If the corn cobs have thick layers of husks attached, peel off the first few layers, leaving only a few left to protect the corn and prevent it from burning. Fill a large pot with cold water and dunk the cobs of corn inside. Make sure that the corn is completely covered with water. If the cobs of corn float, turn them occasionally to make sure that all sides get exposed to water. The water provides extra moisture, which prevents the corn from drying out as it gets grilled. You should let the corn soak for a minimum of 15 minutes, but it can sit in the water up to 3 hours. The grill should reach medium heat. If using a grill with a thermometer, allow the grill to reach roughly 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). After it has soaked, pull the corn out of the water and shake off excess water. Pull the husks back to expose the top half of the corn, but do not remove the husks completely. After exposing the corn, pull away the silky threads from the side by grasping them and yanking them up. You can use melted butter or olive oil. Roughly 1 Tbsp (15 ml) per cob should be sufficient. Position it so that it sits on direct heat. Allow it to sit on the grill for 30 to 60 seconds on each side in order to brown but not burn. Rotate as necessary to prevent the corn from burning. This can either be the side of your grill or along a top shelf. Close the cover and allow the corn to cook for 15 minutes. The kernels will also pull away slightly from the tip of the cob. If the corn begins to bend in your hands or if the kernels feel soft and mushy, it has cooked too long. Use tongs and oven mitts to prevent yourself from getting burned. Grab the uncovered portion of the corn cob with one hand, using an oven mitt or clean dish towel to prevent yourself from getting burned. Peel the remaining husks off and pick off the remaining silk threads. Rinse the corn under warm, running water to remove any ash that has fallen onto the cob.

TL;DR in Russian:

Очистите большую часть шелухи (но не всю). Замочите кукурузу. Разогрейте гриль, пока кукуруза размокает. Частично снимите шелуху с початков. Уберите шелковистые волокна. Смажьте зерна сливочным маслом. Положите кукурузу на разогретый гриль. Передвиньте кукурузу так, чтобы она готовилась на непрямом огне. Снимайте кукурузу, как только шелуха потемнеет, и зерна станут легко счищаться с верхушки початка. Очистите початок.


If the crack or chip in your tooth was slight, the dentist might opt to contour it. This involves shaving down and polishing the crack to make it smoother and unable to cause any cuts or abrasions. This is a simple fix that should involve minimal pain and only one visit to the dentist. If the crack has left an opening in your tooth, then your dentist will probably choose to fill it in like a cavity. This involves using a filling material -- usually silver amalgam or plastic -- to fix the crack in the tooth. The filling will prevent anything from getting stuck in the hole and will keep it from getting bigger. If the crack is large enough, the dentist may have to use a crown to repair the tooth. These are usually made of metal or ceramic, and designed to mimic the appearance and strength of a tooth. If the tooth has been badly damaged and the nerve or pulp is exposed, the dentist may have to perform a root canal to save the tooth. The dentist will thoroughly clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth to prevent infection and hopefully this can prevent extraction of the tooth. If you have a root canal, the dentist may also place a crown on the tooth afterwards to protect it. If the tooth has been severely damaged, it may have to be extracted. This is usually done when the crack in the tooth extends below the gum line and can't be reached for repair. To relieve your pain and prevent a severe infection, the best option here is to remove the tooth completely. When you have a tooth extracted, ask your dentist what your options are for replacing the extracted tooth.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оконтуривание зуба. Пломбирование трещины. Коронка. Лечение корневого канала. Удаление зуба.


If the cushions feel too soft, then you may need to add more filling. Open up the individual cushion cover and remove the insides. This is a good opportunity to wash the cushion covers. Batting is fabric used in upholstery to give the cushions a smooth appearance. It is usually made of cotton or wool, but can also be a blend of materials, including polyester. If the foam has noticeable dents in it, you may need to replace the entire cushion. If the batting is worn, but the foam is fine, you can get by with just replacing the batting. Determine what needs to be replaced in your cushions. You can buy both foam and batting online or at an upholstery supply store.  You can also stuff your couch cushions with a different material if you prefer. You don't have to use foam. Instead you can find cotton, down, even old clothing if you wanted to. The material you use will affect the softness of the couch. Make sure you like the firmness before you stuff every cushion. Consider the durability of your materials. Some materials may not hold up well, but foam padding could last you for years to come. Make sure to use "sheets" of batting. Cut to the seat size, and wrap the cushions a few layers thick. Remember to smooth it over, otherwise you may create a lumpy seat. Once you've repaired your cushions you can place them back in their covers. Sit on the couch to make sure the cushions were the only issue with the sagging couch. If the couch still sags, inspect the frame again.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте подушки на упругость. Осмотрите состояние ППУ и ватина. Замените ППУ или ватин. Отрежьте ватин нужной формы и проложите им набивку диванных подушек. Верните на место чехлы от подушек.


If the cut in your mouth is bleeding, start by rinsing your mouth with cool water. Swish the water around in your mouth, making sure to swish it around the area with the cut. This helps remove the blood and help to stop the bleeding. If rinsing your mouth doesn’t stop the bleeding, you can apply pressure to the cut with a piece of gauze. Gently press against the cut for a few minutes to stop the bleeding. Pressing a cold compress or ice against the bleeding cut can also help stop the bleeding. Wrap the ice in a cloth and put it against the cut. This helps reduce inflammation and constrict the blood vessels, which will help stop the bleeding.

TL;DR in Russian:

Промойте рот. Придавите место пореза. Используйте холодный компресс.


If the cut is actively bleeding, the first step is to stop that bleeding.  Do this by applying pressure to the area, using a clean cloth or medical gauze.  Do not remove the cloth until the bleeding has stopped completely.  Facial injuries often bleed worse than other parts of the body, so the injury may look worse than it is.  Crying makes bleeding worse, so try to remain calm and stop crying. If the cut is very deep, particularly if it is a puncture wound, you may need to go to the hospital immediately.  Large gaping wounds or deep wounds will likely need stitches and professional cleaning.  More superficial wounds can be cared for at home. Before you touch the open wound in any way, be sure to clean your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water.  Wash both hands, between all of your fingers, and your wrists thoroughly, rinse with hot water, and dry with a clean towel. Hand-washing is a very important method of avoiding the chance of any infection in the wound. Clean the wound very gently with water and soap.  Be sure to rinse the soap out of the wound completely with water.  Be sure to remove any visible debris or dirt from the wounded area.  Use cool or slightly warm water.  Water that is too hot may cause the wound to start bleeding again.   Be patient and slow with this step.  If there is debris in the wound, try using a soft cloth to aid in removing it. If necessary, sterilize tweezers with rubbing alcohol and use them to aid in removing pieces of debris from the wound.   Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which can irritate or damage tissue. An antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Polysporin is the best option, but if none is available, simple petroleum jelly such as Vaseline can help.  Expensive creams or treatments that claim to reduce scarring are generally not as helpful as they claim to be. Place a sterile bandage over the wounded area.  This may be a bit cumbersome on your face, but it is important to keep the area free from potential infections.  Place a bandage over the cut and use...

TL;DR in Russian:

Остановите кровотечение. Оцените серьезность травмы. Вымойте руки. Как следует промойте рану. Нанесите на рану лекарственное средство. Перевяжите рану. В случае широкой раны используйте пластырь в форме бабочки. Снизьте отек.


If the date is going well and you want to make some physical contact, reach for their hand, upper arm, hair, or back. Keep your touching gentle and fleeting. Follow their lead, and don’t push for more touching if they’re wiggling away from you. When in doubt, ask for permission before touching them.  Do not reach for the sexual parts of their body until you get clear verbal consent. “No” means “no,” even if they’ve been drinking or flirting with you at other times during the date. Buying them a meal is not a ticket to the bedroom. If they say no, it’s not the end of the world, but don’t keep trying to touch them in the same way (or a different way). Respect that they have control over their own body. If they’re looking at you intently, looking at your lips, and moving close while not turning their shoulders away, you can slowly and gently go in for the kiss. Don’t use tongue; let them lead the depth of the kiss. If they break the kiss by backing away, don’t grab them and try to continue it; stop immediately.  Keep some mints and a toothpick in your pocket, just in case you expect the mood to arise. Don’t try to force a kiss at the end of the date if it hasn’t been going very well. In that case, a hug or a swift kiss on the cheek to say “goodbye” is more appropriate. If you don’t feel the sparks flying, that’s okay! Dating is for figuring out what you do and don’t want in a partner. Don’t be mean and tell them they’re too boring, ugly, or loud. Be honest but tactful, and say, “You’re really great, but I just don’t feel the chemistry.” Offer to be friends, but make sure you mean it. Some people might not take you up on that after being rejected. They might not have felt the chemistry even though you did, so they might decline another date. That’s okay; at least you kept your promise to call  back.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сведите прикосновения к минимуму, пока партнер сам не начнет проявлять больше инициативы. Поцелуйте его, если обстановка позволяет. Деликатно откажите, если вы не чувствуете притяжения. Перезвоните человеку, если пообещаете сделать это.


