I can read your license plate. You failed to Blake it out. I am already on my way from America to rape you.
NO YOU FAILED, BLAKE, I got your IP and am now 2 streets away from prolapsing your shitpipe you israelite worshipping American Black persongoblin
Bist du ein deutscher?
not OP but thats a netherlands numberplate
lol wasn't there a meme on PrepHole in 2012 about that
How to ID a euro poster:
1. No ac
2. Wacky windows
Can’t you just get an AC like an actual human and cool your room that way?
You solution is much less elegant.
AC was way less popular here, bcs people didn't instal air ducts in their houses. But now the trend has changed, alot of new houses use a central recuperation system (pic related, outgoing air heats the fresh air via heat exchanger). People are also rapidly installing ductless mini split heapuns which are use for cooling and heating. Also classic fans are way more popular, and we can get more power for the fans the standard single phase 230V/16A sockets. Most homes also have 380V/20A three phase plugs, how can you even live with 120V plugs.
Okay bud, but how easy is it to generate your own power in euroland? I can get a generator for less than $400 fill it woth gas and be microwave cheese burgers in minutes.
>I can get a generator for less than $400 fill it woth gas and be microwave cheese burgers in minutes
We can too?
It goes from uncomfortably hot to barely hotter than the rest of the house. If I wasn't there to feel the difference myself I wouldn't believe it.
>heapuns
Heat pumps
Based. If you wanna make it more permament I'd recommend a 2 hose unit, they're way more efficient
Thought about converting it
But it seems like it has one big intake.
The next one will definitly be a two hose model. But they are hard to find in stores.
>how can you even live with 120V plugs.
Probably because I don't use hurricane-force winds to cool down my house?
Pic related is a 1000 watt fan, it's 1.5 meters in diameter and moves over 1000 cubic meters of air every minute.
And the standard answer to every yuro who obsesses over North America's 120v outlets:
- Large appliances like ovens and A/C units run on 240v
- Tea is not very popular so most people do not even own an electric kettle
- Every other electric appliance does not draw anywhere near the 1.5 kW limit
>- Tea is not very popular so most people do not even own an electric kettle
Coffeemakers are electric kettles, my man.
Yes they are, in a way. They're not like electric tea kettles though, where the objective is to boil 1 liter of water as quickly as possible. Coffee makers slowly trickle hot water over the grounds, which can easily be accomplished with lower amounts of power.
Real men just use a centrifugal blower to fan a fire up to white-hot temps, and then easily boil 50L of water in 10 minutes.
my electric kettle run just fine on 120v
>Can’t you just get an AC like an actual human and cool your room that way?
>Can't you just spend thousands on a piece of equipment that's only useful for like 2 weeks in a year?
It doesn't get as hot here as it does there. Also

euro here, have a split unit cooling my bedroom which is on the southside of the house. shit is cool when i turn it on for a few minutes after the sun has set
Not everyone likes AC.
Want to watch TV while laying on couch and getting full face blast of air from fan that doesn't pivot down far enough and is on the opposite side of the couch from TV viewing direction. What do?
ask me how i KNOW you smoke weed
How?
Left will be right, and right will be left on the TV reflection you are watching, it's USELESS. Burn down your house and start over.
Imagine not being able to easily read backwards text when necessary, and missing out on seeing bongs operating cars from normal steering wheel positions and driving them on the correct side of the road.
How does your computer tangibly heat your room? Bullshit.
Running a 400-500W space heater in a small room will certainly make a difference, especially when you're sitting next to it
>how to spot a PClet in one easy post
fricking phone posters man
Computations give off waste heat. Also, running a computer is a more productive thing to do to heat your home than using a space heater. It’s called exergy efficiency, look it up. Space heaters are lying to you about their efficiency by cherry picking what kind of efficiency they are measuring.
back when mining was profitable to the home user I also had electric heat in my apartment. So instead of running the heat I just ran computers in all of my rooms, it cost the same in electricity but I got 10 bitcoins over that winter.
I keep my CRT running when I sleep on really cold winter nights.
I just dim the display and put a shirt covering the rest of the light.
My PC room gets hit hard by the afternoon sun, this made a huge difference.
Your penultimate cuckroom?
Did the same shit. Setting sun this time of year hitting my kitchen Windows at around 6pm. Just taped some aluminum foil to the Windows. Dropped the kitchen temp at least 10-15 degrees.
The fancy gila titanium tint does the same shit and you can still use the window as a window.
Drastically?
