Where do you see see your self five and ten years from now?

I'm 15 and I have no idea where I see myself in 5 and ten years. Where do you see yourself five and ten years down the road?

Ten years ago I was 13 years old and I saw myself as a professional skateboarder. Five years ago I was 18 and I saw myself as a rock star. Here I am at 23 and I am an investment banker.

How much petroleum does one barrel of oil produce, in barrels, is it, two, five or ten or more?

Does a barrel of oil produce one barrel of petroleum, five barrels, ten barrels or 100 barrels. This figure is never mentioned when we're talking about the cost of oil and the cost of petroleum at the pumps. I live in Canada and when oil goes up slightly, we often see a change of 10 cents a litre at the pumps. Just wondering.

One barrel of crude oil produces much less than one barrel of petrol. Crude oil is actually a mixture of lots if different petroleum products, from the very light Propane, through petrol and diesel, up to heavy fuel oils. The refining process splits the crude into its separate components. In simply terms, you heat the oil to a low temperature, and the light oils boil off. Collect the vapour and condense it to form the light oils such as propane (which has to be cooled to be a liquid - it's a gas at room temp) Hexane, Septane, Octane (aka petrol) etc. Then heat it a bit further and you get the slightly heavier oils come off, such as parafine, Kerosene, Diesel, etc. What you get left with at the end of the process is a black heavy sludge called heavy fuel oil, which is use as an industrial fuel in boilers, etc.

So one barrel of crude will give you a only few litres of many different oils. The proportions vary depending on where the oil comes from.

I want to know any tablets or powder/medicines by which my female partner gets sex urge in five or ten minutes?

I want to know any tablets or powder/medicines by which my fermale partner gets sex urge in five or ten minutes?

I'm not really sure. Hormones may play a role in it. If she's on her period or pregnant that can cause her to want more sex. As for pills or tablets, there is one that my husband took to help him out called Yohimbe. I also heard chocolate can be a natural aphordisiac. Good luck.

How do electric bill counters and snack machines determine one dollar bills from five/ten/etc dollar bills?

I'm working on a school project where I make a circuit board to emulate a snack machine and I'm wondering how to make a sensor that does this... but I don't know how to tell a one from a five without using some kind of image scanner/filtering program and thats obviously not how it works since that sort of thing would be too expensive to add to a simple coke machine. Does anyone know how this sort of thing is done in the real-world industry?

You'd be surprised what goes into a "simple coke machine."

"Also known as bill validators or bill acceptors, paper currency detectors scan pliant currency using optical and magnetic sensors. Upon validation, the bill validator will inform the vending machine controller (VMC) or other host device of a credit via a parallel or serial interface. Various interfaces exist for the host device including a single-line pulse interface, a multi-line parallel interface, a multi-line binary interface, and serial interfaces such as ccTalk, SSP, MDB2PC and MDB2USB."
