Jeza posted:Sadly, it's now common practice, even academically advised in many areas, for students to begin essays with generic statements of intent. Do you have any better suggestions? Most of those stories are students trying to get some articles published under their name. It's usually some random crap labwork a professor can't be bothered with, but under the publish or perish model, it's an easy way for students to get a foot in the door.

A good long while (maybe up to a week or so).When they get moldy, sour smelling/tasting, or if they start splitting and leaking gross juice everywhere it's time to throw them away, but I use wrinkled tomatoes in spaghetti sauce all the time because they're not as enjoyable to eat raw.

Highly structured and pared down essays will remain an important part of scientific discourse, but it's when it's applied to an English or Philosophy essay that, for me, is inappropriate. Essays in liberal arts are more exercises in persuasion than they are exercises in rigorous testing and logic. To pretend otherwise is foolish. Lots of these subjects now pretend towards scientific method, no matter how obviously inapplicable that is.

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:What are tenant rights as far as guests? Rent an awesome small place. My ex moved out recently which she noticed and approached me about. It was hard enough moving in as a couple. Pretty much said outright that they can't legally say no but they pretty much reject all couples. Was harder than applying for a job. The landlord seems cool but the building manger is an retired old lady whom I think exaggerates stories based on previous experiences. with nothing better to do than be nosey. Doesn't help that her son lives across from me. Anyways she mentioned not wanting a revolving door of people but the undertone was petty much we don't like guests/randoms here. Was almost threatening. I mean I'm month to month so I guess it doesn't matter eh As a landlord, when I harass people about this stuff, I tell them not to think about it personally, but as if I was enforcing it on the tenant next door. You have to sign a crime-free/drug-free housing form and there are tight regulations on guests so we don't get the "revolving door" thing, but it's not about you, I just want you to be able to live peacefully so I make sure your neighbors aren't thugs. Now here, just sign this as a formality, because of course, you'll never try and pull any of this crap.

Back in the early-mid 70s, I had a toy building set. It was one of many different size sets that would allow you to construct buildings kinda like this: One of the sets was of a New York cathedral. The corner pieces were about .5" tall and about .25" square. They had approximately this shape (top down view):  The notches in the side would line up and you could insert various panels like windows and doors while the crosspieces were for the floor panels. It also featured staircases and thin plastic floor pieces that were red & white checkerboard of various sizes. The set was probably made in the late 60s-early 70s. My google-fu is failing me. Anybody have a clue?

My buddy used to work at a hot video game company and has a bunch of sealed black-label PSX games and some other random titles. Is eBay the best way to sell these? Some of the titles sell at a good price, but they don't sell often. His time is pretty valuable. I feel slightly responsible for this as I prevented him from selling these at a garage sale for like $3 a piece (sorry, garage sale grinders) and while he will like the money, he's going to spend that time up front.

Could you buy the games off him at a bit of a discount and sell them. That way he doesn't lose the time, he still gets more than he would have and you get a bit of cash too.

I wanna run 27 images in an automatic slide show with 9 seconds between each image and a song playing in the background. Ideally I wanna be able to save this "project" and move it to another computer where you can just click it to launch the slideshow+music. What program do I use?

Lots of these subjects now pretend towards scientific method, no matter how obviously inapplicable that is. Ahh, OK. I understand you now. And I agree with you. People submitting articles for scientific journals, as a general rule, tend to be pretty brisk. "We did X, and Y was the result. The full details are below the fold." It makes it easy to search through. I can see how that can be annoying in the liberal arts field, since there's no obvious carryover there. You would think somebody going for a bachelors in English or Philosophy could do better than copy a boring style from the science students.

Lawnmower problems. any ideas? It's a 2004ish 4stroke lawn-boy with a tecumseh motor Unlike older mowers I've had and used this has no hand-lever for throttle or choke, throttle I guess is wide open all the time (maybe is no throttle at all) and the choke is somehow automatic. If I pull the cord 20x it might start once and run perfectly for 2 or 3 seconds. Other 19x it does not fire even a single time. Air filter is dirty so it's removed until I figure out what's wrong. It has new gas and has been attempted to start so many times I would think any old gas in the carb is gone. I've taken spark plug out and with the wire connected to it, and body of it grounded it sparks just fine with my daughter pulling the cord. My weedeater runs fine and its sparkplug fits in the mower I get the same results with it in there. If I put my nose by the exhaust with her pulling the cord I smell unburnt gas every time. I've wanted to take the fuel line off the carb to see if gas freely flows from it but it's in a position that I can't fit any pliers back there to open the spring clamp. There is a valve on top of the carb connected to a lever coming from the crankcase, I'm guessing the choke. If I manipulate this with my finger and have the kid pull the cord I seem to get better than the 1 in 20 starts and it runs perfect but still only for 2 or 3 seconds.

Just because a spark plug fits, doesn't mean it will work the same. Spark plugs generally have pretty universal threads, what matters is the gap between the electrode and the head. If your lawnmower plug and weedeater plug aren't the same, you need to get an actual replacement and try with that.

xmasgift: Doesn't the safety mechanism cut off the ignition though? If I pull the spark plug out, connect it to the wire and ground the body with my daughter pulling the cord it sparks every time. It's a lawnboy model 10685 Captain bravo: I've not really thought about the spark plug much and maybe I'm wrong but the running perfectly for a few seconds one in 20 start attempts, to me makes me think something with the carb. I guess I could go up to the store and get a new plug though. (it's perfect weather for a bike ride and wife and kids are arguing and in a bad mood with each other so a perfect opportunity for me to leave for a bit) Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Apr 25, 2015 |

gently caress yeah! I got it going. without a dollar spent. Had the carb off to be able to take the fuel line off to see if there was a blockage when I noticed the linkage that operates the one valve on top of carb (throttle or choke) had a spring that had fallen out of place, reconnected the spring and all is good.

I misunderstood and thought you'd chunked the old sparkplug and were going to continue to use the weedwhacker one, even after you fixed the main problem. v  v

No, there are no threads about that conspiracy theory which Russia couldn't pull off and China wouldn't do because it would kill their already struggling economy.

In your own words, define "destroying the U.S. dollar." You do understand that a "weak" dollar relative to other currencies would be an economic stimulus for the U.S., right? Exporters would face greater demand for their comparatively cheaper goods.

That's a new conspiracy I haven't heard of before. China's economy largely depends on low cost goods being sold to the US and other western nations that deal in dollars. China is also heavily invested in US bonds, so a collapse of the US dollar in order to gently caress over the US would result in Chinese banks taking massive losses, as in potentially billions of dollars, since US bonds are backed by dollars. So no sane people want to tank the USD. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Apr 26, 2015 |

The only European countries they border that don't have NATO military protection or EU military protection or both are Ukraine and Belarus. Ukraine is already being invaded as you know, and Belarus is all about slavish devotion to Russia. Leal posted:E: The reason I'm looking for a thread is because iirc those countries aren't exactly having the best times right now economically and makes me wonder how they can even destroy a sizable country's currency so easily. They absolutely can't, and the people saying they can probably have some investments they want to sell you that they can profit off of.
