What gun did David Chapman use to kill John Lennon?
I'm just curious about the specifics of the gun that was used. I know it was a .38 Special made by Charter Arms, but does anyone know anything else, like the model or the year?
2 AnswersHistory6 years agoDo I "last" too long?
Thankfully I last long enough in bed, but I'm worried that I last too long. Masturbating, it takes me anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes to get off depending on the last time I did it, but when I'm doing the real thing, I last almost an hour. Is that too long? I'm worried I'm boring my partner by taking so long to climax.
5 AnswersMen's Health6 years agoTransferring a handgun to someone over 18 but under 21?
I've been on the hunt for a certain pistol that I haven't been able to find in my state (Kentucky), but I've finally found one for the right price in a neighboring state. I'm 19, and I know you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun from an FFL holder, but person I'd be buying from is unlicensed. I also know that it'd have to be shipped to my local FFL dealer first and then I'd have to fill out a 4473, but I was wondering if my local dealer would even be able to complete the transfer being that I'm not 21 yet. Do transfers carry the same restrictions for licensed dealers as purchases?
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics6 years agoHow much would my rates go up if I file a claim with my insurance company concerning an accident?
I m a 19 y.o. male and I had a slight accident a few days ago. I didn t hit anyone or damage anyone s property; I overshot my turn and jumped the curb by mistake. We were considering just paying for the damages out-of-pocket so as not to cause a spike in my insurance, but we got a call from the body shop saying it s going to cost somewhere in the $3200 range, so I m worried we won t have a choice but to file a claim. I have State Farm Insurance, and I live in Kentucky, so I m just wanting to know how much you think my rates would go up if we still go ahead and file a claim with my insurance.
2 AnswersInsurance & Registration7 years agoWhy won't my fluorescent lamp stay lit?
I've got two two-bulb fluorescent lamps wired in series that I've just installed, but one of them is refusing to stay lit. Interestingly enough, when I flip the switch the second one at the end of the series lights and stays lit with absolutely no problems, but the first one will start to light but immediately go out, and after a couple of seconds flash and go out again. The lamps are brand new, and I even bought another lamp of the same make and model just to replace the ballast and it still behaves the same way. I've triple checked all the wiring to make sure it's correct, I've tried disconnecting the other lamp, I've tried using different bulbs, all to no avail. Surely there's no way that I could have bought two defective lamps in a row. I'm absolutely out of ideas; does anyone have any idea as to what's going on?
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoWhy is my smoke alarm going off?
As I'm writing this, my smoke alarm continues to make a beeping sound that I've never heard before. It's making three long beeps, stopping, then couple minutes later it's doing the same thing. I know it isn't the low battery alarm because that is a short beep every minute or so. It's almost 1:00 a.m. as I'm writing this, so I would really like to resolve this ASAP, but is there really anything I can do besides call an electrician? My house has had issues with bad wiring jobs (had a light switch melt because it was arcing).
6 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoHow should I tell my parents I've been suspended?
I'm really at a loss for words right now; my mom has been bugging me about my college plans for next semester, and I've really been thinking about the best way to tell her (and my dad) that I've been suspended. I've tried talking to other people about it, but they are no help because they always assume that I got kicked out because I was partying, doing drugs, or just goofing off. The reality of it was that I was so miserable and emotionally withdrawn while I was there, I couldn't function. There were days were I was so depressed that I didn't leave my bed except to use the bathroom because I didn't feel like even giving life a chance that day. I really don't think college is right for me at this point in my life, but my parents have expected me to go to a big name university and earn all these great degrees since the day I was born. Asking to change colleges is one thing, but I don't know how to tell them I won't even be excepted until I've sat out a semester.
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)7 years agoWhat should I do if my credit score is about to be ruined?
College just seems to be creating more problems for me than creating opportunity. To give you the abridged version of what started all of this, some stuff happened in my first semester and it affected my college life. Now I'm in my second semester, and I've been trying to get over it, but now it's coming back to haunt me all over again. I got an email from the university's financial department a few days ago, and they are claiming that I owe them just under $5000 by the end of the month. I don't know what to do; I only have $10.89 in my bank account right now, I don't have anything I can sell that's worth that much, and I don't want to put this burden on my parents. I'm only 18, and I can't start my financial life with a rock bottom credit score; but what else can I do other than default on my payment? I can't imagine calling them and giving them a sob story will make them any less likely to defer my payments, but I thought they were supposed to be deferred for as long as I was a full-time student. Can anyone please tell me what my options are, because honest just offing myself sounds like the best option right now.
