I’m sure someone at Fox News will say something like “Obama wouldn’t have the courage to attack Iran” or Ann Coulter will say calling it off makes him look weak, and given Trump’s thin skin, he will plunge us into war to try to make himself look tough to Fox News. Ugh...

That stuff is incredibly heavy and expensive. That’s roughly 13lbs for a tent, pack, bag and pad (and pillow). Ouch. You can spend a lot less and be at about 7-8lbs (which is still heavy for the big 4) and still have pretty decent gear.

You’ll see more as the 2020 election approaches. Trying to save their own skin so they don’t get dragged down with Trump. Vote them all out.

That’s only because you don’t understand the purpose of the census. It’s to measure population, not citizenship. For example (and only one), if a city is trying to estimate how many funds are going to be needed for emergency services or infrastructure, it needs to know how many people are in the area, not just…

Don’t get a LifeStraw. Invest in a Sawyer Mini or a Sawyer Squeeze for the same price or just a little more. So much better.

Maybe I missed something but the big thing in the article seems to be the automatic sorting into categories (like Dairy or Fruits/Vegetables)? How is this different than what Out of Milk does? Same with collaborative lists and stuff.

Yeah, it’s mounted like two inches on top of the door, so you just have to push the paper in and angle it up a bit to trigger it.

We have doors at work like this and we can just slide a piece of paper between them near the top to trigger the motion sensor. Very secure, but has saved me a couple of times when I’ve “locked myself out” by forgetting my badge.

If you actually read the article (gasp!), car ownership actually averages $523-$706, so this is actually about half that. You have payments, insurance, maintenance, cleaning, gas, and depending on you situation, inspection fees and parking and car registrations fees. Not to mention any potential traffic or parking…

So you’re saying they aren’t included with Prime. Just like I said.

But Prime only includes old/completed HBO stuff. No Game of Thrones or Westworld for instance, but you can get The Wire, Oz, Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.

Good idea. I use my points for XBOX Gold and XBOX Game Pass, so those are “free” for me, but I’m about a year ahead on both, so I might start using them for Hulu now...or maybe streaming movies for newer releases or something like that. I’ll have to look to see what’s available.

Also, if you set it up right it should…

The study took into account “quality” programming, regardless of whether it’s an original or not. So maybe a highly rated show like Seinfeld or something is on Hulu but not Prime. From the article: “Reelgood looked for just the 20,000 most popular shows and movies among its users, minus any that were very poorly rated…

I just pay for all 3 (Hulu, Netflix and Prime). Still costing me something like $100 less than cable, although admittedly I cut the cord about 6 years ago so I’m not even sure what it would be costing me today. People bitch about the quality/selection but there’s still more than I can watch. Even just for Netflix and…

Same. I put my phone on my treadmill and watch Netflix thinking it would count it when I entered my 45 minutes of running. No such luck.

I haven’t watched Unfortunate Events but does it have an intro before the theme? If so, I don’t know that it lets you skip. Seems to be only on series where the intro is first. My guess is they know how long the theme song is, so if it’s first, they just know know to skip to point X. For example, it knows the theme…

I’m 45 with about twice saved! Woo-hoo! Oh wait...

Signed up for an invite! Not sure I’ll actually use it since I feel the library and thrift stores/yard sales might be a better deal, but it is intriguing for new, undiscovered books.

I bought one of these (a different version of the Philips one during one of these deals: the HF3520 model for $97 at the time) and was pretty disappointed in it that it was missing some common features. No battery backup. It doesn’t auto-set the time when plugging it in or adjust for daylight savings (something my 20…

Due to life events I had to downgrade to a less-than-stellar neighborhood. I’ve taken it upon myself to clean up a bit. I’m surprised by how many people just want to walk around in their own litter/trash in the neighborhood. Take a little pride in your area.
