You can do it with Audacity (free audio editing software) http://www.ehow.com/how_8591387_convert-folder-audacity-files-mp3.html caveat: you have to manually acquire the mp3 codec to convert into mp3, but Audacity walks you through it. Takes 2 minutes.

Electric bikini area trimmer, bonus if it lets you adjust the length. Anything electric without a guard of some sort can cause lovely little holes in your thigh or more sensitive places if you're not careful. Let's just say I learned this the hard way.

I have one of those adapters that you connect to your ODB2 port to get auto insurance discounts. How does this communicate with my insurance provider? I literally just plugged it in, and after a week I started getting reports on my driving - I never set anything else up.

They're powered by your car (although they probably have a small backup battery). When you're driving they're sending updates on location and speed every thirty seconds or so and also logging how fast you accelerate, break and corner. Because they know what roads you are on they also know if you're speeding. They can also tell when they are unplugged. Have fun!

There are creams you can use, but you won't know until you buy it whether you'll have a sensitivity / reaction to it. Buy one and try it on a small area, it doesn't have to be specific to bikini area or men. Heed the time earnings on the packet, don't think "five minutes? Pussy. My man hair is so manly it requires twenty minutes". Doing this will apparently burn your bollocks off.

On my work computer, I tried to sign in to twitter and accidentally hit "remember me." I do not want this computer remembering me. So I deleted all private data and cookies from the beginning of time (Firefox). This did not delete the autofill username and password. The problem is that when I hit "remember me" I also spelled my twitter username wrong. So I can't sign in to that name with the box unchecked. How do I delete this saved info?

How waterproof are folding knives? I have a river trip coming up and need a knife that can get absolutely soaked every single day for weeks on end with no ill effects. I have an old Buck hunting knife (something like this but from the 80s) that I just rediscovered in some old boxes – if I bring it along, am I going to ruin it? The brass and wood are already scratched all to hell, so I don't care about that, but I'm not sure if the inner workings of the knife will get all messed up. I had a lovely Gerber on my last trip that started to rust and became terribly difficult to open after only a week.  e: Well crap, this page makes me think I'm going to mess it up. Any recommendations for folding knives that can stand a lot of water? kedo fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jul 10, 2014 |

kedo posted:How waterproof are folding knives? The water-resistance of a knife will be related to what metals it's made of, which is not super easy to identify for most people. A carbon steel knife will rust pretty quickly if it's not kept dry and/or oiled. Stainless will rust less quickly or not at all, depending on the type of stainless alloy. Carbon steel is generally stronger / less brittle than stainless. Knives are available in both flavors and each type has tons of different grades. On top of that, there are ceramic, titanium and other types of blades out there. Just grab a cheap folding (or fixed blade) diver's knife off Amazon or something if you have the time. They're made specifically to be used in wet environments and also tend to feature good grips to make sure you don't slip and cut yourself. Edit: If you do this kind of trip on a yearly basis, you might consider investing a bit more in the quality of the knife you're getting, as it seems like there are a lot of options. Edit 2: Added some more information to specifically answer the actual question. Marathanes fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jul 10, 2014 |

The brass and wood are already scratched all to hell, so I don't care about that, but I'm not sure if the inner workings of the knife will get all messed up. High end dive knives are generally titanium. There are nickel ones as well, but they don't hold their shape well since it's so much softer than steel. Dive knives are generally sheathed (I've never heard of a folding one before), but Kershaw or Benchmade probably has something similar. It will likely be very very expensive too.

I can find titanium blade folding dive knives at less than $30 in 5 minutes of Google-fu. I can't speak to the quality but I'd figure they'd be good enough for one trip, at least.

Thanks very much! Folding is definitely preferable for me since it'll spend most of its time in a pocket on my lifejacket or in some shorts, but a diving knife is a good call. I'll keep an eye out for titanium blades.

kedo posted:I had a lovely Gerber on my last trip that started to rust and became terribly difficult to open after only a week. If you get a dive knife (there are plenty of folding ones available), and prep it by soaking it in some kind of penetrant rust preventative (WD-40 in a pinch but a proper marine protectant), then it will be able to handle being wet with fresh water more or less indefinitely. Fresh water rinsing is the proper maintenance for a dive knife that goes in slat water after all. If you don't need a folding knife, then you can even skip the prep step. Depending on what you are using the knife for, you can even go with a steak knife. A blunt tip steak knife in a sheath has been found to be one of the best options for a dive knife, because it is flexible, light, sharp, and cheap, and already has a handle we are used to. Get a couple of these and a a canvas sheath and you will be set. AAnd if you lose them, you can get a new one at any thrift store.

Ok, this may not be the best place to ask, but I have a specific chemistry question about a reaction. I'm working in a summer (philosophy) camp and we're running this activity: Campers are given vials full of an inert substance, one vial is full of something that is reactive but needs to be colourless and odourless. The campers mingle and exchange small amounts of liquid. At the end, the vials are tested by adding a chemical to the vials, the chemical reacts to vials with some of the reactive substance and changes colour or catches on fire or something. I think vinegar, water, and baking soda are out. I kind of want to use sodium metal and an acid that doesn't smell, if it exists, because that will cause fire, right? Can anyone think of two chemicals that will work the way we're intending? Obviously safety is a concern so super strong acids or bases will need us to change the activity a bit with droppers and gloves or something.

A while back I asked if I should do a fresh reinstall of my PC if I replaced the mobo + CPU, well in the end I didn't have to cause the GPU was my issue. This time though my motherboard did just die on me (At least, I'm confident that it did...), I'm going to replace it but my question is: Seeing that I can't actually get the PC to boot up to do the reinstall what're my options? Do I just go through and replace the mobo and cpu and then boot it up with the boot disc inside? What would happen if instead of doing the reinstall I just replaced the parts and ran it through to try and grab a few files before I wipe it?

Google that though; there might be a safe way to do it and the Gummi Bear adds that fun factor. DrBouvenstein posted:Good to know summer camp hasn't changed from when I was a kid. Nice.

What would happen if instead of doing the reinstall I just replaced the parts and ran it through to try and grab a few files before I wipe it? If your replacing it with the same motherboard then you will probably be fine. Also it depends on what your operating system is. Newer Microsoft stuff like Windows 7 and 8 are better at parts changing and it adapting. Not sure about the different *nix flavors out there. Either way your best bet is to swap the board out and try to boot into windows. If it wont boot because it doesnt like the board change then you will have to reinstall the OS. Also if you can get a new hard drive (do yourself a favor and upgrade to a SSD) you can probably get all your files off the old one by putting it in as a 2nd drive. You can also get a very handy adapter like this one on Amazon for about $20 that will allow you to plug it in as a USB drive on any computer. I just grabbed the first link I could so read reveiews. I don't know if that one is any good or not.

I don't know if that one is any good or not. As an additional bit of information, when you reinstall Windows (7 or 8), only have one drive connected to the computer. Windows likes to put goofy partitioning schemes and boot sectors on all connected drives, which can make for nightmares down the road if you ever decide to reformat your "spare" drive. After you've installed Windows, then plug in your other/spare drives and all will be well.

Has anyone here taken Rogaine or Propecia? I know I should just age gracefully an all that jazz, but on the other hand...gently caress that. I'm getting a bald spot on my crown, and I feel I'm too young for that. My understanding is that Rogaine doesn't regrow hair, it can only help you keep the hair you've got, yes? Whereas Propecia does have a chance at regrowing it, but it's prescription only, and possibly more expensive? Could I, in theory, go on Propecia for a couple years to regrow the little but of hair that'/s gone, then switch to Rogaine to keep it?
