Something I've been wondering just because I know that there are people out there who own prebuilt PCs with SSDs installed but don't want to go through the hassle of doing a clean install of Windows if everything fucks up because their OEM might block it and would rather use recovery media/create a system image. Is it at all possible to create a single system image of both your HDD and SSD, and restore the data from each drive to their respectable locations from before?

You can make an image of a drive of just the use space of each drive. Then you can restore the totality of either image to either drive as long as said drive is large enough to fit the image. As far as a single image that restore itself to the appropriate drive, I doubt that is possible. Granted, you also need space to store said images. Sadly this would require a third drive. Though good back up practices would include storing important information on a cold drive(only powered for backing up date) every month or so. Followed by checking data integrity say every two or three months for consumer purposes.

I've noticed that cats and dogs seem to like being in situations where a human would be uncomfortably hot, like lying in the sun for ages on a warm day, or sitting directly in front of the heater. What's the reason for that?

What's the reason for that? These are guesses but 1) they have slightly higher normal body temperatures than humans, 2) they have proportionally more surface area to lose heat from, and 3) cats are relatively recently descended from desert cats, maybe they just like the heat?

What's the reason for that? I can't find the information I'm looking for specifically, but cats have a higher body temperature to maintain, so the point at which they no longer expend energy in order to keep warm is quite a lot warmer than that of human beings. Cats use more energy in other ways too, relative to their size, than a lot of mammals. That's why they sleep so much, and often in as hot a place as possible. I think you may also be underestimating human beings here. Lots of people will lie in direct sunlight for hours in 30+ degree celsius heat. A lot of situations where we get 'uncomfortably' hot are generally to do with what we're doing/wearing.

Apparently the normal temperature of a cat can be as high as 103 F. For dogs, 102.5.

If I tried to lay in the sun for hours in a bigass fur coat, I would sweat pints. My maine coon mix will lay in the sun for hours and literally be hot to the touch, but she seems to love it. Is cat.

My maine coon mix will lay in the sun for hours and literally be hot to the touch, but she seems to love it. Is cat. Wearing a fur coat and having actual fur are two different things. Fur actually often serves to keep animals cooler in sunlight. You wearing a fur coat is just trapping your own bodyheat between a second skin.

When someone puts a house up for rent on Craigslist but doesn't specify if dogs are okay, can I assume that means that dogs are not okay, or is it possible/is known to happen that people simply forget to check that box? Also, is there a renting thread? I have never really househunted myself so this is all new to me. Also apparently what we want is a precious unicorn that doesn't exist.

This is definitely stupid and vague, but what's that weird peppery, piney, sappy smell in just about every "natural" lotion and soap? It must be a cilantro/asparagus type thing, because it makes me sick and most everyone else thinks it's great. It's super distinct, but I can't figure out what it is.

This is a business/unemployment question, but it's more of a curiosity since it no longer matters to our everyday life. My wife was recently let go at work. You internet detectives can probably find the e/n. Regardless, she's already happy employed again less than 2 weeks after she was let go. So all is well. We got a letter today saying that the Determination was that "The claimant (my wife) was 'not disqualified' for benefits".. which we kinda knew since she got a check from them days ago. Nice use of double negative. So why send this letter now? Was this a result of her work attempting to appeal the decision to give her unemployment or something? Or is this just standard procedure to launch an investigation?

Crankit posted:can I become a member of a native american tribe? Check with your local American Indian Tribe. From here. quote:IV. Our Nation’s American Indian and Alaska Native Citizens Unless you're in Canada, in which case you'd know if you could become a member because one or more of your parents would be (a) a member of a band living on a reserve and (b) a status Indian (depending on band rules, b is sufficient to receive some benefits while a depends on b depending on your definition of "tribe"). There are a few especially hosed up gender-specific rules about status women coupling with non-status men and their offspring designed to literally eliminate the status Indian population of Canada that you may also be concerned about if you're one of those people.

I'm looking to clean my oven (no self clean) and I'm wondering what works best. Google is only giving me "how to clean your oven without poisonous, earth destroying chemicals" which is baking soda and elbow grease. I don't really care what I use, and would like to eliminate the elbow grease, or the waiting if I can manage it. What works well? Some sort of degreaser? Tsp?

Let the oven cleaner sit overnight. Over. Night. Then in the morning, just wipe it out.

Could be a problem with it interpreting the text when rendering the print. You'll probably get better responses in the Haus of Tech Support in SH/SC though.

Caveat: don't do this for electric ovens. It will destroy the electrical contacts in the oven that connect the element, and will generally require the element to be replaced. I have heard plenty of stories from an electrician friend of mine where he'll get called out to "my oven isn't working" and he'll ask them about cleaning it recently. Them: "Yep, I used the easy spray stuff." Him: "Yeah don't do that. That'll be $700 for a new element." I have had luck with a dishwashing scrubbing brush, dishwashing liquid and elbow grease.

You could potentially be named as an honorary member of a tribe, but here's the short version - 1) You'd have to earn it and 2) you ain't gonna. You want membership in a Native American tribe for what? Novelty? Hipster cred? An official Indian name? It would be like me saying "I want to be knighted by the Emperor of Japan". I'm not Japanese, I don't live in Japan, and I know effectively nothing about the culture or history of the country except what I've seen in pop culture. Also, pretty sure they don't even have an emperor anymore. Here's the other sad fact, the tribes barely exist anymore, so even finding someone who could give you membership would be a mission. There is no form to fill out. This is old school. You would have to go and do a face to face with someone, probably someone fairly high ranking to have you sit with and be invited into the family. It's not goddamn Burger King where you walk in, and grab a paper crown. It would mean something.
