[ot_caving] I need four 1/4" steel balls

I measured a difference of 6mm between AA and AAA batteries. In order to charge L-ion AAA batteries in my AA charger, I need four conductors to take up the slack. I figured 6mm is about .2456". Brass, Bronze or Copper would also work. -thanks, WaVy

Oh yeah - I regularly watch Pat R. For a few minutes at a time, I love it. Sometimes I can't get enough of his totally skewed point of view. It so defies logic and sensibility that I find it more entertaining than just about any blasphemous comedian. I love to hear him talk about "...the liber

Pat R. is, in my humble opinion, a bigoted-ignorant fool.  He & Jerry Falwell are cut from the same cloth...and should be, for the betterment of all humankind, rendered incapable of procreation.  Would that, by Pat's definition, make his marriage a "problem"...??   Fallwell, you may remember, cl
