I like pronouncing Asus as “Ay-Sis” while I have heard many people saying “Ay-Soos.” I think they even pronounce it that way in the commercial... Forget that, they are all pronouncing it wrong. :-P

Oh, how it would be to have so much money that it didn’t have a purpose.

I wonder if you can open the laptop and disconnect the USB connection from the board and save the battery that way.

One of the most important things in communication is listening. Unfortunately, people often use one sided methods of communication these days. People will post something on a social media site and move on to the next thing. It seems like a lot of times, people either don’t challenge your ideas that you say, they apply…

This is dangerous. I see these headsets and they look quite cool and they seem inexpensive enough. So, why is it dangerous? I already have 4 sets of bluetooth headsets/headphones that work perfectly well. I was seriously considering buying them, but then I decided, “No! You do not need any more. Yours work just fine…

I have seen the over/under method before, but I never saw the thumb technique for remembering how to do this. This is a great video.

I’m not sure why, but when I tried searching for this in the Google Chrome Webstore, I couldn’t find it. I had to use the above link. Did anyone else have this experience as well?

GX600 technically has 24 buttons. It has the 12 buttons, but you also have that modifier button next to the right click which can give you a whole set of additional buttons.

Funny that this should be posted here. I had a dog disappear on us earlier this week. I woke up about 8:30 in the morning to the sound of my parents yelling for Lily, my dog. I figured they might have been doing so to get her inside. I got up to take a shower and in the middle of the shower, my mom came into the…

Well, I must say that it is not only important to aim to solve a problem, but you should also make sure that you are using the right tool. I have used PHP to perform quite a few tasks that, had I known more of a more appropriate language, I might have chosen it. I have written a PHP script to read through a directory…

I remember some guy wanted to try selling me a credit card that gives priority boarding to its holders, or something like that. This got me thinking: Why would I want to leave the only somewhat uncomfortable chair in the concourse by the gate to have to walk slowly to my very uncomfortable seat? Getting to the inside…

Yeah. I kind of figured as much, but I wasn’t certain. Thank you for clarifying.

Not to sound like an idiot or anything, but what does the “2 T” for the last 2 ingredients stand for? Is it for 2 table spoons or 2 tea spoons or is it for something else entirely?

I haven’t tried this, but I have seen many videos about it. Basically, on the cheaper locks the shackle (curved metal part) is held in place by a spring loaded pawl (spring loaded latch that fits in a groove in the shackle). This technique uses the shim to push the pawl against the spring and into the lock’s body,…

There are some people that just don’t get saving money. If an item is ordinarily $60 and you find it on sale for 25% off, making it $45, this is only a good deal if it is something you would have bought in the first place. Sure, you could save 25% by buying it right then, but you could save an additional 75% by not…

Hehe. I was looking for a “Drinking rules” section. I remember a friend of mine made drinking rules for the Mario Party games. Any time you complained that “the game is rigged”, you take a drink. There were a whole bunch and you can get pretty wasted fairly quickly. I’m quite surprised that this didn’t make the list.

I have actually seen a video of someone opening handcuffs with the small metal tab on the band of a wristwatch. This would be a lot less conspicuous than having a paperclip hanging around. I would also like to point out that the proper way to handcuff someone would be with the hands behind the back and with the palms…

Heh. I remember years ago when I would eat some chips and hot salsa and I would drink a can of Diet Coke just so that it intensified the heat from the salsa. Feel the burn... :-D

I like the channel, GameTheory. They have a bunch of really interesting videos regarding all manner of theories about video games like the theory that Mario is a sociopath. That video can be seen in this post, but there are a lot of other great videos on that channel. It also has an awesome opening theme.

I know that this lecturer said that he went out drinking beer after studying. I would suggest that this is not the best way to do this. There have been studies that indicate that REM sleep is important to learning new material. Consumption of alcohol suppresses REM sleep. So, consumption of alcohol, while it makes…
