How to seek religion? Starting point: agnostic.
I find myself interested in religious practice as I get older. However I have a long history of agnosticism that I am finding difficult to reconcile with potential faiths. Additionally, I am not trying to sign up for something that pits me against other people based on their creed/sexuality/gender/etc. Can you help me square this circle? [more inside]
Converting groups of TIFFs to a single PDF/
I have sets of 10-20 individual TIFFs that I need to convert into single PDFs - so far, I'm stumped as to how to do this seemingly simple task. [more inside]
Gig site that doesn't lock workers in?

ebikes - conversion kit vs dedicated model
I'm considering getting an ebike (mid-drive with torque sensing) and am debating two possible paths: either converting my existing commuter bike, which I have known and loved dearly, using a kit (TSDZ2), or selling my bike and purchasing a new, dedicated ebike from a reputable brand. [more inside]
Converting Super 8 / 8mm Movies to Digital Files in 2023?
What's the best but not frighteningly expensive way to get seven 50-year-old Super 8 movies converted from the ancient reels my little brother is about to send me to durable digital files that I can both share with family and edit myself? [more inside]

Seeking boys' size jeans to women's size jeans conversion.
Would a boys size 18 jeans fit a woman who wears size 6 women's jeans? I've googled until I'm blue in the face to try to find the answer. I've considered the brick and mortar route to find some to try on, but I'd rather just order online. However, I'd like to get an idea before I order as to how steep the odds are that I'd have to return the jeans because they don't fit.

Gift for a New Convert to Judaism?
After a long process and a lot of deep work, my brother just completed the process of converting to Judaism. I know this was a meaningful and important experience for him, and since I live far away and am unable to mark the occasion in person, I would like to send him a small gift to recognize what has been a very transformative time in his life.

Can I convert to Judaism without siding against Palestinians?

Problem with video files
Help. I have some mp4 video clips that somehow were aligned 90 degrees horizontal. I used a video converter to convert them to .avi thinking that would help me realign them to vertical which it did. But now, although when I play them in preview they're fine, when I plug them into my video editing software, I only get the audio track. Nothing I do gives me the video portion of the clip. What am I doing wrong? [more inside]

What apps or settings are crucial for a Mac-to-Windows convert?
After 17 years or so only using Macs I recently grabbed a mid-level Windows ultrabook to use when working remotely. I've got the basics for my job set up but would love suggestions - either in terms of apps or just settings or methods - for how to make this transition go smoother. Specific requests inside!

Converting to islam guides?
A family member is converting to marry a long-time partner. The usual center for classes here has suspended the classes during covid19, so we would like to get a head start on what they need to know. I'm very wary of youtube because of bias, straight-out weirdos & misinformation, but they learn best through audio or video, not books. Can you recommend a mainstream and moderate source for conversion lessons online? (NB: I am taking some of the lessons alongside to better understand the new family member's faith, this is a neutral topic for our family).
PDFs created from screencap PNGs much bigger than scanned JPG ones. Why?
I've only recently started making PDFs (using Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac) from loose image files. The 200 DPI grayscale scanned JPGs, when collected together to make a PDF, produced a single PDF only somewhat smaller than the total size of the JPGs included in it. (For example, a 28.5 MB folder of JPGs resulted in a PDF of 25.5 MB; one of around 85 MB resulted in a PDF around 81 MB.) [more inside]

Cast-iron tub to shower; convert or replace?
A beloved aging parent can no longer safely step over the edge of the tub for a shower. I've found conversion options here and here that cut out a section of the tub to create a walk-in shower. Is this really reliable in a mid-century cast-iron (not claw-foot) tub? Is it better to have it taken out and replaced with a walk-in shower?
Why Adobe won't save in PDF/X-1a:2001 format
I am trying to upload a .pdf file to a publisher. They require the file to be in a specific .pdf format. I have been on the phone with both the publisher and Adobe for days. Neither has been able to help me convert the file to the format the publisher needs. Has anybody else had this problem and what did you do to fix if? Is it fixable? [more inside]

XLS -> Zotero
I’m a writer. I just came across a messy but accessible gold mine of a digital archive, spun up a web scraper, and now have several thousand primary source documents in hand, along with a single Excel spreadsheet with extensive data on each document. I use Zotero to manage my research materials. Unfortunately, the team behind Zotero still thinks that importing data from Excel into Zotero is a fringe use case, and there is no way to do it directly. Is there a workaround? [more inside]
Scanning printed numbers into Excel
I've been asked to copy ISBNs or similar identifying numbers from thousands of hard copy books, in to Excel. Is there an efficient way of doing this? I'm hoping for a technique that's easier than typing each number into a spreadsheet. For example, is there an app/device that will OCR selected text on a printed page (and exclude surrounding text)? Can the same app/device transfer the OCRed numbers in to a simple text/csv file - or directly in to Excel? [more inside]
PDF or PNG to high quality JPG
I've got a print quality PNG and a print quality PDF of a image for a Christmas Card, and I need to convert one of them to a JPG so I can upload it to Shutterfly. All the online converters I've found result in JPGs that are too low resolution for printing. I only have a chromebook at my disposal. How can I convert this image right now so I can get this Christmas card ordered tonight?

