i've heard it called safety wire. it's better quality than bailing wire (and also plated stainless steel to resist corrosion). using bailing wire is the barnyard way of fixing things :P

i usually have serious doubts whenever i see bailing wire, however, here it is used WITH a threaded fastener rather than IN PLACE OF. very nice.

I didn't know I could get DSL without a land line service. It's so reasonable I subconsciously ruled such an offer out!

yea, i saw the discounts, but i'm a bit skeptical about the bump in price after the promo period. i wanna hear a few success stories of getting the promo price back :D

nothing from the at&t side...yet. i looked at comcast's website, they offer a 6 month intro price of $29/mo, then from months 7 to 12, it bumps up to $45+. this is for cable capped at 250GB/year, which seems like a lot, but i have no intention of purchasing cable TV so I run the risk of hitting that mark...

there's a bunch of DSL offerings per links from daviswiki, but then i'd need a land line from AT&T (?) or something for whatever that costs =\

My boyfriend is obsessed with porn and I want to break up with him because of it. by wilkiehepburnin AskReddit

[–]Area-Man 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i think there's a difference between "watching porn" and using webcams to have one-on-one with another person...

the first can be a turn off, but can't be considered cheating...the second...it's pretty close to cheating...

If i would ride a Drop Tower without a seatbelt, would i die? by frndlthngin AskReddit

fine, you caught me! dammit, i just didn't want to do the calcs and make all the assumptions for drag coefficient, cross-sectional area, masses, air temperature/density, and velocities!

edit: jumping out of airplanes is really really really really really fun

i'm assuming the following:

  1. terminal velocity is not reached, so air resistance can be assumed to be negligible
  2. the majority of the air resistance is "seen" by the bottom of the seat on the ride, and therefore does not affect the rider
  3. the ride is not operated in a hurricane
