The fact that you think your 20s is the most important decade of life is disturbing. No single decade of your life is more important than another, IMO.

Doesn't white toilet paper have bleach in it?

Is it really only 21 months for smart phones? I think that's more when a person gets tired/bored of a smartphone, not necessarily when it "expires". I've been using my iPhone 4 pushing 4yrs now and it's still going strong.

sooo...

I guess if you're stranded and the only thing you have is a few cans of pop, some popcorn kernels, oil and fire and you NEED to eat, it may be a good idea, BUT if not, then I would avoid it. I don't think pop cans were meant to be used as cookware and there's some information linking aluminum with alzheimers, not to…

Better yet, do it yourself, save yourself a couple hundred bucks. All you need is a spray gun, an air compressor, and a good set of tall hydraulic jack stands.

sooo let's think about this: keep a hammer and a spark plug on hand in order to break the spark plug with the hammer so you can throw the ceramic at the window... instead of, y'know.... USING THE HAMMER!

I agree, everyone should be willing to participate BUT should also be properly compensated! Sorry, but any amount of time not being paid (1 week or 1 month) will be a hardship to most people. In Ontario, Canada, jurors get paid nothing for the first 10 days of a trial, $40/day for the next 11-49 days and $100/day for…

one word: kids

I don't have cable myself. Netflix and Hulu has more than enough kids shows but when I put netflix/hulu on for my young kids there's no way to set up a queue of different shows to play. They can either watch a few episodes of the same show or I have to go and change it for them after every episode…

You should also save for when gas hits $8/gallon... So save all that extra cash now for when it hits $8/gallon... (FYI, this is a sarcastic way of saying 'I don't see the point in this').

Ctrl-F5 as well.

Let me rephrase that — it didn't "fail", but I realized that RaspberryPi doesn't support G729.

OK your circumstances are not common. But for the sake of argument, if you had been renting a house for the last 13 years instead of owning, and let's say you were paying $1500/mo for rent (based on the average cost of renting something decent where I live). That's $18,000/yr; $234,000 over 13 years, and what would…

Just set up Rasplex on my Raspberry Pi and lovvvveee it. I can use my iPhone or iPad as a remote, but what I accidentally figured out is my TV's remote works too. FANTASTIC!

All "buying" did was cost me thousands and thousands of dollars that I will never see a return from

here?

IMO, renting a house is a waste of money. You're practically paying the same amount of a mortgage (at least where I live renting & owning is a very similar cost). So to me it makes no sense to throw money into something that you'll never get back. I recently bought my second home (sold the first for a good profit) ...…

we have a protective cover for my son's mattress but one time we forgot it and he had an accident overnight. We cleaned the stain with some vinegar and a cloth then sprinkled a thick layer of baking soda over the stain and left it there for the entire day to soak up the smell. By the end of the day, the smell had…

#1, I personally use Chrome and iTunes (which seems to be norm around here now)

#2, the fact that you're using the default "IE is garbage" argument that most uninformed people use because they don't know any better, proves that you're more a sheep than the people you seem to be criticizing. I'm a web developer and if…

How is the desktop standing? If it's only a countertop, what holds it up? I don't see legs. Are there L bracks on the walls and side?
