I hope some Fingoons are reading this. What are the fines like in Finland? I understand that they are a percentage relative to your income so they are fair to people at all levels. Are there extra factors that can play into it, like being a student and still under the support of your parents?

Put some posters up at the vet, local dog park, animal shelters, etc. Advertise on Craigslist and make a page on Facebook. Go to your State's government web site and find out what, if any, business license you need. You can get insurance that is pretty specific to petwatching too, my friend just said.

I feel like there might be a better place to post this, but it also likely doesn't deserve its own thread. So, here goes: What in the gently caress is growing in my lawn, and should I do anything about it?  That's a good six inches wide and a foot in length, maybe 4 inches high. Here is a pic of a cluster of more of the same fungi, and here is another shot of the same stuff, but growing on some nearby stones. I've seen small mushrooms on occasion in our lawn, nothing to be concerned about, but this poo poo is really large, and I worry about it being bad for the grass.

Install Gentoo posted:The site in general is legit, and most of the vendors on it are too. Before making large orders, you might try ordering the smallest amount of whatever you need from the supplier you're considering. Such that you can check that they send it, and check the quality yourself, before committing to spending a few thousand on the stuff from them. All right; I've ordered a sample from the supplier and will see how the quality is. It's good to know that most of the vendors are legit; the general layout and tone of the vendor pages made me feel like I was walking into an Identity Theft Ring For Stupids.

We used them for my old work. A lot of it is chinese made trash. Cheap but often nasty so if you are after quality items you have to more selective. They are often very good at altering things (like printing logos and poo poo on them). However be prepared for the chinese guy to spam you with emails about ordering stuff once you put an enquiry in. So don't just send an email out for a quote unless you really think you are gonna buy it.

In VLC (v2.0) for OSX, I can't seem to resize the detached controls/playlist. I almost never use the playlist feature, yet it just sits there taking up a huge amount of space. Is there any way to make it smaller, or to not see the playlist functionality at all? Or to reattach it to the video when outside of fullscreen mode?

I just sold some U.S. open tickets for tomorrow's game on ebay. The guy bought them last Saturday, I shipped them priority mail the same day and he's claiming no receipt at this point (which I think is plausible because of labor day + his feedback score). Even if they do arrive at this point they're going to be useless. I didn't do delivery confirmation or tracking or anything, so am I screwed? If he files a dispute is ebay going to give him his money back?

Priority mail gave you a tracking number by default I thought?

A point is a unit of measurement for methamphetamines. What I'm saying is those guys can snort 3 points in a day.

I smacked my fingers on my right hand against a table. There is soreness but no bruising, but they're oddly cold. Colder than my other fingers. It's not a false sensation; they feel cold when I touch them to my face. I placed them under hot water, and they still feel cold. How does this happen?

Bruising is indicative of internal bleeding, which by nature can cause reduced/deficient circulation, which makes that particular extremity cold if circulation sucks.

Where should I put my computer power strip/surge protector? I was thinking about putting it on top of my desk, but it gets dusty from time to time. Currently one of my other power strips is under the desk which has already got shat on my various cockroaches, and got infiltrated by them by crawling INSIDE the ground part of the one of the electrical outlet of the port. So, top of the desk or bottom of my desk?

Jkid posted:Where should I put my computer power strip/surge protector? IMO, a little dust isn't going to do a power strip much harm. Standard electrical outlets already have an overkill amount of contact area between the two conductors. Also, the floor gets dusty too? I've had power strips atop desks for super long, or in exposed parts of the floor, and I've used power strips that are very visibly dirty, and never had an issue. If you're really worried, spray the power strip's outlets' holes out with compressed air once a year or something.

When I go to bed, I suddenly feel very anxious, like somebody is going to pounce on me or something, or the worries of the day weigh really heavy on me. This happens within seconds of laying down, and getting up and moving about quickly soothes the feeling. Is their a name for this phenomenon? Am I the only one to suffer it?

I knew it would happen one day: I was going to download a TortoiseSVN update and I wasn't paying attention and accidentally downloaded and ran one of their advertisement installers (specifically something called Zoom Downloader). This little fucker wouldn't abort the install no matter how many times I clicked cancel on the installer steps. Damage report so far is changing all my browser homepages and default search engines, and installing some stupid toolbar on everything. I've taken care of these but is there some way to undo the damage or check for any other crap that got messed up?

Yes - can't find a source right now, but there is such a thing as sign language rap/MCing, where similar looking signs are used to substitute for rhyming edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signmark : "When performing, he rhymes signs by ensuring that they have the same types of hand forms and signs."

There also wasn't any options to not install them and I did not agree to have my homepage and search changed which raises a big flag.

It's scummy, it's terrible, but it should all be uninstallable like a normal program. It's not like most malware where you need special remove tools. EDIT: Might as well run MalwareBytes as well and see if it'll remove any leftover bits but just uninstall them from add/remove first, it's more graceful than ripping them out of your system.

I remember hearing this one day but due to the nature of the question I'm having trouble remembering it. I heard that around Boston and in other parts of the northeast, an "Irish Car Bomb" drink is called something else because it's offensive to the Irish. Also that if you ask for one at a bar you're nearly asking for a fight. But for the life of me I can't remember what the PC name is called. Does anyone know what they're called?
