I don’t understand the need for 16” tongs. I use Amco 9” and 12” SS tongs for both indoor and outdoor use. My grill is a 36” Viking, which gets hotter than hell and has a surface area much larger than most run-of-the-mill-bought-it-at-home-depot grills. I can flip stuff on the back (hottest) part of the grill with 12”…

Funny—I like the extra whitespace after a period from using a double space, but rigidly adhere to no spaces around an em-dash. Might, in fact, be due to MS Word, since it won’t convert a double hyphen into an em-dash if there are spaces before and after. And going back and adding them after the fact seems like a PITA.

I noted in my comment, but both MS Word (and apparently LH’s comment system) will generate an em-dash if you use a double hyphen between two words without any spaces.

I didn’t think you were supposed to put spaces around an em-dash. That is also consistent with how I generate 99% of my em-dashes—i.e., typing a double hyphen without spacing, which MS Word (but not LH’s comment system) turns into an em-dash when you apply a space after the word following the em-dash.

I was just noting Oxo had alternatives in the review itself—I’m happy with my very utilitarian Amco tongs. Not sure why, but I’m actually heavily biased against Oxo as a brand.

CI doesn’t seem to include the tongs I use daily—my metal locking Amco tongs (http://www.amazon.com/Amco-Stainless…). I’ve had both the 12” and 9” tongs for close to 15 years, use them daily, and they look and work as good as new. I find 12” tongs fine for grilling—frankly flipping things like a larger flank steak…

Oddly, there are two sets of Oxo’s in the test—one at the very top, one at the very bottom...

This strikes me as a decent resource:

While this is a very useful technique, just be aware that the way he did it—going 360 around the piece—means you will be climb cutting in certain areas. That can lead to the piece jumping or tearout (both of which you actually see in the video). I might reverse direction to avoid that, since you might lose a finger or…

I make a double batch of lemonade pretty much every Sunday during the summer, which means I’m squeezing about a dozen lemons a week. If you reach that level of lemon-squeezing goodness, I’m going to highly recommend an Orange-X juicer (http://www.amazon.com/Jupiter-Large-…). I’ve owned mine for about 20 years, and not…

I usually toss it after about a month or so—but you have to store in the fridge. I’ll keep a spare tube in my pantry. Unopened they have a loooong shelf life. But since recipes usually call for a minimum of 1T, I don’t seem to have issues using them up. Or the anchovy paste tubes.

For small quantities, I just keep a squeeze tube in the fridge.

Drift away from the guard? You mean drift away from the fence? You might want to check the alignment between the blade and fence (and the blade v. miter slots). Not cheap, but I recommend the TS Aligner Jr. (http://www.ts-aligner.com/tsalignerjr.ht…) for cabinet saws (a contractor saw will never be as accurate, you…

Still swingin’ and missin’. If you don’t think daypack covers are a substitute for waterproof packs, why bring them up when I said virtually no one make waterproof packs? If they aren’t waterproof, then why are they relevant? And I didn’t say no one makes waterproof daypacks, I pointed out they were rare and typically…

And... you’ve answered none of my points. I’m thinking “[t]his is information I got from people at Patagonia, REI, Osprey” = desperately looking shit up on the web because you don’t actually know what the fuck you are talking about. And, as I’ll explain below, you can’t even apparently do that right. But, just because…

“Where did I say that a pack cover converts a daypack into a dry bag?” Well, I asked “why is it that 99.99% of all daypacks sold aren’t waterproof” and you responded “[m]ost daypacks aren’t waterproof because it’s quicker to design a regular one and throw in a raincover, which companies make a ton of money from,” and…

Do you realize how silly you sound claiming that higher end applications—more demanding environments and harsher conditions—don’t result in improvements to consumer goods? That’s rich. Hell, there are all sorts of consumer improvements that are directly attributable to R&D for the space program. So whether the average…

I don’t think that is true. A prenup can’t address custody, nor can it address child support, both of which would be determined by a family court judge. But I don’t think having a child would invalidate the alimony provisions or asset division portions of a prenup.

I got married a little later in life (early 40s) and had sufficient net assets that I got a lot of unsolicited advice from various folks that I should get a prenup. Never seriously considered it, mostly on the basis of my view that planning for bad things tends to make bad things happen.* I also thought (accurately,…

Desperate? Nah. I’ve already said you should go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want. I just have a low tolerance for reading stupidity without reacting. And it isn’t really hard to respond to your drivel. I get a notification, I click on it, see stupid shit, write a 30 second response, and I’m done.
