Are you considering buying an electric/hybrid car in the near future?

No. They are overpriced and not cost-effective, even given current oil prices. Hybrids are not really good - too complex and ok if buying new but a total nightmare for used car buyers. Electrics are too new - the battery packs are a big issue - how long are they going to last ? The lithium batteries can only do a limited number of charge cycles and then they have to be renewed. I am going to keep buying small, economical, conventional cars for the next 5 or six years and let other people be the guinea pigs on this one.

Non believers... Could God be a placebo?

I was thinking about that earlier, it seems to me that someone may very well be depressed and on the verge of hurting themselves or someone else... but then they think God finds them and then they start to live a wonderful life... now we know it has nothing to do with God for he is not real... but could the thought that he has found the mislead lead someone to a better life... I have from experience seen a born again Christian become the complete opposite of what he was before he "found" God... he used to hate everyone, kids especially and kill animals for fun... then he apparently found God somewhere on a camping trip... he now loves all and refuses to harm anyone or anything even insects... could it be that God can be a placebo?

Universal oven knob and parts for it?

My cousin has a gas stove with no knob for the oven. I got her a mostly universal knob, the only one Home Depot sells, but the stem the knob goes on isn't long enough to reach the knob. Is there such a thing as an extender for it or should I just return the knob and look elsewhere for another one?

Where did the reduce file option for attachments go in the new yahoo mail version?

the "old" version of yahoo mail used to have this option to automatically (1) reduce or (2) not resize a file attachment, esp. pictures...now it's gone! i don't want to manually reduce my pixes in a separate editor. is there an equivalent way to do this? don't want to use the piknik app..coz u still have to edit each pic one by one online..i want the old feature in yahoo mail that resizes pixes automatically...

Wireless router/modem question...?

Here in my house we have 4 devices that connect with our wireless router. 2 computers, a phone, and an xbox360. I'm on a laptop in the back of the house, about 40 feet from the wireless router, which is right next to the modem. The modem is directly connected to our other desktop computer. When someone gets on the desktop computer and downloads something, anything, my internet connection from the wireless router goes to 0. I have a hard time understanding this because I had also just recently purchased a wireless router extender, so my computer says it has full signal, yet I can't do anything. I don't know much about how all of this stuff works, but I thought the extender would boost the signal and keep this from happening. Is there a way to stop my signal loss? It's really getting old... especially since it's my brother doing it and he usually does it when I'm having to do research for class. Any help is appreciated!

Can I form a tolerance to Diphenhydramine?

I have taken it for a few days and now it's like I am taking a placebo. I feel no effect. Could I have built up a tolerance to it? I am going to try 25 mg of Doxylamine Succinate. I think I make two (25 mg) pills. With a total of 50 mg.
