I'm gathering from Facebook that the taco emoji might mean something other than "this is a taco." Help? Is this just a vagina thing?

That's the usage I've encountered Taco emoji = vagina Eggplant/aubergine emoji = penis There was an article in the Guardian a while back saying that Instagram actually brought in a policy that stops you from using certain emojis as search terms because they mostly bring up nudity.

OctoberBlues posted:Thanks for this, I got it sorted by population, but my issue now is that these include state populations, county populations, etc. Is there a way in Excel to say: Data -> Sort by, then select all of the rows you want to delete; you'd want to use the numerical codes for that, probably. Data -> Filter. This would let you filter out anything without "County" in it, then you could do a select all -> delete. The only problem is if there's someplace that's not a county with "county" in the name, it'll delete that, too. EDIT: oh, I just saw you weren't saving it as a CSV. Disregard.

OctoberBlues posted:I'm a big dumb dumb who didn't save it as a csv and open it that way. I just copied and pasted, which I now know was very dumb! It seems to be easy to sort as necessary now. Thanks! You must have done a little too much trimming, because I have 638 entries with a 0 population, but a lot of them are duplicates. Yeah, this may not give you what you're looking for, just because of all the extraneous entries.

az posted:Long shot, I found a toy soldier in debris originating from the bombing of Hamburg in world war two. I haven't been able to find any similar models online and nobody knew more about it so far. We assume it may be made of bone, may be handcarved and unique, or limited production. Most toy soldiers from the third Reich are poor quality mass production models, so this little guy seems to be special. He's a Luftwaffe pilot, decorated with a Ritterkreuz as far as I can make it out. Post a picture from the side. It looks like there is a mold mark line but had to tell. Is it hollow? Looks like it might be from the hole in the rear end.

Van Dis posted:There are actually a lot of elements of that tune that echo stuff in various Sim City soundtracks. The bassy strings are similar to those in "Building" and some of the percussion is similar to "Infrastructure" (both from Sim City 3000). The muted trumpet was also popular on that album; the track "Night Life" has some runs and fills a lot like the short runs and fills in the background of your tune. But the most striking similarity is the layering of toned percussion in the track "Arctica" on the Sim City 4 Rush Hour soundtrack. Give those a listen and see what you think. Hm... Those tracks aren't what I'm thinking of. The brass instruments at around 3:10 with the way they go up the scale then trail off strikes my memory the most. I don't know why, but I feel like I've definitely heard that riff when building underground in Sim City before. Thanks for the help, though!

We just moved into a new house, and even though we got the old tenant's garage remote, we've heard some horror stories about her and want to make sure that all the old remotes (if there are any besides the one we got) no longer open the garage. What is the easiest way to change whatever needs to be changed to do this and then program our own remotes? We called the garage door service company on the motor and they wanted $200+ for this service, which seems like a lot; I figured there must be a way for me to do it myself.

You need to provide a lot more detail here, like make and model of the opener. In fact, why not just put that information into google along with "instruction manual".

Google the manual for your garage door opener. There is a button on the opener. It probably has paragraphs of tiny print next to it. One long press will reset all codes. (The light will flash some number of times to tell you this has been achieved.) After that, one short press will ready it to be paired with a new remote. Press the remote and the light will flash. Repeat as needed for number of remotes.

It depends on the garage door opener. Look it up: you're making this harder than it needs to be. Also, don't ask retail employees for technical advice (or at least know the quality of advice you will be getting). The people at Home Depot are not contractors/garage door installers any more than the people at AutoZone are mechanics. If the were those things they would be doing them and getting paid more for it.

This is silly but... After seeing the name "Lexy" somewhere, the phrase "Captain Lexy" has been running around my head. Google brings up nothing - it might be a goon's username or something, but it's reminded me of something from the past that I just can't place. Anyone remember a Captain Lexy?

When I get cash back at the bank, they have me sign this thing: It seems hard to believe that my signature on this entirely blank document would ever be worth anything, and stand up anywhere in court, but they make me sign it ... a lot. What gives?

But since you have no need to see that, they're not going to show it to you. At some banks, when you do this your signature will be printed on a receipt they'll give you with the withdrawal.

Trigger point massage is absolutely mainstream in the certified massage therapy field. It definitely helped me. Trigger point injections are a little more controversial, but very legit doctors do the technique, for what that's worth, and the American Academy of Family Practice endorses it.

My current daily driver just broke down so I am in the market for a new car. However, I will be out of the country starting from June / July 2016 so I only need a car for a short amount of time. What is my best option here? Go to a dealership for a short term lease? Rent a car from a rental company?

The noob way is just have a list of the numbers, an column performing that function on each number, then sum the function column. Dunno if there's a more elegant way that works for lists of arbitrary length.

So a CFL bulb with mercury was smashed, left in place for days, then the glass fragments were vacuumed up. The same vacuum was then immediately used to clean the entire house.  Google confirms that this is literally the exact opposite of what to do in this situation, and that the mercury has probably been aerosolised and spread. It's happened now so there's not much I can do, but a) Just how worried should I be about this and b) are there any specific steps I should still take?

What memento said Seven Round Things posted:So a CFL bulb with mercury was smashed, left in place for days, then the glass fragments were vacuumed up. The same vacuum was then immediately used to clean the entire house. A CFL has 5 milligrams of mercury max (many modern ones have less than 2.5 milligrams). You're in no risk since it's so very tiny. The most you need to do is open the windows for a few minutes.

photomikey posted:This is essentially the crux of my question. "But you must have received the $1k in cash, you signed here saying you did" seems wholly invalid when I'm signing an empty screen. The form might be blank, it's actually irrelevant. You're agreeing that your signature is a thing that authorises them to do the transaction you requested. Also, signatures stand up in court all the loving time, that's what they're for. Electronic or otherwise. When I was working in managed funds, we were taken to court by a man whose elderly mother faxed in a sell request then died a few days later, and as a result he was out a pretty significant annual dividend payment. He argued that because it was electronic and because it wasn't on an official sell request form it shouldn't have counted. The judge threw it out. Guess who has better lawyers than you. It's financial institutions. And if you don't remember signing the contract, you clearly read it through really well and made sure you thoroughly understood all the terms and conditions
