I'm not saying that "cycling is for hipsters". I'm saying that trust-fund hipsters (that is, a generalization of the type of people who think paying $7 for a cup of coffee, $100 for a t-shirt, or $500+ for a bike with one speed and no brakes is in some way sensible) are about the only people who I can see plonking…

Let's work on "inexpensive to purchase" before we start worrying about trick 3D-printing or interchangeable bits and bobs.

Because I (and others) were confused, this thing right here surrounding/covering the burner is the important bit. The rest is just a standard wok ring with some tall legs to account for your grate being gone.

What it took me several re-reads to notice ('cause I thought the same thing) is the little sort-of-looks-like-a-steamer-basket thingy that's sitting RIGHT ON the burner.

Amen. Let me create a few burner accounts so I can star this as much as it deserves.

Not just for old people! It's a lot easier getting my toddler in and out of our Outback than it is getting her in and out of my Saturn Ion. It's a lot easier getting ME in and out of the Outback than my Ion for that matter.

Totally agree. I caught my in-laws' car down 10 pounds on each tire this weekend ("Hey Jack - you probably ought to check your tires before you head back home. Driver's Front looks kind of low to me").

As others point out, it's not just the money: there's a severe time penalty on both sides for checked baggage.

Each bin will allow up to six standard size carry-on roller bags. two more than the current bin...

Not sure about Mpusch's reasons, but here's a couple I can think of:

A 440?

Yeah, how 'bout "no"?

By "a little black smoke", do you mean "massive doses of visibility-damaging, lung-destroying carcinogens"?

I usually manage to keep my comments pretty civil around here, but, nope. Can't do it.

This was quite a ways back - 10 years maybe. My summary is translated from the Japanese that the unit was speaking (for my Japanese friend who was driving - I'm not that suicidal). "Kudasai this" and "Kudasai that". My friend translated that into "Pretty please" for us Americans.

The Japanese-language GPSs are hilariously polite. The one we had essentially said (paraphrasing) "Pretty pretty please maybe think about taking the next left." It was such a weird cultural difference from the imperative commands used in the English-language settings ("Turn left now.") and it drove my…

It would be helpful to know what beers you've tried and what about them you haven't enjoyed (as closely as you can describe it - taste/smell/feel can lead to pretty subjective descriptions).

No. Forget this noise. It is NOT my fault NOR my problem if the survey process is horribly broken.

Here's the crazy bit: for all of your naughtiness you'd probably still be under the speed limit and get off scott-free.

If you keep your eye out, some auto parts shops will run specials that make a DIY change well worth it - NAPA, for instance, occasionally does 5qts of full-synthetic plus a filter for $25. A synthetic change at the shop or the dealer is likely to come with a very high markup on it.
