Reminds me of a Broader question I have myself If I you've seen cockroaches around your apartment over the course of once or twice this year (been quite lately otherwise) is this an indication of a nest hiding somewhere or do these thing just sorta happen.

Amazon question: if you want or buy a thing that qualifies for free same day prime shipping but it's only 20 buxx While $35 is the minimum for it, can you add anything to it that's just regular prime and still qualify (and have both ship separately) or do you have to add something that is same day shipping

To be fair to Tiggum... someone could have just said "most likely no one here knows why the developers made that decision; maybe you should try asking them." No one should have needed to, but there you go.

Bots and nefarious programs that try to login to things by guessing passwords or trying to spam a bunch of fake product reviews rely on being fast. If a bot can guess at a password 3600 times a minute there's a chance it can get in, if there's a 2 second delay on each guess attempt then the bot could only guess 30 times. I'll hazard a guess that the delays in Captcha are randomized to try and make it trickier to write scripts to defeat it.

I'm not good at wall decorations. How do I presentably put something like this on my wall in a way that looks nice/normal? Is this a piece of paper I put in a poster frame? Can't find frames on Amazon the right size. It seems weird that most of what I find is along this line of not ready-to-go. If anyone has recommendations for ready-to-go, medium-big wall-art with a non-tacky science (or chaos) theme, let me know. Most of what I have are smallish canvases I've painted, and plates I've bought from tourist shops. People tell me my walls look too bare. Something like This would be cool, but is super-expensive. Not sure why I'm struggling with this so much. Dominoes fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 8, 2018 |

To drive from WA to Alaska through Canada would you need a passport or just an enhanced drivers license? Also how is Anchorage? My family is thinking about moving up that direction some time in the next few years. I looked for an alaska thread in your city sucks but I guess there aren't enough alaska goons or I just didn't see it.

Not sure where you are, but most any hobby/crafts store should have a frame area where you can find one in the dimensions you are looking for. Also, point of interest, these prints appear to have room for about 1/2in of matting, aka the plain white border typically inside a frame that you would buy off the shelf. You can even see it in the picture on the etsy page. You would typically buy the frame one whole number up from the displayed size - So the 8.27 x 11.67 picture would go in a 9x12 frame, and the matting would cover the difference in size.

Dominoes posted:Thank you. Do I just buy a frame that's sized a few inches x a few inches bigger than the print? Take this one: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/decoration/frames-pictures/bj%C3%B6rksta-frame-black-art-30311171/ It can take a picture of 200x140cm. Any smaller and you will see a white border caused by the blank white paper supplied with the frame that is behind your print The hardest part is keeping the picture centred whilst putting the frame together. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/decoration/frames-pictures/lomviken-frame-aluminium-art-20335851/ This one comes with a mount that goes in front of your picture (or you can use the frame without it) Ideally, the hole in the mount would be a little smaller that your print so you can mount it without showing the edge of the print You can cut the hole in the mount to your perfect size: https://amateuratwork.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/cutting-mats-to-fit-ikeas-11-x-14-ribba-frames/

There's a little boy at the swimming pool who always comes with his dad. He seems to be incapable of speaking properly and just repeats the same two-three syllables over and over, at different speeds and volumes. I was thinking he might be autistic, but he doesn't behave like any other autists I've seen. He walks normally and looks otherwise healthy. What kind of disorder could he have?

Does he seem to comprehend normally, how is his affect? Autism has a wide range of symptoms and severity, so don’t discount it. He may just be a non-verbal kid with autism. I don’t have autism myself, fwiw.

How do you find the radius of a cross-section of a sphere?
|
|
#
?
Aug 8, 2018 23:51

|
|
It's just the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where: (radius of cross-section)^2 + (distance from cross-section plane to sphere center)^2 = (diameter of the sphere)^2 rearranged: (radius of cross-section) = sqrt( (diameter of the sphere)^2 - (distance from cross-section plane to sphere center)^2 )

Question Friend posted:How do you find the radius of a cross-section of a sphere?  R is the total sphere radius, X is distance your cross section sits from the center. Angle T = arccos (X/R). R' (the radius of your cross section) is R sin (T). Put it all together, and R'=R sin[arccos(X/R)].

You can probably return them if you don’t care for them. I’ve returned food from there that I didn’t like, after a cashier said that I could when I inquired about a granola bar or chips or something.

I washed some clothes but had to leave them in the washing machine from about 8pm to when I woke up at 2pm, as I didn't want to use my tumble dryer at night and be an inconsiderate neighbour. I've done this in the past and had no issues, but after tumble drying the clothes, they smelled pretty bad. A mix between wet dog and damp. I'm guessing it's mildew? I've since washed all the clothes again because it made me feel sick walking around with that really overpowering smell, people would think I haven't showered. Washing the clothes the second time still hasn't removed the smell. Am I poo poo outta luck and gotta throw a bunch of my clothes out or is there a way to fix this? I've read about putting 250ml of vinegar in with the wash, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

I don't know the solution to your current problem but next time pull the clothes out of the washing machine and leave them in a washing basket or something until you can tumble dry them.

If they still smell bad, you can dump a small thing of essential oils into the drum during the soak cycle. (the oils should be a smell you enjoy.)

Question Friend posted:Is it possible to have a gastrointestinal problem that makes you poo poo out stomach acid at the end of your dairrhea You can definitely poo poo out bile acids, they cause water to build up in your intestines as they're hypertonic compared to your bloodstream, so it severely dehydrates you. In answer to your next question: please go to a hospital right now.

I don't feel dehydrated but I had terrible diarrhea and it definitely felt acidic at the end. My whole rear end in a top hat still feels like someone rubbed it raw and squeezed a lemon on it. But it coul just be because I'm taking antiobiotics for an injury, it's my understanding that those gently caress up your intestines because of the gut flora dying
