@awdark: try

I like the redesign of the connector originally done by NASA. This just has the plunger protected a bit more. You can buy the NASA style ones for keys for about a dollar at most hardware stores, or better quality ones for about 3 dollars at more upscale places.

@DPeezy: Realist. I've had jobs where people get paid to check up on me and follow me etc. to verify my actions when I am on "company" time. I don't do that stuff anymore but there was always some fun at chats when back at the work place. Like explaining I went to Canada driving 4 hours there just to eat dinner and…

@Seventhexile Speaks: At my home I use a Sony low lux camera that looks like a peephole in the door. The peephole viewer spy device gets an out-of-focus image of the imaging sensor element. On the road I tape a photograph of an apocalyptic scene from an old twilight zone episode that shows a destroyed downtown city…

Wow, I have always wanted a way to find the local korean hotpot restaurants.

For those of you thinking a commercial iPhone 4 mount may resolve the "don't do this with your iPhone 4" issues, think again. The NPI Ram Mount for the iPhone 4 while having a different part number than the others is just a rebagged original iPhone mount. And the small ears at the bottom are too small, and the fit is…

Wow. Long night. I had a great image of a Japanese version of Chairface Chippendale from The Tick with zombie cats pulling themselves out of the crevices.

The socket in the image is a universal outlet. It will accept almost any world wide plug from the bulky UK to the funky angled Australian (or is it New Zealand) ones and US Euro and Russian. There are I think some issues with Swiss and Italian ones ... But I haven't any in my kit to look at at the moment or to plug…

I use this to find out if a particular payphone accepts incoming calls.

He originally had 9 outlines for movies, and Paramount started at #4.

@ratdude1: At 30 seconds when the bullet stops the rifling mark is clearly visible.

@MasterYong: You don't understand glasers then. They most assuredly will penetrate a door and expand immediately upon exit and not before. It is one of the points they make in their literature. You can be a mere few inches from the door and be showered with a spray of inconsequential (mostly) birdshot, however, and…

@acidrain69: Only a Democrat has dropped a nuke on an enemy.

All things are cyclic

@MasterYong: Softer material can cause greater deformation. For example, a "glazer safety slug" shot into a soft substance deforms immediately into birdshot going in all directions. Yet it can be fired through a wooden door and does not deform until it exits the much harder wooden door. (and in this case it will…

@707kevin: You're able to contain all the momentum, which is "mv" the kinetic energy would be "mv**2" If the gun remaining in your hands was as light as the bullet you'd be hurting. The gun's recoil's potential velocity is limited by the ratio of mass between the bullet and the gun, as the energy of the explosion…

@National Sarcasm Society: I think one would be prudent to avoid a gun-toting bear. Hunting one seems foolish.

@LandofMinos. What is that little white haired, British accented F1 mascot? A garden gnome or a leprechaun?: America delivers 220/234 volts to the house with a independent ground wire and a "neutral". The 220 is split phase so that when compared to neutral there is 110 vAC on each leg, but the potential between the…

GM Lied. Mostly owned by the government. Hmmm....
