Actually, they want you to throw your shade...up. So shade-up about it, m’kay? ;p

Considering smells are particle based and moist air sticks to your nasal sensor cells far more than dry air. Your sensitivity doubles or triples in moist air. Now imagine a dog with 40 times that sensitivity.

Platypus Man and Heather may be absolutely right on. I would just like to posit for the sake of discussion that if the “average” temperature is 196 degrees roughly speaking (half way between 212 and 180), that is about 8% less energy doing the cooking on average. So if anything you might need 8% more time. If the…

I have never had to “lull” a mouse into eating peanut butter. They crave it. Just put the peanut butter on the regular trap. Wrap a piece of thread 4 or 5 times around the peanut butter and the trigger. They will catch their teeth in the thread, snap the trap, and you’re done. I learned this technique when I was…

Just take a length of thread and wrap it around the peanut butter. It catches their teeth and the trap snaps. Every time. I usually do 4 or 5 wraps, but I suspect that 2 or 3 would work too.

Hosefat. You can see why he preferred to go by his first name... The alternate “invokation” is the not as common G. Hosefat! (It was really “J. Hosefat!” but due to outrage over using the lords name in vain, people starting yelling, “G. Hosefat!” an not to wind the crank on the cranky.

That’s Cheeto Jesus to you!

My wife wants a heated toilet seat. I’d prefer to have a refrigerated one. The reactions I’d hear when I leave it running would be awesome...

I have a Dodge Dart. They are talking about the 1.4L Turbo. There is some turbo lag. There is a TSB where there is a pretty simple adjustment to the Turbo they can do to help remove some of that lag. I myself have gone further to upgrade the exhaust and the intercooler pipes. The lag is minimal and is easily…

Even if wine, beer or spirits aren’t the exact thing to break you out of your tastes, the point I was trying to make would help you break the cycle. In breaking the cycle you may meet someone that becomes a friend of some sort or maybe you meet someone that you connect with. Very few people die regreting that they…

It’s a matter of broadening horizons and challenging what you “know” to be true without having ever actually tried. Sure, you’ve sampled some things here or there, but firmly hold to very strong beliefs that really haven’t been properly challenged. It sounds like you’ve never taken the chance to really challenge it…

It’s not a matter of working to like X, but rather to see that X is not the same as X-prime, X-double-prime, X-triple-prime and in experiencing new things you are enriched. Learning to see the variety and enjoy the experience of trying something new is in itself an worthy experience. It’s like the old adage about it…

“And I’m far from miserable, I consider myself a pretty happy, positive person. Sometimes my personal tastes are annoying, sure, but at the end of the day it doesn’t bother me. I could probably work at changing them but I usually can’t figure out why I should.”

You come across as a pretty miserable sod. Maybe you’re great, maybe I’m wrong. I’m just saying that it sounds like A> You’re determined to not like anything. B> Trying things and keeping an open mind is too much work. C> It sounds like there is an underlying personality issue, that if you really took the time to…

From the sounds of it, you don’t like anything. Which I find to be ridiculous and absurd. There are so many different kinds I find that impossible. Meads, Lambics, Port (Tawny specifically), Ciders... heck, take a cheap Tawny Port from Trader Joe’s and mix it fifty-fifty with sprite. Do that with an expensive port…

It’s all about figuring out which side you’re going to err on. Assuming they really weren’t “YOUR” traffic cones as in their replacements didn’t come out of your paycheck, then yes, put them out. I’m sorry some drivers don’t take the time to control their vehicle and don’t think to drive in a way that suits the…

Exactly! All parties could have done better. 5 more minutes of cone work could have given drivers more warning. Drivers should act like there might be an obstacle over the next hill and slow down. Drivers behind them should be more patient. Plenty of responsibility to be shared by all in that situation but the cones…

For many, integrity is a blocked service. Yours appears to be in good working order.

Idiots don’t take critique and don’t revise their stance on something. You, sir, are not an idiot. Carry on.
