Blowtorch. A legit, blue bottle plumbing blowtorch.

First, yes, they’re just movies. They’re fine movies and actually some aren’t even that good, but they’re just movies. You’re not going to scar your kid for life for showing them too early or too late or in the wrong order. It’s fine. They’re fine.

‘97 Cherokee by VIN, but, yet...no...
Bought headlights for a ‘97 when one went out and it didn’t fit. But the ones for a ‘96 do. Strange.

Right now it’s the thing where sending an iMessage sometimes puts my sent message above the message I’m responding to. It’s not going to kill me or crash my phone and it goes back to normal if I stop iMessage and relaunch it, but it’s so freaking stupid. I mean, really, how hard is it to sort by time? Every other…

Did this last year with the little guys. They’d pick one, we’d watch it while we refilled their flutes with sparkling grape juice then, when it hit zero we’d “clink drink” and wish each other happy New Year.

Freetime Unlimited is worth it, but we really only have the kids’ edition Fires and, new this year, a kids’ edition Kindle. If you were going to get a tablet for the tyke anyways and wanted Freetime Unlimited anyways, the Fire Tablet is the way to go. They’re $99 stock, but I’ve never spent more than $70 on them as…

First, let’s fix the trailers. Sat through over half an hour’s worth for Last Jedi. For a seat I paid for. Tell me what time the movie starts, tell me what time the trailers start and I’ll tell you what time I’m showing up. If getting there for the ads is the price I pay for a good seat...OK, fine. If it’s not going…

How is this the best deal? If you get the Gran Turismo Bundle and add in the move controllers and then buy Skyrim VR you’re at $359 for everything here plus GT Sport. All currently in stock at Best Buy, but your mileage my vary. If you skip out on Skyrim (which seems to be an OK port of a game a lot of people already…

Step 1 - set a budget.
Step 2 - get a prepaid visa for that amount (plus like $5 processing).
Step 3 - buy things using the prepaid visa.

My wife is an automotive adhesives engineer. The company she works for pretty much made bank by solving this for companies in the early 2000's. She didn’t work there then, but it’s still paying our bills.

As a father of an 8 year old, a 6 year old and a 5 year old, this is highly relevant to my interests. Seriously. Please. Anything.

I don’t understand buying a car in 2017. I mean, there’s online. I can see the price. I’m asking for clarification and...nope...they don’t know the price. Can’t tell me the price. They have a lot of Imprezas, why don’t I come down and see which one I like? Then they can talk price. You trading in? Financing? What…

Here’s the paper from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign...

I miss my ‘91 Ford Ranger XLT. And is suspension. Even that time it kinda sorta decided to pop out through the passenger side fender well and say “hello” to the underside of my hood. Still drove OK to the shop. Pulled a little to the right.

Why? I still have my old pair. From 2000. I taught them how to drive last year.

I have the 4" cables in Micro USB and in Lightning. Anker, for some reason, sent me one of each for Christmas.

I’ll never forget the night in the late ‘90's I saw Sargent deck the opposing goalie at a Cyclones game. There had been a bench clearing brawl and the refs were doing an admirable job of cleaning it up while the goalies met at mid-ice for a little meeting of the minds. Helmets off, gloves still on, looked like they…

My technique is similar, but I use cards and envelopes and names. Write a name on the outside of the envelope, then also on the card. Put the matching card in the envelope and repeat for each person. Then shuffle and stack. Open envelope #1 and pull out card #1 face down, set aside the envelope. Pick envelope #2, pull…

Had a 1996-7 (interesting repair job by a previous owner) Jeep Cherokee and all of this sounds so, so familiar.
