Shelf Adventure posted:I remember watching this super shrimpers show on the tv in the UK. One tip to save money was to save the netting you get when you buy oranges. After you get a lot of them, bundle them together and you don't need to waste money on a scouring pad. You know those things that last a while and are like 3 for £1? "Pop" financial advisors loving love these nickle and dime schemes because it shows a definite (bugger all) amount that a person can save without actually saving enough to better their lives at all.

stratdax posted:Corrupt? Dude if a cop pulls you over for doing a California Stop because he's low on his ticket quota, then you say "sorry I just have a lot on my mind, I just got fired, I'll be more careful" and he lets you off with a warning, that's not corruption. That's just having some sympathy. You dont really get off for poo poo like that in Australia unless you've got basically no record. RCarr posted:I don't know if you are trolling or just plain crazy, but cops let people go for a lot less all the time. I understand this is the awful lifehacker thread, but that's a pretty stupid rear end stretch all things considered.

C.M. Kruger posted:Courtesy of the OSHA thread, One Crazy Trick That Big Battery Doesn't Want You To Know: Sorry but I still dont understand the issue with this one. He replaced the existing cells with replacements.. soldered everything properly I assume and rebuilt it using the same case. How is that dangerous as long as he was competent in all his connections? El Estrago Bonito posted:Also most six sided dice you get in games like Monopoly or whatever are already weighted towards 6's. This is why Casino dice are specially drilled or printed flat. The one side has the least material drilled from it ergo it is the heaviest. Yeah Casino dice are awesome. Actually machined out on a milling machine and each dot is drilled then refilled with an identical but white plastic to ensure weight distribution.

Buttonhead posted:My dad (an electrical engineer) tried to rebuild a battery pack, and it worked. Until he put it on the charger... The battery pack charged up (I assume), then started smoking, then it blew up and flung pieces of plastic 30 feet across the room. Did he use the wrong rated batteries or something? Just seems to me that effectively identical cells should be perfectly safe.

MindlessHavok posted:The headphones/speakers = microphone is a great way to gently caress your speakers and/or sound card up. What? No it wont. The speakers are going to suck as a microphone because of the size of the cone but it wont do anything except output a lovely signal. If you tried using a microphone as a speaker though you would blow up the mic pretty easily im sure however.

Why are people so drat obsessed by carbohydrates? Use loving portion control instead of changing your entire eating style because of what someone on the internet told you to do. Theres a reason why people who actually exercise dont really worry that much about their drat carb intake.