6 AnswersCredit7 years agoShould I drop out of college?
In short, I feel like the only motivation for me staying in college was pressure from my parents to go in the first place, otherwise I would have not even gone in the first place. I've lost all enjoyment of being here, and I don't have any hope for the future. I understand that college isn't supposed to be one big party, but I also know I shouldn't be dreading every day of the week. I'm sick of having to convince myself there's a reason to go to get out of bed in the morning, drag myself to and from class and pretend that I'm happy. At least in some aspects, I'm a good student; I never go to parties, I don't get drunk every weekend and I always at least try to put effort into my schoolwork. I'm a freshman, and I'm in my second semester, but ever since mid-semester last year, I've just been so discouraged. My grades weren't good at all, my teachers seemed like they were too busy to care about me (one of them actually told me "I seriously doubt you'll ever pass this class"), and the stress of having to admit to my parents that I was blowing it was crushing me. Eventually I just stopped going to class because I just couldn't handle it. As a result, I received straight E's for that semester, and I didn't receive any credit hours. This also meant that I was put on academic probation and scheduled as Title IV, otherwise known as an unofficial withdrawal (they assume someone with all E's just walked away from the university without formally withdrawing). This semester I started going to class again because I thought that maybe my situation last semester was just due to the classes, however I just feel like I'm not mature enough yet to take this seriously. I decided to go away for college, and I think the main reason I wanted to do that was, like a lot of teenagers, just to have the chance to get away from my parents and live life like I wanted to. On top of that, I keep thinking about what the future holds for me. I've seen the reports and I've read the articles: the ones that show that over 60% of the Class of 2013 that graduated with a 4 year degree are either unable to get a job or stuck working a job they could have easily gotten without any college education. The studies that show how, recently, people who don't have a STEM degree (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Medical) can't get a job in their field because they are "over qualified" or that "their field isn't in that much demand anymore" scare me into thinking that I might be better off just living the regular 9-5, unskilled labor life. I'm just worried about dropping out because I'm scared my parents will kick me out of the house for "giving up" on something they've expected of me since I was still in the cradle. I don't have a job yet because I didn't think I could balance work and school at the same time, so if my parent's cut me off, I don't know where I'd go. If I do drop out, it won't be permanent; I do want to come back and finish my four years, but only when I feel like I'm ready. I'm perfectly content with just working regular jobs for a few years, I just want to be happy again. If you were in my situation, what would you do?
3 AnswersHigher Education (University +)7 years agoWhat do I need for Day Z?
So, I'm wanting to play Day Z, and I know that you need both Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead, but do I need more to get the Day Z mod to work? On Steam it's telling me that I should buy the Complete Collection "For the best experience (including high detail textures for all models used in the DayZ Mod)...", but I think that's just a sales pitch. Can anyone tell me if I should just bite the bullet and get the Complete Collection or just the basics?
2 AnswersVideo & Online Games8 years agoHow can I make a piano stop playing?
I live in a dorm, and right above my room is the study. Consequently, my room just happens to be right below the piano. Normally this wouldn't be a problem (I love music), but it's gotten to the point where inconsiderate jerks are playing it well past midnight, sometimes as late as 3:30 in the morning. Other than a piece of printer paper asking people not to play past 10:00 p.m., no one seems to care, and the RA's can't be bothered with it. I've politely asked people to stop, but 15 minutes later they go straight back to it. So, I was wondering if there was a way for me to, even if only temporarily, get the piano to stop playing so I can at least get a few nights where I can go to sleep without having to listen to horrible renditions of "A Thousand Miles" at ungodly hours of the morning. Aside from buying a sledge hammer and busting it to pieces, I don't know what else to do. Is there something that I could stick in it that would knock it out of commission for at least a week until they get someone to fix it? Maybe even just something that would stop the hammers from striking the wires. It'd probably have to be something that I could do quickly.
1 AnswerEtiquette8 years agoIs there a permit other than an FFL for people who want to own fully auto weapons in KY?
I want to get into the realm of Class III weapons, but when I look around to check what I would need, the only information I can find is that I have to have an FFL. I don't want to open up a firearms business (which is what I think is necessary for an FFL), but is this my only hope? If it helps any, I live in Kentucky and I've never been in legal trouble (not even a speeding ticket). It seems like I remember reading something about a permit for people in KY who wanted to legally own Class III weapons but didn't want to start a business. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoWhat should I do about my emotionally and verbally abusive dad?
I'm just so lost right now. There have been good times, but all I can seem to remember are the times he's really hurt me. It hasn't been physical for a while, but still all the things he says and does to me really hurts nonetheless. The reason I'm so lost is because I don't know what to do. Believe me, I would leave in an instant (I'm 18) if i had the slightest chance, but i can't; I'm out of a job, my car doesn't really belong to me, and the only money to my name I have to save to go to college. I'm scared if I do anything I won't have a home, but every slander cuts me deeper and deeper (at one point I was seriously contemplating suicide). If anyone could help me at least think of what I should do, I would be immensely grateful to you.
