I've strained yogurt til it had the consistency of cream cheese. It works awesome in frosting. We made chocolate frosting with it and the tang of the yogurt worked very well with the bitter of the chocolate.

Consider going hungry and living on the street before taking out a payday loan. They are the worst.

Why is it always Jim that gets DCMA'd. You would think that these developers would have heard about the many prior times this happened to Jim and saw the streisand that it caused and just accept that a game critic was super critical of their game and they need to do better.

I have a Brother P-Touch in my office. It eats batteries like candy. Other than that it works well. I could prolly get the AC adapter, but Brother wants more than I paid for the labeler for the AC adapter. There are 3rd party ones on Amazon, but they give mixed reviews and the labels on them would indicate they are…

Pretty sure tossing your jeans in the freezer has been debunked by science. Most of the critters that would live in your jeans eating your dead skin cells can survive freezing temps. Once warmed back up, they would start munching away as all of the oil and skin cells that you really should be cleaning off.

I'm holding out on pre-ordering until I find out how many consoles I'm gonna have to buy before I can play both Mario and Luigi in Super Mario NX.

Voltaire said "Perfect is the enemy of good". In the engineering world, we turn it upside down and say "Good is the enemy of best". It's true that there are more than one ways to skin a cat, but for an engineer only one of those ways is the right way. (Unfortunately, every cat is different, and no one way works for…

If you've got a lot of carpet to pull up, there are special blades for the job that have a hook on the end that'll do all of this for you. They aren't any more expensive than regular utility blades and they'll make your job much easier.

She's definitely not the first cosplayer scammed out of her money with insane promises.

I feel like I post about this a lot, but I feel like a little bit of patting myself on the back is good for morale.

If you're looking for longer fridge life for your cream, look for "ultra-pasteurized". It changes the taste and texture a little, but for your coffee you won't notice much difference. For cooking it works well enough.

Just wanted to chime in with a confirmation on the other commenter. "Fat Free" half and half is skim milk+corn syrup+thickeners. It provides a similar taste and mouth feel in your coffee, but fails to perform in scenarios that require half and half for it's fat content.

In my adventures, I've found that using tools to help can be useful, but you need to make positive life changes to keep with it. After a few months of counting calories religiously, I stopped. The goal of using a calorie counter was to teach myself what appropriate portions looked like and how much was sufficient…

There are endless internet arguments about the merits of adding milk to your eggs when you scramble. Milk or Cream will result in a creamier egg. You can also add a tbsp of water per egg and that will result in a fluffier egg. I usually abstain, but for certain meals I'll add an appropriate mixer to achieve the…

Another great protip is that you can drown anything in ranch dressing.

As an IT consultant, I do a lot of faking it til I make it. If you go into someone's office with a real headscratcher of a problem and fumble around like you don't know which end of a USB cord is up, they're gonna worry and a problem that might not be a big deal will suddenly become the worst disaster the company has…

Wen we bought our house and started renovation, I picked up a dewalt cordless circular saw. My dad brought his corded model. I was really impressed with the Dewalt and the only time we broke out the corded model was when we had to cut through 1.5 inch thick oak countertop.

So, basically, I need to live to be 110...

Yah, I didn't include tax. We have 7% where I'm at, so it would be $69 even. I agree 2 1/2" deck screws would be a better choice.

2 sheets of 4x8 7/16 OSB, 16 8' 2x4s, and a box of deck screws.
