Cymbal Monkey posted:If it's bright white I'd go at that bitch with bleach and maybe a little citrisolv. Note: if your shirt isn't 100% cotten, don't use citrisolv because it will actually eat your shirt. Just dab the white spots with bleach? The tag doesn't mention what the shirt is made of, but a quick google search shows that it is (most likely) 100% polyester, so I'll just avoid the citrisolv. The stain is already fading a bit as the shirt dries, so I guess I'll just spot bleach the parts that need it?

Samopsa posted:First: what the hell, are your friends 14 or something? They're not, but a lot of people judge people for being into it because of the lovely (and semi accurate) stereotypes of typical Warhammer players. Just found out it was because the group was set to public without people being informed. I'm not an admin, just a regular person. I'm happy for people to see the posts if they specifically open the group in FB but not keen on it going on everyone's status feed. Is there a setting for that? The admin set the group back to "Closed" which I believe makes all the posts invisible unless someone's a member?

Yeah, if the group is closed only members can see posts. I don't know about posts showing up in other people's feed though if it's public. I don't think you can avoid that.

That should keep it from showing up on your feed to anyone who is a non-member. However, a private group that I am in recently had a scare of pictures and videos showing up on members' feeds that were shared in the group. As it turned out, though, they only showed up on our feed to other members of the group (so random other people didn't get them). And it only happened with members who had the new timeline, not with people who hadn't switched over yet. Stupid Facebook bugs...

Dabizi posted:I "get" (mostly) how GPS works, but with the recent Tomtom GPS leap year bug in the news, I'm at a loss to explain what exactly is the technical problem here. It seems like if the leap year occurred and the Tomtoms weren't ready for it, they'd still be accurate. Their dates would be one day ahead, but since the minuscule time difference is what actually matters, as long as the dates are consistently wrong, they should still work. The problem is likely only tangentially related to the leap year - computers don't keep track of dates in the same way that we do. (They tend to measure the number of seconds since some epoch date, traditionally Jan 1, 1970, 00:00.0000, although I'm not sure if this is actually what GPS uses.) GPS satellites transmit the current time, along with information about their orbit. A receiver can use this information to figure out how distant the satellite is, and draws a 3D sphere of all possible positions that the device could be in. It uses 4 satellites to draw 4 separate spheres, and concludes that the receiver is in the position where they all overlap. If I had to guess, I'd say that someone lost a leap-second somewhere, causing the GPS receiver to think that each satellite should be 1 second behind where it actually is in it's orbit. Drawing the spheres around each of the 4 satellites wouldn't result in a single consistent intersection point, and the GPS device wouldn't be able to pintpoint it's actual location.

I know that all the craters on the Moon are due to meteor impacts but why are there no visible meteors leftover? Some of those craters are very large and it seems as if there should be some remnants leftover even if it does shatter upon impact. Or does it shatter to the point where it becomes dust or very small fragments not visible from pictures? Julien Sorel fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Apr 6, 2012 |

I assume the lack of an atmosphere would cause them to not burn up, so the resulting explosion would be much bigger than it would be on earth. Just my theory on it.

Wagonburner posted:I saw this on modaco forums, in the walmart fabric section there's this clear vinyl stuff like is used for screen protectors on a new clock radio or something when its in the package. It's like $1 for a big sheet of it. I made some protectors with it before for old winmo and symbian phones, get the screen a tiny bit wet and it goes on easy. I just looked at a video about that, I think I'll try it. It says it works on touch screens. My GPS units are not touch screen but they get dropped and abused and ran over with ATVs and whatnot and by the end of the season the screens are scratched to hell. Just trying to delay the inevitable. Thanks!

Is there a program out there that I can feed a video file and designate a timeframe(s) (e.g. 1:32 to 1:43) and it spits out a gif of the video between those times? VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod if you require MKV, OGM or Dolby AC-3 support.

Some of those craters are very large and it seems as if there should be some remnants leftover even if it does shatter upon impact. The impacts are always really powerful, destroying any meteor on impact. All the contents of the meteor will be spread around the impact site, mixed with moonrock. I think to avoid such an explosion the diameter of a meteor needs to be around a few meters max, depending on speed of course.

The levels of energy involved in a meteorite impact are so high they go beyond common sense. The rock literally splashes as if it was liquid, and the meteorite itself penetrates completely into the ground. Anything that breaks in the process doesn't become a couple of large shards like a broken glass on earth, it gets completely pulverized and spread over a wide area. The thick sand-like dust covering the moon was formed from every meteorite impact over the billions of years the moon has been around.

I'm now trying to identify my vending machine. It's a Vendo machine with a coke logo on the front, and the safety manual I found inside of it is from 1986. I was able to find the serial number location, but the only numbers I could decipher were these from the serial number part: 040914. There are some pictures here. Can anyone help me figure out what model this is, so I can get a user's manual and figure out how to work the electronics? I'm obviously going to get more money selling it with those in working order than without.

Similar to Martytoof's question and the SA-coined term, "wikigroaning," is there a term for the anguish of finding a TV Tropes article that doesn't acknowledge key pieces of classic literature, yet has hundreds of references to anime, webcomics, and lovely fanfiction? For example, several articles on dystopias and the far future of the earth don't even mention HG Wells and his half-dozen books that pretty much invented these tropes.

My anniversary is coming up fairly soon, and I'd like a mirror and brush set kind of like this. Everything I've seen so online is either vintage stuff that's not in good shape/has someone else's initials embossed on it or to be blunt, cheap junk. Where can I find something like this new? Jewelry store? Upscale department store? What the heck are they even called? I don't mind spending some money on this if I can find something I like. e: This would be a gift for my wife, not for me in case that wasn't clear. stubblyhead fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Apr 7, 2012 |

Can someone help me find a Family Guy bit? There was this one part of an episode where Peter's voice was changed into a regular guy's voice. He was sitting at the bar with his buddies but instead of being all whiney he had a clear deep voice and was like "could you guys keep it down? we're trying to enjoy the bar!" or something eequally dorky. I don't know the season or episode or anything, and since there's a lot of voice gags on FG google isn't helping me. Thanks!
