    Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

    They still have those all over the place in Finland in the public bathrooms. I've never actually seen one in the US.

    I Am Asexual

    If y'all want to go debate about the definition of sexual attraction and how it all works then everyone's free to do so in the site that was linked in the first post of this thread. There's much more information there than any of us can put in one post here.

    I Am Asexual

    I'd just like to say that lack of sexual attraction and having sexual behavior aren't the same thing. The definition of asexual, the orientation, is a lack of sexual attraction. You can have all the sex drive in the world and not be sexually attracted to people. There's plenty of asexuals who...

    Anyone know what this remote is for?

    Ipod shuffles don't have the menu button. Can't have much of a menu on an ipod with no screen.

    Harry potter misprint help

    I've seen multiple books before with the off center cover, both Harry Potter and others. Of the ones I've seen the opposing cover is cut flush with the paper, so it looks like it was done on purpose. Either that or it's just a common mistake.

    Aphid attack

    They're able to pierce areas of the bark to get at the sap carrying cells underneath. They usually don't do a whole lot of damage to mature trees, but the honeydew they secrete can cause sooty mold to grow and attract all those bees and ants looking for some free sugar.

    Aphid attack

    The aphids are most likely a species in the genus Cinara. Black, long legged, and they feed on conifers.

    Aphid attack

    Wash the aphids off with a garden hose and treat with insecticidal soap if need be.

    Finally, an electric car worth buying?

    Not sure if you were thinking that was a smartcar or not, but I've seen a lot of people post that or similar pictures and call it one. The crushed car there's a VW Crossfox, not full sized by any means, but it's not a tiny eggshell either. That tractor looks pretty banged up underneath, I think...

    Strange tastes in food?

    Buttermilk mixed with orange juice. Everyone in my house thinks it's nasty, I think it tastes like orange yogurt.

    Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

    We had an older McDonalds nearby here a few years ago. They tore it down and built a new one in that original style.

    Amazing gift from a dear Canadian friend...(old records content)

    Check out tag sales. I collected random records for years without having something to play them on, until I finally happened upon a decent record player system at a church rummage sale for $5. Someone had already bought the speakers separately so I got the player itself for a good price.

    Why do people cut off semi trucks?

    People probably think the trucks are just too slow and feel stuck behind them. I personally don't like driving right next to or behind a large truck, but I'll change lanes if I can to keep some distance. If I pull back in front of the same truck (or any vehicle), I give plenty of space and make...