If the degreaser alone didn’t work, or you feel you need to deodorize a bit, you can mix ⅜ cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of flour, and ⅛ cup of sea salt to make a cleaning paste. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until you have a paste. The baking soda paste provides a bit more friction than most degreasers. This can help if you have a stain that requires a lot of scrubbing. Use a rag, or preferably a microfiber towel, to scrub the paste into the affected spot. If it is a small spot, or a spot with a lot of crevices you can use a toothbrush to better scrub the area. Use a wet towel or microfiber towel to wipe away the cleaning solution and the grease. For this you need only use water, distilled water is best as it contains fewer contaminants that might leave water spots. If the stain isn’t completely removed after the first cleaning, repeat this process until the stain is gone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте пасту из пищевой соды. Потрите загрязненное место приготовленной пастой. Удалите пасту с помощью мокрого полотенца. Повторите процедуру.


If the denominator consists of a single term under a radical, such as [stuff]/sqrt(5), then multiply numerator and denominator by that radical to get [stuff]*sqrt(5)/sqrt(5)*sqrt(5) = [stuff]*sqrt(5)/5. For cube or higher roots, multiply by the appropriate power of the radical to make the denominator rational. If the denominator was cbrt(5), then multiply numerator and denominator by cbrt(5)^2.  If the denominator consists of a sum or difference of square roots such as sqrt(2) + sqrt(6), then multiply numerator and denominator by its conjugate, the same expression with the opposite operator. Thus [stuff]/(sqrt(2) + sqrt(6)) = [stuff](sqrt(2)-sqrt(6))/(sqrt(2) + sqrt(6))(sqrt(2)-sqrt(6)). Then use the difference of squares identity [(a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2] to rationalize the denominator, simplifying (sqrt(2) + sqrt(6))(sqrt(2)-sqrt(6)) =  sqrt(2)^2 - sqrt(6)^2 = 2-6 = -4.  This works for denominators like 5 + sqrt(3) too since every whole number is a square root of some other whole number. [1/(5 + sqrt(3)) = (5-sqrt(3))/(5 + sqrt(3))(5-sqrt(3)) = (5-sqrt(3))/(5^2-sqrt(3)^2) = (5-sqrt(3))/(25-3) = (5-sqrt(3))/22] This works for a sum of square roots like sqrt(5)-sqrt(6)+sqrt(7). If you group it as (sqrt(5)-sqrt(6))+sqrt(7) and multiply it by (sqrt(5)-sqrt(6))-sqrt(7), your answer won't be rational, but will be of the form a+b*sqrt(30) where a and b are rational. Then you can repeat the process with the conjugate of a+b*sqrt(30) and (a+b*sqrt(30))(a-b*sqrt(30)) is rational. In essence, if you can use this trick once to reduce the number of radical signs in the denominator, then you can use this trick repeatedly to eliminate all of them. This even works for denominators containing higher roots like the 4th root of 3 plus the 7th root of 9. Just multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate. Unfortunately, it is not immediately clear what the conjugate of that denominator is nor how to go about finding it. A good book on algebraic number theory will cover this, but I will not. You now have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Согласно канонической форме знаменатель, если возможно, должен включать только целые числа (или многочлен в случае присутствия переменной). Упростите числитель после того, как вы избавились от корней в знаменателе. Если в знаменателе находится отрицательное целое число, умножьте числитель и знаменатель на -1, чтобы преобразовать это число в положительное.


If the denominators are different numbers, then you're dealing with unlike denominators. You're going to have to find a way to make the unlike denominators be the same. This guide will help you do that. By the last step, you should understand how they were added together.   Ex. 3: 1/3 + 3/5  Ex. 4: 2/7 + 2/14 Do this by finding a "multiple" of the two denominators. An easy way to find one is to simply multiply the two denominators together. If one of the numbers multiplies into the other numbers, you may only need to multiply one of the fractions.   Ex. 3: 3 x 5 = 15. Both of our fractions will have a denominator of 15.  Ex. 4: 14 is a multiple of 7. So all we have to do is multiply 7 by 2 to get 14. Both of our fractions will have a denominator of 14. We're not changing the value of the fraction; we're just changing how the fraction looks. It's still the same fraction.   Ex. 3: 1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15.  Ex. 4: For this fraction, we only have to multiply the first fraction by 2, because that's what gives us our common denominator.2/7 x 2/2 = 4/14. Again, we're not changing the value of the fraction; we're just changing how the fraction looks. It's still the same fraction.   Ex. 3: 3/5 x 3/3 = 9/15.  Ex. 4: We don't need to multiply the second fraction because both fractions already have their common denominators. We haven't added them yet, but that will come soon! What we've done is multiple each fraction by the number 1. Our goal here was to get the denominators to look exactly the same.   Ex. 3: instead of 1/3 + 3/5, we have 5/15 + 9/15  Ex. 4: instead of 2/7 + 2/14, we have 4/14 + 2/14 The numerator is the top number of the fraction.   Ex. 3: 5 + 9 = 14. 14 will be our new numerator.  Ex. 4: 4 + 2 = 6. 6 will be our new numerator. Or, just keep the denominator that's on the changed fractions already — it's the same number.   Ex. 3: 15 will be our new denominator.  Ex. 4: 14 will be our new denominator. Ex. 3: 14/15 is our answer to 1/3 + 3/5 = ?  Ex. 4: 6/14 is our answer to 2/7 + 2/14 = ? Simplify by dividing...

If the desktop is not activated, you'll close the active program instead of opening the shut down menu. Make sure the desktop is active and all other programs are closed or minimized. Alt+F4 while logged in remotely. If you use Windows 10 Remote Desktop, you may have noticed that there is no Shut Down option in the Power menu. If you need to shut the computer down, you can do so from the new Shut Down Windows menu. You can also choose from the other options, including "Restart," "Sleep," and "Sign out." Since you are using Remote Desktop, you will lose your connection to the remote computer.

If the dial was bumped, it could have made it too warm for the refrigerator to turn on. It's important to check both the refrigerator and the freezer temperature settings, because the refrigerator gets its cold from the freezer. A problem with the freezer setting will affect the refrigerator as well. It should be set between 37 and 40º F (3-4ºC) for the refrigerator and between 0-5ºF (-15 to -18ºC) for the freezer. Check the space between the walls and the appliance. There should be a 3-inch (76.2 mm) gap around the sides of the appliance and at least a 1-inch (25.4 mm) gap at the top. This provides airflow needed for the machine to function. This part helps dissipate heat that could make the appliance act funny. This cleaning should be done with the appliance turned off. You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year, and floor coils twice a year. Unplug the refrigerator for 2 hours and then plug it back in. If it starts running "normally" again, the compressor is overheating and it should be checked by a repair technician. Use a multimeter to test each component for continuity. These include the temperature control, the evaporator fan, the defrost timer, the overload protector and the compressor motor. You may have to consult your owner's manual for the locations of the components. If a part does not have continuity, it is faulty and will need to be replaced.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте датчик температуры в холодильнике. Убедитесь в том, что холодильник обдувается достаточным количеством воздуха. Почистите конденсатор холодильника пылесосом либо щеткой. Проверьте, не перегревается ли компрессор и не нарушены ли электрические контакты.


If the diarrhea happened within a day or so of changing cat foods or introducing a new food, it could be the new diet. Go back to the old food that was not causing problems and the stool may go back to normal. When the stool is firmed up, try changing the diet very gradually, a little new food at a time. If you suspect your cat is allergic to her food, try changing her diet. Food sensitivities (allergies) do occur in cats and may cause diarrhea. So, when changing the diet, make sure the new food has very different ingredients than the old food, otherwise, there may not be much difference to the cat at all. Your veterinarian can also discuss with you trying a high fiber diet for your cat. This may include the use of a prescription diet available only through veterinary channels, and not found on the pet store shelves. Royal Canin, Hill’s Prescription Diets and Purina pet food companies have a veterinary-only subset of diets created for special medical conditions. For some pets, you might slowly introduce a new food. A good ratio might be 90 percent current food and 10 percent new food. Gradually increase the amount until you reach all new food in about 10 days. Let your kitty tell you how fast you can switch to the new diet. Other cats may prefer adding 10% new food and remaining at that ratio for 3-5 days before adding in 10% more. There is no hard and fast rule and it is not a race. Adding half a teaspoon of unflavored Metamucil into your cat's food once or twice a day for 5-7 days  may help firm things up. Canned plain pumpkin may do the same thing. Both Metamucil and canned pumpkin are high in fiber. Probiotics add good intestinal “bugs” back into the gastrointestinal system to help rebalance a system that is out of sorts with the diarrhea. An easy and tasty option is FortiFlora for cats, an over the counter (OTC) Purina product. Water loss can be significant with ongoing diarrhea and your pet can get dehydrated. To detect dehydration, gently pinch the normally loose skin at the back of the neck. When a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Вспомните, не давали ли вы кошке какую-то новую пищу. Подумайте, нет ли у кошки пищевой аллергии. Постепенно переведите кошку на новую диету. Давайте кошке «Метамуцил». Добавьте в рацион пробиотики. Давайте кошке достаточное количество воды.


If the dog must learn to pee inside, use special disposable training pads. Absorbent pads set in the same place each time is a good “last resort” for the dog if you cannot get home in time to take him outside. Establish boundaries for where the dog can pee, such as on grass. If they make a mess, communicate clearly and firmly without harsh punishment. Take the dog to the area in which he can pee.

TL;DR in Russian:

Часто выводите питбуля на улицу в туалет. Отведите место, будь оно большим или маленьким, в котором собаке можно ходить в туалет дома. Часто ходите гулять с собакой. Уделяйте собаке внимание.


