Only 4A total of USB power. I pass. Too many tablets/phones that want 2A each.

Can’t blame her, really. My neighborhood has one each N/S and E/W feeder roads cutting through it between the main roads on either side. These roads are 25mph and the N/S one has some pretty low-visibility curves in it (decent curve coupled with trees and LOTS of parked cars) right before a playground and cross-walk.

Yeah, I am all for xeriscaping as a general idea, but when you’ve got little kids that need to run around a yard it’s hard to beat good ol’ grass. Most of the xeriscaping I’ve run across is either in the “my, that’s pointy” camp or the “carefully tended contrasting colors of rocks” camp, neither of which is a great…

Best answer available: Subaru Outback/Legacy. The back seat in that car is huuuuuge. Leg room for days.

Edit: I see CalBearsFan99 already got this suggestion in. Consider it seconded.

I have a motorcycle helmet with Sharpie graphics by Cerwinske (of Sharpie Lambo fame) and get nothing but compliments on it. The negative space in the art shows the carbon-fiber layup underneath. Thank goodness for closeout pricing...

If you have forced-air heating, you probably only have 1 thermostat.

A number of software/tech companies have an “eat your own dog food” policy - that is: If you write it, you have to live with it day-to-day. I think that’s a fine idea (assuming you’re building things you can actually use - I don’t want to have a pacemaker or something forcibly installed on me because I happened to…

The two car-sickest humans I’ve known have both been adults, so unless you change your list to “condoms and a time machine”, then you’re just being judgy at families.

I have a 2012 Outback. That oil filter is my sworn enemy because I fail to buy filter wrenches that actually work. My knuckles bear several fairly permanent brands from the manifold.

Got one on my keychain right now. I don’t seem to suffer the thigh-poking issues that others report, and the screwdrivers / prybars / bottle openers work fine (though, like all multi-tools, they’re clearly “jack of all trades, master of none”)

Tempting! Unlike a lot of receivers these days, this one still has enough legacy support to keep compatibility with my older computers and gaming systems:

So chiliheads out there—with their iron stomachs and appetite for pain—can rejoice in knowing that the Dragon’s Breath is not especially lethal. 

Apparently it really has to do with the FAFSA and other financial aid stuff.

“Down Payment”. Magic words. Even 5% down on a $100K property will get you a loan without a lot of trouble.

Hold on. Am I going insane, or am I reading a whole page full of people that don’t grasp the concept of “if financial means are tight, cut back on unnecessary expenditures”?

And my point is that Kristen’s article falls short of either “interesting” or “journalism” unless you’re a subscriber to “Sarcastic Facebook Burns Monthly” or some-such rag.

“Defensive”? “Insecure”? Wow - that’s as amazing a mis-reading/projection as I have ever read here. I had to double-check to make sure this wasn’t cross-posted from Jez.
