Parts have always been a challenge for us with ‘80s Shelby Dodges. All of the cars were very limited production, fewer than 500 ‘89 Shelby CSXes were made, for example. While many of the parts are stock Chrysler, and often interchangeable between models, even some of those are beginning to be hard to find. Other…

Maybe I’m more organized in my browsing or something, but I hate tab groups. I wish it was still possible to turn it off. :(

One year I gave my (then) college-age daughter 20 $5 bills all taped together end-to-end with easy release tape. I rolled them up, put them in a small box with a slit cut in it, stuck the first one out the slit, then wrapped the box. She had fun pulling what was a pretty long string of bills out of the box.

My only saw blade tip is that if you’re going to cut a bunch of laminate flooring, invest in a carbide blade. I was amazed at how hard that flooring was on a high-tooth-count blade. Dulled it pretty quickly. I replaced it with a new carbide blade, and that still looked new after finishing the floor.

It’s your ad blocker.

There’s an airbag sensor on the Dodge Neon bolted to the floor under the center console cup holders, as well. I’m a little curious if my airbags even work. In the 18+ years I’ve owned my SRT-4, I’ve hit two deer and run head-on into a guardrail on an icy bridge, and none of the airbags have ever gone off.

I’d add Detectorists and Derry Girls to that list of Brit shows. They were both great fun that my wife and I really enjoyed.

I just took pics of my parents’ remotes the last time I was there, for this reason. They’re nearing 80 and needing help more and more often. In the past couple of years my dad has really gone downhill. :/ It’s been hard watching him go from a guy who was a chemist and lab manager, to not being able to use his remote…

Being a software developer, I was always far more tech savvy than my kids. Kids didn’t have phones back then, so it was really just the browser that was an issue. They’re all grown now, but I remember having a talk with my son about how, just like they had an acceptable use policy at school, we had one at home, too.…

For similar reasons as Torx, square-drive screws are also popular, particularly for drywall and for outdoor construction. For outdoor use, consider stainless steel screws. They’re more expensive, but since they don’t rust, they’re good for decks, access ramps, and similar things.

I suggest popcorn salt, or even better, just grind some table salt with a mortar and pestle until it’s medium-fine. It sticks better to whatever you’re roasting or frying, which ends up tasting better.

I made my first pie when I was about 12 and needed a pie for a bake sale. I told my mom about it that morning before she went to work, and she basically said I was on my own. :) I dove in, followed the recipe, and made a lattice top cherry pie (canned filling). For a pie made by a 12yo boy, it was pretty darn good, if…

I usually make the bottom crust big enough to hang over the pan about an inch all around, then after the lattice is done, fold the bottom over it all the way around and crimp.

Same here. I have two, one for coffee and one for spices. They’re cheap enough and small enough that it made sense to dedicate them to their individual tasks, rather than cross-contaminate the flavors.

Sweet and salty can go so well together. We have a cookie recipe with bacon in it that we like around here.

I could see AMC building that, if they were still around.

Extra salt? Until I got to that line, I was thinking it would be best to use lightly salted wavy chips. Does it really need the extra salt?

My Christmas cactus I’ve been nursing along for a more than 10 years has about a dozen buds on it! I’m inordinately excited about it.
