    anyone know what this microtemp fuse is?

    so long story short we narrowed down to this small fuse that was bad. i tried looking everywhere on google to see where i can buy one, but i can only find similar ones and not the exact one. i found like x22 (but it's 3A), cylinder looking fuse, different brands, but nowhere this one. so i want to know if i should just buy a different brand, but with the same "150c 2.5A 250v"? do you guys think this version is discontinued and is now upgraded to the cylinder versions? because that's all i see when i tried searching. i'm not too electrical, so i don't know too much. and this came off of a coil for a very old electric battery charger that according to my buddy is discontinued.

    I need help identifying this Rock/Mineral? ?

    so my brother reeled this thing in while out at sea. this is what i've observed;

    1. its's shinny when you shine light at it.

    2. don't have a scale, but compared to a 10 LB dumbbell... i want to say about 3~4 LB? i've picked up a chunk of metal the same size and it's wayyy heavier.

    3. magnet won't attach to it.

    4. to me it looks like someone just got a torch and did a bad job at cutting a piece of metal. if you've ever used or seen someone used a torch to cut metals, you'll see those tiny little balls of metal roll around. and i can see those tiny balls stuck to some areas of the "thing". 

    5. i can see some spots with color change, like when you heat a metal up and it turns that weird rainbow color.

    6. one of the picture is zoomed in and got me puzzled. it shows what appears to be strands/ fibers? looks kind of like fiberglass.

  • suggestions on a decent photography camera?

    I am looking for a camera that armature photographers can use. Besides just knowing the name of the most common brand "Canon" and some basic functions... I know nothing about the types of cameras there are. I started to get sick and tired of trying to take a picture of the magnificent full moon at night with my phone... and it comes out looking like a grain of salt in the sky.... I hope these requirements will help y'all help me narrow something down.   

    1. I'm looking for something portable, small or decent size. I know the lens are what makes them big (like those coffee mug lens). So unless it's affordable and comes with the lens, then I don't need it if it can save me money. Preferably something small I can carry on my body and whip out when something catches my eyes. But if there's a decent size camera that is a bang for my buck, but I have to carry around a small lunch box... then I don't mind.      2. So yes, I am looking for something "affordable". I know the better quality the picture, the more it'll cost. All I want is a camera that can take a good picture of the moon and sceneries. Unless it's affordable, I don't need something like the hubble telescope. 

    I hope my description of the; size, pricing, and picture quality will help you narrow something down. thank you for the help!

  • How do shrimpers determine shrimp size?

    How do they determine the size right out of the net? I assume it’s a skill you learn after doing it for a while. Kind of like determining what wrench size you need just by looking at a nut/bolt (I still have trouble between 1/2 and 7/16 though). But what if you got a new crew member that is still learning? It’s not like fish boat where they have ruler tables or crab boats that have crab rulers. Ain’t nobody got time to measure a million shrimp. I’m guessing they would eye the shrimp size, throw them into colored basket that determines the different size, once it’s full they will then weigh 1 pound of shrimp to determine the actual size. But that’s bad for the buyers because they could be buying medium shrimp and 20% of the bag are small shrimp. Of course it’s a win, win for the seller though XD.

  • Best way to get out of first gear in a manual car?

    First off I want to say that I already know how to drive a manual. But I want to know how to drive it better so I don’t burn my clutch :P. 

    So the 2 most common methods that everyone teach is to,

    1. Rev to 1500 rpm and release the clutch slowly or

    2. Just release the clutch slowly and once the car move, give it some gas. 

    So the thing with method 1 is that... my right foot has tourettes... so every time i try to hold it at 1500 and release clutch... I either shoot for the stars (rpm skyrockets) or  I stall out because my foot gave up :/... I still can’t figure out how people do small revs while releasing the clutch :O just thinking about it makes my foot go numb XD...

    I’m able to get Method 2 down majority of the time. But what I tend to do is release the  clutch out slowly until the car starts moving. by the time I reach 3-4 mph, clutch should be out and car stays at 5mph without stepping on the gas. Is that bad? I’m not going fast enough to burn the clutch right? Or would revving to 1500 be a better way and I just need to discipline my foot?

  • Does google map have the ability to tell you all the closest gas station while on a road trip?

    So my first road trip back in 2016 was crazy AF!!! I drove from Mississippi to El Paso and there was a part of the map that was like 200 mile with nothing in sight... I got to the point where my “remaining miles before empty” said 26 miles left and I looked at the road and there was a sign that said “20 miles before next gas station” XoX... I told myself that I was going to make it while sweating bullets. I almost had a heart attack when I looked down and all I see is “warning! Very low fuel level!” But no sign of my mile gage... but I eventually made it though :O..

    Annyyy ways... so I was woundering if google maps or any other app has the ability to

    1. Show all the gas stations on your route

    2. Set specific gas stations that you will stop at on your route

    3. Show you the distance of every gas station on your route just in case you accidentally pass one and you can see if you need to make a U turn if you won’t make it to the next one.

    I know Tesla has an app that shows you all the charging ports on your route... but idk how to use google maps to well

  • Looking for a video about a old Japanese mom learning to drive her husband manual car (Supra?)?

