how can i get rid of scratches on my psp case screen (can't play due to so many scratches)?




Reaper~of~


i have heard that you can use sandpaper or something but doesn't that make more scratches, and if it doesn't tell me what to do please.


Answer
There is a polishing compound called "ice cream" which is specifically made for removing scratches from psp, ipod, cell phone, and many other acrylic screen covers.

It is made by a company called "Rad Tech" - their website where you can order "ice cream" can be found here: http://www.radtech.us/products/IceCreme.aspx

Be prepared to rub vigorously for a good 20-40 minutes or longer! Alternatively you can use an electric buffing tool such as a "Drexel" which will take the scratches out in about a minute.

"Ice Cream" is a little expensive--($20.95--don't bother with the "M" version as it's for metal), but does work well. Alternatively, I've heard people claim good results from using a metal compound polisher called "Brasso" which you can pick up at your local grocery store for under $5. Don't know if I'd trust it, but if it doesn't work, then you could switch to "ice cream".

What does 100g of ice cream look like?




Sarah


I just ate a lot of vanilla ice cream with 190 calories per 100g. I want to know what 100g looks like. Is there a link? Or could you compare it to something for me? Eg. a tennis ball? Golf ball? iphone charger? etc...


Answer
HEAVEN.


but seriously you already ate the ice cream....no point in figuring out how many calories you consumed now...lol but I guess a weird backwards way would be t check how many servings are in the ice cream and then see what fraction of the ice cream would be that amount of calories (e.g. 190 calories/100g and theres three servings..that means if you ate about 1/3 of the ice cream then you had consumed around 100g) lol idk this is probably the laziest roundabout way to do it haha

What is the best way to keep a container of ice cream fresh in the freezer?

Q.


Answer
I just did a tour of the Blue Bell ice cream factory in Brenham, Texas -- they said to cover the ice cream with plastic wrap before replacing the lid and it will give a nice tight seal. I think it would also help to press the wrap down to the level of the ice cream to push the air away from the surface of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn.

Zip up hoodie?




Manuel M


Could someone tell me the proper name for the hoodies with all the elaborate designs that zip all the way up the hood. Or a website to get them from, or anything. The internet sucks and its pissing me off.


Answer
Its not just one company, although A Bathing Ape (aka BAPE) and Billionaire Boys Club are the 2 most common.

Billionaire Boys Club/ Ice Cream:
bbcicecream.com

A Bathing Ape:
bape.com (u have to actually download the site, and they dont sell stuff online)

3peat.jp (one of the few sites that sell legit BAPE)

the store the above person listed sells fake shit btw, just like 98% of the BAPE online. This is becuz the company doesn't outsource their product to retailers. If u care if its genuine or not.

Mosquito Traps ("mosquito machines", "insect catchers ")
These devices use propane, electricity or both to generate heat and carbon dioxide - the same elements which attract mosquitos to humans. Most also attract mosquitoes with Octenol or Lurex - scents which are odorless to humans but irresistable to the insects. Mosquitos are drawn into the traps and killed. Insect traps which use propane should never be used in an enclosed space. They can be very effective at protecting large areas of up to an acre or more.

The first generation of these machines were large and unsightly, newer mosquito traps are much nicer looking and technology that was problematic (notably the ignition systems) has been greatly improved. Smaller, modestly-priced units using some of the same technologies are available for small areas like patios.

For information and reviews of specific products, see our mosquito traps comparison chart.

The best way to use mosquito traps
A lot of the negative feedback you'll see for mosquito traps is because new owners didn't use them properly!

Mosquito traps don't REPEL mosquitos, these machines ATTRACT the mosquitos and then kill them. It also takes a while for them to lure and kill a large local population. Buying a mosquito catcher in the afternoon and putting the unit in the middle of your big neighborhood barbeque that same night is a sure recipe for turning your party into an itchy, buggy disaster!

A mosquito machine should be placed a good distance from where people are congregating (ideally, 35' or more), preferably upwind. Place mosquito traps on the perimeters of your yard, not in the middle of your activity area, and set them to run 24/7 or at least daily during peak insect activity times (dawn and dusk) at first. After several days they will have begun to kill off the existing colonies and you'll be well on your way to a mosquito-free yard!

Bug "Zappers"
These are the electrified devices which emit ultraviolet light to attract and "zap" bugs. However besides killing mosquitoes, they also kill many other insects, including benign ones. And unfortunately, they do little to reduce the mosquito population because mosquitos aren't particularly interested inultraviolet light! Estimates say that usually less than 3% of the insects killed by "zappers" are mosquitos. Battery-powered, handheld bug zappers are also available online. We don't recommend these for mosquito control.

Ultrasonic Devices
These are small electric or battery-operated devices that emit ultrasonic sounds. They claim to repel mosquitos (and mice, rats, hornets, spiders, even fleas). In our experience, they are useless (except possibly against mice), and in some devices the noise is in a range that can still be heard by humans and house pets - those can be rather annoying.

Citronella, Mosquito Coils, scent based insect inhibitors
One of the oldest mosquito repelling standbys, citronella candles and mosquito coils are fairly effective in their immediate area. They act by producing a scent which repels the mosquitos. Anything with a flame can be a fire hazard - take proper precautions!

Geraniol is another natural, essential oil which repels mosquitos much in the same way as Citronella. Several companies have also developed proprietary scent products.

Mosquito "Dunks"
Mosquito dunks are round tablets which dissolve in water and contain bacteria harmful to mosquito larvae. Used in ponds, fountains and bird baths, they are very effective and non-toxic to birds, ornamental fish and plants (follow the label guidelines). You should keep pets away from the treated water.

Yard treatments and sprays
A variety of yard sprays and treatments are available, both organic/natural and chemically-based. Effectiveness varies. For safety reasons, read the label before using and follow all cautions and recommendations.
