If you get crumbles, it just means you didn’t rub enough. You’ll take off a lot of what you put on, but each time you do it it adds another layer. The more you rub, the thinner (and more durable) the layer.

I was Army Reserve, Signal Corps - field radio repair (29E). I went inactive two months before my unit was called up for Desert Storm. To the best of my knowledge, none of my former unit sustained anything but sunburn for their trip to SA. I don’t often claim “veteran” status, because there are too many people out…

When I was in boot camp, the trick was knee-high nylons under your normal issue socks. Never had a single blister after being let in on that secret.

Yeah, tell me about it. I can see pending activity on my account on the web (now), and at least now they’re processing them as they come in. Would be nice if they processed income before outgo, just as a rule, but I’m not holding my breath.

Theoretically, yes, unless employers change their process to prevent the paychecks from leaving their own accounts until the last possible moment so they arrive in the employee’s account at the same time they always have. Many of the employers I’ve worked with in the past want every last cent in their accounts for as…

Luckily I’m no longer in the type of situation that would be threatened by this, but I know it’s not unusual to “float” payments a day before payday (or pay by check the day before a deposit clears). A lot of people living paycheck-to-paycheck may have to watch themselves. And it seems like there are a higher…

100W, 12V AC? 12?

Boy did I read that headline wrong the first time around. Amazing how substituting one ‘e’ for an ‘a’ can change the whole tenor of the article.

Or you can use a taut line hitch, a knot specifically designed to adjust and hold tension between two lines, with no extra pieces required, and no chance of a sharp piece of aluminum cutting through your line under load.

If Ryan Lochte wants to make a fresh start, he should fly back to Rio, face the music, serve his time, and THEN make his fresh start, just like every normal human being is expected to. If he fails, he should be stripped of his medals for behavior unbecoming of an Olympian.

In 2000, Missouri elected ex-governor Mel Carnahan, who had been DEAD for three weeks, to the US Senate over John Ashcroft.

Maybe that’s his kink.

Hmm. I’ve got paid Crunchyroll and Funi (subs only) accounts. To be brutally honest, though, I often grab the horriblesubs releases of the shows I want to watch. I’ll use the web to catch the first couple of episodes, and if I decide to commit, I’ll download. CR’s player is in another league from Funi’s horrible mess,…

It’s not about privacy for me, it’s about security. Malicious software injected into ad networks is what, the #1 source of infections these days? Sorry, no, you will not win this war, Facebook.

Well hell. I *just* switched to Google Fi a month and a half ago, and bought a 6P on the two-year plan, and this is telling me that it’ll (likely) stop receiving updates well before I finish paying it off. Thanks guys, that really makes me feel loved.

A few months ago, I got my oil changed at Jiffy Lube. They neglected to properly latch the hood, and as soon as I got up to highway speed, the hood flipped up and completely obscured my windshield. Bent the hood, shattered the windshield, broke both hood hinges, dented the roof, and dented two fairings and both…

Obligatory XKCD:

Dude, I thank god you’re not married too, because it’s pretty obvious you would suck at it and make some potentially happy girl’s life miserable. I’m not going to check out your recommendations, because I have a happy marriage. I’m married to my best friend. Literally none of your post applies to my relationship, nor…
