The old one has a rating of 10 A, 250V. I found one from another adapter listed at 10A, 125V.

What will happen if i plug my computer in through the adapter with this other cable?

The adapter says on it the input is 100-240V 2.25 A

Will this AC adapter cable be ok with this adapter?

I have an AC adapter for a computer that needs a new cable to go from the brick to the wall. The old one has a rating of 10 A, 250V. I found one from another adapter listed at 10A, 125V. What will happen if i plug my computer in through the adapter with this other cable?

I live in Canada and I travel to the USA a couple times a week. The price of gas in the US is roughly 25% cheaper so that is where I always fuel up. There is a gas station I always go to because they take Canadian dollars as if they were worth 97% of an american dollar, when the exchange rate is more like 90%. I always pay with Canadian dollars instead of using my credit card. My girlfriend fueled up the other day and used American dollars and I said she was crazy because they were taking Canadian as if it was worth more than it is, but she said since a canadian dollar was worth less she'd be losing money even with the good deal. Who is right?

You have 1000 American dollars and 1000 Canadian dollars to spend, should you pay with Canadian at the overvalued price of 0.97 CAD/US or use your american?

My girlfriend tells me that when I say no to her advances or don't show her the affection it makes her urges to cheat or seek stuff outside of the relationship stronger.

We have been having problems for months now, ever since she found out that I am not sexually attracted to her. She is someone I want to spend the rest of my life with but when she tells me she has urges to cheat it hurts me and makes me trust her less. Is her saying she feels like cheating when I do certain things helpful or damaging to our relationship? She says she has to be honest and that is healthy but it just stresses me out and makes me want to push her away.

At what point do you make enough money, or have enough saved, that you can afford to give some of what you have to those in extreme poverty? I live in Canada and earn 22,000 a year and my family has about 15,000 dollars in the bank. We both fully own our vehicles and both are under 6 years of age.

I am sure a lot of people would say I was in no position to give significantly to charity, because they are comparing me to the developed world average. According to the website http://www.globalrichlist.com/ my income puts me in the top 6% of everyone in the world, and by wealth my family would be in the top 20%.

Add to that the fact that I have relatively wealthy parents who would help me out if I needed to buy a new vehicle so I could avoid 1000-2000 dollars in interest or similarly help me out if I was in significant credit card debt due to unexpected calamity and I am left feeling like I have a moral obligation, as does almost everyone in the developed world, to give some of what I have to help those living on 1 dollar a day get food security, become literate, and get decent medical care.

What do you think? If a person is trying to be as financially secure as possible, provide as much as they can for their kids I feel like there is hardly any limit to what they'll think needs saving. As an example my parents spent most of his life saving for retirement and disaster and to his credit is probably worth about 1 million dollars.

About 4 months ago my girlfriend's mother passed away. My job gave me 4 days off but I had to demand for another 4 so I could stay with her between the death and the funeral. This occurred a 6 hour drive from home and my employer was PISSED to say the least. I thought I'd be fired, but they just severely reprimanded me.

For the Christmas holidays I was given Dec 23 - Jan 1 off, but then a very bad ice storm cut power in 50,000 homes in the area and nbpower booked all the rooms at the hotel I work at and on Dec 26 I got a call I was needed back at work THAT NIGHT even though I was 3 hours away visiting with family.

My girlfriend was struggling, this being her first Christmas without her mother, and I was highly disappointed I was losing the chance to see my sisters and grandparents as they both live far away and this is one of the few times a year I can see them. In the end I told work I could only come back if they agreed to give me the same amount of time off as unpaid vacation at some point during the year. They said no. I said I wouldn't come back then. A few days later after a couple hard conversations with my girlfriend I called back and said I would work Dec 30, 31, and Jan 1st even though it was hard for my girlfriend to accept. They said not to come back till January 2nd, and I found out the reason was all my coworkers are furious I didn't come back when asked.

