Trolls are gonna troll, and people who want to find fault will find it. One nice thing in Doc’s favor that no words or criticism will change, though:

One of my favorite memories of an enemy encounter happened back in the 90s, with Half Life. Specifically, the soldier squads that you encounter. They shoot at you, they throw grenades to either kill you or make you hide, then they come up after the grenades to assault you in your hidey hole.

Audiobooks FTW, here. I do like a few songs here and there, now and then, but I get bored with the radio or a CD or whatever else very quickly. So, been using audiobooks instead about 80% or more of the time for many years now. Good thing my brother shares his library with me!

No problem! I went on this quest back in 2012, when I first wanted to start using a smartphone. This is where I landed, and I figured I’d give a few notes that others might be able to use as they search. We didn’t initially plan on having a corporate account, for example. But we have more people than fit on a family…

I asked the guy who runs the server I use, here’s what he said:

My family is large, so we’ve taken advantage of it, when it comes to cell phones. We have two plans from T-Mobile with several people on them: a corporate account, and a regular family plan.

The Plex server I access is run on Linux, though I forget which distro. I’ll see what I can find out for you, but if I recall, the drive/partition/folder where the media is stored might be set up in a way that it doesn’t track file ownership. That’s a guess from a very vague recollection of a conversation I once had,…

So, 1 apple x 1 meter = one joule of work. Got it. ... How heavy is an apple?

If you don’t want to spend a lot on knives, but still want good ones, then go to your local restaurant supply store and get some foodservice type knives made by a variety of companies (Dexter, Mundial, etc.). They’ve got good angles on the blades, decently shaped handles (usually), and the right kind of serrations. At…

First, no. Just look at the stillframe used for the video in its unplayed state. They didn’t even test offset blades at all, it seems.

Just a thought about Aukey and Anker - something I confirmed while doing my own bluetooth speaker comparison is that even they are just repackaging the same Chinese things, usually. I purchased about a dozen different BT speakers, different brands including Aukey and Anker, and could tell by the various indicators…

Because people who want to be offended and to complain will always find something to be offended by and to complain about. So why not make it easy and put the bait right there, smack dab in the middle of the title and get it over with? Sorta like ripping off a band-aid.

I’ll save everyone who orders from Dominos some time:

Funny how things come up in a cluster, at times. Just yesterday I came across another website talking about imposter syndrome. It happened through a Udemy course I’m taking, and the link I followed was part of a lesson plan written in February, so nothing at all related.

Somewhat disappointed in my test results. I searched for trips to Munich (MUC) on Feb 17, 2016 (I just picked somewhere I’ve never gone and a date a couple months in the future), both from Los Angeles (my home) and from Salt Lake City (my best friend’s home). From SLC, the cheapest flight is $655, with 3 stops. From…

Microwaves do the job with more pizzazz.

Ninja: While that is a nice price, if you have a Costco membership, I recommend a trip to either their store or website - the “Mega” bundle is on sale for $135. For the extra $33, you get a lot of additional bits: http://goo.gl/pQsMlM

Would you, as someone who owns the router, highly recommend it to others? Specifically, I’m having range issues. The apartment I moved into must have lead paint over a Faraday Cage substructure, because with my same router, I used to get good service at a further away point in my last apartment. Now I get a signal,…

Quick note about the RIDGID warranty: You get a 3-year warranty straight up (last I checked), but to get the lifetime warranty you MUST send in the registration card (filling it out requires the serial numbers from all parts) + receipt + UPC (I think), and it must be RECEIVED by the company (not postmarked) within 90…
