Throw it away. Seriously, it's way more work and not worth it to clean, unless you're sleeping underneath an armani bedsheet or something.

If you have a translucent plastic lighter you can see a tube, connected to the bottom of the valve, going down almost to the bottom of the reservoir fully in the liquid butane. Why's the tube there? Wouldn't you want the gaseous butane from the top of the reservoir and have the bottom of the valve just not have a tube? Why doesn't it spew liquid butane having that tube? edit: My science comes from loving around with canned-air pc duster stuff and assuming it probably does not have a tube, why you get gas when right-side up, liquid when upside down. You get liquid no way from a lighter. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Mar 18, 2012 |

The butane in the lighter is under pressure - butane is gas at 1 atm, and liquid under pressure. Holding the button down opens a valve, and pressure in the lighter forces liquid up through the tube. As soon as it exits the valve, it becomes a gas, and catches on fire. I'd guess they do it this way so you get a larger volume of butane gas through a smaller hole.

I'd guess they do it this way so you get a larger volume of butane gas through a smaller hole. More like they do it this way so they can cram more butane into each small lighter, extending its life. If it was unpressurized gas in the lighter, it'd be gone in a heartbeat.

Does anyone know what would actually happen to your hand if it got stuck in a garbage disposal? GIS (I don't recommend this) brings up some really nasty pictures but I am skeptical that they are actually of hands that were destroyed by disposals. My guess is that if your hand got caught in one it would likely gently caress it up and probably break a finger or two, assuming you has the sense to pull it out right away. I would imagine someone would have to force your hand in to really tear it up.

A question. This evening, I was going to make a frozen pizza for dinner. When I opened it, there were a number of rodent droppings. How would I go about telling the folks at Newman's Own that they might want to step up quality control? Is there a tactful way to do this sort of thing? Douche Bag, it gets what most people would say is entirely too much coverage. A candidate's every action is scrutinized. Perhaps 10 minutes out of a 30 minute nightly newscast is purely politics. It's far, far worse on 24 hour cable. Volcott fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Mar 20, 2012 |

Douche Bag posted:Could some non-Americans fill me in on how much media coverage US presidential elections get in their country? Danish media have reporters in important primary-states, where they interview voters. Most times they visit their home and family and talk about how their chosen candidate will affect their life is he's elected. Then they report on the result the next morning (Danish time of course), and that's it. They covered the debates, if the candidates said something stupid, but nothing beyond that. About 5-8 minutes per night of "big" primaries. 1-2 minutes in the morning. The general election will be covered more closely.

Here in Switzerland its mostly just news of which candidate won in which state. Of course the more stupid stuff gets a bit more coverage (Rick Perry not knowing which federal agency he wants to close down and stuff like that). Theres not too much about the candidates themselves, mostly just that they're all hardcore right wingers from our(Switzerland) point of view.

I'm going down to a job interview later and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my suit pants and jacket since I'll be driving my motorcycle. Do you think it'll be terribly wrinkly if I carefully fold it in a backpack and haul it down on my rack, then like change in a fast food place bathroom? I'm hesitant to just wear a suit for a 45 minute ride because I'll probably get oil on it or something, but a couple minutes to the business I'm going to should be alright. Is there any special way I can fold the thing so it won't get wrecked during the commute? As an addendum for the future, is there like, special luggage you can use to transport suits that you can't hang from a hook in a garment bag? Ones that'll strap nicely to a motorcycle rack? 100 HOGS AGREE fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 20, 2012 |

I'm hesitant to just wear a suit for a 45 minute ride because I'll probably get oil on it or something, but a couple minutes to the business I'm going to should be alright. I've dealt with this before as even on business things, I always travel all grungy-like with a backpack, or with bike panniers. Sometimes my sleeves get the tiniest bit wrinkly but that's only when I'm careless. Without a special bag, you can: turn the blazer inside out, including sleeves after that, pop the shoulders inside out, too lay it down flat fold it carefully as you would There are special bags that are sort of like a garment bag, but they have rigid segments that basically holds a steady fold for you. Emulate this by just folding the piece over some segments of cardboard. Try to enclose the whole folded apparatus in something semi-rigid (more cardboard?), put it in a soft bag, and then strap that rigid thing down flat to the back of your bike. I'd avoid wearing them in a backpack too much - try to keep it horizontal.

What do you call a pony tail in which the hair tie is wrapped around only the ends of the hair, rather than near the skull? The only examples I can think of would be if Disney's Princess Jasmine had only the lower hair band instead of both.

Stupid question, but I have my road test on Thursday (shameful for my age, I know, but I live in NYC and could get by without driving for a really long time). One area I'm not really comfortable with is how to adjust my car while parallel parking if I'm either too close or too far from the curb as I near the end of backing up into the space (with the wheel turned all the way to the left). I keep trying to rationalize in my head what to do in either situation, but I'm not sure if my reasoning is sound. Here's what I got: 1) If I'm too close to the curb (i.e. my rear wheels are going to hit the curb if I keep reversing), I should stop, put the car in drive, pull forward a little bit, put the car in reverse, turn the wheel all the way to the left, back up until I feel I'm a good distance from the curb, and then straighten out (?) 2) If I'm too far from the curb, I should put the car in drive, turn the wheel all the way to the right, pull forward a little, then straighten out (?) I'm not too great with mechanics and spatial imaging, so if you can explain the reasoning behind the proper actions to take as well, that would be extremely helpful. If anyone can provide video, diagrams, or even crude MS paint illustratons if they feel that it'd help, that would be greatly appreciated as well. In the interest of full disclosure, I am Chinese, but I think this is more of an issue of me being terrible at most things I do than my ethnic group being inherently worse at driving.

Perhaps this will help? I haven't actually had to parallel park for ages, to be honest, but I'm reasonably certain that's how I'd normally do it when I had to, I think. To be honest, though, unless you're using your mirror to do so, you kinda do need to have some idea of where your wheels/bumpers are. Also, the NYC resident thing is probably more damning than whatever you associate being Chinese with. My friend is Chinese, and moved to NYC. He had no problem parking his car except finding a spot. It really just takes practice. If you can spend a lot of time today, I'd maybe get out to the suburbs/ a large parking lot (like a mall or something) with some garbage cans or something you can use to substitute for cars, and just practice like mad. To be honest though, unless you're doing something particularly unpleasant, like trying to parallel park on a hill in a standard, it isn't too tough, it's just something ingrained in popular culture as "difficult." Part of it is really just a mental, rather than mechanical aspect. e. On reviewing that picture, that's a lot of space, and I'm reasonably certain my general method is to turn the wheel right far earlier, maybe when my front wheels are in line with the front car's front wheels, and then spin to left lock when I'm past their right wheels. But that was in a nice, small hatchback, with the wheels fairly close to the front end of the car. This worked pretty well in most situations. Honestly, your best bet is to just get a bunch of practice in a low-stress situation; as much as you can before the test. Also, unless NYC's test is much more strict and I'm remembering wrong, if you do everything else fine, a small mistake probably won't result in you failing. Either way, good luck!

Over correction is a common issue with just about all aspects of driving. Unless it's a pretty tight space you should be able to maneuver in and out without cranking hard.
