@AcidReign: ok, well, $350 is still a little over my budget. i've got too many things to fix on my car already with a cracked windshield, dead cd player, and two windows that don't roll up properly, all of which went bad within a few months of the handle breaking after no major problems since '99 when I got the car. …

@AcidReign: $200 eh? Well, this is why I didn't even bother to check how much it would cost when my handle broke off on an exceptionally cold day. I'm now using a much softer, more flexible handle which just happens to be made out of duct tape.

i kinda like earning 5% on my paypal balance and then using my paypal debit card, but paypal is of course not a bank and that does make some people skittish about storing money there.

what becomes difficult is deciding what to do when you very carefully and respectfully address something important to you, and the other person does nothing to resolve the issue. do you simply walk away from the situation, put up with it, or continue to state your case to defend yourself? i believe there is a huge…

I'm curious, does this much better than using Last Tab and Showcase? I usually find that preview apps like this take a moment to load anyway, so I'm wondering, wouldn't it be possible to actually open the tab and then just use Last Tab to tab back if it's not what you're looking for? Or if you're looking for a tab…

@pdok: Second the xeriscape.

wait, so there are people using this site who haven't heard that song before? can you tell me where you live so that i can live there too? or at least, is there someone here who lives in a place where they don't hear this song every 5 minutes?

@joshua: is it really stealing if they just give it to you? i understand what you're saying and yes, it probably would have been best to call after a few months without billing, but it's not technically the same as stealing. in fact, if hackles77 made a good-faith effort to fill out all the appropriate paperwork at…

@David Kaufman: If you're looking for an SMS service, why not use the Google SMS? Just text 46645 (GOOGL). I've been using it for about 6 months and find it comes in handy constantly.

Interesting word play, but I'm going to be stuck thinking about getting things djone for awhile, after my first read.

@The Mysterious Mr. Fgsfds: "These jokes aren't even funny. Not even chuckle-worthy."

@Rajio: I think a feature on not being lame on 4/1 is definitely in order. At the very least, someone should learn that a good April Fool's Day prank is about focus and effort, not just making scattershot attempts at irony.

Please, at 12:01 AM, when it is officially 4/2/07, delete all of these April Fools Day "jokes."

AAAAAYYYYYYYUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! If you keep posting these things, the terrorists will win!!!!!!

I used to live down the street from someone who seemed to have a garage sale every month, with a ton of items. I have no idea where it all came from since it seemed like that home should have been empty after the third or fourth sale. On the other hand, it didn't seem very likely that the elderly couple who lived…

Just wondering, will these pens demagnetize debit cards and others fairly easily? sallysings mentions her card getting demagnetized, but does that happen very often? And would one of these magnets, or these magnet pens be enough to kill the card?

Doesn't anyone else find "Beaners" to be a mildly inappropriate name for a coffee shop?

you know, you could just make your own chocolates with an ice cube tray, your chocolate of choice, and a filling of your choice. last year, i gave my girlfriend some and won her mother over at the same time. all it took was some milk chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey, amaretto, and cinnamon.

Greenpeace and other groups have been warning consumers for years about the dangers of using PVC and when working on a DIY project, it seems like a great time to use alternatives. Greenpeace recommends Polyethylene pipes in a number of cases, and it seems that PE would make the most sense here instead of other…

whether or not tp works equally well as tissues really depends on which brands of each you compare. also, when i use tp to blow my nose, i tend to use more and it becomes alot messier due to the lack of space to umm... cover your trail? how about just using some seventh generation or other recycled tissue if you're…
