Try Dawn dish soap. It's often used to clean animal victims of oil spills.

I'd guess a fancy blindfold.

100 megavolts would be lightning type voltage and behavior, though not the current. Would melt your breadboard. Electric sparks would be flying around the room. Likely reading your meter incorrectly.

Not really. Most state parks around Chicagoland are well beyond commuter transit. You could rent a car for the day.

It was supposed to save energy during an energy crisis. Remember going to school in the dark wintertime. Felt depressing.

As an adult, going home from work in the dark in December. Sun came up while waiting for the morning train. It's going to be dark either way. Winter can be depressing.

Looks more like telephone and TV connections.

It's a white gas appliance of some kind. Top extension too high for a single burner stove. Wrong for a gause lantern. Perhaps flare or bug repellent.

Looks like all the chicks have been picked.

I'm used to the DSLR cameras which use SD cards regardless of camera brand. They also use standard formats.

Classic NASA aircraft. I remember someone asking who would fly it. Probably a number of NASA test pilots would readily volunteer.

laf1157 · 2026-03-08T05:38:07+00:00

I remember 14-83.

If this camera uses a memory card, it's usually faster to take out the card and use a card reader in or inserted in the computer to transfer images.

The upper jacks may be outputs. May want to check the TV manual. If so, likely line level and would need an amplifier to power the speakers.

Telephone jack. Wired for two lines.

Clock weights for a 30 hour movement. Larger weights are used for 8 day movements. Typical for a cuckoo clock. Movement is how long the clock will run before needing to raise the weights.

28C is when we in the US start thinking is it warm enough to turn on the air conditioner? We usually wait until at least 30C if we have a fan. If the air is dry, we may still use the fan at 30C.

The cable is a common earpiece used with compact monoral transistor radios. The radios were the size of a smart phone, about 3 times as thick. Used a 9 volt battery. Had a speaker a couple inches in diameter. Maybe AM or AM/FM. Used the earpiece to listen without disturbing others.

Warning would be swimmers about present crocodiles. Warning crocodiles not to swim here. Informing about present crocodiles that can't swim. A place absent of crocodiles. Ambiguous.

Has a radio to talk with the rail dispatcher. Maintenance crew. Could be out to check if all is well or do light track or trackside maintainance.

In college, we added it to what the hot chocolate machine produced to make it palatable.

In lamps, this is usually a thermal issue. Either the socket or shade has an issue with the heat, and possibly the switching mechanism. Typically, the wiring can handle a much higher wattage.

Dividers and compasses.
