UI responsiveness. Meaning, even on low end models, the base interface runs well. The increased cost is for better cameras, more storage, better screens, faster processors, etc. Just because you buy a cheap phone doesn’t mean you should have a stuttering sluggish UI.

This isn’t a blender. It’s a food processor shaped like a blender. A Vitamix’s blades can spin about twice as fast as this things.

What about the experience lacks polish? The Windows UI is smooth as butter even on low end devices and it feels pretty intuitive. My mother has no issue navigating around her Windows Phone.

When I’m making chicken stock in the pressure cooker, I’ll often leave it for an hour or two. I don’t put anything other than chicken carcasses and water in the pot. No salt, no herbs and spices, no vegetables, nothing. The end product is a canvas waiting for whatever you want to make. I’ll freeze it a quart at a…

I bought the game, got stuck at a part that I couldn’t beat, died dozens of times over the course of a couple of hours of trying and decided the game wasn’t very fun.

If you are interested in learning a thing or two, this is handy. If you are looking for a cost effective high performance home router, this is not handy.

This kinda smells of misinformation...

The pheromone solution is supposed to only be necessary for the initial seeding. Mosquitos will provide additional pheromone as the trap is used.

This solution does not require anything more than a place to hang a tire.

It isn’t a problem when you do the math. Your previous 5 years cost you less than your 5 years with your dyson. Your dyson is going to have to run for a couple more years before you reach a “break even” point with cheaper vacuums.

You’re better off buying a Cuisinart MCP 12 inch skillet (it is the same triple ply construction). They are currently running for $63 on Amazon, and they include a lid.

I thought we went over this already with the lighter soldering iron. These projects are dangerous and could cause serious injury.

Rubbing your chopsticks together is sorta an insult. It implies that they provided you cheap chopsticks.

Honestly, I don’t really understand this... The tech behind stingrays is pretty ordinary stuff. Hackers at Defcon have demonstrated identical products running out of a suitcase. Technologically speaking, it’s not a secret. We know how they work, and we know how to make them.

Yep, they do. Right out of the box as long as your Windows is up to date. The headphone jack even works, and (if you get one) the chatpad functions like a keyboard. Sadly, it requires hoops to make it function as a mouse, otherwise I’d consider it for my living room TV keyboard.

Right on the pulling force. I blame Benjamin Franklin for my poor mathematics.

The weight of the car is not really a great way to explain how much they pulled. They didn’t lift the car. They overcame the static friction necessary to start the car rolling.

You are much better off with an Intel Compute Stick or a Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300. A much more capable crappy slow computer you plug into your TV.

Deglazing is the process of removing cooked on bits from the bottom of a pan to use as a sauce. You usually deglaze with Wine or stock. You shouldn’t deglaze a cast iron pan because it damages the seasoning.
