If I could axe it down I would have already! It's a metal door set into the concrete wall of my foundation. These photos are from November of last year. I've been messing with it off and on since then with no results.  You can see the cylinder itself is pretty jacked up. It looks like someone tried to drill it out without really knowing what they were doing. The three holes next to it were all drilled, and you can see a hint of a metal bar in the left one which I assume is the bolt, but I don't know how to move any of it. I've tried picking it (with my level zero lock picking skill) – the face on they cylinder rotates by itself and the actual pins seem to be all jacked up from being drilled, so I'm not sure if picking it is even possible.

So I was just down futzing with it again and the cylinder just fell out. Here's a close up shot of what's left in there: The brass on the top is one of the "pins" – there are three of them, but they're more like little bars that extend off to the right. I can manipulate them up and down, so I guess I could theoretically pick it? I was actually able to see through one of the holes on the right, it's definitely a wall safe and not my ash pit. Through the bottom right hole I can see the walls of the safe, and there's nothing in there but a paperclip. There seems to be a shelf right in the middle that I hit with my screwdriver in the top right hole, so there might be something on top besides just a paperclip, but probably not. Crowbar may be my next step. I'm headed out to a class, but I'll take another look at it when I get home.

Even if it turns out to be empty it's still fun to watch people crack old things in their houses open. It's about the journey not the destination.

Need a little help in the last step of setting up my living room. I've succeeded in hiding all of my wires from my computer to TV but one problem remains. If I shut my 1 inch thick cabinet, it blocks the signal from my keyboard to my computer(just a regular HP computer we watch stuff on). This is the keyboard I have: https://imgur.com/a/slFTUuK Connects through this: https://imgur.com/a/qSYW31Q I really want to be able to shut the cabinet as there is a bunch of junk in there that I want hidden away. (I've already got stuff to cool everything once the cabinet is closed). What are my options here? Thanks kolby fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 28, 2018 |

Me again. posted:^^I also find white text on black background easier. I've used various browser extensions/addons/whatever for many years to accomplish this, even when it makes lots of media-heavy sites display terribly. You are not wrong. Normally your health insurance will have an advice line you can call with these questions. On top of that, the state you're in completely changes how your insurance could work. I'd also check online and see if there's an online web portal. My doctors will ignore me for weeks and then call me randomly to make a new appointment. It seems to me like yours does something similar? I am not a lawyer, doctor, or insurance agent, anything I post shouldn't be considered advice, etc and so forth.

My Windows 10 computer turns on exactly 24 hours after the last time it was turned off. I want it to stop doing that. I've seen around the place that it might be a BIOS setting, and I can't see anything at all that could be causing that in my Asrock Z97 Extreme6 BIOS. I've read that it might be Intel Smart Connect doing that to update programs, but I don't have that installed. I've checked in the Task Scheduler if there is something set to wake it up and I can't see anything in there. I've run some elevated PowerShell and CMD commands to see if there's something waking the computer up, and can't see anything. What else should I be checking? I don't ever put the computer to sleep, I click the power button then hit "Shut Down". Is there a hidden sleep mode in that that I can run a script to make it shut down properly?

Stupi question regarding browsers, namely Firefox: it used to be that Tab Mix Plus was able to arrange tabs in rows and columns. I've download the newest version of Firefox, and Tab Mix Plus, but is seems like a watered down - and the only one available - version, with no functionality like that. Looking it up I found an answer, and it seems that the only way to do it now is to mess around with scripts? I don't want that, but I do want rows of tabs - is there another add-on that does that, is the script changing the only way, or is it not available anymore? Further, maybe there's a browser that does that by default? I know Chrome doesn't, so I wanted to get back to Firefox, but those tabs, as dumb as it may be, were an important distinction.

 Got this car new last year. The windows get really bad condensation, since day 1. Obviously not a problem in summer, but as soon as the weather gets colder, my car seems to be the only one sitting parked with completely fogged up windows. Is this a sign of an issue or? The car is empty, I don't have open bottles or wet coats in it.

Is the condensation on the inside? If so, there is water getting into the car somehow, or enough still in there to fog the windows. You could try a dehumidifier or something like a bucket of DampRid but if it’s still coming in somewhere it doesn’t solve your problem.

I can go rub my finger on the rear window on the outside and no mark will be left. it's also really irritating when I have passengers, the entire cabin turns into a sweaty sauna and the windows are hard to look out of, even with the aircon on (not recirculating). makes pulling out of junctions kinda russian roulette-y. I bought a dehumidifer bag thing specifically for cars, didn't do anything. gonna book it into the garage and see if there's a dodgy seal somewhere that's letting humid air in.

FYI it's not humid air getting it. As big crush on Chad OMG said, it is water. It (say) drips through a windscreen seal and onto the carpet. This is then what causes the condensation. Take a piece of kitchen towel and press it onto likely areas and see if anything is damp as this may give you a clue. E: you've got on a PCP, haven't you? complain about water ingress and let them sort it all out. spog fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Nov 29, 2018 |

I've had two cars that got soggy back there, once from a disconnected drain-tube thing from the sunroof, and once from a bad seal around the rear hatch. But because you probably don't get back there very often, it's entirely possible not to even notice for a long time that that entire area is just awash.

you can stop build up of condensation by rubbing your windows on the inside with a half potato. e: i dont know how this works, thank my foster mom for that tip that I still use today

I had had an issue with condensation on the inside of my windshield a few winters ago. I think it was the snow my shoes were bringing into the car. The internet told my to enable the A/C while running the heater. That pulled out the excesses moisture after a few drives. Now I turn the A/C on in the winter if I start seeing any condensation and it takes care of it right away. No idea why the OPs car is doing it to such an extant and to just one side window.

Anybody recognize this style of christmas tree/light bulb and know where I might get a replacement? The company I bought the tree from no longer has the tree available, no other tree they have has the same kind of matte finished LED bulbs, and I haven't had any luck looking for them elsewhere. Even just the diode itself would be fine, I could put it in and bend the prongs appropriately myself in the existing holder.

This is a really broad question but is there still a large ratio of 100 dollar benjamins being circulated officially without the blue security strip on it? I figure obviously on "main street" they will get passed around for some time but is there any reason banks/govt might still pass them around?

Large denominations tend to circulate less and thus wear out slower. And banks usually won't send the old bills in for replacement until they're worn enough. So you'll certainly see older versions of the bills going around more often than you see like 10s and 20s.
