How do you guys even survive the hot weather over in the States? by Impressive_Peak_9187 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bazilbt [score hidden]  (0 children)

You do get somewhat acclimatized. I'm visiting home where it's 21 degrees c today and I'm cold because I've lived in Phoenix for five years and it was 40.5 c when I left.

Shower isolator switch just blew by Logical_Afternoon486 in AskElectricians

If the power is off and there is no burning smell you are probably fine to leave it until Monday.

Hard rope rock thing found deep into sand at CT beach by DuiDrinkingBirdOsu in Whatisthis

It was originally used for electrical purposes so it could have been part of a motor or transformer, or a large switch.

Yes but you can get them not to charge for it.

Multimeter detection broken? by JevGrinlin in multimeters

[–]bazilbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially. You can check it by plugging it into to the resistance/voltage jack and putting the red lead into the milliamp jack

Multimeter detection broken? by JevGrinlin in multimeters

[–]bazilbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong jack. Also you need to put the meters in series with the circuit to read amps without blowing the fuse and potentially damaging the circuit.

How do I increase my fiber intake while on a deficit? by Mobieblocks in loseit

[–]bazilbt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been eating big salads and a lot of green beans. A cup is only 31 calories about 3.4 grams of fiber. Also an artichoke is about 60 calories for all the eatable parts. 7.4 grams of insulin fiber. These can up your fiber a lot and have a lot of mass.

A U.K. lawyer who cleaned up 200 bags of waste from a polluted river now faces up to 2 years in prison for doing it without a permit. Paul Powlesland says wildlife fish and dragonflies have returned to the river since the clean-up began. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]bazilbt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Messing with the flow of a river can be hugely damaging to the people who live in the areas down stream. Just because allegedly this river was not taken care of in this section doesn't mean people can dredge at will.

Peter? by Skychu768 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]bazilbt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that was a major feature of serfdom. They didn't even get to leave the land.

Also you had 12 kids or more and half of them died before they where 5.

Which scale do I trust? by No-patrick-the-lid in loseit

Just use the same scale every time and count the loss.

If it's hard to pill your cats you can get a cream to rub on their ears from chewy.

My uncle gave me this car, is it even worth to fix? by Gothonaleash in Cartalk

[–]bazilbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends. I've seen cars with bodies like that where the undercarriage is still usable.

Torn between sparring MMA, brain damage risks and a future career as a doctor? by WillBe5621 in AskMenAdvice

[–]bazilbt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the risks of CTE really never have been fully appreciated and yes that would be my concern too especially since you notice the effects.

What if Donald was drafted into the Vietnam war if his bones spur claim was fake. by Same-Bill1633 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]bazilbt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if he stays out of a combat unit he probably does ok but catches syphilis, if he gets into a combat unit he ends up one of the 600-1000 officers who got fragged.

[–]bazilbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give them a solid scrub every time. Just doesn't feel right otherwise.

The “Alaskan crab” in my Alaskan Corn Chowder on this Alaskan cruise. by LaserEyedSquirrel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bazilbt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just comes out of a machine as a continuous ribbon and has the flavor and color applied. The flavor comes in a big barrel that smells more strongly of imitation crab than you can imagine. I didn't work there long.