If the dog still shows no sign of aggression, slowly stroke or gently scratch the base of the dog's ears. Approach from the side of the dog's head, not from above its face. If you have been successful up to this point, and the dog isn't trying to shy away, continue to other areas. You may move your hand across the back, or move it to the crown, and gently scratch there with your fingers.  Many dogs enjoy being scratched at the top of their back, on either side of the spine. The front end near the neck and shoulders has a lower chance of making the dog anxious than the back end near the tail and hind legs. Stay away from the dog's legs, tail, and private parts. Friendly dogs may enjoy being pet under the chin or on the chest, but others dislike strangers reaching near their jaw. Be aware that some dogs are "head-shy" and do not like being petted on top of the head. Some dogs dislike having their hind-ends petted, or dislike other areas being touched. Any growl, tail down or sudden moves should signal that you need to stop what you are doing immediately and stand still. If the dog calms down again and moves towards you, continue petting in a different spot. Don't scratch suddenly or vigorously, don't pat or slap its sides, and don't move rapidly to a different area. If the dog enjoys an area being pet, you may move from stroking to light scratching, or from one hand to two hands. Keep it gentle, though, as you don't know how this unfamiliar dog may react to more energetic pets. Fast or vigorous petting can make even a friendly dog overexcited, and cause it to jump or snap at your hands.

TL;DR in Russian:

Погладьте собаку за ушами. Если все идет успешно, можно положить руку на спину или на холку и легко потрепать одними пальцами. Знайте, когда необходимо остановиться. Не делайте резких движений.


If the droppings are in an accessible place, wet them with warm water before you begin cleaning. Pour the water directly over the spot, or soak a washcloth and use it to cover the spot. The warmth and moisture of the water will begin softening the stain, loosening its hold on hard, porous surfaces. Give the warm water ample time to begin softening the stain. Bird droppings dry in a thick paste, and it may be much harder to clean them away if they’re still partially dry. Make sure you’ve wet the entire spot. Once the water has softened the droppings, they will begin to look fresh again. Take a garden hose and hold it a few feet away from the spot. Turn it on at full flow and aim it directly at the bird droppings. The constant stream of water should finish the job that wetting the spot started. Go over the stain it’s completely gone.  If your hose comes with a head that allows you to adjust the stream, set it to the high-pressure, single stream flow to blast away bird messes. If your hose doesn't have an adjustable head, you can place your thumb halfway over the nozzle to partially block the water flow and produce a higher pressure stream manually. If traces of the droppings remain after you’ve washed the spot with a hose, take a small, stiff-bristled scrubbing brush (a household broom will also work) and scour the area, re-wetting as needed. The bristles will dig into the crevices in the brick, concrete or roofing tile and and scrape away the remaining bird poop. Be sure to clean the brush off after use; bird feces is filled with bacteria.

TL;DR in Russian:

Намочите пятно теплой водой. Оставьте пятно отмокать на несколько минут. Смойте размякший помет шлангом. Для удаления стойких пятен воспользуйтесь щеткой.


If the entirety of the root system isn’t removed, it’s possible that the weeds will regrow and return. Wait one or two days after you water or after it rains heavily so the soil has time to soak. Pulling weeds from wet soil will disturb surrounding plants less than dry soil. Instead of kneeling on hard ground or rocks, wear knee pads to prevent soreness and stiffness later. Gloves will help stop any skin irritation and can also prevent blisters from long days of pulling weeds.  If you do not have knee pads, laying down a cushion or folded towel is a good substitute.  Use gloves that are made from a non-stick, but breathable, material. This will make the weeds easier to pull up. Use the tool to dig around in the soil around the weeds. This can also help you dig up more established weeds. If you grab the weeds in handfuls, you may not pull out the taproot, or the root that provides most of the weed’s water. While it is more tedious, to prevent weeds from growing back, pull them one at a time. This ensures that you grab the weed by the main root. Twisting the weed will help break off smaller roots and make it easier to pull out.  Do not use a fast jerking motion when pulling, as this can cause large root sections to break off and regrow.  Put everything that you have pulled in a bucket so they do not germinate again and throw them in the trash. Do not put them in compost.

TL;DR in Russian:

Полейте сорняки, чтобы ослабить корневую систему. Наденьте наколенники и перчатки, чтобы защитить руки и ноги. Разрыхлите землю под сорняками с помощью почвенного ножа или копальных вил, чтобы их легче было выдернуть. Выдергивайте сорняки по отдельности, а не скопом. Возьмитесь за основание сорняка и потяните его вверх, поворачивая по оси.


If the files has been deleted, there's still a chance that the data is still there, but has just been set to be overwritten by new data. By not accessing the SD card, you increase the chances that the data will not be overwritten. Until you're ready to try recovering files, it's best to remove the SD card from any device. The full version of ZAR requires a purchase, but the demo version allows you to recover image files only. Only download ZAR from the developer's website. On the ZAR website, click the "image recovery" link towards the bottom of the page. This will allow you to install the free demo that can recover images. Insert your SD card into your computer using an SD card reader, or by putting it in your camera and connecting the camera via USB. Your computer may prompt you to format your card or say that it's not readable. Do not format your card according to this prompt, as this can write over where your pictures are saved on the card. Start ZAR and click Image Recovery (Free). In other programs, look for a similar button. Some programs may skip this step altogether. In the "Disks and partitions", select your SD card. It should be labeled as an SD card. Click Next to start the recovery scan. You will see a list of images that the software found on your SD card. Select the images that you want to recover, or select all to restore all the lost images. You may not be able to preview them, and the filenames will most likely be lost. If your SD card has been damaged, don't save them to the card. Instead, choose or create a folder on your computer to save the pictures to. This will keep your pictures safe if anything happens to your SD card again. Click Start copying the selected files to restore the pictures. The files selected file will be saved to the location you specified. Some pictures may not be able to be fully restored. Even if the thumbnail looks okay, the picture itself may be partially or fully damaged.

TL;DR in Russian:

If the fire is still small and contained to one pot, it is safe to extinguish it by yourself. If it's beginning to spread to other parts of the kitchen, get everyone assembled outside and dial for emergency services. Do not place yourself in the way of harm. Call emergency services if you're too afraid to go near the fire or don't know what to do. Do not risk life and limb to save a kitchen. This is your first priority, given that a grease fire needs heat to stay alive. Leave the pot where it is, and don't attempt to move it, as you may accidentally splash burning oil on yourself or your kitchen. If you have time, put on an oven mitt first to protect your skin. Fire needs oxygen to continue, so covering it with a metal lid will essentially smother the flame. Place a metal pan lid or a cookie sheet on top of the fire. Do not use glass lids; they can shatter when exposed to fire. Also avoid using ceramic lids, bowls and plates for this purpose. These can explode and become dangerous shrapnel. Baking soda will put out small grease fires, but won't work as effectively on larger ones. It will take a large amount of baking soda to get the job done, so grab the whole box and dump it generously on the flames until they're extinguished.  Table salt will also work. If you can get your hands on that faster, use salt. Do not using baking powder, flour or anything other than baking soda or salt for this. If you have a Class B or K dry chemical fire extinguisher on hand, this can put out a grease fire. Since the chemicals will contaminate your kitchen and be tough to clean up, only do this as a last resort. However, if it's the last line of defense before the fire gets out of control, don't hesitate!

Оцените серьезность воспламенения. Немедленно отключите плиту. Накройте пламя металлической крышкой. Небольшое пламя засыпьте пищевой содой. В качестве последнего средства воспользуйтесь порошковым химическим огнетушителем.


If the flooding has been caused by a burst pipe or a water heater failure, shut off the main water line for your home. Get in touch with an expert immediately if you cannot tell from where the water is coming. If your home is flooded, cut off the electricity and gas from the main source. This isn't as essential for small leaks or puddles, but for large floods turn them off to be safe.   Do not handle electrical appliances unless you are properly insulated. If you have to stand in water to turn off the main electricity, consult with an electrician. Before you begin your cleanup effort, first determine if rebuilding is even a worthwhile option. Take ample photos and other documentation to show the insurance company. If you can, find and remove your most important items from the flooded area, such as heirlooms, money, jewelry, etc. Don't spend too much time extracting and cleaning individual items, as the water is still doing damage to your home. The longer the water sits, the more damage it will cause. As soon as it is safe, pump out any standing water. If you are dealing with a natural flood, wait to pump until the flood waters have receded below your house.  Wear proper protective gear. When working in a flooded area, be sure to wear rubber boots, gloves, and a mask or respirator. Keep children and pets away from any standing flood water, as it is often contaminated. Place the pump at the lowest spot of the flooded floor. If the water is deep, you may need to lower the pump using a nylon rope. If dealing with a small amount of flooding, you may be able to use a wet-dry shop vacuum to remove the water. These often only hold 4–5 gallons (15.1–18.9 L), so you may find yourself emptying it often. Be careful, as there could be nails and other materials left behind by the flood water.  Mud left behind by floods often contain a significant amount of toxins. Shovel out as much mud as possible, and spray down your walls with clean water. Make sure to check for mud in air ducts, as it will be hazardous when it dries....

TL;DR in Russian:

Остановите поток воды. Отключите электричество. Оцените ущерб. Спасите наиболее ценные вещи. Избавьтесь от стоячей воды. Уберите мусор. Дайте высохнуть технике.


