True, however all of those considerations fall outside of the break-even point where the garden pays for itself. At that point, as long as replacement parts/pods cost less than the entire kit, any added expense would be covered.

I enjoy our herb garden for convenience, but I’m interested in the economics. Let’s say you can get 1 bunch per “pod” per 2 weeks, and a bunch of herbs cost $2.5 at a supermarket.

$45, 3 pod: pays for itself in 12 weeks
$100, 6 pod: pays for itself in 13.3 weeks
$196, 9 pod: pays for itself in 17.6 weeks

I’m impressed! I made some hobo wine with some wine yeast in store-bought tangerine juice on a lark, and it stank and tasted awful so I never pursued it further. Please let me know how yours goes, since mine was just a one-off and definitely not quality ingredients.

Kevin — might this be a reason to have no password on your computer? I’m having a hard time imagining how someone would activate Prey without having my password.

Ideally, you want to drive you car to just before it breaks completely. The difference between getting $2000 selling a working old car and $500 for a broken one is worth upgrading cars a year early, no?

Why do I have to install the stupid app before I’m allowed to access the web-based version on my desktop? That seems needless.

I bought a waterproof case of a different brand but the same design, and I must say I’m impressed. It worked for me, though I only went into 5 ft of water, but for hours at a time. No problems thus-far!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This thing is awesome, especially with the waffle plates!

Got it, yeah. There’s only one beer I actually prefer /not/ pouring into a pint glass, for whatever reason, and that’s Belhaven Scottish from a can. Delicious stuff, but I’m not sure why I prefer its canned version straight from the can over bottled, bottle poured, and can poured.

Whatever you do, don’t do this. 2 Tbsp is 1 oz, which costs about $8. Beyond cost, that is WAY too much truffle flavor for 1/2 cup of ketchup.

It’s back! I just got it! GOGOGO!

Unless your favorite breweries do something strange with their cans, there should be no flavor downsides to using a can. In fact, a can protects a beer from skunking since it keeps out all light! Some green-bottled beers can benefit from slight skunking, but other than those, I go cans all the way.

Not for me. My waist is anywhere from 38 inches if I’m slouching (27.8% body fat) to 34 inches when I’m sucking it in (19.3% body fat). That’s a huge range, and the site doesn’t give any tips to how to measure yourself, so I can see a lot of people screwing this up.

Complete Nutrition. For the life of me, I can’t find anywhere on their webpage where they advertise the InBody testing machine. It may be that not all stores have them, but my local one does. I’d suggest calling lots of supplement stores near you to find out, including GNC as whiskertriscuit suggested.

You can track your body fat and muscle weight for free, if you know where to go. There’s a nutritional supplement store (read: protein powder everywhere) near me that has an InBody machine. You take off your socks and step on two electrodes, then grab one more with each hand. After about 30 seconds you get your

Might work for cornichons!

Sleep Cycle on iOS. It sits under your pillow (or in my case, under the fitted sheet) and tracks movement as a way to determine what phase of sleep you’re in.

I have a sleep tracker that allows me to add “sleep notes” and compare the quality of my sleep based on the sleep notes. Some things have a huge impact (staying up late, napping in the mid-afternoon hurt my sleep, exercising helps my sleep) but drinking before bed has no impact for me. It’s a 1% increase in sleep

When I bought a house and needed a wheelbarrow, I checked out the Worx Aerocart. Popular reviews seem to suggest that it’s a jack of all trades, master of none type of deal. Super small wheelbarrow capacity. The only thing that seemed worthwhile is the net/crane function, though in the year since that time I can’t say

The purpose of this article is to help RELIEVE stress for people who are already healthy (picky) eaters. At least, that’s what I gather from the introduction:
