This is good advice. I've trained a number of field technicians. Having someone who doesn't understand what you're doing looking over your shoulder when you're cabling an installation, or going through troubleshooting steps really makes you think about every single action you make. It also made me acutely aware of the…

I always thought this was normal... I have never bought something with the idea that if I didn't like it I would return it. But, I'm also the type of guy who will spend a month thinking about buying something before I actually buy it.

I didn't write the opposite of what the article wrote. I wrote what some people actually believe in such a straightforward way that it would be difficult for those people to admit what they believe without admitting they are idiots for doing so.

I don't understand your response.

My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek when I posted the previous comment.

I'm a fan of quinoa. It's great in salads. Eating it for health benefits is crap. There are lots of better ways to get your protein on if you are limiting yourself to a veg diet. Soybeans contain 29g of complete protein in a 1 cup serving (mature, boiled). There are concerners who will advise against eating too much…

These won't work very well. It's a well established fact that the markup on speaker wire directly contributes to the sound quality.

This is an interesting proposal, I don't think it will work for me because my strawberries are still spending a lot of energy establishing themselves and mulch would be counterproductive to growing more runners.

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.