It's a small business and because of my choice 4 people had to work 40 hours a week when only 2 of them expected to be working. I felt like I had to either choose to please my boss and coworkers or betray my girlfriend and lose her respect. She felt this was a time of great need on her part because she's still grieving her mother's death and feels she expected me to be there for her and needed me.

What would you have done? The job doesn't pay well, but it is full time and I enjoy it a lot and have been there 5 years.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 2.5 years now. I'm finally moving in with her in a week and a half, after a year of my wanting to and her resistance. She's got two kids who I get along with famously, and I love them all and consider them family, but there are issues.

First of all she has mental health problems, as do I, and this causes us to not get along sometimes but we ussually do a good job of patching things up in the end. The last 2 weeks have been extremely difficult though. I look at internet porn and can't seem to stop, and this has been a thorn in the relationship since the start because it affects our sex life tremendously. If I look at porn every day I have very little desire for sex.

Well a few days ago she found out I had looked at porn again for the millionth time I said I wouldn't the day before we were to be intimate and she exploded. She said as always that it makes her feel unattractive and undesireable for me to go outside the relationship all the time. She said if I didn't stop she was going to have to start going outside the relationship for satisfaction. I said porn is ok, as i always do, but she said it had to be phone sex or webcamming with someone, so definitely "cheating" in my book. I've told her that if she did that it would devastate me and possibly ruin the relationship for good, and she said it is going to happen if I can't control myself.

Obviously the possibility that our relationship will end upsets me greatly because they are my "family" now and have been for years, but I don't know how to stop. It's a coping mechanism when I feel unhappy/stressed and I just have been used to fulfilling that need in a timely manner like it was hunger or thirst since I started being sexually active.

What makes this fight worse is just a week prior she was on my computer and say me complaining about having to pay for something I ate of hers I didn't think I should have to considering I pay her to pick me up groceries and had I not eatten that I would have eatten something else. I didn't know it was off limits and I felt getting another one for her should be enough, but that I shouldn't have to pay for it. She got so upset she came over to my house, banged on my window till I woke up, and yelled at me for 30 minutes. I refused to back down and agree it was reasonable that I paid for it, and she said well maybe I shouldn't move in then. Of course this really upset me as we've been telling her kids for a weeks I'm moving in and I've been waiting for years. To not let me move in over something so trivial(which she views as me not letting her have her own stuff) seemed crazy.

After asking people what they thought of how she acts towards me I frequently get the response that I should find someone else because clearly she has issues, but that just isn't an option I'm willing to consider.

I guess what I want to know is what should I do about my inability to stop looking at porn? What should I do about her instability and how it makes me feel? I just feel really unhappy lately, like nothing I do is right or good enough and that she'll keep acting like we are on the brink of breaking up time and time again forever. She does make me happy most of the time, and most of the time it is worth it, but as I said, the last 2 weeks have been worse than usual.

I live in New Brunswick Canada and my girlfriend of 2 years has just had her mother die. The difficult part is her mother lives 9-10 hours from where we live. I got 2 extra days off this week to see her on her deathbed, and now that she's dead I asked for another 4 days off so I could attend her funeral to support my girlfriend but was told it could not be accomidated.

What would you do?

I think the law in my province is legally I'm owed 5 days of bereavement starting on the funeral day. I guess this means if I went home now, and drove back again on sunday night legally I'm owed 5 days starting monday. However they have already given me 2 extra because of her being very ill so a court might say only 3 more are owed.

I'm not sure a girlfriend's mother counts as family. Not that my boss knows this but I wasn't close to her and really I just wanted to be here to support my girlfriend who's basically lost her last family member and is beside herself. I feel like if I leave her I am not being a man, and yet I've had this job for 4 years. It's a job I love, and though it doesn't pay well and requires a long commute it's probably as close to ideal as you can get.

I ask this because my girlfriend's mother is dying and we are at the hospital a lot the last few days. She's deteriorating, has kidney failure, isn't eatting or drinking, and isn't able to talk or communicate. I just wondered what most people do in these situations. Do you stay up for days on end or try to sleep in the hospital room, or do you just go home each day to sleep for 8 hours and come back. My girlfriend says she'd be devastated if we were home, or going for a walk when she passed, but hospital staff say that often loved ones do pass while they are alone, either by chance or on purpose.