If the food poisoning symptoms persist for more than two 48 hours, are severe, or are complicated by other factors, then see your doctor as soon as possible or go to an emergency room or urgent care facility.  Complicating features can include age. Food poisoning in infants, young children, and the elderly warrants prompt medical attention. Also, people that have other medical conditions that require a stable situation and the ability to take their medications on a regular basis may need medical attention to recover from food poisoning as quickly as possible. Sometimes the symptoms progress beyond the basic initial symptoms and can lead to medical complications if access to appropriate medical care is delayed. Examples of more severe symptoms include the following:  Persistent episodes of vomiting and the inability to keep any liquids down for more than one or two days Bloody vomit or blood in the stools Diarrhea for more than three days Extreme pain or severe abdominal cramping A temperature higher than 101.5F when taken orally Neurological changes such as blurred vision, muscle weakness, and tingling in the extremities Dizziness, lightheadedness, and severe weakness Unresolved signs of dehydration which include excessive thirst, dry mouth, little or no urination, and very dark colored urine Hospitals and other facilities will proceed quickly with trying to restore your fluid balance and resolve the dehydration. They may also do tests to determine the cause of the symptoms and prescribe treatments to help the symptoms resolve.  An IV will be started to provide resuscitation of fluids and electrolytes you have lost during your episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. If you are still nauseous and have diarrhea, medications may be given through the IV line, such as odansetron for severe nausea, to help you feel more comfortable. Blood tests will be performed to establish the severity of your condition. Additional tests may be done to attempt to determine the source of the contamination. This may or may not be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь к врачу. Выявите серьезные симптомы. Подготовьтесь к лечению в медицинском учреждении. Подумайте о возможных источниках отравления. Учтите, что в ряде случаев симптомы проявляются через более продолжительное время. При приготовлении пищи используйте чистую свежевымытую утварь.


If the force is not perpendicular to the moment arm being considered (i.e. it's mounted at an angle) you may need to find its components using trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine.  The force component you consider will depend on the equivalent of the perpendicular force. Imagine a horizontal bar, and you need to apply a force of 10N at an angle of 30° above the horizontal for to rotate it about its center. Since you need to use a force that is perpendicular to the moment arm, you need a vertical force to rotate the bar. Therefore, you need to consider the y-component, or use F = 10sin30° N. A simple example is: Imagine a 30 kg child sitting on one side of a seesaw. The length of one side of the seesaw is 1.5 m. Since the rotation axis of the seesaw is at the center, you do not need to multiply the length. You need to determine the force exerted by the child, by using mass and acceleration. Since the given data is mass, you need to multiply it by the acceleration due to gravity, g, which is equal to 9.81 m/s2. Therefore: Now, you have all the needed data to use the torque equation: When the force rotates the body clockwise, torque is negative. When the force rotates the body counterclockwise, torque is positive.  For multiple applied forces, just sum up all of the torques in the body. Since each force tends to produce different rotational directions, the use of sign convention is important to keep track of which forces are acting in which directions. For example, two forces, F1= 10.0 N clockwise and F2 = 9.0 N counterclockwise, are applied to the edge of a wheel with a diameter of 0.050m. Since the given body is a circle, its fixed axis is the center. You need to divide the diameter and get the radius. The measurement of the radius will serve as the moment arm. Therefore the radius is equal to .025m. For clarity, we can solve for the individual torques brought about by the forces. For force 1, the action is clockwise so the torque produced is negative: For force 2, the action is counterclockwise so...

TL;DR in Russian:

If the fuel source for the fire is a solid combustible material—wood, cloth, paper, rubber, plastic, etc.—then you have a Class A fire. A fire blanket is a quick, easy way to extinguish the initial stage of a Class A fire. The fire blanket removes oxygen from the fire, which starves the fire of it’s ability to burn. To use a fire blanket, remove from its packing, grip the unfolded blanket in front of you with your hands and body protected by it, and drape the blanket over the small fire. Do NOT throw the blanket at the fire. If you do not have a fire blanket handy, then you can easily use a fire extinguisher on a Class A fire. Ensure that the label on the extinguisher reads Class A.  To use the extinguisher, aim at the base of the fire and sweep the spray back and forth across it until it’s out.  If you cannot extinguish the fire within five seconds of using the extinguisher, then it’s too large. Evacuate to a safe place and call 911. Solely Class A extinguishers will be silver and will have a pressure gauge for the water inside; however, many multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers will also be rated for Class A fires.  You can use a carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher on Class A fires if it’s the only type of extinguisher you have, but it’s not recommended. Class A objects tend to smolder for a long time, and the fire can very easily reignite as the CO2 dissipates. A specifically Class A fire extinguisher is essentially water under pressure, so you can use large amounts of water from a sink if it’s the only thing you have available. If the fire is obviously spreading faster than you can douse it—or if it’s producing too much smoke for you to try safely—then you must evacuate the space and call 911 instead. As with any type of fire, you can to call 911 even if you manage to extinguish the fire. Emergency responders will ensure that the fire has no chance of reigniting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте пожарное покрывало, чтобы потушить огонь. Воспользуйтесь огнетушителем класса А, чтобы потушить огонь. Воспользуйтесь большим количеством воды. Вызовите пожарных по телефону 101.


If the girl gave you her number and you want to start texting with her, a good starting point is to text about something you will both laugh about. Maybe there's an inside joke or something that you both have in common that you can message about. Stay away from texting something boring like, “How are you?” This will probably only get you a boring answer and it won't engage her very much. Send a text with specific details about the last time you were together in person. For example, you might say, “I loved you in that red dress the other day.” She'll feel special that you remembered these details. Sending 20 texts in different parts of the day will likely be overwhelming. Stick to 3 or 4 text sessions where you send her a quick message and respond a few times to her texts. Texting is a good supplement to other interactions, like meeting up in person or talking on the phone. Texting can help you flirt, but it shouldn't be the only way you flirt with someone. Even if you're shy, you should get to know this girl by talking on the phone or going on a casual outing together. A girl might be at work or busy doing something and can't always immediately text back. She might not be into texting and would prefer a phone call. Get a feel for how she responds to your texts and don't take it personally.

TL;DR in Russian:

Напишите сообщение с шуткой, понятной вам двоим. Вдавайтесь в подробности. Не пишите слишком много. Не надейтесь только на переписку. Не расстраивайтесь, если она не ответила.


If the girl teases you, then it's another sure-fire sign that she has a crush on you. Teasing is just one form of flirting, and it's her way of letting you know she has a crush on you while being playful. If she teases you, then she'll make fun of your clothes, playfully push or shove you, or even make fun of your hair or new shoes. Don't be offended -- this is just her way to let you know that she's paying attention to you. See if she teases all of the guys, or just you. If she teases everyone, then she may just be a playful person. But if it's just you, then you're special to her. If the girl is always giving you complements, then there's a good chance she has a crush on you. If she tells you she likes your new shoes, that she liked your history presentation, or that you did great in the baseball game though all you did was strike out, then yeah, she probably has a crush on you. If a girl has a crush on you, she'll like every little thing you do, and she may not be afraid to tell you about it.  See if she's the type of girl who is just really nice and gives everyone compliments, or if she only says flattering things to you. Who knows -- maybe she's just really, really nice. But probably not. If she compliments a new shirt or a new haircut, that means she notices when your wardrobe or looks change, which already is a strong sign that she has a crush on you. If a girl has a crush on you, then she'll try to talk to you as much as she can -- unless she's really shy. If you don't have many mutual friends or other reasons to be around each other, she may come up and ask you an obvious question, like something about the math homework that she could have easily asked another friend. She may even call or text you to ask an obvious question, hoping it could lead to more conversation. If she likes you, she may even try to talk to you about something she know that you love, like a sport or favorite TV show. She could come up to you just to ask if you saw last night's game or to ask what you thought about the season...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите, поддразнивает ли она вас. Отмечайте, хвалит ли она вас. Следите, ищет ли она повод заговорить с вами. Она может поинтересоваться о том, нравится ли вам кто-нибудь. Обратите внимание на то, что она говорит о девчонках, с которыми вы вращаетесь в одних кругах. Насторожитесь, если она дает понять, что хочет встречаться с парнем. Слушайте, как она отзывается о других парнях. Посмотрите, как часто она вам звонит или пишет сообщения.


If the girl that you like says yes and you do get to go on a date with her, make sure that you do all that you can to make sure that she wants to go out again sometime. Little gestures like opening doors, helping her put her coat on or take it off, and paying for dinner can be very impressive to some girls. If you really want to wow her, show up at her door with flowers, take her somewhere fancy, and impress her with your food recommendations at the restaurant. To impress her even more on your first date, find out what she likes through casual conversation and plan a date that incorporates those likes. For example, if she is a big fan of horror movies, take her to see the latest horror flick. If she is a Chinese food fanatic, take her to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. If she loves to play mini golf, take her to play some mini golf! When you first pick up or meet up with the girl for your date, make sure that you pay her a sincere, specific compliment. You can say something simple like, “You look amazing in that dress!” or, “Your hair looks really pretty.” Whatever you choose, just make sure that you deliver the compliment in a direct way and look her in the eye as you say it. Keep the compliments coming as you continue to date and get to know each other. Don’t just compliment her appearance either. Make sure that you also compliment her intelligence, her sense of humor, and her other talents as you learn about them. For example, you can say something like, “I really admire your talent at track and field.” When you are first getting to know a girl that you like, you should be careful not to delve too deeply into personal issues. Stick to things that won’t get her feeling uncomfortable or vulnerable For example, you can ask about her favorite music, movies she’s seen recently, or her hobbies. Avoid discussing topics that might be uncomfortable for her such as your ex-girlfriends, family conflicts, or your religion. Instead, focus on questions that help you get to know her better. Ask her about her likes and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте обворожительны во время свидания. Делайте ей комплименты. В первое время говорите о простых вещах. Задавайте больше вопросов, чтобы узнать ее получше. Будьте терпеливы.


