Wait, are you from Lincoln, NE? That fucking bullshit word almost took out our entire class due to the capitalization. Kids were getting creative too, spelling it in weird “maybe they spelled it BIBIL in the 1800’s” ways. Very single kid in class got it wrong, so the teacher emphasized “CAPITAL Bible” when she…

I’ve been using my Harbor Freight compressor on and off for the past 4 years. It gets pulled out for big projects (the 200’ of privacy fence I did last weekend with a framing nailer) and small projects (building a little hut for my daughter’s hamster using finish nails, reattaching baseboard moulding that has pulled…

Watch the one where he drinks gallons of olive oil.

I'm from Lincoln. When we shop for cars Husker isn't even an option when buying. I'll take my truck to Performance for warranty/recall work, but that's about it. Otherwise we shop anywhere within a 150 mile radius for best price. One of the best places to buy a used car in Lincoln? B&D Auto. No haggle, super cheap…

I'm not from Fremont. I taught 8th grade English there for a year though. I live in Lincoln.

I agree. One quick accidental pull of this off of the workbench and onto the garage floor and “ka-blam-o!”

Have. He's not dead yet. He's only 50.

2008: My girlfriend (now wife) was in the market for a new car. She was a new college graduate with a good job as a nurse with lots of newly expendable cash in her pockets. She had a '98 Chevy Cavalier that had a fuel pump going bad to the point that you would have to put the car in neutral at stop lights and keep a…

I had to have a Time Warner guy come out due to similar issues. However, he plugged in a powered (literally plugged into an electrical outlet through coax. I'd never seen anything like it.) amplifier and improved speeds on everything in the entire house (cable and internet). No charge for the service call or extra…

"... so I'm going to assume "woven mesh" means burlap, and we're seeing the very first car with a pressed-burlap chassis. Very impressive."

When I refinished my basement a few years ago, I coped the entire thing, including chair rail wrapped along every wall. All it took was a miter saw, compass to measure angles of the walls, and a Dremel to carve out the cope. I found it to be much more professional looking and wouldn't do it any other way ever again.…

I had to take down a 20' tree in my yard this summer. The chainsaw I borrowed kept having issues with the chain coming off track. Out came the cheap Harbor Freight sawzall. It was able to do the same job as the chainsaw, and felt much safer also. I even cut the 2.5' circumference trunk down to ground level by taking…

I wonder how feasible it would be to hang kitchen cabinets using a double french cleat system. That way, you could repaint and rearrange cabinets almost at will for a quick refresh. Would this be a strong enough option to do this?

This sounds like my wife and I, but we have yet to see our 5 year anniversary (it's coming this November.) We are in our late 20's, but feel like we are doing things "the old fashioned way." We have always, from day 1 (literally, since we were at the bank the day after our wedding merging accounts) have shared…

I use whatever cheap beer I have available (usually Bud Light). I've noticed that the meat almost gets a nice caramelization or crust on it when using beer vs. water. I usually do full bone-in pork shoulders that I then shred up into pulled pork. They come out so tender that the bone slips out of the surrounding…

I've been doing this in my offset smoker. I put the water pan (often times filled with a cheap beer instead of water) above the spot where the smoke enters the smoking chamber. Most of the high heat gets absorbed (low and slow is the best way to barbeque if you want tender meat) and it still allows the smoke to…

I totally agree with the "Don't underestimate the internet" tip. When my wife and I were refinishing our basement a couple of years ago, we installed a chair rail and new baseboards. I taught myself how to "cope" boards using a mitre saw and dremel tool using multiple videos on Youtube, essentially making all of my…

What about those keys with chips in them or car remotes? I see a few hanging from the shelf. Wouldn't the magnets have detrimental effects on those keys?

I notised that to.
