Q:The vent is a little bigger without the rubber bitIs there something I can put on it until I have a new lid?

You don't really even need to replace it since slow cookers (including the brand called Crock Pot) don't create an air-tight cooking situationSome of the steam needs to escape or pressure would build up inside and the lid would get pushed offSome of the steam will also escape around the rim of the lid of a slow cookerThe idea is just to allow only some of the steam to escape though, and not enough to make it too hard for the slow cooker to maintain a temperature inside or to dry out the food too muchIf you want, you could always make the hole smaller in some way but wouldn't be necessaryFor example, you could use a piece of tape across part of the hole (then remove after cooking) though it might loosen from the steam coming out, or even put a piece of food across part of the hole, or cut an eraser so it would fit partly in the hole without falling in, or lay something over the hole but not air tight like perhaps a piece or cup of aluminum foil or just about anything You could also see if any of the o-rings sold at hardware and electronics places, etc, would fit your exact holeOr you could actually make your own o-ring from various materials, and even fom a 2-part silicone putty (costs around $20 but you'd have lots left over for all kinds of uses)(I think some of the other answerers were thinking of some kind of rubber edging around the perimeter of the lid rather than around only the tiny vent hole you mentioned.)

Q:I'm sending a graphics card back for return tommorow but have no anti-static bags - I don't want it to blow in transit and have my return denied because of that, but they cant expect me to return it in the original non resealable bag.so, I need a makeshift option and tin foil was suggested somewhere.

Yes, aluminum foil is completely conductive and a circuit board completely wrapped in it is isolated from electric fields The only thing to be aware of, is that it tears easilyUsed it oftenWorks so well, it is opaque to airport inspection equipment, so the bags got opened a lot.

When a space shuttle is forced (by bad weather) to land somewhere other than Florida, it must be flown back to Cape Canaveral on the back of a modified Boeing 747It's an expensive procedure, so NASA lands in Florida whenever possibleantwrp.gsfc.nasa /apod/image/0Note the fairing around the shuttle engines, which reduces drag.

Q:I'm debating what kinda of drum sticks to buy, I want sticks that are very light, but are 5A or 5AB/AN size. Do the Ahead aluminum sticks damage cymbals and rims? Any reccomendations on drum sticks?

I don't think they would hurt anything but you would have no real rimshot with aluminum.

Q:So i just moved into my apartment and i have yet to buy a big skillet, all i have is baby skillets but i have a ton of hamburger helper boxesi was thinking since i do have a big baking pan i wonder if it would kinda be the same idea if i just cook the hamburger meat than throw all the stuff together in the baking pan and cook it in the ovenThink it'll work? Or will it just not cook the same?

i do not even know the thickness of the yarn, so i cannot tell you.

Q:I'm teaching myself about radio waves (I'm still very armature)I built a circuit which hooks up to my computer's RS232 serial port, it can send small amounts of text to another computer in range .But the range goes too far , so i cant really do practical experimentsand I don't have the space todo these things out side.I'm using a crystal oscillator, but i want the signal to not go further than lets say 1 meter with a 5 cm scooby wire as the antennae, so that i can mess around with different types of antenna's on small scale

Probably the easiest way is to insulate the circuits by putting them in a plastic bag or wrapping them with paper so they don't short out, then partially wrapping with aluminum foil with one end of the assembly open to let signal in and outYou can adjust the signal level by shaping the foilYou wouldn't do this with a high power transmitter, where the power will go someplace that might be bad, but for low power it is handy.

Q:my grandpa cooks these red potatoes in foil and grills them for 45 minsi dont have a grill, can i just bake them in foil? if so how long?

Do the same thing as on the grill, but put them in the oven on 350 degreesThey should take about the same amount of time.
