  • Making a tazer powered from a wall outlet?

    I have a tazer that I'm using to power a potato gun. It has a small battery inside that I would like to take out and replace with a car battery or a wall outlet. I'm pretty sure that I will need a resistor or two, I'm just not sure how to put it all together.

    Thanks in advance!

  • How long does rebar take to rust through?

    I'm going to weld together a ladder to get down into the well on my property. The base of the ladder will most likely rest in the bottom of the well, where there is several inches of water. If I welded a ladder out of rebar, how long would I have until it rusted through?

  • Incorrect compensation for hours worked?

    I'm a bartender who was incorrectly compensated for wages during my three month time of employment. I was paid 5.69/hr and was promised 10/hr. The money owed is relatively small ~$375, so hiring a lawyer would be somewhat silly.

    It has been six months since I informed them of the inconsistency and three months since I've been promised compensation. The owner is dragging his feet in getting me a check, so I feel that it has escalated to the level of taking legal action.

    What type of letter do I need to send them alerting them of my intentions of bringing them to court, if need be? What does my letter need to contain?

  • Low price full-metal body M4 airsoft rifle?

    I am a US based airsoft player and I'm looking for a full-metal M4 or G36 airsoft rifle to replace my current one. I'm not looking to spend much over $200, but I am firm on the requirement for the metal receiver. I would like to stick with Marui if possible, though they are usually more high end.

    If anyone has a recommendation I would greatly appreciate it.

  • I've just started playing the guitar. What should I be doing?

    I've been playing both the acoustic and electric for a few weeks and believe that I started the wrong way. I tried to learn a song instead of starting with the basics. What should I have been doing instead? Should I be playing certain chords or melodies? I bought a capo and a tuner, and, obviously the guitars is there anything else I should purchase?