    It starts off with herself in a typical kitchen apron and her husband in a work suit. And I guess the husband can’t drive no more? So he gets his wife to start learning to drive it. And of course she stalls out like a million time, but every day for the next like 2 weeks or so she countinues to practice. And then at the end I think she drives to pick him up and starts drifting home or something 🤔🤔🤔🤔 but I typed in everything on google and YouTube and can’t find nothing!!! “Japanese mom leaning manual” etc etc...

  • question about re-re-registering?

    so long story short, my sister is going to refinancing my car because it's going to be hers. and they couldn't continue with the process because my car is registered in Texas and she lives in California. soooo... i had to re register to California (FKing $230 or something). and then i found out that the total cost to refinance will be almost as much as a new FKing car..... of course we cancelled the deal.

    so i was wondering if it will cost as much to re-re-register it back to texas? or should i just leave it registered in cali? 0.o.... >XD this some BSSSS!!!!!

  • what is a good FPV RC quadcopter i should buy?

    the reason why i want a FPV goggle is because my brain tends to crash when the RC; car, plain or helicopter is pointing a different direction if you know what i mean.

    for example, you got an RC car that is about 10 feet in front of you. it s facing towards you and you give it some gas to move closer. 1 feet in front of the car is a right turn, BUT! your brain is still trying to figure out between right and left. and then you randomly pulled the handle on the controller left (rather then right) because in your eyes it looks like a left turn (but it s really a right turn), making you crash into a wall.....

    i am also very good with flying a heli in BF4 :P i guess cuz it s FPV

    here are some requirements

    1. not trying to brake the bank... unless it s a veryyy good deal, then i ll try saving every penny for it.

    2. i don t want a scenic route quad that flys 5mph just to take pics. i want something just below a racing quad. good speed, can do tricks with, but nothing crazy like a racing quad.... unless they re affordable then y not :P

    3. and of course the FPV goggles, but nothing crazy like the fat shark goggles that are dam ~$300 0.o....

  • question about microwaving hard boiled eggs?

    it might sound like a dumb question as in why not do it yourself. long story short, i don't have a stove so i can't do it :P....

    so if you where to crack an egg and microwave it, it will have this plastic/ rubbery like texture right? so will it too have a plastic/rubbery like texture if you where to put a hard boiled egg (with the shell off) in the microwave?!?!

    again long story short someone posted a video about how someone is selling fake eggs. how the eggs look more larger then normal and when you boiled it, it would look normal as well. but when you go and microwave it, it would have a plastic/ rubbery like texture. and i want to see if it's normal for this to happen and prove him wrong. and of course this video was from a different country.

  • just a few questions about the oculus rift?

    so like everyone else, i'v been waiting for the final product to come out >:D but there are some things that i want to know before buying it.

    Q1. so i watched a review video about the oculus rift DK2 by the founder. and he side some pretty cool stuff about it. of course one of them is being better then the DK1. But he also said to not by DK2 unless you're a producer. so does that mean i should be aiming for a DK3?

    Q2. this question might sound dumb, but hang in there with me :D. so if oculus rift is going more towards realistics, then why sell it with a controller? someone created the DEXMO glove. and there are a lot of games that would go grate with it. unless it's to expensive to add it together with the oculus rift and would rather be an add on or something like that. or the company that made DEXMO dont want to team up with rift?

  • why are dinosaur costumes so expansive?!?!?

    after seeing some dinosaur prank videos, i'v always dreamed of buying one. But if you already know, they cost a fortune D: and i want to know what is it that make them cost so much?

    my guess are

    -the details

    -the amount of time it takes to make

    -the materials

    -and the demand (how badly people want it)

    these are the only thing i can think of that will make it cost a lot... but i still don't think it's worth 5k~~ 0.o i also found this awesome suit that actually hides the leg. unlike the common one where you can see their legs, making it look less intimidating. too bad it doesn't say the cost :P prob 10k? -_-

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60jKp-yoaV4

    so with the crafting skills, would it be cheaper to just make one? i mean of course if you're making it yourself all you need to worry about is the materials. but would the materials be affordable and not cost 3k? i never craft before so idk the price of stuff you might need :P any ruff guess's?

  • can you get stationed in Gulfport MS. if you re in the army?

    i found out that Gulfport MS. only have navy and airforce bases. But! army has an AIT for carpentry on the NCBC base. I been thinking about the carpentry MOS because i love to build, and it would be a bonus for me if i get stationed there because of family. So i was wondering, sense it s not an Army base can you still get stationed there without having to be an AIT instructor, a cook, or the likes? Or is it just for AIT ?!?!?!

    i know some of you are going to tell me "they will station you where your MOS is needed the most." i already know that, i just want to know if its possible to get stationed here where there is no army base?

  • Can I Bring MRE's in my checking bag with American Airlines?

    it's a dumb question sense there's already an answer to it, but i want to make sure.

    here's my problem.

    so i ask a similar question before and thanks to someone who used to work as a TSA. he said i am allowed to put MRE's in my checking bag. but i forgot to add a little more detail to the question. this time i want to know if it's allowed with American Airlines? i did some researching and found out that the "Customer Service FAQs" says "no." because of the heating packs... why would they say no when TSA says yes 0.o?!?!

    But anyways, do you think they would accept it if i take out the heating packs? and you must be thinking, "why don't you just call them and ask?"... well i tried searching everywhere for their help line and email address. but it's mostly for helping out with purchasing tickets, fixing your account, disability assistance etc... but nothing to do with questions.....
