The official FBI stats indicate that less than 5% of claims investigated turn out to be false. That’s counting hoaxes, false alarms, and malicious reporting. I want to say they investigate around 388,000 reports annually on average so the combined number of events that don’t turn out to be true is less than 20k and the number of purposely false claims is going to be a lot less than that.

I don’t know, let me ask the clock.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What can I put on a street lamp to stop the light in one direction?
73·4 days agoGet scissor cut black plastic sheet, something that’s ridgid, and silicone fishtank adhesive.
Cut the plastic to match the shape of the glass sections that face your window. Clean the glass with alcohol, then apply a thin layer of silicone to the plastic piece and press it to the glass. Use a finger to wipe any excess and ooze into a tight seam.
So long as it doesn’t hit sweltering hot, freezing cold, or rainy for the next 24hrs it takes to cure, that plastic isn’t comming off without a putty knife and effort (it will come off fine without harming it, but not on its own)
If you want to increase the chance that no one will do anything about it, do the same to every lamp on your block. Nothing hides vandalism like uniformity.

Don’t it always seem to go, That you don’t know what you’ve got 'til it’s gone, They paved paradise, put up a parking lot!
This, Janis Joplin’s Bobby McGee, and Chris Issac’s Don’t wanna Fall in Love are the secretly well practiced songs I keep in my pocket in case I’m ever pressured into karaoke.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are airsoft H&K SL8 replicas still a dream?
3·7 days agoHonestly yeah, it’s my go to for a lot of different projects. That said, I find you can get a near factory finish with abs, including textures you can’t print, without any changes in weight or sanding work using slurry and nonbinding materials to transfer the texture.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are airsoft H&K SL8 replicas still a dream?
2·8 days agoYeah, I think if I were really planning on a factory perfect look I’d go with extra walls and ABS. That way you could slurry dip all the pieces to remove lines and chemical bond them together for stability. It’s actually a lot easier than sanding or bondo, but the tradeoff is fumes and acitone so it’s not a perfect option.

9·8 days agoIt wouldn’t be too hard to 3d print parts and kitbash an existing gun into it. Given what I remember of airsoft, the 3d printer would be cheaper than the gun and you’d end up with a piece worth bragging about.
That’s correct, the only moral genocide is the genocide of the ruling class.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Build my PC into my Desk?
1·17 days agoI’ve done the measures on mine and I’m confident that I have the space needed.
For the vents I’ve actually switched to 45° baffet vents instead of holes, they’ll be more on theme for the build and allow a lot more air with less cutting.
Vibration is a great point that I didn’t consider, I have some cork sheets that I can cut to match the fan frame and that should do wonders. I may even add some acoustic foam to the other side just to quite down the metals.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Build my PC into my Desk?
2·17 days agoHow large of a diameter are we taking? I have two 4in fans I was planing on making part of the desk and then the two 3in that are part of the tower that I plan to connect to the drawer.
I do have everything set up to properly insulate the components and someone else pointed out that mounting the PSU directly to the drawer will also ground it. So I got that going for me.

2·18 days agoI actually considered doing exactly that prior to finding my perfect desk! I opted against it because I want to hang my laser etcher on the wall in a magnet backed box so I can magnet the things im working on into place. The drawer in question literally just has junk in it, like rocks and stuff, so I’m not losing anything by putting a computer in it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Build my PC into my Desk?
4·18 days agoAnother guy suggested putting the power and reset on the external dock I’m going to put on the desk, that shouldnt be difficult at all as I’m currently already using a custom one and extending the cables will be a breeze.
I actually use strictly hardline on this machine, I have a long history of shitty internet and houses that muck with wifi so I’m never going to bother putting a wifi card in this guy.
I’ve had some experience there, and you’re right. Over the course of this post I’ve settled on doing vents like this instead of holes. I did sheet metal fab at one point and got pretty good at straightening these angled slats out so it should be quick work to cut bend and rotate them. These were common on economy value fixtures during the era plus it will flow seamlessly into the body and that’s gonna look very professional.

1·18 days agoShit, that would be really cool. I’ll have to somewhat I need to do a Watercooling setup.
I used to build industrial scale agricultural sprayers for a living and we had this setup for hot swapping sprayer assemblies, it’d be so cool to build that into the drawer so that pulling the drawer out disconnects the water circulation for easy cleaning.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Build my PC into my Desk?
4·18 days agoI figure my rig will have plenty of overhead in just the single drawer and with the extender cables and built in wiring I should be able to just pull the whole drawer out if I need to do any serious hardware work. I do like the idea of premade vents, that would probably be easier to make than drilling the holes myself by hand.
Looks like the cooling setup isn’t far off from my plan at all though, so that’s giving me hope.

10·18 days agoGods no, this is literally my deal desk and my grand kids will be inheriting it!
I’m hoping to make tasteful passthroughs that will both blend seamlessly into the construction and the style of the era without damaging the overall quality and aesthetic.
I’m even painting mine in a period accurate burn orange and repolisjing the formica. The beige is classic, but it needs some rust work and if I’m doing that I may as well get it perfect.

Theyre not punished for it, the report is found to be false during the investigation and you may be surprised to find out the investigations are rarely public enough for anyone to know they happened.
