If renting is cheaper than buying, then the houses in your area are overpriced.

Back in my youth, I abused a number of OTC cold medications. Knowing how to read the labels on medicine is a valuable skill I learned as a byproduct. I just wish I would have learned it without the substance abuse.

I’ve always considered my “F*ck Off Price” as the price I ask for jobs I don’t want to do.

I’ve never felt the “draw the bitter out” is something that happens. I salt my eggplants to dry them out so that they don’t turn to mush.

My dad’s way of teaching me cars was to sell me an 87 ford taurus with a blown engine and an 88 mercury sable with a blown transmission...

I’ve got a kinda weird decompression... I’m a tech consultant and my main gig right now is the technical parts of managing a wireless ISP and babysitting a small datacenter.

I would almost never buy something at full price. If you see something you want, I can promise you that if you look/wait around, you’ll be able to find it for at least 30% off.

They aren’t the only guys, there are a few niche brands out there. FINEX makes an excellent piece of cast iron, but they are significantly more expensive

If your grill pan is letting the juices flow away, you aren’t hot enough. The juices are supposed to convert to steam almost instantly, improving the cooking by steaming your food in addition to the direct contact.

Grill pans heat you food a bit differently. You get the pan really hot and toss your food on. The raised “grill” directly heats your food and the liquid that runs off collects in the channels and converts to steam, heating your food in a gentler way. I would say that it’s purpose is when you want to be gentle with a…

I haven’t figured out how to streamline my grocery experience. I’m a bit obsessive compulsive and need to walk through all the aisles. It’s a pain in the ass when I know I just need one thing and know exactly where it’s at.

I think you’ll have to give it a whirl and find out. It isn’t how long you cook it, it’s how long the right amount of heat is on the part in question. With a spatchcocking, the heat gets to it faster, and starts breaking it down sooner. With a trussed bird, the bits in question may still be cold a half hour into…

Next, spatchcock a bird and compare the quality. Spatchcocking is my favorite way to prepare a whole chicken. First, remove the wishbone with a paring knife then get a good pair of kitchen shears, cut from the end all the way up one side of the spine, spread the bird open until the keelbone pops, then pull it out. Lay…

I would prefer if they split the list between things that are safe for us but are actually toxic, which things are dangerous, and which things are just unpleasant.

Assuming you mow the lawn once every two weeks for 6 months of the year (13 mowings). Assuming your child will do it from the age of 13-17 (5 years for a total of 65 mowings). Assume that paying someone else’s kid costs you 20$, that’s a savings of $1300 already. Factor in there all the snow shoveling, dishes, and any…

No, as I said in my other comment. RAM is storage. The more things you store in your ram, the less your computer needs to go back to the HDD to access it, making your computer run faster.

No, I’m talking about memory. It is volatile short term storage. Letting it sit idle is a waste of resources. The obsession with keeping your memory free is tantamount to storing all of your clothes in a box in the basement (hard drive) because you think you need to keep your dresser (RAM) empty.

Do you think that the benefits you’ve described are meaningful? I get that there is a theoretical benefit to doing so under certain circumstances, but do you actually think in your regular day to day usage, you realize those benefits?

There is an option to let Windows manage it. Let Windows manage it...

No, it isn’t.... Memory is storage. You don’t leave your dresser with 4 out of 5 drawers empty, do you?
