Breath Ray posted:Afraid not. What about Google - could an in-thread search be performed there? What about a hatchback and a 12v->240v adapter? I think that unless someone has a tool that does exactly what you need, you should go find a CS undergrad student and pay him $20 to flesh out the script I gave you and set it up to run for you, it'll be fine on either windows or linux. It gets to be a real headache to explain the whole process from scratch to someone who has no idea already is all. Google's tools require more setup and knowledge to maximally use is my understanding.

The medical officer knew to be careful not to feed them or give them water quickly, and instead put them on an intravenous drip." They are at an extremely high risk for nausea and vomiting which is the last thing you want.

John Q Russia posted:Well I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It just rubbed me the wrong way when someone rolled up to suggest a corner fire is solely a symbol of some dystopian future nightmare. It's ironic because an oil drum on a corner is the last thing you would expect in a dystopian future nightmare of either outright fascist police state or societal anarchy. The last thing you want is to illustrate your position of a illicit barrel owner to the gang/officer.

revolther posted:You have no hobo-street cred with me, I've been WELL below the poverty line my entire life, with a family of five living in a garage at times, homeless at others, and still struggling to keep my head above water to this day. The reason I asked was because it would be nice to know if I would have to worry about being thrown in jail rather than freezing to death if the situation came to it, because (in my eyes) America does mistreat the homeless and a law enforcing such would be (again, in my eyes) tantamount to systematic murder. You sound quite young and I sincerely doubt you have ever been in true privation where you had to care for yourself. If freezing to death and jail are your options you really have to have a sperging streak the size of Texas to side with death. More likely, in a dystopian future the police would beat you because they didn't like the looks of you, oil drum or not, and they would just leave you there instead of arresting you because gently caress paperwork and the jail's full. quote:I was assuming they'd get shut down because of a lack of extinguisher to properly contain it if it were to somehow spread, and that is more trouble than most homeless want to attract. Ahahaha, ok seriously do you have an adult you can talk to about this? The police may or may not care about your hypothetical barrel, but I guarantee you will have so many other issues a drat barrel will be the last thing on your mind for survival. baquerd fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Jan 26, 2011 |

revolther posted:I asked about the legalities of it here and now, outside of campsites when do you see people huddled around fires? Considering that for thousands of years we all crowded around them to swap stories and form communal bonds, why the gently caress not? Perhaps there is a law prohibiting it? What kind of legal basis could there be prohibit something so primal to man's existence if property damage is taken out of the equation? Yes there are almost certainly going to be several applicable ordinances in the city municipal/fire code related to safety reasons. Your personal opinion about where it is safe is irrelevant.

Mr.Hotkeys posted:I'm actually really surprised at how devoid the internet seems to be of these, it seems like it's something that would be really easy to make. Yeah the thing is it's so simple that pretty much every CS undergrad will give it a go before realizing its way too much work to use, let alone program. As a matter of practicality, the features offered just never really stuck out all that much over pen and paper or using notepad, so the commercial incentive is basically absent, and the functionality basically got rolled into every e-calendar ever.

Gravity Pike posted:Growing up in the suburbs in Utah, I kind of got used to seeing bugs in the house. I'd see a fly or beetle on the wall or a spider skittering across the floor on maybe a daily basis. (Maybe not that often, but at least several per week.) Same deal when I was going to college in Spokane, in eastern Washington. I moved to Seattle about 10 months ago, and I never see bugs inside. I can count the number of bugs I've seen indoors in the past 10 months on one hand. What's the deal? A wide variety of factors among a lack of habitat and food, the presence of predators such as birds, pollution and acid rain, and years of active eradication efforts by the populace make cities in general mostly bug-free except for the most resilient scavengers (most notably the cockroach).

You want to shorten the other end and re-attach the buckle, generally speaking.

Don't crouch, that's too associated with talking to children.

Dudebro posted:Yet defaults and bankruptcies are so commonplace so is it really a wise practice? In order to default on a loan, one must first obtain a loan. During this process, the lender will perform a risk analysis where the dollar adjusted probability of you costing them money is less than the dollar adjusted probability you making them money. Bad risk analysis is not a wise practice.

Or is the only difference that the second power supply should be capable of supplying more power if more components were added? In practice you will only draw what power is used, but PSU's aren't 100% efficient so the answer depends on the relative efficiency of each PSU.

After checking with your insurance to see what is covered, I'd recommend heading directly to a psychiatrist if it is covered, saving money on the GP visit and talking to the professional in the best position to help you. 4. Benzodiazapenes, used to treat short term anxiety are the main "abused" drugs. If you want to try anti-depressants they hand them out almost like candy. 5. Depends on your insurance.
