What are sites like this for?

Jump

  • Sometimes it’s SEO bullshit. Manipulation of site associations and keywords to boost the rankings of other sites they’re associated with. Not for these sites specifically, but some other site. It’s weird and stupid and has to do with trying to reverse-engineer how a search engine ranks its results.

    • How can I clean my mouse wheel without taking apart my mouse?

    Jump

  • Cleaned many wheels with just a Lysol or Clorox wipe, but not the bleach or peroxide kind. Take that one guys great description of working it like a clit in a porno, but with a wet wipe of some sort. Just keep rubbing it back and forth as you rotate the wheel. It eventually removes gunk off the wheel and frees up gunk inside. Let it dry a bit before plugging it back in. If you have alcohol wipes or just high concentration alcohol, even better than the wipes, but maybe you have one or the other on hand.

    • Does anyone else remember this movie or am I going crazy?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah! I definitely remember the car from that movie. Weird vehicle, that one.

    • Would Nuclear Weapons be as destructive in ship to ship space combat, as they are on the ground in an atmosphere?

    Jump

  • The massive EMPs that blasted the Pacific back in the day were generated with upper-atmospheric testing. The way it interacted with the upper atmosphere was special. If you set off the charge higher in space with no atmosphere, the EMP effect is lessened.

    • Spending some time in Narnia?

    Jump

  • It usually involves some alcohol and the realization that you suddenly gain A LOT of attention from the men present.

    • How to pull rocks out of pipe in the ground?

    Jump

  • I used to live in a house where the gas shutoff valve for the fireplace was in the living room floor, controlled with a little key. It was the perfect size for a marble to fall in and block it.

    I found a metal straw and taped it to the end of my vacuum hand attachment, effectively forcing the suction through the straw. I felt I may have been straining the vacuum a bit, but I was able to pull the marble out easy-peasy.

    If you have an attachment that fits in that hole, you’re good. If not, you can use a similar method to this.
