Cross-post to Offspring: “Hey Billy - look at this cool new watch Daddy got!  Wanna wear it today?” (Attach watch to hyperactive toddler; profit).

An oldie but a goodie: Rinkworks’ Book-A-Minute ultra-condensed books.  For when Nick’s summaries start dragging on a bit.

Sadly not just limited to charging cables. Amazon’s nothing but products from (two random english words glued together) that are surprisingly identical to the products from (two different random english words glued together) which in turn are extremely identical to the products from (six or seven random letters…

Mildred: Hey, Johnny, what are you rebelling against?

Um... the “Prius V” is a wagon-y-shaped Prius - you know, the kind with a piddly small battery mated to a piddly small gasoline engine? The kind that doesn’t plug in to anything? The kind that spends all day doing taxicab duty? I don’t know what you’re on wth this “wait 4 hours to get the battery charged” stuff...

For car owners: the gallons of gas remaining in your tank after the “low fuel” indicator lights up. Always nice to know how far you’ve really got left before you really have an issue.

My kids have this “cat piano” which is my nemesis. Yes, it’s a lovely one-octave piano thingy w/ a couple of voices including a really amusing “meow” for each note. It can also play various songs (with vocal track). Here’s the problems with it:

75-90W synthetic gear oil qualifies. That stuff smells awful and I will gladly call it “gross”. I hate that part of my motorcycle service (shaft-drive motorcycle).

Yeah... sounds familiar. The alley behind my childhood home’s garage was reliably weed free and had no blowing dust problems. Only thing that grew back there was a massive wild rose bush. I don’t know how, mind you, but you didn’t mess with that bush.

Right. For the same $9, you could get a dozen razor-blade box cutters that do pretty much the same thing but with cheaper replacement blades which are useful themselves for all sorts of non-box-cutting adventures (like scraping stickers off of windows or doing lines of cocaine).

I grabbed a bag of the bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper chips at Subway on a whim.  I was wildly unimpressed - no real flavor of bacon or jalapeno at all. It was just... eh.

Father of 3, here.

This may be the most compelling use-case for the Tile trackers that I’ve heard.

Plethora. Too much, eh? (I’m not crazy about myriad, either, as long as we’re talking about excessive ways to say “a bunch.”)

The class warfare is strong on this site. Landlord/tenant articles really seem to hit a nerve with a lot of people here and I haven’t really decided if it’s because there really are that many “redistribution of wealth”/”power to the people” socialists in the commentariat or because there really are that many “stick it…

...and you’ll get the same treatment in return. Excellent advice, truly.

I hate “video articles”.  Thanks.

Kind of frightening that this is something that McDonald’s gets righter than most when it comes to burgers. 

The map of Colorado surprises me.  I’d have assumed that the majority of the Rockies would be pretty unimpeded.
