is legal and profitable, privacy will be a cat and mouse game. Gotta wonder how much capital and human effort is invested into all these anti-consumer innovations.

Buy a few self urine test kits from ebay, check every 3-5 days, drink lots of water, run lots! As an 85kg heavy smoker it usually takes me 3 ish weeks to pee clean. Good luck!

“Noting that some of the records included data that could be used to determine where a call was made or text message sent”

Data breaches in surveillance capitalism. Very cool, very normal.
