That kind of depends on what help you need. For example, if you are looking for some facial feminisation surgery, you may find what you need at expertsexchange.com.
I thought the white drapes were so that the drones could easily track the stick's position?
Says the people who load it into the nose of the nearest passing elephant?
Alternatively, the torso or midsection of the car, because that's where the 'trunk' obviously is?

Look, if you want to play the 'mess with the wording rather than address the issues' game, we can:
"A clip has always meant a a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into a gun. It's just that it used to be non-mechanical, and now it's got a feed mechanism."

Ethernet: 1500/(38+1500) = 97.5293 %
TCP: (1500-52)/(38+1500) = 94.1482 %
You are correct about the lmgtfy link, that was supposed to be a google.com/search?q=hellban link instead. Must have been a brainfart or typo or something. Can you imagine how embarrased I must be?
This technique is widely used against trolls on various Internet forums. It is often called 'Hellbanning'
