I think since this board is the spiritual focus of the prophecy, it is having a strange effect on certain minds, drawing them closer, urging them to discover the truth. Such is our power, even google can bend to the will of a true believer.

I'm not sure if this goes in /poof/ or here, but: I'm looking to make a decent modern hooded cloak.

The idea is simple: I want something that is waterproof and insulates at the same time. Something like a thermal poncho. The attached picture is too fancy for my liking, but the rough shape is right. I want something like it using modern materials which is water proof, well insulated, and dries quickly. While I'm at it, I want my cake and eat it too.

All google can find is re-enactment stuff. I don't give a toss about being period-accurate: I want to create something useful.

Do you have any sources/ideas?

I read that threat, which made me partially lose interest in this one. The only problem is that useful coats cost a fair chunk of money and lack a built-in hood (I have a wax jacket with a tack-on hood; it's would be OK on a longer cloak based on that, but adds even more to the cost). As for your closing statement: no. There is no modern equivalent (the closest match is a poncho, but see above why I'm unhappy with those) and the reason I want to make my own is precisely because of that.

A wide brimmed hat can do a fine job, too, but keeping it on your head requires straps or a tight fit; a hood can fit securely without such forceful attachments. A cloak is generally just cosier and more comfortable; it's like wearing your own personal tent. Anything with sleeves sort of feels like it separates your arms from the rest of yourself when you try and huddle up; a cloak (or poncho or similar) doesn't.

>>582
Would be fine 'cept for he sleeves.

Do you mean truly mechanical or electronic or what?

http://www.homebrewcpu.com/

There have been some good homebrew CPUs recently. These are more of a hark-back to the first seventies/eighties computers that were on the market and aren't mechanical.

Truly mechanical would be very very difficult I think.

583 Bastard windows recycle
Now I love a good sash over those nasty double glazing units as much as the next man, but the ones in my new lair are beginning to mock me.

What do you lot suggest as to making them less cold-making? I've filled in the cracks, then filled the joints up too. Some pillicock had gloss painted the frames, you see, so as well as being old they were rather loose.

I think the slim panes are acting as a heatsink for the room. I can't stand against the mantelpiece and denounce the Nineteen Sixties whilst the curtains are billowing. Help.

PS I have considered Perspex but have no idea where to get it.

You can get this cling-film stuff for sealing windows. You stick it around the edges of the frames and then use a warm hair-dryer. It stretches slightly and goes practically invisible. Works fine.

You can get it, and perspex, from B&Q.

I too am interested in making things out of aluminium. I have an all aluminium guitar which was made on a CNC machine. I would quite like another one as well!

The problem is its a lot of money to drop on something you'd just like to have a crack at.

There are ways to play with this sort of thing, without all the costs of fitting out workshop or destroying tools / materials with dodgy programming / rough software / blatant fuckup.
http://www.emachineshop.com/ , for instance, is a sort of reference. There are others, including more local ones. Or you can dig out a local CNC shop from the yellow pages. You get a lot of prototypes for the cost of a CNC mill, lathe & learning curve.

Yeah. You need 6mm2 cable at the very least and a seperately fused 30 amp switch for a cooker. If this is the OPs first go at electrickery, I would seriously give it a miss.

I don't think we disagree as much as you think we do. My point was that your average punter really does need to take extra special care because
> you'll be wanting to turn it off at the mains
they won't do that. Dealing with electrics at that scale requires an amount of care that "meh, it'll do" doesn't cover. It's not rocket science, but it's not building a sand castle either.

Cum once dryed over the top of my japs eye giving the same effect as glue. When I came to piss I suffered from a good 5 seconds of pain as a backlog of pee built up until the the spermy wall gave way.

I guess with glue it wouldn't give way so soon. Christ it hurt. I laughed afterwards though.

There wasn't any hating. It was hailed as a great invention brought about by war. Which is sort of the case, although it didn't come up as a direct consequence. In fact, I think pretty much everything is a direct or indirect effect of war. An Naziism being an indirect effect, it would be moderately sensible to say that it wasn't brought about by war at all. This in turn raises the question: what the fuck was 371 on about?