If the girl you like confronts you directly, hiding your feelings from her can seem impossible.  Stay cool and react in a realistic way.  Acting startled or surprised might give away the fact that you’re hiding something.  Do not reply in a nervous manner.  There are many forms direct questions can take, but if she asks “Do you have a crush on me?” or “Do you have feelings for me?”, you might respond, “No, why do you ask?” or “Certainly not, whatever gave you that idea?” If you don’t feel comfortable lying, rely in an ambiguous way.  For instance, using the above example,  you might simply reply “What makes you think that?” or “Why do you ask?” without including the explicit denial.  Lying might not be the best option.  She might be asking you about your feelings because she has feelings for you too. There are certain unconscious cues indicating attraction conveyed by body language.  For example, frequent, seemingly unnecessary grooming (touching your hair or smoothing your clothes), facing your body towards her, and thrusting your chest out and your shoulders back all provide indications that you’re attracted to someone in your presence and yearning for them to notice and touch you.  Most of these can be stopped once you are aware of and looking for them in your own behavior. Keep in mind that these cues are effectively invisible unless someone is consciously looking for them. You have no need to worry that you're sending out "messages" of attraction. If the girl you like believes you have a girlfriend already, or are interested in someone else, she’ll be unaware that you have feelings for her.  By showing or expressing affection for another girl, you’ll effectively hide your feelings for her.  Mention to a friend in an offhand way that you think another girl is cute when you’re within earshot of the girl you have feelings for.  This will lead her into thinking you’re not interested in her. Do not date another person just to mislead the girl you like.  This third party could have their feelings hurt. Stay...

TL;DR in Russian:

Солгите, если нужно. Распознавайте собственные непроизвольные знаки внимания. Покажите, что вам небезразлична другая девушка. Следите за своими словами. Отвлеките внимание от себя. Ограничивайте время, которые вы проводите вместе. Ведите себя безучастно. Не глазейте на нее.


If the girl you’ve started chatting with is a stranger to you (or someone that you barely know), it’s important to find topics that you and her both have in common. For example, maybe you both go to the same school, live in the same neighborhood, or both study the same subject. Finding these commonalities will make further conversation more interesting. For example, ask:  “What part of the state did you grow up in?” “What’s your major in college?” Pay attention during your conversation, and note which types of topics the girl seems to enjoy most, or which she expresses an interest in. Then, bring these up again later to continue the conversation and learn more about the girl.  For example, if you know that she likes art, you could deliberately steer the conversation towards famous painters. Or, if the girl mentions an interest in soccer, bring up your own favorite soccer players or teams. The girl you’re speaking to will not enjoy the conversation if her only answers to your questions are “yes” or “no,” as these answers can quickly become repetitive or boring.  Instead, come up with some questions that ask her about her past or make her think, and that will result in a longer, more complex answer. Try asking something like:  “What movie or book character are you most like?” “What are some of your irrational pet peeves?” “What is an unusual fear or phobia that you have?” If you’re in the early stages of chatting with a girl and looking for ways to continue the chat, do not bring up topics that could lead to serious disagreement. Don’t make the girl uncomfortable with probing questions about her exes or past relationships, and also avoid sharing strong opinions on politics. Of course, if you and this girl end up getting to know one another better, these types of topics can lead to important and serious conversation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите общие интересы. Обсудите темы, которые ей нравятся. Задавайте вопросы, на которые недостаточно ответить только «да» или «нет». Избегайте спорных или деликатных тем.


If the glasses are stubborn, and you're making no progress by simply tilting/twisting the glasses apart, the next step is to apply some light lubrication. A bit of olive or sunflower oil may do the trick. Try using soap. This is especially effective if the glasses are "pinched" together, rather than stuck fast.  Consider using the oil method in conjunction with the heating method. This may be effective on especially stubborn glasses. Try using WD-40 oil as a last-ditch resort. Spray it between the glass. The oil should spread thoroughly by itself, and it should be relatively easy to pull the glasses away from each other. Make sure to wash the glasses thoroughly after doing this: WD-40 is toxic to humans.

TL;DR in Russian:

Немного смажьте стаканы.


If the group is larger and people don't know each other that well, it is a good idea to get people to write their names and some distinguishing features/interests such as "male astronomy buff, 65" or "female triathlete devotee, 34". In more intimate group environments, only the name of the person is necessary. The next step is to prepare the names for a drawing. Cut each name out, and then fold it in half once or twice to prevent people from reading it without unfolding it. Then, place all the folded names into a bowl or hat and mix them around a bit so that the names are shuffled. This can be done in discussion with the whole group or just by those who are organizing the event. The price limit is set so that some people don’t try to be cheap and get away with purchasing a gift for only a few dollars, while others try to overachieve and purchase very expensive gifts. Select a price limit in the ‘happy medium’ range that you know everyone in the group can afford. It’s better to be safe than sorry and choose a lower price range than to choose something too high that some people don’t have enough money for. Work around the group, giving everyone the opportunity to draw a single name randomly out of the hat. Keep the names folded and hidden until everyone has drawn. At this point each person can look at their name, as long as they are careful not to say who they have or to show anyone else their slip of paper. If someone draws their own name, have them redraw. The next step is for everyone to go out and purchase a gift (within the price range) for the person whose name they drew from the hat. Typically, there is a second meeting time at which all the secret santa players exchange gifts and reveal whose name they had the whole time. Check with the members of the group and select a date and time several days in advance at which everyone can meet to exchange their gifts. With your person in mind, go out and choose the perfect gift for them. Try to make it personal, and avoid choosing a generic gift like a coffee mug...

If the growth might not be a wart, treating it as one can make it worse or cause potential health issues. It’s best to visit your doctor for a diagnostic exam to make sure your growth is a wart and receive proper treatment.Keep in mind that some skin cancers can look like a wart, so it’s important that you’re sure what you have is actually a wart. Your doctor can treat the warts in their office or may prescribe wart medication for you to use at home. Which treatment they recommend will depend on your preferences, the type of wart you have, the previous treatment methods you’ve used, and where the wart is located. Here are the typical treatments used for warts:  Prescription-strength salicylic acid removes the wart layer-by-layer. Your doctor may prescribe this treatment alone or with cryotherapy.  Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. A blister will form under and around the wart, which helps slough off the wart. However, you may experience discomfort, discoloration, and blistering.  Trichloroacetic acid can be used in office to treat the wart after your doctor scrubs off the top layer of skin. This treatment can cause discomfort and may require several applications. Your doctor likely won’t recommend it unless nothing else works.  Surgery can remove a wart that is really bothering you, such as one on your face. Your doctor will cut away the wart, which may result in minor scarring.  Laser treatments can cut off blood supply to the wart, causing it to die. However, this treatment may cause discomfort and scarring.

If the guess-word is “book,” you might give clues like “something you use to study in school,” and “a large collection of words that has a main plot.” You score points when your teammates guess the word. You can't use any part of the word or any of the taboo words that are listed.  If you get to a word that you don't know, or your teammates are having a hard time guessing it, you can skip the card. However, if you do skip a card, that point goes to the other team. If the guess-word is cookbook, then you can't use “cook” or “book” within any of your clues. Your teammates must guess the exact word, so if they get it close, or get part of the word, you need to keep giving them clues until they get it exactly right. Each card includes some of the most obvious related words and designates those as taboo words, meaning that you are not allowed to say them. For “book,” the taboo words might be “pages,” “read,” “story,” “paperback,”and “text.” You'll lose a point if you say a taboo word, so it's important to be careful. Each round, one player on the non-guessing team is a watchdog making sure you don't use any of the taboo words. Take turns having each player on each team be the one to hold the buzzer and keep track of taboo word use. When you hear the clue giver say one of the taboo words, you buzz them. Put the card into a discard pile for that round. Put skipped cards into the same discard pile. One pile is for cards that the guessing team got correct. The second pile is for cards that the clue-giver skipped and cards on which the clue-giver accidently said the guess-word or any of the taboo words. Make sure that everyone is clear on which pile is which as they set cards down. It is important to keep the piles separated for accurate scoring. The clue-giving team gets one point for all of the cards that were guessed correctly. The opponents get one point for each card in the discard pile. The discard pile includes skipped cards and any cards the clue-giver got buzzed on.  You can decide to play to a certain score,...

