My theory is they screw into a rotating piece, so maybe you can twist both pedals in opposite directions (or wedge one so it can't move while twisting the other) to get them loose?

jackpot posted:2) Would there be any legal ramifications to having a tree that large/tall in your backyard? #2: As a disclaimer that I know nothing about trees or tree regulations, from a commonsense standpoint you wouldn't be allowed to have such a huge tree in the middle of an urban area due to risk of it snapping from high winds and causing some real damage. I'd wager you also have to worry about tree diseases of some sort but again no idea on that one. #3: There's a reason there aren't giant redwoods growing all over the place. You could certainly try but wind/heat/rainfall/competition probably will not give it the right conditions to survive to adulthood.

Checking a web page uses a very small amount of data. This will go up if there are large images that need to be loaded. Using interactive media like youtube or flash apps will quickly use up your data. Most smart phones will have a way of limiting your data usage so you don't go over your cap. No idea about your non-smartphone, but there must be some way to check your data usage - either on the phone itself or by dialing your provider and going through a robot call. On your bill it should also provide information about how much of your data plan you used. 300MB should be more than enough for checking the weather every few days. Noone can say for sure what the data usage will be, since each method you use to check it will use a different amount.

The only one I know of is intercepting the generated key from the keyfob before it gets sent to Blizzard (or wherever) and having the hijacker use it themselves. To do this the hijacked user would need to have malicious software already on their computer ready to either cut off the sent message or record the keystrokes, and even then the generated key would only be usable for a very short time. I recall this was actually done in WoW as a proof-of-concept but didn't take hold, because a LOT of people still retain the mentality that getting hacked only happens to Stupid People and they could never get hacked so they don't even have two-factor authentication anyway.

Gas prices are crucial to a lot of americans. If I can't afford my gas, I can't get to work, or visit family, or bring groceries home (the nearest grocery store is 5 miles). If bread doubles in price I'll just not have sandwiches that week. If gas prices change there is no alternative, I have to bend over.

Turn down your monitor's gamma as much as you can stand (only for this interview) and use some warm looking yellowy light from another light source, preferrably above or behind you but not blinding the web cam. Alternatively stop being greasy/disgusting because eventually they will have to see you in person anyway.

Rosalind posted:As an adult getting braces in a week, I've been considering what color bands to get. Some people keep telling me to go clear but then other people said that clear bands turn brown pretty quickly if you drink staining beverages (I drink a ton of black tea). Am I going to look supremely childish and stupid if I decide to get a color combination instead? I was thinking light blue with dark blue would match my eyes and might look nice or perhaps pink with silver. You can also get white. I preferred white as it made my teeth look whiter! I've never heard of the bands being stained/losing their color.

Tiggum posted:Do American schools stagger the lunch break? Is that just something that happens in really big schools, or is it just a normal thing that most schools do? Going to school in Australia, even in a school of 2000 students, we all had our recess and lunch breaks at the same time. I can't see the advantage in having them at different times. Lunches at our ~1200 student school were separated by grade. K-6 would filter in by grade every ten minutes. After that 7-9 all ate at once, followed by 10-12 a half hour later. (High school periods are on a strict by-the-bell schedule so there are only two opportunities near noon for lunch.) Tiggum posted:You had to spend your lunch break inside? In K-6 we were given about 40 minutes to eat and then go outside to play. Grades after that aren't allowed to leave the building. Too much hookie/idiot teenagers in the street caused this rule to start being enforced. Your options are sit by your grade's locker area, go to the gym (basketballs were provided), go to the library, or sit in a lounge type area in the back of the school. As someone who ate lunch alone for two years I want to punch Kristi Harrison in the mouth.

Coatlicue posted:I rent an apartment that has an AC unit mounted in the wall. Since it is getting colder out, do I need to cover the unit in any way to keep the cold air out? If so, do you cover the inside part or the outside part? My first apartment came with a cover for the air conditioner. It completely covers the inside part and is held in place with latches screwed into the wall. My current apartment has an air conditioner with no cover. When I asked about it I was told that the AC unit was designed to not let in airflow when not on. I suspect this is bullshit but I haven't been through a winter at my current apartment yet. Lastly, my original home had two air conditioner units that had covers that go on the outside of the house. I would look up your ac model if you can find it and google around or call the manufacturer. You can also ask your property owner, or a neighbor if you're in an apartment with ac units supplied. I suspect that covering it in any case will improve your insulation, inside or outside.

Yeah that seems like a no-brainer. Tell your sister that the motherboard doesn't work, and don't allow her near your things if she is a thief. I don't get why she would just throw everything on the floor instead of trying to make it look like she wasn't in there though. It's also not common for family members to steal from each other.

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:Is there any way to wintertize sliding glass doors? Keeping my apartment above 50 degrees pretty much requires emergency heat settings, and I have to think that a lot of it is being lost through the giant panes of glass. If you believe it is the glass itself then I recommend using the same treatment as you would for a window: an additional layer of plastic taped and sealed on the door frame that traps air between the glass and plastic will act as a layer of insulation. If air is escaping through cracks/gaps on the edge of the door, there is putty you can buy to stick around the door edge that you can just peel off come spring. Both of these require that you don't actually use your door during the winter though.

Nobody can prove it, but T-Rex had very big eyes which probably gave it excellent vision, up to par with if not better than birds of prey. In the book though, it is explained they gently caress up the dino-dna and give it frog vision, and frogs actually do use movement to see. (Read the book, it's pretty good)

miryei posted:Why doesn't plant matter have potentially harmful bacteria living inside it? Is it because plants and humans are sufficiently different that the bacteria living inside of, say, lettuce can't harm us, or because plants have some mechanism that's really good at preventing them from getting in? Insides of fruits are highly acidic which prevents or greatly slows bacterial growth. You still should wash the outside since non-fruit material can be stuck to it and serve as bacterial hosts.

If doing something feels good it is a motivation factor. It makes a person feel good to help others because it is our nature.

So say you have a 4 page doc, you would load 2 pages of paper in your printer, it would print pages 1+3, then you reinsert the paper upside down, and it prints pages 2+4.

tuyop posted:Would we all die? Read this to know what we know. quote:Professor J. Craig Wheeler of The University of Texas at Austin predicts Betelgeuse's demise will emit 1046 joules of neutrinos, which will pass through the star's hydrogen envelope in around an hour, then travel at near light speed to reach the Solar System six centuries later—providing the first evidence of the cataclysm. The supernova could brighten over a two-week period to an apparent magnitude of −12,[119] outshining the Moon in the night sky and becoming easily visible in broad daylight.[15] It would remain at that intensity for two to three months before rapidly dimming.[119] Since its rotational axis is not pointed toward the Earth, Betelgeuse's supernova is unlikely to send a gamma ray burst in the direction of Earth large enough to damage ecosystems.[118] The flash of ultraviolet radiation from the explosion will likely be weaker than the ultraviolet output of the Sun. The year following the explosion, radioactive decay of cobalt to iron will dominate emission from the supernova remnant, and the resulting gamma rays will be blocked by the expanding envelope of hydrogen. If the neutron star remnant becomes a pulsar, it could produce gamma rays for thousands of years.[119]
