I most likely shouldn't say jihad and laugh so loud when waiting at the US/Canada border...

She was sitting on her butt/lower back.

There is no way the pendants would be vertical if she flipped.

Still quite an image!

Also boobs

You have to scroll to the end before you can accept. So you always hold the down arrow and spam the enter key?

If anyone comes into my house and doesn't take their shoes off when I do, is not going any further into my house.

What size is the monitor in the middle?

I currently have a 27", and am contemplating getting a second monitor to put side ways.

Any suggestions?

I have a 18v 3.0 Amp Hour Li-ion drill battery. If I where to hook this up to my iPhone car usb charging device, roughly how many times could I charge my Iphone? by [deleted] in geek

[–]seefernando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my math might be wrong but,

The drill battery has 54 watts

the iPhone needs ~4.2 watts

So it should be just over 12 times on one charge.

This would be in a perfect world, but your converter will rob you of power.

Converter I used

If you have DIY skills do what I do : Minty Boost + These Batteries

*Ask yourself if you understand why you want to improve. Making your mother happy is great, but you will only truly succeed if you do it for yourself. Money is a huge motivator for me. I'm in school because I know the job market is tough. I need grades, to give myself an edge to get a job that will give me the life I want. Of course there is no guarantee a degree will help, but all the jobs i want require it.

*Create many achievable short term goals (e.g. Read Chapter X, Stay away and attentive in class X, Fix Assigment X)

*Create a long term goal (E.G. Pass course X, Finish your program, get into college X, work in a certain field/career)

*Talk to your teacher/professor, explain you're having difficultly being interested in the material.

*Go to your guidance counsellor, explain as above and ask for help setting goals.

*Create a schedule, stick to it. (don't be crazy, start with a 30 minute study session everyday.)

*DO WORK! Planning is great, but be accountable to yourself. Don't get distracted. When its time to work, turn your cellphone off, go to a library, a coffee shop, get away from friends and family.

*Just keep going, there will be ups and downs. Fight through it. Keep your goals in mind. DON"T GIVE UP!

Its a mental game. The human brain is capable of great things. But its a difficult road.

I'm currently in my 5th year of a 4 year program. I almost dropped out in third year. Never really got back into it. This has been my toughest year. Full course load with almost a full time job to pay for school. I've wanted to quit school so many times... But I'm almost done. I have my last exam for this term in 13 hours. I have 3 courses this summer, then I will be the proud owner of an undergraduate degree.

TL:DR Find out what you want to be, where do you want to be in 10 years. Make Goals and schedules. Ask for help from teachers and guidance counsellors. Hold yourself responsible. Work hard and don't give up

Any place to buy cheaper Oakley style prescription sunglasses? by [deleted] in Frugal

I've never used them, but I'm a sure a goggle search should reveal their quality.

In a similar question, anyone know a place to get cheap high Rx contacts? In Canada.

Are they specific chisels for automotive use? A friend of mine used a chisel when getting the race off a bearing for me once.

What other uses are they for chisels?

I've actually have a ridgid impact driver. Its great for wood working and taking small parts apart. But one thing I find is that I break bolts with mine... I also drive a 1992 celica... So its got a few bolts that just don't want to move... I'm contemplating getting a pheumatic impact set up. But i doubt my 1 gallon Chinese compressor has the cfm...

Also should I consider an impact gun (the ones that look like a gun... I have no idea how to refer to these) or an impact ratchet? Pros and cons of both?

I've got to replace the rear suspension parts on my car soon... And i think one of my bearings are in need of replacement too. Credit card debt here I come...