If the hammer is not currently half-cocked, then put it into that position now. Point the gun in a safe direction. Do not point it at yourself or at anyone else. Ideally, you should point it down range. Snap a cap on each nipple with the gun still pointed down range. Note that you may need to pinch the cap to ensure a secure fit. Switch the hammer of the gun to its fully cocked position. At this point, the gun is live. You will be able to pull the trigger and fire it. Point the gun at an appropriate target and fire off each cap.  For percussion caps, an appropriate target would be a leaf, blade of grass, or sheet of paper positioned roughly 1 foot (30.5 cm) away. The target should move. If it doesn't, there might be an obstruction in the barrel. Do not load the gun until the obstruction is cleared. Firing off percussion caps will further clear and dry each chamber. Make sure that there are no unfired caps left on any of the nipples before continuing. You also need to remove any busted or fragmented caps at this time.

If the hamster has a discharge from his eyes or nose, if he sneezes, or if he is hunched up and breathing using his stomach muscles, then he may have respiratory disease. There are certain things you can do to help with this.  Make sure his bedding is clean at all times. Bedding soiled with urine gives off ammonia, which is extremely irritating to the respiratory system. Use a spoon or a scoop to spot clean any wet bedding, and make sure the cage smells clean. If you can smell urine or ammonia, then the effect is a thousand times worse for the hamster. Spot clean every day, but try to do this in such a way that it does not disturb your hamster too much and add to his stress. Check that the room temperature is within the recommended range and make adjustments accordingly. If the hamster has a sticky nose, try and wipe it clean with a damp cotton ball. This helps to keep the airway clear, which makes it more comfortable for the hamster to breath. Teeth problems can make your hamster feel unwell. A clear or milky discharge from the eyes can be a sign of overgrown teeth roots. Check to see if your hamster is eating properly. If he isn't, then a vet check is advisable to make sure there isn't a problem with overgrown teeth. If there is a problem with this, the vet can trim them back. If this is the case and the teeth are not trimmed, the hamster may progressively starve because he is unable to eat.  Another sign of dental problems is a wet chin or neck. This happens when spurs of teeth dig into the cheek or tongue, making it painful to swallow. Prevention is easier than a cure. This means you should give your hamster suitable items to chew on in order to keep his teeth short. Avoid giving too many soft foods, such as strawberries or bananas, to your hamster because they don't need much chewing. Instead, give him dry pelleted food and a block of wood for him to gnaw on. Also give him cardboard tubes or boxes, which will keep his teeth healthy. Plus, he will love to demolish them. If your hamster has a wet tail, he...

If the hernia's symptoms come on suddenly, the first thing the doctor will do is try to manage your pain. In the case of an incarcerated hernia, the doctor may first try to physically push the hernia back into its original position. This can reduce the acute inflammation and swelling and provide more time to allow for an elective surgical repair. Strangulated hernias need immediate surgery to avoid tissue cell death and organ tissue puncture. Even if the hernia is not terribly dangerous, your doctor may recommend elective surgery to repair it before it progresses to a more dangerous state.  Studies have shown that preemptive elective surgery lower morbidity and mortality significantly. Depending on the type of hernia and the individual patient, there's a wide range in the likelihood of a hernia recurring.  Groin (pediatric): These hernias have a low recurrence rate of <3% after surgical treatment. They can sometimes heal spontaneously on their own in infants. Groin (adult): Depending on the experience level of the surgeon operating on this hernia, the recurrence rate after surgery can be anywhere from 0-10%. Incisional: About 3%-5% of patients will have a hernia recurrence after their first surgery.  If the incisional hernias are larger, patients may see rates of up to 20%-60%. Umbilical (pediatric): These types of hernias can usually resolve on their own spontaneously. Umbilical (adult): There is a higher recurrence of umbilical hernias in adults.  Usually, a patient can expect up to 11% recurrence rate after surgery.

If the hole is close to an electrical outlet or phone line, make sure you check inside it so you don't hit any wires while you work. Feel around the hole with your hands, or peer inside using a flashlight. If you find a wire, take note of where it is located and plan to work carefully around it when you repair the hole. Use a ruler and a level to measure and draw a rectangle around the perimeter of the hole, then cut it out using a utility knife or drywall saw. This will enable you to neatly patch the hole with a piece of drywall the precise size you need, rather than making an irregular patch. Cut the backer boards about 4 inches (10.2 cm) longer than the height of the hole. Line the first backer board vertically along the left edge of the hole. Use one hand to hold it in place tightly while using a drill to screw two drywall screws through the intact drywall just below the hole, and two through the drywall just above the hole. Use the same technique to install another backer board along the right edge of the hole.  Pine or other soft wood backer boards work well for repairing drywall, since they're easy to screw into. Be sure to hold the boards in such a way that the screws won't scratch or puncture your hands when they pop through the backer boards. Measure the thickness of the drywall and purchase a piece of drywall large enough to patch the hole. Cut it to size using the drywall saw so that it will fit neatly into the hole. Place the drywall patch into the hole and screw it into the backing boards on either side, spacing the screws 6 inches (15.2 cm) apart. Most hardware and home goods stores sell scraps of drywall in different shapes and sizes. Look for one large enough to patch your hole so you don't have to buy a complete sheet of drywall, which will probably be more than you need. Load a joint knife with joint compound and apply it to joints, the seams where the patch and the wall connect.

If the hole is frayed into the seam line or somewhere in the middle of the garment (other than a seam), then you will need to reinforce the area. Cut to size a small piece of fabric of the same weight and color of the garment. Lay the patching fabric under the hole, right side up. Then, bring the edges of the hole as close together as possible, without puckering the hole. Use a small zig zag stitch on the sewing machine to stitch around the edges of hole, catching as much fabric (patch and garment) as possible to make the patch hold. This isn't going to be a "pretty fix," but it should be serviceable. If the garment is casual, you can buy extra fabric in a contrasting color or pattern and sew patches in several areas to make the hole patch look decorative. Do this patch from the outside of the garment, or use appliqués in the same manner to add a designer touch.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наложите усиливающую заплатку.


If the hole is in a visible part of the garment, prepare the self patch from the inside. If this isn't possible, purchase fabric as close in color to the garment as possible in a fabric with the same properties. Alternately, pick a patch that stands out. For some, patched clothing is a stylistic choice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пришейте на дырку незаметную заплатку.


If the horse's mane is dirty, wash it with horse shampoo. Do not use conditioner, which makes the mane slick and difficult to braid. If your horse's mane is thick, "pulling" it with a mane comb will make it much tidier and easier to handle. If the mane is already thin, you can instead trim it to an even length with a blade. Manes are typically cut to no longer than a hand (about 4 inches, or 10 cm), although this is less important for button braids. Ideally, washing and pulling should be done at least a day before braiding. . Tie your horse in a quiet area free from distractions. Encourage the horse to stand still with a hay net, unless your horse tends to move while eating. Leave standing room to braid the mane on the right side of the horse, which is traditional for hunter and dressage competitions. For jumper competitions, you may braid the mane on whichever side it falls naturally. Before you begin, there are a few steps that can make the process easier:  Sweep hay and other ground cover away from the horse so you can find dropped objects, especially if you are using a needle. Place a stool next to the horse if you cannot reach the horse's neck easily. Working with the mane at waist level might be easiest. Put down a container for your tools, or wear an apron or overalls with a large pocket. Take a soft body brush, and dip it in water, egg white, or hair gel for horses, to keep the mane flat and easy to work with. Brush gently to remove all tangles. Continue on to any one of the sections below, or use these tips to decide which you want to try:  The band method makes easy, dangling braids, best for short manes. The yarn method is harder, but makes sturdy, attractive looped braids. Sewing creates small "button braids" often used in dressage. You'll need to use bands or yarn first before you can sew these on. A running braid is quick and easy, but not suitable for competitions.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымойте гриву. При необходимости продерните и подстригите гриву. Привяжите лошадь. Подготовьте рабочую зону. Расчешите гриву лошади мокрой щеткой для тела. Выберите подходящий метод плетения.


If the host doesn't mind, of course. If anything, they should be grateful that you're taking some of the heat off them. And, really, veggie dishes are delicious -- other people will be eating them too!  Wonders can be had with pumpkin, potatoes, beans, and pasta dishes. Vegetarianism is really the diet of the future (preaching to the choir, eh?); you could spend days online looking at recipes before you hit your second lap. Start your own tradition. Acorn squash, anyone? Do you have a veggie recipe you love? It could become part of your family's Thanksgiving. More and more people are becoming health concerned -- or at least trying to avoid gaining weight over the holidays! Many health-conscious stores (like Whole Foods) do Thanksgiving dishes (and entire meals) that are catered to vegetarians and vegans. So if you don't feel like whiling away the hours on dem Internets looking up kale and lentil recipes, know that someone else can totally do the work for you. Whole Foods even offer Thanksgiving vegetarian cooking classes. Do you know how to massage kale? Make cashew cream? Useful stuff! Since you're only able to eat a portion of what's at the table, you have every right to jump on those vegetarian dishes. If you're sitting at a table of 10 and the mashed potatoes are rotating to the left, you may be subject to slim pickings by the time it makes its way over to you. It's not rude -- you need to eat! Just because you're vegetarian does not make you healthy. Eating a dozen rolls on turkey day and calling it good isn't the idea here. Make sure you load up on a variety of dishes (if at all possible) and get in your vitamins and nutrients. Think veggies, not rolls and dessert! The fact of the matter is that this is one meal. If a little meat gets in, that's 1 meal out of the thousand that you ate this year. That's .1%. The industry won't reap the benefits, the animals won't spurn you, and your vegan friends won't condemn you. While you should stick to your principles, don't let your dietary constrictions ruin your...