I have an old computer not connected to the internet (Mac OSX 10.6.8) (not my main computer) with some old audio files (Audacity 1.3.14-beta) archived on it. I would like to hear some suggestions for the easiest way to share these audio files online. [more inside]
Batch Conversion: doc to docx without M Office
Google search is inconcluisve, so I turn to you, dear hivemind. I need to convert a large number of DOC files to DOCX. I do not have Microsoft Office, but I do have Open Office (which doesn't let you save as DOCX, afaik). I have found single conversion tools online, but a single document takes 5 mins to convert. I am not confident enough to run any sort of command prompt.
What solutions exist that I cannot find?

US tax Roth IRA ladder conversion/recharacterization questions
I'm looking into using a "Roth conversion ladder" to periodically convert some of my money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, which I can then withdraw five years later in a tax-advantaged manner, despite being younger than the typical age to withdraw funds from IRAs. I have several questions about this. [more inside]

Converting to Judaism: Your Experiences
I'm strongly considering converting to Judaism. I've heard about the process during a class that I'm taking, but I'd like more insight into what actually goes on. I would be converting through a Reform synagogue. If anyone has experiences or tips to share, please do so. Thanks for your help!

Evangelical conversion to pickup-artist culture: Why so common?
It has been point out anecdotally - in this comment and others - that there seem to be a lot of former Evangelicals in PUA culture. Is this a real connection, or an artefact of the fact that Evangelicals were having a lot of kids in the '70s and '80s and thus there are a lot of former Evangelicals everywhere? If it is a real connection, what does (or did) Evangelicalism teach that both a) prepares the ground for PUA conversion and b) causes the converted to describe PUA culture as the opposite of everything they were taught growing up about sex, women, and relationships?

Best option for converting irreplaceable cassettes to digital format?

Converting from UK to Japanese power?
I'm travelling from the UK to Japan in November, and have just realised that the mains supply stuff we are taking with us (phone/tablet charger with USB cable, camera battery charger for a Canon dslR) will require voltage conversion, not just an adaptor plug. This confuses me a little bit. Are there any recommended converters I should be looking at that will easily pack into luggage, or should I be looking at getting a Japanese usb charger/camera battery charger off of eBay before we go?

What are some one-to-one comparisons of standard and metric units?
I'm looking for a resource or, failing that, some outright suggestions of one-to-one comparisons for standard and metric units. I am tutoring a third grader with some learning disabilities who needs a simple visualization. In other words, I'm looking for a resource that says, "A meter is as long as a dalmatian" or "a foot is as big as your dad's foot." This is less easily googleable than I expected. Things like Scale of the Universe are neat, but I need a simple one-to-one relationship. [more inside]
Converting PDF to JPEG?
I want to take my original art and sell prints and such on Society6. I don't have a scanner so I took the three pieces to Staples and they scanned them onto a jump drive for me. I didn't think to say, "hey can you scan these as JPEG," and when I opened the files at home they're all PDF. [more inside]

Converting single family to 3-family in Boston
I am thinking of buying a brownstone in Boston as an investment property. It contains three apartments, but the legal status is currently only one-family. Historically it was a legal three-family, but previous owners changed the occupancy to one family in1973. There are currently three totally separate apartments that are being rented despite it only being a one family. My question is what is the procedure and cost to get it back to legal three family status? [more inside]
Convert water measurement into speed measurement?
I have a hose that can put out water at 60 litres per second (16 gallons per second) and I want to know if this hose can roughly replicate a wind speed of 275 kilometres per hour (170mph). We will put an object right in front of the hose - so there will be little pressure fall-off from the hose.
Is this conversion measurement at all possible? I don't mind if the answer is a little approxiamate.
Document conversion
How to turn 23 PDFs of at least 65 pages each, in column format, created in QuarkXpress into Word, without having the text made into nonsense by Word deciding there's only one column when there are sometimes two and a pull quote. Any ideas? (Getting Quark is not an option). [more inside]
Good place to get super-8mm home movies put on DVDs in NYC?
Lots of home movies, some are super-8, some are tapes, some are mini-DV tapes, etc. I'd like to get them put on DVDs that I can then easily edit. I'm in Manhattan, NYC. thanks (oh a long time ago there was another question like this and somebody suggested a mail-order place, but I don't feel comfortable sending off my precious home movies from the 1950s etc. away)
Charter digital conversion, the end of cable?
We just received notice (so far just an automated phone message) that Charter is switching to 100% digital signal on their cable TV system, and as a result we would be required to get a cable box. Now, part of Charter's signal is on analog channels, and part is on digital, and the tuner in our TV can locate them all. Does tis mean that post-conversion all the channels will be beyond the range of the tuner in our recent-vintage LG TV? We have the 3-way bundle with Charter for phone, broadband internet, and cable TV all at their lowest level of service, the TV is called "Basic cable." I understand they are phasing this in, so I'm wondering if someone who already has experienced this could comment on what was the result. [more inside]
