With or without shipping for each one? A $5 computer that you have to buy one at a time with a $10 shipping fee isn’t a $5 computer (for the end user), it’s a $15 computer. My application happens to be a distributed sense and action, so I need at least two to test, and about 8 to compete the system. $(8 x 5) + $10…

And, just like the Zero, there’s basically no way to buy it, and if you do find it (usually at way over it’s retail price), you can only buy a single sample.

Yeah, I read that headline and thought, “That’s just full of nope.” Until I hit the bacon wrapped shrimp fried in bacon grease. O. M. F. G. Now I can’t wait for Christmas to get here so I can give my wife her Sous Vide controller. And then quickly take it away from her to make those.  

I knew there was something evil about them and could never put my finger on it. You just...know. I’m pretty sure what we have is the same as gaydar, but for evangelicals.

Celsius is just arbitrary. Melting and boiling points of water under conditions which exist almost nowhere on earth? How is that repeatable? And the temperature scale works for nothing in science regarding heat transfer except lousy conduction, ignoring everything else that happens.

I’m pretty sure I had one of the SI ones, too, many years ago

3M VHB is what you want. They hold glass windows on skyscrapers with that stuff.

If you ever need to get it off, just grab a length of fishing line, or even doubled up dental floss, and “saw” the connection off the wall. You can then rub the side that sticks on the wall off with your fingers, and clean up with a bit…

Life Hack: If you want to unfog your shower mirror and have a handheld showerhead, simply run the hot water over the mirror for a few seconds before shaving.

Why it works: By heating the mirror to a temperature above the dew point (easily accomplished by the heat transfer of the water from the showerhead), no…

Mine is a bit of a sordid tale:

Need? No. I could get by with a flip phone, TBH. I cold even get 90% of what I need done with a $10 Tracphone/FreedomPop freebie - and I own both of those and have used them in a pinch.

Yeah, there are no free phones. Refund +$25 (+25 for each accessory you bought if you get your refund straight from Samsung). Or they’ll trade you for a S7 series galaxy and cash out the difference. Really, the full refund is the better avenue since you can then go buy a phone for cheaper on the open market than their…

Then you’ve got a lot of choices. That’s the great think about just needing a phone - most of the stuff is just extra. I use mine as a primary tool in my consulting work, so it’s a big deal for me. It’s also why the rest of my family owns iOS devices. Easy, simple, sufficient.

Need - no. If it were need I could put my iPhone 5 back on my plan. It gets email and text, and could act as a hotspot for my tablet that I could carry around and do everything, and a I could put it in my drybag if I go out on the boat.

“so many great devices available”

4k or Ultrawide? Sometimes, you just want as much real estate as you can get:

Well, that would be a pretty tough rule to have in football seeing as the purpose of most plays is to intentionally hit somebody. Intent is just too hard to prove - hell, they have so many screw ups on intentional grounding they had to make a stupid rule for it that has no basis in reality and screws up more IG…

If you drop your head, you should get ejected. He lowered his head to make the hit. Clearly illegal: “We want everyone to understand that the crown of the helmet starts from the area above the face mask to the dome of the helmet.” Rogers Redding did not stutter.

My favorite is when I try to use OK Google to get information while I’m driving, and instead of reading out an answer it just dumps me into a google search page result. Or when I ask it for the closest [insert restaurant chain] and it returns results from several states away, or the list includes mostly results from…

There are very few “amazing rates” in the loan industry. I’ve yet to see a rate lower than 0%, which is pretty much my trigger for getting a loan. Have you been debt free for long enough to not have a credit history, but not long enough to save money for a vehicle? For most people, just the absence of a mortgage and…

No shit. Been mortgage free for ~8 years. We have a car payment because it was given at 0%, and we couldn’t get any more money up front for cash. Put that cash (yes, we actually had the cash) into the market in 2012 when the S&P was around 1300. Not a bad outcome at all. If things don’t tank come November, we’ll have…