TL;DR in Russian:

If the host has clarified that you can help yourself to certain things, ask for the location and for any special rules, tricks or quirks that you need to be aware of. For example, if your host is happy for you to make your own meals, get your own breakfast and eat snacks, ask where the food and utensils are, what's expected by way of replenishing used foods and if there is anything you need to be aware of when cleaning up, such as special washing methods for fragile items, keeping cupboard doors child-locked, etc. Don't be afraid to ask again whenever needed. It's better to know than to go ahead and break or ruin something in the house. Put food containers back where you found them. Make use of cleaning items to clean up after yourself. For example, use the toilet brush to keep the toilet clean, squeegee the shower after washing and lift bathmats off the floor to dry. Keep doors and windows as you found them, or ask whether it's okay to position them differently.  Ask about water and power restrictions. Don't be greedy about usage; find out in advance. Ask before making calls using their landline or downloading/streaming content using their broadband. If there are additional costs involved, offer to reimburse them. Think about the fact that if you did this at home, you'd have to restore or renew the items/services, and as such, it's a cost to your host. Your host may not wish this but it is polite to offer sincerely. Avoid wandering around the house naked, but if your host is happy with PJs till noon, that's fine for you too. If your host eats dinner in front of TV, then you can too but if they prefer the table, then do so along with them. And so on. If your hosts take their shoes off at the door, do so too. Ask if their companion animals have specific quirks, needs or fears and how you can be careful and considerate around them. Offer to help feed the pets if that's something you'd like to do. Don't be in their way, don't interfere with their daily plans and make it clear that you don't expect them to be...

If the image that you want to transfer currently exists only digitally, you’ll need to print it. For best results, use only a laser printer. Do not transfer an image that has been printed from an inkjet printer.  Alternately, you could transfer an image from a magazine page, newspaper page, or a photograph that has been developed from film. If you’re printing your image at a local Kinkos or other printing shop, confirm that the printer they’re using is not an inkjet. Cut off a piece of clear packing tape and apply it directly over the printed image or magazine photo. Make sure that the piece of tape completely covers the image you want to transfer. If your image is larger than the width of the packing tape, you won’t be able to transfer it. Re-print the image so that it’s slightly narrower than the packing tape, which is roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm). Carefully scrape the edge of a credit card along the taped image so that bubbles are worked out from the side of the tape. If there are any air bubbles caught between the paper image and the packing tape, there will be gaps in the image once it’s transferred to glass. If you don’t have a credit card handy, use a similar sized object, such as your driver’s license. Begin by cutting away excess paper from the printed photo (or magazine image). Then, carefully cut out the image itself. If the image has curves or sharp angles, carefully cut around these so you’re left holding only the tape-covered image.  If the image is square or rectangular, cutting will be relatively easy. If you don’t have scissors nearby, a utility knife will work as well.

If the image you want to resize is not located in your Picasa library, you can add it by clicking file and then selecting Add File to Picasa. Once your file is in your Picasa library, select it. Click File and then select Export Picture to Folder. This will open the Export to Folder window. You can specify where you want the photo to be saved to. In the “Image size” section, you can choose to use preset image sizes, or specify an exact pixel size. The pixel size affects the longest edge of the image size, and the other edge will be adjusted automatically. Click the "Image quality" dropdown menu. Automatic will attempt to preserve the original quality as much as possible. Maximum will keep as much detail as it can, but will result in higher file sizes. Minimum will result in a much smaller image size at a much lower quality. Your newly adjusted image will be copied to the location that you specified.

If the inbound leg is shorter than it should be, lengthen the outbound leg by the difference.  If the inbound leg is too long, shorten the outbound leg by the excess time.  For example, flying below 14,000 feet (4,267.2 m), if the inbound leg takes one minute, 45 seconds to complete, time the outbound leg for 15 seconds (one minute minus the extra 45 seconds from the inbound leg). If you have a 10° crosswind correction to hold your track on the inbound leg, fly the outbound leg with 30° correction.  Maintain standard rate turns.

If the ingrown nail is minor, you can lift the nail yourself. Soak the nail to soften it, and then place something underneath the nail to help separate the nail from the skin so it can stop growing into the skin. Try putting clean bits of cotton gauze or cotton balls or dental floss underneath the edge of the ingrown fingernail.  If you are using cotton, take a small piece of cotton and roll it between your fingers so that it forms a cotton tube about ½ inch long. It shouldn’t be too thick, but thick enough to lift the nail away from the skin. Tape one end of the cotton tube on the side of your finger. Lift the corner of the ingrown nail up and out with the opposite hand. Work the free end of the cotton tube under the corner of the nail and out the other side so that the cotton is between the skin and the nail and lifts the nail away from the skin. This can be painful and it can be awkward. The taped end is there to help you maneuver the cotton tube under the corner of the nail. You may need someone’s help in placing the cotton. You can use a dab of a topical antibiotic ointment on your finger to prevent infections. Spread the ointment over the area with a clean Q-tip, then cover with a clean bandage. You should change the bandage and apply more antibiotic ointment daily. Infected ingrown fingernails can cause a lot of pain. To help with this, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for daily dosages. Try acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), or naproxen sodium (Aleve) to help with pain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поднимите ноготь. Нанесите мазь с антибиотиком. Принимайте безрецептурные обезболивающие.


If the ink stamp is light enough, an eraser by itself might do the trick. This will better protect the paper. Pencil erasers are fine as long as they're still soft. If you’re not making any progress after about five minutes, switch to something more abrasive. Any type will work as long as the grit is between 150 and 400. The lower the grit, the higher the abrasiveness. If you’re using thin paper (such as notebook paper), opt for the highest grit possible. Make sure it measures about 1 by 1 inch (2.5 by 2.5 cm). This will be small enough to focus on the ink stamp without affecting the surrounding area. Place several sheets of scrap paper on your work surface. Pile them one on top of the other. This is to cushion your paper from the hard surface of the table so you may avoid tears. The number of sheets will depend on how thin your working paper is. Make sure your work surface is solid. A table should be fine. Clear away anything you won’t need. Place it face-up on top of the scrap paper. Hold it down firmly with your free hand. Be sure to use all of your hand and not just your fingertips. Position this hand so that the inked area of the paper is visible between your thumb and index finger. Make sure the paper is perfectly flat. Work away from your body. Use slow and gentle strokes. Avoid pressing too hard. Be patient. This method can be time-consuming.  As you sand, hold the paper up to the light to make sure you're not in any danger of sanding through. When the sandpaper feels less gritty, you can clean it by holding it up and flicking the back of it. Try erasing the ink as it becomes lighter. This mainly helps with any smearing effects from the sanding. Continue the process. Keep sanding the stamp. As the marks lighten, you can use the eraser to remove what remains. Keep in mind the paper is weaker where you have sanded it, so be as gentle and patient as possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

If the introduction is formal, say "Hello, I'm [first name][last name]."  If it's informal, say "Hi, I'm [first name].  Immediately after you've stated your name, ask for the other person's name by saying "What’s your name?" in a pleasant tone. When you learn the other person's name, repeat it by saying "It's a pleasure to meet you, Pedro" or "Nice to meet you, Caroline." Repeating the person’s name will help you remember it, and give the introduction a more personal touch. or other culturally appropriate greeting. Most cultures have a form of physical contact to accompany a greeting. In the United States, it is often a handshake. Be sure to keep the handshake brief and not too loose (floppy) or firm (bone-breaking).  Be aware of cultural differences. For instance, it is considered rude to firmly shake hands in China. It is often  appropriate to greet with a hug, especially if you’re meeting a friend of a friend or an in-law. Hugs show more openness than a handshake. Women more often than men may prefer a hug to a handshake. In many cultures, it is culturally appropriate to greet with a kiss. In South America, for instance, all women are greeted with one kiss, and in France, women are greeted with one kiss on each cheek.  If you are unsure of the appropriate greeting, follow the other person’s lead or watch how other people greet around you. It’s important to show interest in the other person. Ask where she is from, what she does for a living, or ask about any common bonds you may have. Ask about what she loves to do and the passions she has in life. Show that you are engaged and interested in what she has to say.  You may tell a little bit of your background in order to engage  conversation and share about yourself. Telling someone where you work or that you love rock climbing  is appropriate and may lead to more conversation  topics. Don’t take the opportunity to talk only about yourself. You will come across as selfish or uninteresting . After you've met someone for the first time, you should end the...

TL;DR in Russian:

If the key is beginning to wear, you may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key all the way, then pulling it back out slightly.  Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again.  If this works, the key is likely over worn. You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working. If pulling the key out a bit fails to make the key turn, try wiggling it up and down slightly to engage the pins in the ignition.  Be careful not to apply too much pressure.  Wiggling the key can make the key contact the pins from a different angle, which may allow you start the vehicle.  If wiggling the key works, it means the teeth on the key are too worn to properly engage the pins. Replace the key as soon as possible if this works before the key stops working entirely. If the key is bent, it may make it impossible to insert it completely or turn the ignition cylinder.  Lay the key down on a flat, sturdy surface like a strong table.  Take a heavy rubber or wooden mallet and strike the key from above to flatten it against the table.  You may have to strike the key multiple times in order to flatten it entirely. Avoid using pliers or a vice to straighten the key, as you may bend it too far in the opposite direction and reduce the strength of the key. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder.  Insert the key completely, then slide it back out.  Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder. If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder. If the key is too damaged to work, you will not be able to have it copied.  A copy of a worn or damaged key will also fail to start the vehicle.  Instead, you will need to have a new key cut by a dealership that services your make and model vehicle.  Depending on the vehicle,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем попытаться повернуть ключ, слегка вытяните его из замка. Подвигайте ключом, когда пытаетесь повернуть его. Выровняйте согнутый ключ с помощью деревянного или резинового молотка. Аккуратно подвигайте вставленным в замок ключом вперед и назад. Позаботьтесь о запасном ключе зажигания.


