He almost has a shock absorber. Just need the spring.

While I like dogs the only experience I've had with what I assume is in the pic was not a good experience. If those packages disappeared I'd blame the dog. ;)

I don't know what this extension board is. Troubleshooting involves eliminating everything possible while still having the failure exist. It's my opinion you have not done this. You seem to have done the opposite which is eliminating as little as possible and then making assumptions about what...

You only have one appliance that you get a tingle from and only when it is turned on. My suspicion is that device is faulty. Does it matter if you plug it into mains on different circuits in the house? I know the complexity and size is limited in India so maybe you have only one circuit you are...

I've put as much effort into this as I care to. The claim of 2 billion bird deaths a year in the USA caused by cats is absurd and I've pointed out why. - In jury duty in the US jurors are allowed to dismiss testimony from a specific witness if they consider the testimony to be unbelievable. Not...

I'll agree there is a huge difference in cats when it comes to their ability to survive. I guess nature has probably selected out the poor ones in my case.

Agreed, except the rat part. I've seen a cat take rats out quite easily. That's not to say half grown cats will not exercise caution. Full grown cats in my experience have no trouble. - The thing with rats is that they are generally smart enough to move off the premises if the cats start...

As I often say, you do you and I'll do me. Maybe that's not a familiar thing across the pond. I can tell you this much: Our cats generally have no problem with rats. And I fail to see the concern of a humane way to deal with rats or mice. The preferred method (not mine) to deal with mice in the...

You really did miss the point of my post. What do you suppose the coyotes, etc will eat when the cats are gone? Right now the cats survive on the rodents. Eagles and hawks do too, as well as a cat now and then. Coyotes and fox mostly survive on rabbits, gophers, etc and now and then a cat. With...

Where I come from in the US hawks, bald eagles, coyotes, etc prey on the cats. If the feral and outdoor cats that keep the mice and rats cleaned up leave, I will have something worse. I've read that fox will take a cat but I can't say from experience. Right now the fox are close enough I don't...

Wow. Someone was quite bold to pull a stunt like that. I'm assuming they we're simply swapped. Maybe someone took the car out and smoked them off for entertainment. Either way, not good.

It seems the automotive repair business is filled with shady operators. And not very bright as well. Had a family member bring a vehicle in for work and was told that the spark plugs were original from when the vehicle was new. Her reply was that she was told that the previous time she was there...

As is the 2nd, 4th, and 5th. Typically the 3rd and 5th are higher in amplitude than the even harmonics. I believe I have this right. Feel free to correct me as I would put more faith in your knowledge of RF than pretty much anyone I know these days. - At any rate, this is a challenging project...

I'm pretty sure induction heating is only possible with ferrous metals. I'm not sure if you are in a position to do some plumbing but you can aquire some fittings to adapt your propane torch to go on the end of the appropriate hose connected to a gas grill bottle. You'll have a few dollars...
