Exhaust smells like gas and blows out smoke.?
So my Toyota recently has been having oil issues where it would loose oil at a quick pace. Recently a mechanic has said it had something to do with a small leak and it wasn't too much of a concern. I drove it 200 miles yesterday full of oil and now when I turned it on it kicked out a lot of exhaust which smelled like gas. After I turned it off I check the oil and it was below the minimum line. Any ideas what it could be?
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoUsing data from a SQL server using Javascript?
So I'm trying to display the color of an element depending on a variable in an sql database. I'm split on either pulling the data using PHP into a textbox or trying to use AJAX to pull the data later and by doing that I'm not sure whether to use Ajax or JQuery Ajax, thanks!
1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoGood host for hosting a web server?
I need to build a backend that will handle GET and POST calls fairly frequently. A friend recommended EC2 but I can't seem to get mysql working on the linux instance I installed. Also I have no idea how much I'm getting billed or if the instance I launched was considered to be part of the "free" tier or not. I'm thinking about just using a web host for now then switching over to something else if we need to scale.

1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoEx-gf started talking and flirting with me over Winter Break but now seems distant.?
So my exgf[21] and I[20] dated for about 9 months last year then she broke things off over the summer. I tried doing no Contact which killed me to do but still remained friendly to her whenever we saw each other. Then I heard she dated a few other guys which killed me but still never lost my cool whenever she was around.
Over winter break she broke no contact wishing me a merry Christmas and she just started talking to me again. I never initiated any of our conversations but she me if I was ok with us talking again and I said sure since I thought I had myself under control and really wanted to be friends. Then we started talking between 2-4 hours a day and went over why she ended the relationship. It was like we were dating again and I was tempted to remind her that we weren't. She asked if I was dating anyone and she made it clear she wasn't. Also she mentioned that seeing me during the last semester caused her pain which made her avoid me whenever possible. Then a few days before I went back I got a bunch of I miss you texts which kind of caught me really off guard. She mentioned how she wanted me to save her a dance at an upcoming dance and that we'd be spending a lot of time together over the summer if I stayed for summer classes.
When I got back she made me dinner and invited myself and a bunch of friends out rock climbing with her. We also hung out a few times but our talking kind of slowed and now we havn't talked in 3 days. I'm worried I was just being used as someone to talk to when she was bored which is driving me insane. I plan to talk to her this weekend about what she meant over winter break and tell her to never do this to me again if she doesn't have any intention. What do you think she's doing?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoJavascript convert to Hex?
This is the current function that I'm using to convert the values
function componentToHex(c) {
var hex = c.toString(16);
return hex.length == 1 ? "0" + hex : hex;
}
The value before the toString(16) is the exact same as the output. I've run tests on toString(16) and had it output the correct values before but now it just won't seem to work.
