    Best source for 5 and 8 mm LED's?

    Best source for 5 and 8 mm LED\'s? I have searched so much I give up! I would like to buy from 10 to 50 pieces each (dep. on price) of Red, Green, Blue, Cyan and UV 5 or 8 mm Led's. E Bay seems the best source but I notice a big discrepancy in specs from one seller to the next, especially on...

    Panasonic Oxyride next generation batteries

    Thanks, treek Obviously my bad for not doing a true search and just perusing the posts for the last couple of months. Looks like a lot of info has already been posted on it. I must be overlooking it somewhere, but I still don't see actual voltage listed anywhere.

    Panasonic Oxyride next generation batteries

    I came across this info today and thought I would post a link. Looks like they will far outperform Alkalines and be about a buck each for AA or AAA MSRP. They susposedly will last 1 1/2 to 2 times longer than Alkies and will power the Panasonic Oxyride car and driver for 3/4 of a mile on just...

    Re: \"Surefire samples\" post on BST.Agree or disagr Point taken lazerburnz. However if you will read more carfully, you will see I made that phone call and was treated VERY rudely! As for trashing the thread, you should understand that is why I posted to make all comments here. The...

    Mountain oysters, anyone?

    I forgot what they call it but unborn calves are a huge delicacy in parts of the world. It's amazing how we view things outside our own culture and often don't look at things from another point of view and realize how weird we must be to other cultures. I think Bill is correct about the Basque...

    Exploding Science Fair Project?

    I still predict minimal to no swelling of the pipe with no bursting or splitting. Had too many water pipes freeze in the MidWest!

    Mountain oysters, anyone?

    As I said, I havn't had them since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I don't remember how I was persuaded to eat them but I know that unlike today, growing up in the '50s you pretty much ate what your parents told you to! I'm pretty sure they didn't tell me they were vegetables!

    Exploding Science Fair Project?

    Not sure if you will have enough volume of water to get the effect you want. When household pipes freeze and burst the pipe simply swells and then splits. You don't have to worry about an "explosive" project. A sealed hard plastic item FULL of water will burst when frozen much easier than...
