Following a particular nasty clog (having to do with young children and what doesn’t go into toilets), the plumber suggested I forgo plungers altogether and go for an auger. As a homeowner, I can’t imagine not having one of these.

Many don’t realize that good schools contribute to your property values, whether or not you have children who attend.

Only one way to find out.

Question: What is the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper? Answer: One is cleaver, utilizes a talent and understands nuance, while the other deals with debits and credits (I’m oversimplifying of course). TT is a bookkeeping program that while presumably accurate could not possibly understand nuance.

“I had no idea the interest was deductible. I missed out and kicked myself for it years later.”

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a garlic press, let alone used one. Cleaning them is a PITA, wastes good garlic, and mincing is so easy with a decent knife. Owning this is a solution looking for a problem.

These cook at different rates: Steel-cut oats may take 30 minutes to cook, while rolled takes less than half that time. Should they be cooked separately then combined?

Red flags during the interview, but you took a job there anyway?

Amazon allows you to require a code to be spoken before a purchase is made. “Parental Control” is nothing new.

That is one supposedly nonpartisan, multilingual, truly international, aforementioned, semi-official website.

While I might consider this as an option for a personal flight, here’s my concern; now that these fares exist, how long will it be before my company, who insists I take the lowest priced ticket, require that I travel Basic Economy?

That setting does not appear on my version of Google Photos for some reason. I think I have the latest build of photos and the camera app, and on a Nexus 5X with latest Android too. Is there a different version of Photos?

A friend of mine has this thing:

Most of my suits have an inner pocket inside one or both of the front pants pockets - I presume just for this purpose.

(Just try not to drizzle them in Frank’s and scarf them down before they make it into the pot.)

Saves time on cooking, might add time on cleanup

I don’t care how neat it is, buying a fan for the price of an AC unit is impossible to justify. At the end of the day, it’s still a fan (and you’re still hot).

Did anyone else get the impression that the audio and video had little to do with each other? I kept checking to be sure I was getting both from the same feed.
