    Living under or near high voltage power lines: is it dangerous?

    Not unless one falls on you! Early studies showed some sort of link to childhood leukemia, but those results have since been disproved. The researcher falsified the data. You can hear a subtle buzzing/humming noise on humid days right under them though. If that bothers you, it could be a...

    How do you drive a car/truck with an automatic transmission?

    Sounds like the engine idle speed is way to fast on the van. Other than creeping forward on a level grade, you should have to push down on the gas pedal to actually drive around town.

    Storage expert warns of short life span for burned CDs

    I've read that MO (magneto-optic) media is the most reliable, but you don't see much of that around anymore since the media doesn't hold much more than a DVD but is much more expensive.

    Re: K.I. Tactical CR2 flashlight pre-pay. S/N 002 arrived today! My KIT is brighter and whiter than my KI. I see what you mean about the anodizing mismatch for natural. The light is very purdy though and of course the workmanship is superb

    Some have had luck shimming the reflector up a little with tape or in one case, I think, by installing a set screw adjustable height mechanism.

    why dont my ac have return vents in the rooms`?

    Re: why dont my ac have return vents in the rooms` Try leaving the blower fan on all of the time to enhance the circulation. The only thing that really worked for my house in the end, though, was a separate zone for the upstairs and returns in every room. You might try a portable air...

    Is it actually possible to hit the moon?

    And by the way, "space" has huge clouds of material that can absorb light but is tranparent to radio frequencies. So radio astronomers can "see" further. There are even naturally occuring lasers in space (very,very big of course) where light is amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation...

    Re: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer Bill, They're pretty generic, I think. Supreme Power 1800mAh. I've ordered some tiny rare earth magnets from emilion's site to use instead of solder blobs. Maybe I need a better brand of battery after reading some of the nimh shootout thread. What do you...

    Re: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I'm making some progress. I've gotten it to work with the clicky trying a different set of batteries.

    Sold/Expired CLOSED: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer

    Re: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer Well, the batteries are new, although I did refresh them on the charger before using. What voltage should I expect to see on a good nimh? Do I have to add solder blobs to the flat ends of the batteries to make it work with the twisty?

    Sold/Expired CLOSED: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer

    Re: VIP Big BulkHead (BBH) Offer Help! Now that I have my BBH, I thought I would use my VIP AA tube and a couple of NiMh batteries to increase my run time on high and balance things out a little, but I can't get it to work right. With the King's crown clicky, I can't select between the low...
