Maybe I'm the only one, but I always had fun ripping out the core of bell peppers... Perhaps because I started doing it when I was a kid. I just reach in with two fingers, rip out the core, then smack it on the cutting board a couple times to get any loose seeds out. Takes a whopping 10 seconds. To clean up the…

I really like number 3, but all of these suggestions are great. Number 6 should also mention over-seasoning food, however. My girlfriend loves garlic. So much so that she has developed a palette that tends to ignore it unless there is a LOT. Therefore, she thinks everything needs to have a ton of garlic flavor in…

I'd like to, but the cost of disposable contact lenses versus the fact that my prescription hasn't changed in quite a long time and I can keep the same pair of glasses until they finally get too scratched up or break means that it's significantly cheaper for me personally to stick with glasses. Also, I've never had a…

I was referring to the "basically making these useless?" portion of the comment. The "makes things slightly smaller" part of my comment is agreeing with you, as that is the root cause of WHY things seem smaller, but it doesn't by any means make them useless, and I have a very powerful prescription. I should add,…

Not for nearsighted people, like myself (which I would guess is who this is aimed at... you don't tend to need help reading underwater). It makes things slightly smaller, but I'd take that over having to make absolutely sure I have a pair of contacts with me whenever I go to a swimming pool or beach.

You're very welcome. :) It's part of why I enjoy anime, honestly. You literally can just look at it sometimes and go "that guy is completely ridiculous..."

My favorite thing ever is "James May's Road Trip", a wonderful show the BBC created with James May from Top Gear going around with a wine connoisseur trying different wines. Most of the time he's just drinking and all "yeah, it's good". lol

Because when it comes to anime, you don't have to make sense.

Based on how various winos, or whatever you'd call them, claim to be able to taste the difference in the soil the grapes were grown in, I'm sure they'd notice if metal were dipped into their glass of wine for a millisecond.

lol, I really, seriously, severely enjoyed this comment. This is what I always think whenever I hear or read "it has the blahblah pallet and bippity boo tannins" IT TASTES LIKE WINE. Grapes. That's what it is. Drink it. Enjoy.

Interesting, but I would never, ever get out of bed with this thing. I purposely use the iPhone's default alarm clock (set on the annoying "alarm" sound so I can hear it even if I leave it in the next room) so that I have to slide the lock to turn it off. and even then I'm getting to the point of being able to do…

Okay, knowing more about the API does make it make sense, thanks for that explanation. :)

Sounds incredibly stupid and arbitrary to me. More like "Apple found a way to keep it from competing with their built-in mail app without it being legally considered anticompetitive, so they did it."

This is what happens to me as well. Then I'm exhausted for work the next day, and things build up until I'm not only not wanting to do my hobby, but also not wanting to get out of bed to go do "that thing I get paid for".

In my experience a headboard, especially if the bed is well-designed and/or well-built, will be pressed more firmly against the mattress and held there by footboard in many cases. Whenever I've had a simple frame and the wall, I've lost pillows down the crack between them as I sleep, making me wake up to a very…

It's cool, just wanted to let ya know. ;) That's why my comment lacked malice, unlike some people who say "Well if you'd read the article..." I'd rather be informative.

Sadly that's not entirely true. Not having the "Start" menu, and making certain setting exist only in the "Metro" interface make it pretty clear they're looking to move absolutely everything over to the Metro style interface. So I wouldn't say "You don't have to use Metro if you don't want to". I'd very much like…

I think this is aimed at people who don't want to wait "overnight". Hence the part of the last sentence: "it's still a lot quicker than stuffing newspaper inside them and waiting overnight."

I opted to install to a small partition since you can dynamically reduce current partitions and add a new one in free space on an existing harddrive (with Win7, at least). Thus far, my personal impression is that it's too... weird. The feeling of not being able to easily "quit" a program unless I'm NOT currently…

My personal opinion is that they're neat images, but since I don't have an iPad or an Android tablet or anything I don't have much use for them. They'd all look pretty funky cropped to fit my desktop, not to mention the pixelation of them being blown up.
