Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.worldtoDIY@lemmy.world•Should I start to work on a carbon fiber electric guitar?English
4·5 days agoIt 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?

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner
19·7 days agoSolvent 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.

The sound that cover made if you scraped your fingernail across it was mint
Edit: I may be mis-remembering. I do remember some kind of holographic plastic cover journal that looked like that.

Technology@lemmy.world•It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"English
2·7 days agoHow 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.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most repairable "thing" you own?
6·11 days agoStrictly 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.

66·13 days agoFun fact: eyeballs and testicles are some of the most sensitive parts of the human anatomy to radio frequency heating damage because they are mostly liquid, close to the surface of the body, and have small blood vessels so they don’t get much blood flow (meaning they heat up easily and don’t lose heat quickly)

Complete ignorance of the process and how painful and slow it is. And for someone who by that point has probably established a life here and may or may not have ties to their birth country anymore or may have fled their birth country.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why is fossil fuel still used?
1·13 days agoMy understanding is that they either don’t meet us safety regulations both for crash testing and ev systems safety or they have not gone through the relevant regulatory steps to get those certificationa. The tarrifs certainly come into play as well though.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why is fossil fuel still used?
1·13 days agoWhy would you say that is? Not doubting you on that but it mostly seems like they are market priced as premium products. I.E. a Rivian is priced basically like a normal mid to high end suv. A base level model 3 is in line with a mid level camry iirc.

















That’s cool as hell, if I didn’t already have the base gba version I would jump on it.
