As a sun-burned child my mom would put some uncooked oatmeal in the toe of a nylon stocking and tie it off. She would draw a cold bath, stick us in and toss the oatmeal bag thing in there. I remember it being very soothing.

Battle for Wesnoth. It's a fun, turn-based actively developed RPG. Multiple races to play in many different campaigns, with leveling characters. Free on PC and Mac. The iPhone app costs around $5, I think, but you can sync it with your computer saved games to take the fun on the run. Really, Wesnoth is a shining star…

Redundant eagle knife is redundant.

I like this idea, and think I will adopt it. I am not afraid of saying I don't know. To be honest, I'm a pretty smart [redacted] but there is plenty I don't know. I have experienced backlash from people who refuse to admit the limits of their own knowledge and believe anyone who can say "I don't know" must not know…

CamelCamelCamel will show you a graph of the item's price over time. You can then decide a $ amount for an alert to be triggered. Seeing the price history helps, but it is always up to you to decide what you want to spend.

To be clear, I don't oil the baking stone when I make pitas. I do sprinkle water on it to generate steam, but no oil.

I have never made naan, but it seems like you could get good results baking it on an oiled baking stone in a regular oven. With a heck of a lot less work.

You should have at least one radio, in the not-impossible event a catastrophic natural disaster hits. Hurricane, tornado, earthquake, zombie apocolypse... Many radio stations are set up with generators to act as emergency broadcast stations.

Sonic boom is a result of velocity (of object, and of sound waves), not how an object achieves that velocity. A good anecdote: the space shuttles would lay down wicked sonic booms while gliding in for an unpowered landing.

From the hive-mind wiki: "Hafnium reserves are projected to last under 10 years if the world population increases and demand grows"

Useless? I think you could get one of those flying caterpillars. It seems obvious that the success rate is never going to be 100% because things are coming in really fast. But, get enough of them and you make a difference, right?

Man, that is sweet looking. Only, it is not compatible with the 12.x versions of Thunderbird.

No, I always go >160! That way my boss thinks something got cut off and I convince him his phone is broken. It's fun!

I WANT this for Windows 7! I use thunderbird to SMS via email all day long for work. I HATE having to copy the message and go to a character counting website to make sure it is >160.

Get on one of the crews going here:

Seeing as how the survival rate of trees that are just left alone is not quite 100%, you are probably correct.

You know how sometimes we irrationally identify an object by what is was used for once, and no manner of cleaning can change that? Yeah, this is gross.

Aaaaannnndddd... that's a heart-click folks.
