The Kia K900. Apparently the best value in the ultra luxury market wasn’t a good seller without the luxury brand name to go with it, despite thousands in savings.

besides the very low risk of consuming a solvent, Canola is touted as a cheap and healthy choice. My doctor at the Johns Hopkins division of Healthful eating recommends avocado, olive, and canola oil over animal fats high in saturated fat.

I have their 18 inch chainsaw and it works quite well for me and my limited needs. next purchase will likely be the multi-head system with a pole saw, edger, and string trimmer. lots of other companies do the battery power station like dewalt, milwaukee, etc... you don’t have to do an Ego, that just fits my needs.

I drink in mostly insulated cups so I really only have the coaster sticking issue when I’m drkinking a coctail in glassware. years back I discovered Libby’s nob hill glasses that have small bumps on the bottom and prevent sticking to coasters. they change the game.

reminds me of an incident I dealt with back in 2007-2008 while working for another rental car company. 2 branches drove together to the same lot to get 2 cars. turns out the cars got swapped and no one noticed. one of the rentals cars was never returned by the renter so the branch reported it to the police, problem…

these power stations have relatively niche uses. I really like the platforms that utilize power tool batteries so you are getting the most bang for your buck. everyone at least has a cordless drill. might as well make that drill battery work double as part of a power station too. I’m building up my collection of ego…

I find most lifehacker articles try to recreate viral tiktok videos to validate them this is just a regurgitation of unverified information from a viral video.  no information in the article is from a reliable source.  what’s the point?

I’m a master gardener intern in MD. need to complete my volunteer hours this year to be moved off intern list. what state are you certified in?

the sun has no effect on ripening biologically, only ethylene gas. industrially produced tomatoes are genetically inferior in terms of taste, picked prior to full maturity, and placed in gas chambers to ripen quickly and uniformly. ideal taste can be obtained by ripening home grown tomatoes indoors after they have…

Your observations are not entirely accurate. the reason for bland grocery store is twofold. 1. in general, grocery store tomatoes are bred to look good with a long shelf life, not to taste good (although there are exceptions). To accommodate this they select cultivars that produce very low quantities of ethylene gas…

It doesn’t mater where on the plant the tomato is growing, just that you can pick it as soon as it begins to ripen and finish ripening it inside. those that began ripening on the vine will ripen inside just fine. picking a fully green tomato low on the plant is not beneficial nor will it have the appropriate flavor to…

first and foremost - all cars should have excellent headlights with the best tech available, i.e ultra bright and efficient LEDs, auto high beams, and curve adaptive headlights should all be standard on all cars. ideally pixel or matrix style headlights (adaptive driving beams) . every bulb in my house is an LED and…

I have a thing for tall boys (American kei cars) and would love to get the 2nd gen Kia Soul EV that was coming to US markets but was cancelled.  

Also important to note that for all the air being removed from a home via the range hodd, conditioned air should replace it, necessitating an energy recovery ventilator or a heat recovery ventilator, depending on your climate zone. you definitely don’t want to be pulling air out of your home only to have it…

A Maryland Classic, The Orange Crush

the worst habits include things that:

Kia as a brand is still relatively underrated despite the success of the stinger and telluride. I would say the Kia K5 is still quite underrated despite being a new model with a fresh design. sophisticated interior layout (especially for a kia), good fuel economy, AWD option, sporty styling on the exterior, best in…

Can you make it fast? no. can you make it fast...er? maybe?

I had a terrible job right out of college working for a rental car company between 2007 and 2010 and by far my 2 least favorite cars were the Chevy Aveo and the Chrysler PT Cruiser.

1. Excellent headlights with the best tech available, i.e ultra bright and efficient LEDs, auto high beams, and curve adaptive headlights should all be standard on all cars. ideally pixel or matrix style headlights (adaptive driving beams) maybe on higher trims. every bulb in my house is an LED and has been for the…
