>>3000168>made a crappy weld then ground it off with flap disc and welded over it
why the fuck does a light switch need to be>smart
>>3000203My main usecase is turning on the light before I wake up
posting in a pedo thread
>>3000211Use case unclear
>>3000237>goes TAKTAKTAKTAK>have to set it manually every day>can't even yell it at via alexa>ugly eyesore>actually a plug

>>3000224>posting in a pedo threadI think you made a wrong turn and missed /b/ where im sure you meant to post that.
>>3000168nigga... I replaced ballasts in fluorescent fixtures without turning off the power, in a commercial setting. its nothing special.
>>3000168You couldn't figure out how to use your breaker panel, could you?
>>3000271I was watching a video game essay
>>3000168What if you didn't survive, and this is hell?
>>3000302I must have died a long, long time ago
Tied my own shoelaces today lads
>>3000203Can turn the lights on or off when curled up under a blanket without getting up
>>3000307What technique did you use?
>>3000399Loop swoop and pull :D
>>3000271Nothing on it is labelled properly. What if I turn off my wifi and can't youtube my way to turn it back on?
>>3000368In what situation do you need to do this?
>>3000203This way the CCP gets to know your sleep habits.
>>3000407In the exact situation I said. If you want lights on to walk to your seat and then want to turn them off. Or if you want to turn them on while your sitting down for whatever reason without walking over to the switch.
>>3000203>gringo sneaks into my house>camps at the light switch knowing that I'll either come to switch the light off or the electricity bill will ruin me eventually>it's a race against time>put on my nightvision goggles>ALEXA, NIGHTYPOO (my secret lights off keyword)>suddenly it's VANTADARK>do a 360noscope and instagib the gringo

>>3000168I smoked a cig once and didn't get lung cancer!
>>3000168You are boss.
>>3000556That's what you think.
>>3000203Please understand...
>>3003612>have a kid>dont teach them how to do things>lol these kids are retarded
>>3004064This is generally a fair assessment, but if he wasn't a moron he would have at least noticed the big knob. From there he could at least be expected to see the cutting wheels turn.
>>3004064>see your parents use a can opener your entire life>still cannot figure out how to operate said can opener that has existed in your presence your entire life even though you have no issues picking up a video game and figuring that shit out instantly >somehow this is everyone else's fault
>>3000168exactly how i felt replacing the ceiling fan 400v zapper with the power on.
>>3000240not mine. mine is dead fucking silent, turns on a nearby lamp (not actually the one behind it) to supposedly help me wake up but there's nothing short of firing blanks into the ceiling that'll wake me these days.
Just changed the oil and filter in my truck. Not a major flex. I did not spill a drop, which I think is bragworthy.
>>3000168Everyone starts smol. Continue, persevere and you can save absurd amounts of money over your lifetime doing what other ordinary humans do. You will make mistakes but that's the price of learning. Carry on anyway and see each task as opportunity.
>>3000168No you didn't anon. You clearly died then posted.
>>3000168I only clicked this thread for miu
>>3004938>
I want to hook up one of those auto switches to a few doors in my house so my bathroom, hall, and foyer lights come on automatically when certain doors are opened and stay on for a few minutes after.
>>3000168
>>3005792Holy moly.
>>3003612Maybe he's just a lefty. It took me years to learn how to operate these things, and I still can't cut paper straight.
>>3000169>>3000179has anyone ever invited you out to a party? No? I figured.

I just fixed some wood rot and it feels great. I only put it off a couple months.
>fixed my water heater all by myself (the fuse was off for some reason)It's been off for more than a year.
>discovered a baby gas leak on my furnace gas valve using soap>tightened the valve all by myself I've been smelling gas there for a long time, but I thought that was vaguely normal.
This is a good thread.
>changed a lightbulb and only burned my fingers slightly

I crimped it, all by myself
>>3013025make sure to use the plastic to crimp around the insulation, you shouldn't distort/damage the metal bit because that will give distorted wave forms which makes machines run rough an will cause excessive wear
>>3012936> covered OSBenjoy your cancer... slowly
>>3003612so annoying to see this argument being made by a boomer who can't even turn on gis computer without wiring his life savings to a Nigerian prince
>>3004791with... with the fan... turning???

>thing squeaks>tightened the knob>squeaking stopped
