  • California EDD only paid me 1 week instead of 2 without notice. What happened?

    I usually receive 600 dollars every 2 weeks. The last check that just came in this Monday only had 300 dollars with no explication of why it is only half. None of their phone numbers work as they all say we are too busy, try again later.

    Does anyone know if EDD changed to a week by week basis vs the bi weekly I was receiving? I did not run out of funds as i know i have another 2000 dollars in my account with EDD.

    Thank you

  • What electrical parts do i need to turn a electric cable into a USB charger?

    To take an electrical cord plugged into the wall and splice it open and make it a usb charger for an Ipod.

    Outlet []------------110V cord----------[USB]

    (VUSB+5V , D+ 2.0V D- 2.8 V , and a ground) the 4 wires of the USB*

    This should draw about 500 mah. Also, if the device could be designed to not draw power when not being used. What resistors and other components would i need to pull this off. Im guessing the inside of the cable has 2 cables, a positive and a ground. so the positive would have to be slit into 3 wires of +5V,+2V, and +2.8V. Then the Ground to the Ground What resistors and other parts will i need to pull this off? Thanks!

  • Will a 300V minumum Video card damage a 240V PC?

    I have a PC with a 240V power supply. I want to upgrade the video card to a PCIe low profile video card that says it needs a minimum of 300V. Is my 240 set up going to fry , or does it even matter?

    The case is very small and I CANNOT upgrade the power supply without also upgrading the case.(which i do not want to do) The card will run off of the motherboards power without a plug from the power supply.

    I am single, and have no one to claim. If possible, I would like to claim 8 or 10 and keep 100% of my taxes and then pay back what ever I owe at the end of the year. Is there anything wrong or illegal with doing this? Any penalties associated with doing this? Thanks!

  • Trying to find out the name and artist of this spanish painting.?

    I was in the Reina Sofia in Madrid and came across a really cool painting of a man and woman at a dinner table with a dead animal on the table and half decomposed animal busts on the wall and on the other side the skeleton bust of another animal. I think there is also a baby human fetus skeleton on the table as well? It is in the style of José Gutiérrez and it might very well be his painting? Any ideas what it might be called?

  • Why does my pool pump not work so good when I vacuum?

    I have a 30,000 gallon pool and the pump works fine until I vacuum. Once i start to vacuum it will work great for about 15 seconds and then stop working. At this point if I check the trap and it is clear then i will backwash the pool. then the process loops again. The water is not dirty when i backwash but doing that seams to get the suction going again? What is wrong with my pump. Sand Filter pump.
