They still need to be unlocked

Using baking soda a bit of water and some time will also get rid of the corrosion along with neutralizing the acid which tends to come back otherwise.
Just disconnect and remove the battery. Wipe the battery with a paper towel covered in a paste made from baking soda. After, rinse it off with some clean water. Clean and rinse the car’s battery tray and Clamp like you did with the battery. Get a large-ish bowl or dish with some water and. Soak the harness terminals for a few minutes while adding baking soda until it stops fizzing. Get an old toothbrush and scrub the terminal with a baking soda paste. Rinse, re-install everything and you’re done.
It got my harness terminals from a crystallized mess from leaking to looking brand new (seriously) and none an issue for the past 4 years.

The real stuff (the kind that doesn’t leave residue) can get expensive as hell though.

I think ‘uncanny’ would fit better, as certain surfaces would fluoresce despite having no apparent source of light, artifacts, or glaring that you could see.

You are… The computer just became so desensitized to the exit command from people talking about Arch Linux that it started ignoring us.
We’re stuck…
- Comment on What's this thing stuck on my dirty underwear? Is it a piece of undissolved tide pod? 4 weeks ago:
It looks like it. I use gain ones and if I do a cold wash cycle less than 40 (or so) minutes, the casing doesn’t always get fully dissolved.

I’m guessing stuff similar to meth as they are both amphetamines.

It’s also used as a treatment for methanol or antifreeze poisoning.

IMO
We don’t need more people in the world right now. We should be concentrating on figuring out how to agree on having and applying the best support for the ones we already have first.

There are also few sites that let you rent the different sets. My brother’s used NetBricks and it sounded like it could be another option if the buying/selling thing makes it too much.
From what he told me is you pick a set/s online, the kit comes in the mail, build and enjoy it for a bit, then you would tear it down completely when you are bored of it, stuff all of it in a special zip lock bag and send it back for your next set. He told me they go over all the returned pieces to look for damaged/missing parts, “sanitize” (probably just wash them) them, and repackage them for the next renter.

Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.
You need to open up your music tastes…

- Comment on As a novice at soldering, I now have an opinion about single-sided vs. double-sided breadboards 4 months ago:
They’re pretty much the same as a solderless breadboard, in that they have dedicated power/signal rails and multiple rows/groups of bridged pads. They are usually used for a working prototype, as opposed the solderless ones used for initial circuit design/debug on a benchtop.
Here’s a general design with dedicated in/output pads. Image

- Comment on Toast 4 months ago:
I’m guessing the toast thing came around from the possibility of damage to or disturbing the olfactory nerves if there’s increased pressure on them like from the brain swelling (possibly from a concussion) or from bleeding inside the braincase.
It makes sense on paper, but I doubt there would be many times a patient would be conscious at that point.
- Comment on Same thing with "turn that shit down I can't see" 5 months ago:
That’s likely just lacrimal fluid (tears) shifting around in your eye socket. It also may mean too much pressure is being applied and can cause damage to your eye.

Parkinson’s, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.
Apparently him and his wife weren’t satisfied with the Parkinson’s diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.

The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would’ve been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.
While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

- Comment on Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes 5 months ago:
Not yet, at least.
The current tech doesn’t really factor in road conditions AFAIK. Which is a pretty big factor that dictates how brakes should be applied to stop safely.
One example is, if you’re driving along an area with a soft or no shoulder during rain or snow, stopping suddenly could easily make the car slide off the road and end up upside-down or down a cliff. There unfortunately are times where hitting someone/something is unavoidable, along with being the safest option and the decision making capability isn’t fully there yet.
- Comment on my boss hates this one simple trick 5 months ago:
It’s using (B)oron though, not (Br)omine.
The thing though, is that boron would normally be written before chlorine. So, I would guess what is written is just the reagents and not the final product. Maybe boron trichloride? I haven’t taken a chem class in 15 years, so I may be a bit out of touch though.
Also, what looks to be trichloride (Cl[3]) could also be carbon triiodide, if the person didn’t use serifs for the “I”. Though, both don’t really exist outside of reactions AFIK. The handwriting for subscripted “3” also makes it look like a lowercase “I” making it carbon and lithium. But again, a chemical with just a single carbon and lithium atom doesn’t really exist either.
