I believe it takes a certain kind of person to deal with difficult tenants, and that doing so takes a toll on those who aren’t inherently that kind of person. I am reminded of a This American Life story from 2007 about a young man who became the super of an apartment building and the advice he was given about tenants:…

Will this controller work with anything else when Google inevitably loses interest and shuts Stadia down like so many other of their services?

Zoodles are like veggie burgers, they just suffer too much from the comparison.

Nebraska hell storm of 2020 (not that this narrows it down much) - my wife started counting cars off the road. After less than an hour’s driving she’d got to 300 and given up.

Well sometimes you need a really dull tip.

My favorite heat exchanger is my wife, who can somehow pile on three blankets and still absorb all my body heat by touching my leg with a single icy foot.

I’m a girly-girl who has always driven older cars (hey, I TRAVEL!). I’ve had to develop skills and learned to stock my trunk from bitter experience of being at the mercy of weirdo strangers on the road, unscrupulous mechanics and tow drivers who over charge and my own Costanza-like frugality. Everyone needs a AAA…

Man, that just makes me think about how mad I was about the GTO. They cheeped out and slapped some body panels and Pontiac badges on a Holden and called it a day.

I’m still mad about the Nissan IDX

i once filled a 1-5 rating survey out with straight 3's all the way down—they serviced my car with the things i brought to their attention. everything was adequate, so i filled out the survey that way. they didn’t buy me a puppy, put me in a free new car, or do my laundry.  they also didn’t leave greasy hand prints…

Your primary home isn’t an investment? That’s the most ridiculous statement I’ve heard on here. It’s real estate. Sure, it might not go up in value in the short term, such is the risk of an investment. But it probably will in the long term given history. It’s interesting your advice on the stock market acknowledging…

Welcome to the Cancel Culture, I don’t like this, so no one else should do it then. 

Gonna go ahead and save this one for the next time someone asks me to demonstrate post-Gawker’s looney ideological crusading.

Yes, making fun of kids for what they eat is bad. No one is disputing that. But the eventual ACCEPTANCE of that food is bad too now? Fuck off, that makes no sense.

Both the CDC and WHO recommend that a mask fit snugly around your mouth and nose, which rules out buffs

I’m all in on this. Just bring the old show back. It’s time to get things started. 

I wish the used the What3Words model. Much easier to communicate.

You know what I like about AllRecipe - it gives you the recipe. I don’t have to scroll for 3 days past a novella about how the recipe changed your families life, made you the hero of every social function ever, and retroactively won World War I. Just give me the bloody recipe (or give it first, then write your magnum…

Do check the internet about this for your particular vehicle. Some have quirks that should be known beforehand. For example certain 4Runners drain their oil onto a frame member spreading it out and raining down in multiple places. Pre-prepare a chute to direct the oil to the container.

DO NOT UNDO YOUR DRAIN PLUG WITH THAT SHITTY “UNIVERSAL” WRENCH. It is a sure fire way to strip the bolt. Get a real set of box end wrenches. It’s $19 for a metric set from Harbor Freight.