Doubtful.
My ACsetup in the bedroom.
>the house is 100 years old.
The bends are not ideal.
Thought about a more permanent pipes.
The gaps are closed with transparent tape.
Very nice
The switch telling the dishwasher that its closed was made out of the cheapest plastic shit that warps due to heat. Got tired of bending the fricking thing back in place so it would run. Decided to cut a hole in the thing and put a switch to tell it is closed. I added a cover and labeled it so it doesn’t look as shoddy.
>denzelwithcigmyhomie.jpg
This one should get a prize for not only being crude and janky but also for bypassing at least two obvious methods of solving the problem that would require less work and parts, and would also be reversible.
Well done!
Why not just jumper out the switch? Or buy a 3 dollar replacement
Nice idea. I keep a freezer in a small room with ventilation holes. The freezer heats up the place, maybe I could connect it's exhaust directly to the vent system.
Old pic since I've done some rearranging but you can see the shelf and fan a bit
>Router is on top shelf of cheap plastic shelving with no airflow
>Get a 120mm usb fan
>cut a hole to match the fan in the top shelf with a dremel
>mount it on the underside blowing downward
>put the router on top of it
>router peaks at room temp now
>And it doubles as a cooler for the blacklight I stuck on underneath it
the next hottest thing is your monitor, you can get a long thin rectangular duct square section to mount above and capture the heat.
The monitor was only there for about a week, and that was after installing the fan so it wasn't really a heat factor. It's now on my worktable hooked up to an even older desktop and my switch on an 80mm fan hooked up to an HDMI hub because frick Switch docks in hotter climates.
Honestly the monitor is some decade old DELL hand me down but damn is it a hardy motherfricker
I did have to grab small fan off Amazon to blow on the back of my TV though, as there is basically no airflow back there and was made worse by the cheap wall tapestries I used to hide the blank walls.
I'm pretty psyched for the sequel.
>fat-thumbed the trackpad and ate a paragraph
Frick I was also gonna say the duct was a good suggestion but the heat isn't really centralized there, the fan was just the result of a general worry of electronics overheating and I had just bought my dremel tool.
>Have new thing
>Need to use new thing
I absolutely love that feeling. Especially when new thing is that versatile.
>I absolutely love that feeling
Similar to when an unexpected disaster occurs and you wind up using 5 or 10 tools that you've accumulated over the years, and if you were missing any one of them the job would have been impossible.
>fat-thumbed the trackpad
imagine not using a trackpoint
if anon was cool, he would build a vent hood like a blacksmith's forge

Uh, are those your big toes, or are your thumbs really shrek tier?
Car made squeaking noise when idling in neutral. Noise goes away when clutch pressed, obviously the throwout bearing is rubbing and squeaking. Noise goes away when you press on the clutch fork. Solution: use rubber bands. They've held up a pretty long time, and I'll just keep replacing the rubberbands until it's time to replace the clutch when I'll actually fix the problem with some high temp grease.
Nice. What make/model? I'm trying to figure out how you've got such an open area looking down at the slave cylinder. Is it a truck? A big truck?
Inquiring minds want to know!
1997 Toyota Camry (XV10) 4cyl manual. Tons of space in there, great car for wrenching and very reliable
Tapped and put a bolt in this baby gate and put a wooden stop at the bottom so it doesn’t swing down the stairs when it’s not locked. Been working great for 2 years.
bro clean your house holy shit
That bad huh? I mean it's working..
Your PC vent is not a bad idea at all. Execution could be better. I'm thinking about doing this myself by using a dryer vent. My Ryzen 9 w/ a 3080 gets HOT HOT HOT. It heats my room so much that I've had to install a window shaker AC to assist the central AC.
About to do that exact build for a new rig, what do you do for cooling?
So far I have planned a closed loop cooler for the CPU and as many Noctua's or Gentle Typhoons as my case will fit for the GPU
will that be enough?
I have big cool master water cooler, but the CPU still gets pretty damned hot and I'm just using the fans and heatsinks that are on the video card.
I use a single 12V (2A?)power supply to power both the modem and the router. Takes three less spaces on the outlet, because fricking wallwarts.
I want to do something like this.
I want to get a large quiet computer style fan and mount it to my ceiling tile bracket and have the dryer tubing run the hot air out to a room that's less used.
I bought the biggest case I could find along with the biggest and best fans I could get for circulation in my PC. My PC actually cools off the area around my desk. Not only that, but it seconds as an air filter as well. I love my PC.
