Hilary :] asked:

My computer is off, and we disconnected the external hard drive. It is currently in my garage. I have it near a power outlet, but can’t find the right cord for it :[! I can’t get ahold of my dad either for help. There is an important disk in one of the local disk C that I need to get out. How can I get open without power? Can I use tools, like a screwdriver, or something? Please help :[[[

I live in Missouri and was wanting to give my dad a new chainsaw or drill for his birthday.

Addy asked:


Hey everybody,
I just turned 13 and I asked my dad when I would be allowed to use tools such as an angle grinder or other such tools (in other words, non-hand tools) without supervision. He said he wasn’t sure and now I’m asking you guys out there.
What would be the correct age to start using power-tools?

Thanks, Addy.

Inherited a set of Bosch power tools from my dad, I can’t seem to lock drill bits on to the tool. Any clues?

TUBBY asked:


First of all, I’m 24, so I’m not just an angry teenager. Second, let me explain a little of the story to you. My mom divorced my dad when I was 20 b/c she was “bored”. So she met “Gary” on the internet and after 2 weeks, moved him in with her and within 6 months they were married. My mom is fairly well-to-do, she owns a bridal business so she does quite well. Gary moved in with her with nothing but the shirt on his back. They have been married for 1 year now and she has bought him a new car, a hottub, tools, clothes….you name it. My problem with Gary is he drinks all the time, he puts her down constantly, and he spends her money like she is a bank. My mother and I have recently invested in a property and we are building a wedding chapel. Gary thought he would help and lead the construction on the building. The original budget was $30K, but he has spend $75K of my mothers money. And when he runs out of booze, he becomes a complete as.s!! How do I tell her that I HATE him!?
Not to mention my mother is always putting my husband down, calling him lazy and whatnot, when her husband is a drunk as.shole!!

lewis18t asked:

I work in the construction field and have to use same hand tools etc… He picks at the herpes on his face during the day, and does not wash his hands between. I have told him to please stop but it’s a bad habit of his that he will not stop, even if he has to do it out of sight. He does not attend to his herpes what so ever. I have read that he should not touch. Is there anything I should tell my dad who also employees him? I just want to make sure I take appropriate precautions to avoiding any harm.

Copenhagen ring asked:


I was talking to my ex a while ago and it just popped into my head on weather i should appologize for saying what i said or weather she was in the wrong. We were talking and the subject of school came up and how she’s going to a university and i’m going to a community college. and she was bragging about how the university is so much better and i said yea it’s more expensive too. and she said but i’ll make more money in 2 months than you will in a year. and i asked how she figured that and she said because she’s going to be a sports marketer and i’m going to be nothing more than a mechanic. and i said yea but i’ll be needed. and she said no you’ll never be needed. now then last time i checked a mechanic will always be needed since we’re always going to have cars. and i said well you schoolings going to be more expensive and 75% of my money is going into my tools. she said “well i can afford to go to a university and you can’t”. so i said no comment. she told me i was still a jerk and she got all pissed and signed off. now then before we go any further the reason i said no comment is because she isn’t paying for her schooling like i am. her dad owns a construction business and she ain’t paying a dime to go to school. that’s why i said no comment. so the way i see it she can’t afford a university her dad can. anyway am i the jerk in the conversation for saying no comment after listening to all her bs or is she in the wrong?

John D. asked:


We have an old car my dad is trying to fix and it is from 1989. I know next to nothing about automobiles. I want to read more about this subject. Are there any good user-friendly websites to read about auto-repair that would help us both out.