What would you do if you mother/father/sister/brother was in the hospital dying?

I have been on zyprexa(olanzapine) for over 5 years now, and it reportedly has strong side effects on weight gain. At times I have tried to get off of it, without much success. Now I'm trying to diet but the fact that it makes me hungrier is getting in the way. The medication "may" be responsible for about 30-40 of my extra pounds. Anyone with experience on this med have any advice?

Imagine if the entire universe was a computer simulation in a supercomputer of some advanced race of beings. Our minds are just lines of code. The person we think of as god, who created the universe from nothing and can alter physics is just the computer programmer in charge of the supercomputer. Would you feel unhappy or would it even matter? Regardless, every person you talk to is still the same "type of being" that you are.

I bring this up because it is becoming concievable that if computers keep doubling in power we will be able to create computers powerful enough to house a mind compareable to our own, and then after a few more decades it is concievable we could create a supercomputer as "intelligent" as all the people on earth combined. If that were to come to pass, then it should follow that we could create a simulation of billions of self aware beings in a 3D environment like the sims, and see how they cope and grow and learn.

When it comes to global warming I feel like there is a lot of misinformation floating around, on both sides of the aisle. For example people were making a big deal out of there being a lake at the north pole this summer, but there has been a lake at the north pole at some point every year since 2003. Back in 1959 a US submarine found holes in the ice which it surfaced through, and at other points found the ice to be 2-3 feet thick making it possible to bust through. The same is true of 1987. Open bodies of water are not new at the north pole. People need to research things before they proclaim their significance.

On the other side of the aisle I have seen people post again and again the graph showing there to be minimal global warming between 1940 and 1970 as if it is evidence of us all being misled by scientists. If you pick and choose which data to look at, you can almost always prove your point, especially when you narrow your focus and ignore 90% of the date.

I just saw another article on nbc website talking about this poor polar bear that died of starvation and how it was showing what global warming was doing, and that the polar bear population would soon be gone. It completely disregarded that recent data shows definitively that the polar bear population has not decreased significantly like scientists predicted it might in 2004, in fact it hasn't decreased at all.

Now I personally am very confident that we are causing global warming and it needs to be averted, but I am asking everyone on both sides to PLEASE research all the evidence before you claim it is yet again reinforcing your pre existing beliefs. You are doing no one any favors by skewing the evidence or posting on facebook and twitter that the world is coming to an end based on one seemingly bad incident.

Why do you think people all around the world cling to bad evidence without researching the other side when it comes to issues like global warming?

If you put a glass of water in the freezer and it froze completely, and you put that glass of frozen ice in a pitcher of water, would it absorb heat faster than if I just had a glass of ice cubes with water and put IT in a pitcher of glass. Assume the glass has a lid as well, so it cannot mix with the pitcher.

Important that the question relates to the speed of the transfer. Assume that I have the ability to replace the glass with another if the one with ice+water melted completely.

I sometimes ask people why they believe the bible is the word of god, why they believe there is a god, and the hardest thing to argue with is their personal "feelings" or "experience" that god exists. Maybe god whispered something to them. Maybe god just gave them a feeling inside. Maybe god appeared in a dream.

What I don't get is.....if that personal experience is evidence enough you are basically saying your personal emotional state/mental state is "good" evidence of the supernatural. If that was true, why are there muslims and jews who claim they also have had experiences that could only be explained by their god having affected them emotionally or mentally.

Why are your personal experiences evidence for your god, but other people's personal experiences that point to a different god being real are not valid?

There are people who believe wholeheartedly that pyschics can see the future, or that they can divine for water, or that voodoo works, or that astrology and the movement of the planets has some vital significance for individual people's destinies. I imagine many would say they believe it because they feel it to be true, because something has happened they feel cannot be explained, or because their emotional/mental state somehow altered in a way that could not happen naturally.
