It’s not like someone found these photos in the back of a thrift store. The photos were taken by the guy who posted to Reddit, and he knows where the car is. It’s in a resident space in a retirement home. Can’t he stick a note under the windshield asking the owner to contact him? Or find out who rents that parking…

“Why on Earth would you store your knives in a block or a drawer when magnetic strips exist?” you ask? Ever seen what happens when something on a counter bumps the handle of a knife stuck to a narrow strip of weak magnets? Hint: it involves a lever, a fulcrum, applied force, and a very sharp piece of metal. Not…

Last sentence should have read “Which is both a felony and...”.

Trump was confessing to having fired Comey to reduce/halt the investigation that was putting him under a lot of pressure. That’s obstruction of justice. While he is both a felony and an impeach able offense.

For single-cup brewing: Bunn Single-Cup My Cafe MCU. It’s so much better than a Keurig they’re not in the same league, in terms of coffee quality.

RE the US Miniboom: Last winter I bought close to every sub-$200 Bluetooth speaker, and was really looking forward to the Mini-Boom, and was delighted to get one on eBay for $80. I was sorely disappointed. Not only did it not sound better than the others in its price range, it actually sounded worse (music I tried was…

I have the Musemee, and it's actually quite a lot better than my finger, or the usual rounded-tip stylii.

What about bicycle helmets? Since bicycles don't go all that fast compared to motorcycles, doesn't that mean bicycle helmets aren't very effective?

Yep, mine too. I used to use PINE (a text-only email program running on my employer's server) and it was bliss as far as sorting and filtering was concerned. Fast on-the-fly sorting by date, or alphabetically, or size, or whatever. And filters were easy to set up. I had to migrate to Gmail because of the increased…

Better choice is the Sony SLT line. All the controls of a DSLR, but no moving mirror.

Logitech and Razer both make left-handed mice.

I have a Kindle Fire, and have absolutely no complaints about its screen. I regularly look at photography blogs and the Kindle Fire renders the photos sharply and vividly.

I'm of the opinion that both Pentax and Sony make better and more usable cameras at each price point than either Canon or Nikon, and encourage anyone looking for a new camera to investigate both closely.

Agreed — I also have been greatly enjoying the same wide selection of Minolta autofocus lenses available for my Sony SLT-A65. After about six months of investigating, I decided against Canon and Nikon, and went with Sony for the much more interesting and useful feature set they offer, along with superb still image…

You are absolutely right that they don't put out a full spectrum. Here's an interesting study by Popular Mechanics. The first link here [www.popularmechanics.com] is an overview of the frequencies x luminescence produced by incandescents, CFLs, and LEDs. the second link, here [www.popularmechanics.com], is to the…

Thank you. I'm in general not a fan of prescribing language use, but "obsessed" is a word with a quite specific meaning, and using it to mean "interested in/like/etc." has the unfortunate effect of wiping out a very useful distinction.

The velcro ones are good, but not for rapid and frequent cord bundling; they also pick up dust and stuff (and sawdust in a workshop). In my workshop I use this product, which is sold for tying plants to stakes, but works great for appliance and tool cords, extension cords, wire, and anything else: [www.amazon.com]