If the kiss doesn't feel right for some reason, you don't have to freak out or jump back. When the kiss is over, take one big step back, clearly showing that kissing is over. It can also help to put your hands non-confrontationally in front of you, palms down, to send a message that creates space. Passions are going to be high right now, so keep this short and sweet. A simple "I don't think this is a good idea right now," is often the best answer, as it keeps you from being mean or starting an argument. Simply state that you don't want to kiss. In circumstances where one or both of you are passionate and emotional, it is usually best to avoid giving reasons or starting arguments. Keep things simple for now, knowing you can explain later. There is no reason to linger around now. You can explain your reasoning later, if need be. For now, just say that "you're sorry" and move on, separating yourself. It will make it easier for everyone to move on if you're not in the same room. If you have a friend who got a little drunk, and ex who had other ideas, or a platonic buddy who wanted something more, then you may feel comfortable explaining why you don't want to get romantic. Know, however, that you don't owe anyone an explanation if you don't want to give one -- simply not wanting to kiss someone is more than enough of a reason not to kiss them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Твердым и уверенным движением прекратите поцелуй. Вежливо сообщите человеку, что не считаете поцелуй хорошей идеей. Удалитесь. Найдите время позже, чтобы объяснить, почему вы не хотели целоваться (если это кажется уместным).


If the knot is a result of an injury, cold should be applied first. Wrap the cold pack in a towel or cloth and apply it to the knot for 15–20 minutes at least three times a day. Do this for the first two or three days after the injury.  You can make a cold pack with 3 cups water and 1 cup of rubbing alcohol. Mix and pour into a resealable bag. Make sure to squeeze all the air out before you freeze it. You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables. Choose ones that are small and uniform in size, such as peas or corn. Note that once you've used these veggies as a cold pack, you won't want to eat them (it's not a good idea to allow frozen food to defrost and then re-freeze it). For frequent or chronic pain, heat works better than ice. Use a heating pad, a hot bath or a shower to do this.  Apply heat for no more than 15–20 minutes at a time, up to three times a day. If moist heat is preferred, you can warm a damp towel for thirty seconds in the microwave. Do not heat the towel too much, or you could burn yourself. Be careful of steam in particular, as steam can cause severe burns. Poor posture, especially while sitting for long periods of time, can cause back pain and knots. Try to be conscious of slouching — that's putting constant pressure on the same muscles.  If you work at a desk, take time to get up and walk around (and stretch) every hour or so. Keep your head from slumping forward when you stand or sit. Slumping can put strain on your shoulders and back and contribute to knots.  If you lift weights, monitor your form. Putting weights down too quickly causes the muscles to forcibly contract, jarring them. When it comes to exercises that can strengthen your back, yoga is certainly up there. It can relieve back soreness in addition to strengthening your muscles and increasing your flexibility. Here are a few positions to try:   The downward-facing dog will help your lower back. It targets your back extensors — those muscles that help you stand and lift objects. Start on all fours. Make sure your knees are...

If the label is stuck firmly to the jar, soak the jar in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then peel the label off. You will likely have lots of paper and/or glue residue left over, which is fine. During this time, the oil will penetrate any glue residue and dissolve it. It will make it easier to remove later on. If you see any residue, you can wipe it off using a paper towel and a few drops of oil.

If the laundry basket is too narrow for the wearer to slip on, you may also need to cut a straight line down the back. The basket will keep its shape, but you will be able to spread it apart enough to slip on if needed. If you cannot find a round laundry basket, you could also use a large, plastic, bucket-shaped toy tub. Hook two white suspenders to the top of the basket and adjust them so that they can cross over the wearer's shoulders.  You could also tie two cords or heavy-duty ribbons to the basket to mimic straps. If using a solid plastic toy tub, use a hot glue gun to glue the straps in place. Each fold should be about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) wide.  Measure the height and circumference of the basket before proceeding. The board you use should be at least as tall as the basket and three times as long as the circumference. If using standard size poster board, you may need to use 5 to 6 sheets. Staple the sheets of poster board together as you fold them. If possible, hide the staples inside the folds. You could also use heavy foil-based wrapping paper instead of poster board. Make an accordion fold by taking your first section of poster board and folding it over the remaining board. Make another section that is equal in width, but fold the board in the opposite direction so that the end of the board is still visible. Continue on in this pattern until the entire board is folded. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the folded board onto the basket. Draw a line of glue onto each inside fold of the board and press it to the basket to fix it in place. Instead of using glue, you could also attach the the board by punching small holes 2 inches (5 cm) away from the top and bottom of the folded board. Punch the holes on the inner folds to conceal them. Loop pipe cleaners or craft wire through these holes and around the cross bars of the basket.

If the leather is wet, or appears to be covered in mold or mildew, you need to remove any dampness quickly. The moisture can damage the leather permanently and create a smell that will be very difficult to get out. There are several simple methods for drying out the leather:  Place the leather in a spot in your home that gets indirect sun. Direct contact with harsh sunlight can cause the leather to crack, chip and wear out. Choose a spot that is by a window that filters sunlight or that is behind a screen. Use a blow-dryer on a low heat setting. Avoid bringing the blow-dryer too close to the leather as this can cause it to crack or chip. Run the blow-dryer at a distance over the leather to soak up the moisture and prevent big water stains on the leather. Use a clean dry cloth to wipe the leather dry, especially if you are trying to treat a pair of leather shoes, a leather jacket, or a leather purse. Skip alcohol based products or odor-masking products, like perfume, and use a clean dry cloth to give the item a good wipe. The chemicals in these products can get into the pores of the leather and possibly damage the item. The porous quality of newspaper and packing paper means they are both great for absorbing any bad smells in your leather item. Always check that the leather item is completely dry and that you are using dry newspapers. The loose fiber in newspaper makes it softer and more absorbent than other options, like office paper.  Crumple up several sheets of newspaper in a box and place the leather item in the newspaper. Close the box and leave it sealed for one to two days. Check the leather item to see if the newspaper has effectively drawn out the bad smell. You may need to leave the item in the newspaper for another day. The acid in the vinegar will help to counteract bad odors and the smell of the vinegar, which could be a bad odor to some, will also dissipate with the any other bad smells in the leather.  Before you use any acid based cleanser on the leather item, do a spot test to make sure it...

If the light was recently on, wait until it is cool to the touch. This shouldn't take more than five minutes for a normal light bulb. Halogen lights may take twenty minutes. The strip should be about 12 inches (30 cm) long, or half as long as your arm. Fold a short section of the duct tape over and stick it to itself. Repeat on the other side. These folded "handles" should be long enough for you to grip, with a sticky segment in between them. If you find it easier, you can wrap the duct tape in a circle instead, with the adhesive on the outside. Make the circle large enough to fit your hand through it. Hold the handles of the duct tape and press the sticky segment against the flat surface of the recessed bulb. Once the tape sticks to the light bulb, you should have enough leverage to get it loose. Almost all light bulbs use standard screw threading, so turn the bulb counterclockwise to unscrew it. If it doesn't budge, read the method below for help removing the surrounding collar. Once the light bulb has emerged enough for you to grip the sides, pull off the duct tape. It's faster at this point to spin the bulb out by hand. Screw in the new light bulb as far as you can by hand. When it's nearly flush, stick on the duct tape and turn clockwise to tighten to a secure fit.

TL;DR in Russian:

If the live bait needs to remain alive and natural looking for as long as possible, you can attach it with a secure bridle rather than a damaging hook. Have a more experienced fisher make a bridle for you, or follow the instructions for Making a Bridle to create your own. You can do this through the eye sockets above or in front of the eyes (not through them), or through a hole in its back near the head. You can use an open eye live bait needle instead of a crochet needle. Use the end of the needle to catch the loop end of the bridle and draw it through the fish. Keep hold of the loop so the fish's wriggling doesn't pull it back out again. You should now be able to let go of the line and just keep hold the hook and fish. This takes up slack in the line and brings the hook closer to the fish. Do this until there's only a small gap between the fish's head and the twists in the line. Thread the hook point between the two sides of the loop, just above the fish's head. If the bridle rig was made correctly, you should be able to use your live bait for hours without it escaping or dying. But let's hope you catch something before then!

If the lock in question is not attached to your own home, secure the property-owner's permission before proceeding.  Breaking and entering is a serious crime in most places that can result in mandatory jail time. The ideal card will be a plastic card that is both stiff and somewhat flexible.  Avoid using your actual credit or debit card, as it may get damaged in the process.  A grocery store loyalty card makes an ideal choice, as does a laminated library card.  Even a stiff business card will work on some locks.
