The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed.

Previous dying thread: >>1844809

I have a staircase which leads to my underground garage, it gets no sun and is always very cool, its 30c degrees just now outside. There is a river right beside my house which is higher than the garage just now as weve had a lot of rain, so the water table in the ground is also above the garage.

At the bottom of the staircase there is mold just above the tiles, I assume its from the water but im not sure. There is no mold in the garage just this staircase and strangely the mold level is not consistent, pic related. Why is the mold on different levels and not one level where the water line would be?

Any advice before I dig up the ground outside to check the damp proof course?";

String comment = "Why did stick framing develope in America. I know that it's a cheap way of construction in the US, but it's inferior to the sturdiness and beauty traditional framing.
One reason that I read on the web is that you get more lumber for your money buying 2x4, than buying the same in cubic feet of bigger lumber. Which is kinda stupid to me, because getting 2x4's must take more cuts and processing than a bigger wood. My friends dad only cuts roof battons in his mill because he makes more profit on those, because he has to make more precision cuts, thus adds more value and works. So the price is higher to.
Americans how does timber framing make sense pls explain.";

String comment = "First off, I’m super fucking mad that this trend has taken off because I remember thinking of a similar idea (a mask with one way valves to be used with a snorkel to keep water out while diving down) and everyone I talked to about it told me it was retarded
Now look where we are.

Anyways, since the early bird caught the worm on this I’ll Atleast try to have some fun with it

Explain to me the obvious (and maybe not so obvious) difficulties or impossibilities of doing the following
>3D print an adapter for top of mask to replace snorkel bit
>adapter then attaches to a large flexible hose (think the pipe on a vacumn but not actually that)
>at the top of the pipe have some sort of flotation device that keeps the top afloat
>????
>profit

It’s essentially a diving bell to give you an idea of what I’m going for, obviously it shouldn’t be used for anything beyond say, 30 ft and even that’s a bit ambitious but for a hobbyist and shits and giggles I think it would be fun if it worked

Now here’s some of my thoughts currently, feel free to add on
>how to expel CO2 while maintaining air pipe
Most designs on these masks have 1 way valves on them 1 pulls air in from the top of the snorkel while the other expels it out the bottom or through a channel that is separate from the intake part of the snorkel
This means that if the adapter is made specifically to only fit the air intake channel then it would be fine

>possible issue of getting air down to user (pumping maybe?)
I don’t think this would be an issue at less than 30 feet but I could be wrong, I’ve done a thing called snuba which essentially is my idea but with a compressed tank at the surface Instead

>Inb4 shit idea
>inb4 your gonna kill yourself

Most likely won’t ever use it below 20 ft if I even make it this is more because me and some friends are curious if it would even work and are arguing about it";

My mom's air conditioner has stopped shutting off tonight. It was working fine yesterday, but today it just keeps running. It's not cooling any further than normal, and it doesn't seem to be failing to cool, but the fan never shuts off. The compressor kicks on every few minutes in very short cycles.

Does this sound like any common type of problem that is easy to diagnose? Any idea on a quick fix?";
