    Newegg-like site for parts?

    Hey. I'm looking for a 6 position ATC/ATO fuse block. I've found a few sites selling it but a bunch of them look kinda sketchy. I don't know much about sourcing mechanical parts (this is for a robot, not a car, but I figured this would be the right place to ask). What are some of the more...

    What is the farthest north you have been?

    North - Pond Inlet, Canada (An artificial island in the arctic ocean off the northern coast of Alaska comes in a close second). South - The touristy spot in Key West, Florida. :/ Edit: I forgot about Hawaii, I think that beats Florida.

    Does anyone own any burlap sacks?

    Hey, does anyone have any burlap sacks which they are willing to photograph? If y'all could post pictures of them under a public domain license, that would be great. I'd do it myself, but I lack both the necessary camera and burlap sack. I'd pull pictures off google images, but I need to have a...

    I just watched the movie.

    I just watched the movie after reading the book, and I think the book was way better. The movie totally changed the story, and made the characters different. :confused: I had to stop watching the movie and come back to it a few times to get through it. Neffing begets locking. moderator allisolm

    I'm looking for a good source for bulk tea.

    The tap water here is pretty bad, so I've been drinking a lot for tea recently, and I'm looking for a good source for bulk tea. I've been going through sampler packs, but buying a single variety isn't out of the question. Something that does not go too badly with lemon juice would be great...

    I want to overclock my power.

    Is there any chance I could bump my power up to 90 Hz or so? I think my power is too slow. My TV and computer monitor are taking too long to turn on, and the flicker of lights is annoying. I bet if I overclocked my power, then stuff would turn on faster.

    So.. I have this lawn trimmer.

    So, I have this trimmer. When I start it, it spins, and twirls this synthetic rope-like thing which cuts grass. I have been using my lawn this summer, and the person in the house that owns it moved out of state, and it ran out of gas. From what I can tell, the trimmer takes a mix of gas and oil...

    What is this electronic schematic symbol?

    High school is out for the summer, so I am trying to entertain myself. Yesterday I made a simple audio amplifier the LM386, and now I am trying to make the same circuit, but without the LM386. I am using the connection diagram, which is on the page I linked to, to try to make the replacement for...

    Low Temperature Energy Storage?

    I hope this is highly technical enough. I am thinking about building a solar battery to power an array of high intensity LEDs. It will be somewhat intelligent, and will only switch on the LEDs with the light levels drop below some yet to be determined point, meaning it should charge up during...

    Building Computer, Criticism Wanted

    Anyways, I am stuck right now on a Sempron 2100+ with 256mb of RAM and a PCI video card, so I thought it was about time for an upgrade. Socket 939 looks like it won't be very fun, so I think I am going to go with a dual socket 940 motherboard. That way, I can stick in a pair of dual core...
