Answer to:
Could I get into trouble for trying to take road flares on an international flight exiting the USA? You certainly can't carry them aboard. You MAY be able to ship them to yourself provided that you work it out with the airline in advance. Perhaps you remember ValuJet flight 592 that crashed in the Florida Everglades (1996) killing all 110 people aboard. Some mis-labeled oxygen canisters were being carried illegally as cargo. ValueJet Airlines went bankrupt over that incident.

Answer to:
What is the maximum safe distance for a residential 20 amp 120 volt circuit when using 12/2 AWG NM Romex wire? According to the National Electrical Code the current-carrying capacity of any wire is determined by the temperature rating of its insulation. Common ratings for 12 gauge wire are 60C (21 amps), 75C (28 amps), and 85C (30 amps). But wait, that is not the final answer. Again, according to the NEC, overcurrent protection for 12 gauge wire shall not exceed 20 amps. Furthermore, good design...

Answer to:
if you r in a rocket and u keep goin up even in space just go striaight up wat is there beyond space? Since mathematics can't compute with zero and/or infinity, the universe is arbitrarily defined as the portion of space that contains matter. (Infinity is the answer you get when you divide any number by zero.) If you could see beyond the zone where matter exists, you would see NOTHING. If you were to travel there in person, YOU would be there and so by definition the observable universe would...

Wait to see what happens and don't worry about it.

Answer to:
When and where was the first calendar compiled? Archaeologists have unearthed notched bones that are at least 20,000 years old. They think these were used to mark the passage of time long before early man had developed written language. In my opinion, notched bones do not a calendar make, but it does show that man was interested in the passage of time. Most likely the calendar would have been one of the first uses of writing when it was...

Why can't you use a cell phone on an airplane? All electronic equipment is forbidden to operate on commercial aircraft from the time the doors are closed until the pilot says it is safe to use them - usually above 10,000 feet altitude. The problem is the possibility of interference with the plane's own electronic equipment. Cell phones are a special case that are forbidden the entire time the plane is in flight. The problem is that...

Is it legal for me to secretly record what my husband does in our house while I'm away? You didn't say what the reason was for wanting to spy on your husband inside your own home. Domestic matter? Civil? Criminal? If criminal, go to the police. This is not for amateur sleuths. If civil, hire a lawyer. If a domestic situation is troubling you and you can't discuss it openly with your husband, see a marriage counselor. Marriage is supposed to be an equal...

Is it possible to determine what someone is typing by listening to the clicking of the keyboard? What is a typewriter? Oh yes, I remember. They are an ancient device about the size of a breadbox that was used to "print" neatly. It was considered an advancement over handwriting. Today they are found mostly in museums and occasionally for filling out forms with multiple carbon copies. I highly doubt that any software program could figure out which letters are being typed on a...

Answer to:
Batteries come in AAA, AA, C and D sizes. Why not B? To confuse things even more, batteries used to be given alphabetic labels to indicate their application. For example "B" batteries were long skinny things that put out 90 volts. They were used primarily for plate voltage in vacuum tube portable radios before the invention of the transistor made them obsolete. "A" batteries were 1.5 volts and used heat the filamets. There...

Answer to:
Why is it so difficult for an exploration spacecraft from Earth to reach Mercury? Getting to Mercury isn't all that difficult. The closeness of the Sun makes temperature regulation of the electronics problematical. Beyond that there is little interest in Mercury because the extreme temperatures preclude the presence of water and therefore no hope of finding signs of life.

Which religion is "right"? Every 3-year old child passes through the "why" phase. No matter what you tell him or her, their response is "why?" All religions attempt to answer that little child in all of us. Since nobody really knows the answer to why we are here, answers are invented that seem to satisfy on some level. Some strongly believe that they know the answer. My question to them is "...

Answer to:
If a star is light years away so it takes years for its light to reach us, can scientists tell if the star is actually still there and that it hasn't gone supernova or died out? I think what the person who asked the original question meant was; is there any way (other than visual observation) to know whether a star still exists if it lies many light years away from earth? The simple answer to that question is no. Electromagnetic radiation travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. Looking with your eyes or listening with a radio telescope are the...

My MP3 player has a lithium ion battery - is it better to let it drain before charging or can I just charge it whenever? According to Battery University dot com: "A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges." B.U. goes on to say that...
