    Getting grime off headlamps.

    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?llqb2l862vxy366 I tried toothpaste after a Google search, but that didn't help. The picture is post-toothpaste. I'd rather not cause any damage by trying something else. Anyone have an idea? My mechanic said a genuine Toyota headlamp is $312. Labor is...

    Qualifying Experience (PE input requested)

    If you are a professional engineer, then I could use your help. I graduated 3 years ago with a degree in structural engineering. Shortly thereafter I began working for a process supplier in the water/wastewater industry. Part of my job involves working with engineering firms (MWH, K/J...

    Replacing Car Seat

    I recently switched vehicles, from a 2006 Camry XLE to a 2009 Camry SE. Everything is good, except the seats on the 09. Short distances, no biggie. I tend to travel a lot though, and the longer I sit in the seat, the more my lower back hurts. I've tried adjusting the seat many times, but I...

    Indecisive about Camry

    I bought a 2006 Camry XLE V6 in mid-May. It had 49k miles and was very well taken care of. Leather is nice and supple, very clean, minimal exterior scratches. Engine and transmission checked out fine. My mechanic says I'll go 300k with regular oil changes and transmission flushes. I drive 90%...

    Public vs Private

    I sell equipment to government water/wastewater agencies in CA. Clients tell me about the benefits, pension payouts, time off, etc. As great as these benefits are, they're also a huge factor with respect to the state's economic problems. On one side, these guys are telling me to apply to...

    Damage to City property, invoice received

    I caused some damage to City property. I received an invoice, itemizing the individuals who worked to perform the repair, and their hourly rate. My concern is that when I check out the City's current pay scale online, it's about half what they're charging me. Examples: 1 Maintenance...

    How do you keep disposable blades from becoming dull?

    I read that some people dip their blade in alcohol after they're done, and the alcohol helps to evaporate the water that remains on the blade after you dry it. They also don't keep it in the bathroom due to the humidity. Other sites recommend applying blade oil after drying it to prevent the...

    Two weeks notice after one month?

    I started a job one month ago but I'll be receiving an offer in a few days for a position with more hours and more responsibility. Should I bother with the two weeks notice? My previous employer already gives me two great references (I worked there for a year), and the upcoming employer...

    Forgot to download windows 7 within 30 days.

    I had the student deal. All I get is a message saying "Sorry it's too late to download. Please contact Digital River @ blah blah". Should I bother, or are they just going to repeat the message? At least I was able to get my serial. Guess I just need to find a CD.

    How many email accounts do you have?

    I've been on a binge lately, making a new account with gmail every time a "cool" user name pops into my head. I gotta stop it though, getting too hard to manage all of these. I'm thinking of limiting it to 2 or 3. 1 for message boards/signups/"register to access" 1 for business contacts...

    What does the statement "honor your parents" mean to you?

    Curious to see. Take care of them when they get older? Thank them for providing for you (if they did)? Buy them gifts? Change your last name so you don't tarnish theirs? etc etc

    Bowden to retire.

    LeBron's "retire 23" was all orchestrated.

    When I heard this, the first thing that came to mind was that he wanted to disassociate himself from Jordan. When Kobe receives comments about comparisons to Jordan, he shows respect for him but has always maintained that he plays his game and doesn't want to be cast in Jordan's shadow...

    Cheap floss sucks.

    Shit starts to tear after slicing 3 gaps, fucking ridiculous. $1.49 for a 2 pack CVS brand is way cheaper than the $4.99 1 pack name brand stuff, but I'll bet that name brand shit doesn't tear apart like a whore's vagina.

    Do you cut your hair when starting a new job?

    At the time of the interview (~1 month ago) I had a curly, poofy hair style. Nobody mentioned it at all. I start on Monday, and my hair has since gotten more poofy. However, this is only if I comb it. After I shower, if I just let it air dry, it's a lot more flat. Should I just roll with...

    Your morning drink?

    Lipton decaf tea with 2 tbsp. of sugar-free-lactose-free french vanilla creamer and 1 tsp. of clover honey. I drink 2-3 cups of this bad boy every morning, but I'll also have it throughout the day. Probably 8 cups altogether. Shit is gooood son.

    What's your firefox theme?

    I'm currently on Foxdie but I also have Classic Compact installed. I like Foxdie because its the Mac look, which I think is nice. I just want it running on the Windows OS. :P Classic Compact is nice because it increases my screen space, and on a laptop this is much appreciated. Plus, it's...

    Is intelligence a trait passed on to each generation?

    If people really wanted a "better world for future generations", wouldn't it make sense to limit procreation to individuals of high intelligence? (How we determine that intelligence is another matter.) I guess it's easy for me to say I would be in favor of this idea, because I don't want kids...

    How do I break my sports addiction?

    If I'm on the internet, I've always got an ESPN tab open. I'll read just about every article on football, soccer, and basketball. That means any breaking news, injuries, blogs, etc. Everything. Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll hit up baseball and hockey, just for something new. I like it...

    Pick the next city to tumble into oblivion.

    Detroit took some time but it's now defunct. What's your guess on the next US city to hit rock bottom? There's no real time table on this, so let's just put the cap at 30 years, i.e. 30 years from now, <insert city here> will be present day Detroit.

    Brandon Jennings is on fire.

    This kid is unbelievable. I can't believe he fell to 10 in the draft. Spending a year in Europe was so good for him, it taught him discipline that I doubt he would have gotten attending college for 1 year. I'm going to be all over the Bucks games this season. Wish I had chosen them on my...

    If you stick a piece of paper under my windshield wipers, I have the right to loiter.

    Edit: I'm going to leave the original spelling so that this thread lives on in fail infamy. ATOT wins again. You stuck your piece of garbage on my property. You had no right to do that in the first place. I'm sure I could find an asshat of a lawyer willing to sue you for vandalism or something...

    After graduating, what did you do with your academic documents?

    Old quizzes, homeworks, lecture notes, exams, finals, etc. Did you keep these? For what purpose? To reference one day? If you're an engineering major, you might keep that stuff in case you encounter something similar at work, and you dig through your documents to find a way to solve something...
