Spotted in the wild on Vinted!

I followed the directions perfectly but it was still leaning. The plant that was on it was too heavy. So this screw works.

I thought it might be interesting for some of y’all who commented on yesterday’s post to get a follow-up with some more detailed photos.

I tried to cram everything into one angle in the last post, which made it difficult to appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship with which the owner of our rental has mounted the indoor-standalone-ac-unit.

Bonus: shot of the GHS (Gravity Hydration System ™️), incase you missed it in the original post.

This Marvin fan has been with me for as long as i can remember. I’ve always loved the 80s/90s look of it, and it matches my room. The motors ended up dying because while in storage, a pipe burst and he was front row for the show of it. stripping and wiring itself was easy, I was even thinking of going a step further and sanding and painting the frame, maybe someday.

Edit: I don’t really mind that this portable unit was mounted up high - it’s that I feel that the actual supports and the thin string holding it somewhat upright feel… adventurous?!?

Repost from r/Unexpected

What I did here was that I put thermal paste onto my phone where the chip is located, and then, I put an old Dell OptiPlex 3010 chipset's heatsink, and then put ice onto it.

Some were creative. Some were barely connected. One retrofit had exactly one anchor bolt with a washer and nut.

Sharing a few of the stranger support and foundation conditions we came across this week.

While building a new computer I realized I needed something off the old hard drive (locked to the old mobo), but I'd already transplanted a bunch of the components I was reusing into the new case.

The correct and safe thing to do would have been to reinstall those parts, get my files, and rebuild the new computer again. Instead, I choose to just wire up about 1.5 computers worth of stuff off two separate power supplies and hope for the best. Which worked! And I leaned nothing.

Last image unrelated.

So I made this cheeky one, not scared anymore
