Will my car last after shop forgot oil after an oil change and drove it 14 miles?

The main job of engine oil is to get the heat out of the core of the engine & into the coolant jacket that's around the engine. The bearings can melt without oil, but there won't be any major malfunction for awhile. And, whatever they say they 'will' do - GET IT IN WRITING....

What is a DVD camcorder vs a mini DV camcorder?

Jimi Hendrix Mcfarlane Figure?

A couple years back I walked the isles of my local FYE and saw some Jimi Hendrix Mcfarlane action figures. Back then I wasn't much into hendrix and didn't think much of it. Fast forward a couple years, I am now a huge Jimi Hendrix fan and recently remembered the neat potential desk ornament. But to my dismay, the prices of these now coveted toys have skyrocketed to over 100 dollars!! It kills me to know that I could have scooped up a few of them when they were 14.99 and as plentiful as air, just a few short years ago. I tried to buy them off ebay, but all of the sealed mint condition figures are going for hundreds! And the ones with slight blemishes on the package that are within my price range always slip out of my grasp. I tried looking at my local newbury comics, FYE, and even local toy stores to see if there are any still floating around. I guess my question is, has anyone seen these coveted collectors items in any local comic, record, or toy stores? Or am I going to have to spend more of my time in the chaotic abyss that is Ebay???

Why is the clinic office complaining of being paid in pennies?

A recent news story which is below, states that the office clerk called police after a man paid his 25 dollar bill in pennies. Pennies is legal tender. So which is better -- defaulting on payment or paying in pennies? There are 3600 seconds in one hour. counting up to 2500 should take 42 minutes to 45 minutes. If you are being paid 25 dollars for 45 minutes, that is not bad. That's a rate of 33 dollars per hour. Most of us would love to get such pay. Also I wonder, if 250,000 dollars are being paid in cash using 2500 hundred dollars bill, would the merchant refuse to accept? I think he won't call the police for getting 2500 hundred dollar bills?

Terraria Merchant wont spawn?

I have 1 room that isn't being used by any other npc's, it has no open areas and the walls are made of wood, as are the background walls. I have 4 chairs and 2 tables, alot of torches (more than 10), and 2 doors. I have more than 50 silver in my inventory and the merchant wont spawn. What am I doing wrong?

I think I have an eating disorder of some sort?

I've been doing this since probably 5th grade, and im going into 8th grade now. basically i'll be really careful about what I eat, counting calories and over exercising. and then a few days later, I'll go totally overboard and load up on junk food. then i'll feel totally guilty and starve myself. It feels like i've been doing this for so long that it would seem weird not to tighten my abs to avoid having a slight pooch, or weird not to look in the window or mirror everywhere i go, wondering if i look fat. but now I feel like my eating habits are stunting my growth because im not getting the nutrients i need. basically, i don't even know how to start to change my ways because i've been this way for so long.
