Why do shampoo bottles have directions on how to wash your hair? Aside from babies who can't read anyway the odds gotta be pretty low that someone who happens to have a bottle at hand doesn't know how to wash their hair!
 
I have a GIF request. If I had it before, I must've lost it.

Basically the GIF is a clip from Little Rascals. It's shot from inside the kid's taxi cab, and as it's going down the hill, a security device (a boxing glove) is constantly punching public workers in the face.

I don't expect much but it would be nice if a GIF collector had this one.
 
Do you guys see any number in this picture? I don´t see anything.

That´s the correct answer. Interesting, i thought i was tricked and there was no number to be seen :p.
I guess you'll have to give up your dreams of becoming a fighter pilot now. :( btw Anyone know the movie I'm sort of referencing? It was a slice of life type movie where this family or whatever was going on a long car ride for some reason. There were two kids, one emo goth hating the world type kid and his little sister (who was entering some pageant I believe?) and the goth kid had this booklet on becoming a (fighter?) pilot. It had the color blind test with the numbers and stuff but he couldn't see them. So his dreams were shattered and started to throw a hissy fit.

Little miss sunshine. great movie.

I'm colorblind, but I could see the number a bit. A fun story. My high school art teacher swore up and down that humans couldn't really be colorblind. I had to bring in an encyclopedia with a test pic like that in it to prove it to her. I wonder how many kids she brow beated and gave lower marks to for being afflicted with colorblindness.

There are a lot of incredibly stupid people in this world and shampoo makers need to cover their own asses in case you do something idiotic like brush your teeth with the stuff and poison yourself through accidental swallowing.
 
I've recently been receiving some SMS spam on my phone: texts from random numbers telling me I won a contest or how to get rick quick. This pisses me off because I'm paying per text (I use a Google Voice number for most texting.) Is there a way I can put a stop to this or forcibly get myself off these lists?

Blocking SMS Spam Using Google Voice

If you are a Google Voice user, you can block spammers directly from within Voice by simply logging into the web panel and clicking the “Report Spam” button for any message you want.

Google Play also has blocking apps for SMS spam and apps to detect if any of these notification ads are connected to any installed apps (such as "Addons Detector").

Hope this helps.
 
Can I put a microwave on top of a small wood shelf? Will it damage the painiting (the shelf is black) or something?
As long as the shelf can support the weight, it should be fine. Aside from having enough space for ventilation, microwaves shouldn't require any special treatment.

So long as the shelf is robust enough to hold the weight of the oven, and you don't drag the oven's feet across the shelf and scrape it, there's no risk of damage to either.

Ah ok, thanks. I was more worried about the heat than anything. (thanks t-ramp)
 
If I want to go to Chuck E Cheese's by myself as a 26 year old man will they call the police or can I play in the ball pit beause its a free country?

Edit: The problem was actually a chrome extension interfering with YouTube.

That popup thing? There should be a button to say that you don't want to do that. Or else reload the page and it should go away for the time being.

No there are no buttons this time. I've had that pop up before a couple of months ago and it let me skip it but not this time.Edit: The problem was actually a chrome extension interfering with Youtube.

Another question, why do you guys think that watching Youtube videos in a small 480p window is slow yet it doesn't lag when watching them in 780p or 1080p in fullscreen?

That doesn't even make sense.

Not this one but it's similar.

If you were to say pound-for-pound, what US Federal Agency has the most "Top Secret" info?

Or in general terms, what agency would MOST LIKELY have the documents/files on all the secret projects, fucked up shit, and Cold War era espionage and findings, that the public and most of the executive branch would have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about, even with speculation, unless told?

CIA?

DoD?

NSA?
 
I'm trying to remember a toy line from the 90's, or could be from the 80's. All I remember is objects like a canteen and a military flash light (the kind that looks like an upside down L) that I think would turn into something else? But I can't remember what. They either turned into something like a small base with little figures inside, similar to Mighty Max, or they turned in other objects.

Do you mean Army Gear by Galoob?

My question:



Is it actually illegal for a man to go into a ladies public restroom or vice versa? Or is it just social convention. Arguing with a friend after she went to the men's room because of the line at the ladies room.
 
I have a Lumia 610. The photos tile sometimes shows pics I've taken, even though I've deleted those pictures. Is there a way to stop this?
 
can someone link me to the Louis CK video of an old standup he did where he was he was quite drunk/high (apparently he doesn't even remember it) and made a few rather tasteless/terrible jokes he never used since?
 
I need a new HBO show to get addicted to. What should it be? The shows I'm considering ...

Girls
Treme
Newsroom
Veep

(I've seen all the other major shows like The Wire, Carnivale, Rome, BoB, Pacific, Deadwood, GoT, True Blood, etc etc)
 
How do I go about getting help from Nvidia?

Their latest drivers (last 3 if I recall) all cause very visible flickering and I can't seem to get a link to contact them about it. The only link I can find is the bug reporting and you don't get any reply from that.

Also, the ask a question options are all shop/hardware related.
 
Is 55 years old something commonly celebrated? Mom just turned it the other day.
Yes, I totally forgot and just realized it five days too late...
 
How can I force Facebook to let me change (or have them change) my username/facebook page address? I'm currently stuck with my real name as my address even though my Facebook name is fake, and apparently you can't change it through the account settings. At least I can't.
 
I am in my final year studying Biomedical Sciences in the UK. I haven't done a placement year so I wont be HPC registered when I leave. I have been looking for trainee biomed scientist positions in the NHS but I cant find any in the areas I am looking at, is an MLA job in path lab a suitable way to get onto the ladder or should I focus on a trainee position.

I am kinda wondering if anyone knows whether NHS hospitals can hire MLA staff internally for trainee biomed scientist positions, and where my portfolio work comes into this.
 
Is there a way to turn off recommended videos on youtube? No matter what I watch for some reason there's a load of stupid conspiracy/illuminati bullshit on the side. Plus I already had a game spoiled for me because of it.
 
Okay, I'm trying to help out a friend with a banner for a mailing she wants to send out for her webshop. I've made it in photoshop, 500 by 500 pixels. The program she uses for making an e-mail template for some reason only works with .gif (although it is a still image). I can't get the file under 150 kb which is a bit heavy for a mail I think. I can decrease image quality in Photoshop with jpg but with .gif, it stays 150 kb. How do I make a .gif lighter/less kb?
