Might’ve been something he said.

Yeah, others have noted this: I’m not surprised or concerned that electric cars can explode. Newsflash: gasoline explodes too.

I have two outdoor shirts and some shorts and pants from The North Face that are pushing 15 years that I still wear regularly and it looks fine stylistically. Their newer stuff doesn’t seem as good except in limited circumstances. I have outdoor clothing from Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, and Prana that ranges between…

I’m always fascinated by people who do everything they can to make it as hard as possible to raise a child and then blame the parents when something goes wrong. It’s kind of sociopathic.

This is also true of full-size vans, which for me is also just as much of a problem, especially for passenger vans and conversions.

not clear to me how good of an idea this is now that we are moving to the new USB 3.1 connector. If the industry can guarantee that USB will be around for as long as the US power plug, then I’ll reconsider.

I agree with the author, don’t brake check.

aye!

Eh, mixed feelings about this. While I agree with the bulk of the article, I would say, if the company you are working for is not your friend, then you shouldn't be working for them. Period. Of course if you are in any risk of a legal entanglement, then you should be aware that you can't rely on the company for…

Being disciplined is not antithetical to learning. The reason why the instructions are so specific and in all caps is because there are groups of people that ignore the instructions accidentally and another group that is looking for ways to cheat, or at least, game the system.

well, I agree with this sentiment, but mainly because I only like the antique kind with the smooth surfaces, of which I own one skillet and one dutch oven, the former being 80+ years old and the latter being I think about 50+.

I know how to hold them correctly (and they match up with #6). (My Korean spouse helps in that department.) But I knowingly hold them slightly differently. I've tried the correct way a ton of times but I can't get the hang of it. But you don't show how I hold them so no matter. At least three of the positions you…

I seriously considered the Outback, but it's grown to SUV proportions. I wish there were still a Legacy wagon that was a bit sporty. But really, I'm locked out of Subaru at this point in my life. With a family and kids I need a three row SUV or minivan, and that's currently not on the list at Subaru. But it's…

I tried it, it was buggy, so I stopped using it. I just updated to the current rev, but it looks like it's still beta or whatnot. I'll see if it does what it did before (which was too much CPU utilization when it was supposed to be idle).

I own three ram mounts - one for each car and an iPad mount for the car I drive long distance in for work (yes, I look like a police officer in an unmarked car when they are all installed). I also own about 8 - 10 other mounts that date back to my Dell Axim PDA days. Several of those mounts are quite nice and…

yeah, the Brits should be shuttling the Queen around in that thing—one pile of awesome. I wish it were still flying.

yeesh... an awesome way to double your electric bill. I did that one year, had three 1500w oil heaters in my house. I won't do that again.

going to Walmart with the intent to invoke their price match is certainly one of my definitions of shopping hell. The first thing you need to do is get a human, which in the store is dicey. The second thing: get a human who can actually help you do the price match, yet even more dicey. And third, wait forever while…

I'm not sure how much a properly inflated ball vs one underinflated would weigh. Isn't that a pretty small amount?

oddly enough, about a week ago I did the exact same thing in a 2006 Sonata— folded the seat down, stuck my legs in the trunk, and crashed. I had a down sleeping bag, so I was warm, despite it dropping to about freezing overnight. My biggest problem? Street Lights... I managed my coat over the window on one side of…
