How to recharge ordinary AA alkaline batteries.

Don't throw away your used batteries! The alkaline ones.
First off, a disclaimer: I am NOT responsible for anything you do.

(You don't do everything someone tells you to do, right? If you do then SEND ME MONEY! lol)

Okay, back to what I'm teaching you. Your kid's toys have batteries. Your digital camera has batteries. Your computer's mouse may even use them.

And they chew through batteries.. I'm here telling you that you don't have to toss them. Yet.

Seriously. They can be recharged multiple times.

Here is how to do it:

1. Get a good battery charger that can charge one single battery at a time.

   FYI, you don't have to charge just a single AA battery at a time, just make sure the charger is capable of it. Some cheaper charging units only charge batteries in pairs of two.. they might work for recharging AA or AAA batteries, but they suck..

2. Get an extension cord so you can put the charger somewhere safe: away from walls, people, pets, carpets, curtains, etc. If the battery leaks or even catches fire, you want it to happen somewhere safe. Like outside on the sidewalk. Away from burning bushes. :/
3. (If you want) put something under the charger to catch the 'juice' that some batteries may leak.
4. Angle or even turn upside the charger so battery juices can leak out of it, and not sit inside the unit itself. (I use ceramic or plastic bowls.)

   *At the moment, you may be thinking I don't want batteries leaking all over the place?! Only about half of the AA alkaline batteries that I've recharged have started leaking after they pop (a built-in safety feature of modern batteries, btw). But those ones also have the best voltage after they've leaked! (I have no idea why..). Wipe off the juice and let the battery 'dry'. My belief is these are overcharged.

5. Put the batteries in the charger.
6. Set the charger to the slowest rate possible. (If your unit has that option.)
7. Plug in the charger.
8. Start the charger. (If your unit has that option.)
9. Monitor the batteries. Look for leaks, heat, bulging,etc..

   I have not thoroughly tested the charging of AA alkaline batteries, but a good 4 hours always seems to be plenty with this charger.

10. Save money !

*Disclaimer: This method does not work well if you burn your house down. Results may vary.

Sexist

Giving a doll house to your daughter is NOT sexist.
Telling your daughter she CANNOT own a house because she is a female IS sexist.

I wish the narrow minded people would learn the difference.

Human Rights

I'll defend to the death my right to be me and you you.

Life Protip: Sharp Combs

Ever buy a comb that has sharp teeth?

Here is a quick and easy way to round the edges.

Turn your stove-top up to somewhere between medium and high.. different plastics have different melting temperatures so you'll have to closely observe the process.

A few inches above the hot heater plate, slowly move the comb about with the teeth pointed towards the heat source.

VERY carefully observe for teeth-edges to start rounding, and when it 'looks right' to you, pull the comb away from the heat source.

Don't touch any hot spots until they cool down! And good luck!

Fix for Reddit threads loading slow or taking forever to load

Here are the 3 steps to 'fix' Windows 7 and Windows XP to help the threads on Reddit.com that are slow to load or display.
( Chrome shows in the lower left status that it is waiting on "pixel.redditmedia.com". )

1. To find your computer's "hosts" file ( usually located at "%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.". ) just press Windows+R to open the run dialog and paste in the uri I've shown you.
2. Open the host file in Notepad or Notepad++. ( Good practice is to copy the current hosts file to a backup before you make any changes! )
3. Insert a new line with the following: "127.0.0.1 pixel.redditmedia.com".

This line tells your browser to request any files from "pixel.redditmedia.com" to instead request them from your computer. This forced 'error' is a lot faster than waiting 30+ seconds for each thread to load.

When Reddit finally fixes their end, you can remove or comment the line you added to the hosts file.

Good Luck!

Bad Truths

I'm in shock about the shootings over in Connecticut. I just can't believe someone could kill a child let alone 20 of them..

so many people in real life and on the internet need to stop spouting political 'solutions' about how to prevent these shootings with gun control laws.

People need protection, the cops can't be around 24/7. A gun can. They do. Both save lives every day.
Bad guys, by definition, will not obey 'gun control' laws. I mean, think about it: their intention is to hurt someone. And that is already clearly defined as illegal with severe punishments

We they need to do, what we ALL in the whole world need to do is start telling the truth about EVERYTHING.

Seriously, it's the only way to enlightenment. The path out from poverty, the dreary rage-filled trudge away from war. And truth is the cure for the sneakiest of evils: corruption.

God bless, be well.

AI Rights

A sentient AI will be a child of humanity, and should inherit the relevant human rights, unless it violates basic human morality and ethics.

Basically, if you can punish a machine for murder, then it had rights previous to the murder. Otherwise it is just a machine, a tool.. of another human.

Associations

I just opened a fresh can of Frito Lay's Bean Dip. There was a bit o' dip on the lid and as I licked it clean, the thought "Mmm, tastes like Buck Rogers" came to my mind.

Now, you see this thought happened because the last time I had some bean dip was while watching the tv show Buck Rogers ( with my wife beside me ), and it was overall a good experience.

Now.. I ask you: what thought came to your mind hearing/reading the phrase "tastes like Buck Rogers"?

Thinking about Abortion?

Abortion doesn't make you unpregnant.
It makes you the parent of a dead child.

Don't f!@# with Ewoks.

Teddy bears who walk around their whole lives armed. They hunt every day to eat. They riddle their territory with booby traps and live in impenetrable tree fortresses. They capture beings twice their size and immediately begin preparations to roast them alive. They keep the heads of their enemies and use them for xylophones.

Don't fuck with Ewoks.
