“...even speed cameras for watching roads...”

For years now I’ve been using Trader Joe’s dried and pitted Montmorency Cherries soaked in brandy for my bourbon Manhattans (the family cocktail) instead of the standard Maraschino cherry. I just mix them together with some simple syrup to taste and refrigerate.

If only I could get a cool boxy SUV like a Ford Flex in a hybrid or ev configuration with rear van doors by a reliable Manufacturer... oh wait, that describes the Toyota TJ cruiser, can they won’t be available in the US... :(

Something often overlooked when considering stove efficiency is the required ventilation associated with it that impacts space heating and cooling. When it comes to gas stoves, a minimum of 300-500 CFM is required to be ventilated when the stove is in use. some manufactures even suggest higher CFM rating for…

you are correct in that most induction cooktops and ranges are expensive, but the reasoning for that isn’t the technology, it is because induction is treated as a luxury item and production is low. when they become more mainstream as a result of legislation like this the price will decrease due to economies of scale.…

You hit the nail on the head here. when most people think of electric stoves they imagine a stove with a heating element but induction is also electric and much more efficient and provides better control of the heat than standard electric and even gas. while you will have to use compatible cookware (cookware with a…

These aren’t the best vacuums for pet hair. If you want the best, get a shark vacuum with duo clean and zero M (but not the navigator with zero M)

why did no one consider using dark meat chicken?

Like the heathen I am, I buy the 4 pack of 1 pound salted butter bricks sold at Costco, storing them in my fridge. Nothing beats the satisfaction of making a razor thin mega sized pat for my morning toast that is almost as big as the toast it lays on.

If you plan to use your chore coat like an actual chore coat instead of just to make you look like an urban lumberjack I would recommend a chore coat from a real work wear company like Carhartt, Dickies, Red Kap, Duluth Trading, etc....

I live in Maryland and have BGE as our energy provider. Each month we receive a comparison of the amount of energy we use compared to “Average neighbors” who have similar home sizes and utilize all electric for heating/cooling/cooking as well as the “efficient neighbors” which is an average of the households that…

My wife is a kindergarten teacher and spends close to a grand each year is school supplies. help out your teacher with some supplies and give them a nice visa gift card around the holidays or at the end of the year for their hard work.

I wonder if they will have any of the English dubbed Miyazaki films that Disney produced for the US market.  

I mean the belt actually snaps. I never broke a standard full grain leather belt with notches (I have some over a two decades old in my closet) but I have broken belts made with ratchet systems in less than 2 years. the ratchet system itself isn’t the weak point but because the plastic notch strip that allows the belt…

The leather looks nice, and if it is a strong as they say that is the only thing really going for this belt (unless I’m missing something). Rachet belts with the same mechanism are not hard to come by and for the few I own, the buckles are indestructible, the only problem being the belt leather itself will often give…

Instead of buying herbs you can grow them year round inside. if you don’t think you get enough light just buy a planter with a grow lamp included or a separate grow light.

Being a big guy doesn’t mean you need to be a football player or drive a pickup truck. I’m 6'6 360lbs and have a beard too and drive a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. I wouldn’t say I have any extra love for small cars but I do love fuel efficiency/EVs and until the Rivian goes into production that limits me to mostly smaller…

At one point my CC debt had ballooned up to around 15k. I still have some CC debt on balance transfer cards, but it is significantly more manageable now. I used a mix of all 3 methods to reduce my debt. first I started by moving all my debt to various balance transfer cards to avoid incurring interest. Second, I…

While I’m not a teacher, my wife, mother, sister in law, mother in law and 6 cousins on my mother’s side are all teachers and from my experience the one thing teachers need as a gift is MONEY. Teachers are CRAZY UNDERPAID and are strongly prohibited from directly asking for money from parents, so instead, in my wife’s…
