For work, we use Airtran and they're stellar about giving me bulkhead or emergency seats. Personally, I use Southwest and get early boarding every time. Bulkhead seats are like a dream come true and worth not being stuck with knee problems for a few days after landing

I'm 6'7" and I've never had a flight attendant tell me I couldn't sit in an exit row if a seat is empty. The check in counter cares, the gate cares, but the flight crew doesn't. Once you're on the plane, they're going to try to make everyone comfortable because it helps them out in the long run.

He mentions 200 year old wood from the Adirondacks.. I'm guess probably the spruce and not the maple. That begs the question, why is he using white spruce instead of sitka? or engelmann? I've tore down a collapsing barn on my property a few years back and all the second-floor flooring was white spruce. The barn was…

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

I cut them very finely so that I'm boiling almost hash brown-sized pieces of potatoes (prevents lumps). When mashing, I usually pour some milk in as I'm doing so and it seems to make things fluffier and have a smoother taste. After mashing is when I mix in some sour cream and end up with the potato equivalent of…

So we've turned from gaming "highlights".. to each episode being mostly footage of players experiencing bugs...

The anti-smoking PSA's in NY are super disturbing.. but having a drunk driving PSA during a sporting event... where the major sponsors are beverage companies.. you know that would never fly.

1) Don't forget to clamp, 2) make sure you aren't drilling into the surface of your workbench, and 3) make sure the jig actually matches the thickness of your door, so the holes aren't drilled at an angle

Or with an appropriate, non-default texture pack

And owning your house is cheaper than renting a house/apt in the long run too, but in the short term, most younger people can't afford a house. So really, it is like the car market— renting/leasing, financing/mortgage... And you're not taking into consideration that a interest on a 30yr/5% mortgage is almost exactly…

To be fair, I don't think the argument here has been about interest rates.. Fundamentally its about minimizing depreciation

Great rebuttal.. but needs a #5. I'm in the market to replace my wife's 2004 Escape AWD with 180k miles because a) its requiring increasing amounts of garage time/$ and b) we have a newborn and I'm quickly turning into an over-protective dad. Buying even a 5-year-old car won't net me the same level of security and…

Exact same story here.. and one I hear from a lot of other dads. We're 36 1/2 weeks through pregnancy number 2 and looking forward to our boy in just a couple weeks :)

6'8 and flying is murder. At least 75% of the time, I'll be reclined upon, usually while using a small laptop for work. When I fly personally, I get early boarding for SWA or try to sweet talk a flight attendant into giving me a exit row or bulkhead seat. Unfortunately, I don't get special consideration for my height…

Rebuilding a single cabinet to make it shorter to accommodate a taller fridge.. The savings vs buying new or asking a cabinet shop to do it paid for the deluxe

Big fan of Kryptek camo.. already comes in appropriate colors and outperforms MultiCam.. Heck, A-TACS is miles better than MultiCam

In terms of film preservation, one of the Kodak conservation facilities is just down the road from me— http://macabredanseofnitratefilm.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/the…

Singing the song of angry men

Do you hear the people sing?
