Yep. Even with the pet dental month discount we were paying $500-600 for totally uncomplicated cleaning for our older dog. (We always opted for pre-op blood work and post op fluids to help make sure.)

Yeah...that's a really good point.

The image you chose for this piece is it. We (and by we I mean my partner like 92% of the time) brush our dogs' teeth every night. Our younger pup is 3 and the only dental work he's had is when he broke a tooth and had to have root canal and reshaping of the remaining part of the tooth. He's never had to have his…

If you and/or your partner/family/whomever have prescriptions you need filled and you can fill them at Target you can get an additional 5% off coupon for every 5 prescriptions you fill. And usually twice a year they do double credit months where you get a coupon for every 2.5 prescriptions. They send a card for…

Being a big step doesn't mean it's necessarily not a good step. You clearly do understand the issues and you also clearly feel like this is a good thing to do. Which is a reasonable position to take, I think. But adding more biological components from more people in making babies is also, to my mind, a big deal. The…

There's no splicing. There's no manipulation of the actual DNA in that they're taking the nucleus out in tact and putting into another egg that has healthy mitochondria. There's no changing of the DNA.

"Real sports fan?"

Well...they probably are now.

I've gotten emails from product makers in the past when their products are involved in hive five or most popular polls like this on Lifehacker and Giz. Thing is, I got those emails because I owned and used the product. So I was only aware of the opportunity to vote because the product maker told me, but I only voted…

A friend of mine cooks brunch every Sunday and something between 25 and 45 people show up (it's for college kids...free food...). He serves a rotating menu of things like coffee cake, freshly made waffles and scrambled eggs and turkey sausage with hash browns. I gave him the green tabasco in an engraved gallon jug…

Honest to god, Rachel Ray's Week in a Day Sunday mornings early on the Food Network is fantastic for this. She does real stuff, really cooking, 5 recipes that usually have a lot of overlap.

Depends on the intended use. If it's ground meat and going in chili or tacos or sauce, just nuke it on a really low power for a while and then chuck it in your pan and let it do the rest of the defrosting as it cooks. If it's wrapped in plastic, put it in a tub or pan in the sink and run water into the tub while…

Yeah....this is the crux of it. We're going to have Amazon Prime regardless, my brother has Netflix and we swap logins for services. Thus far, though, we pay for an awful lot of bandwidth and Comcast has made the TV good enough and cheap enough in addition to the internet that we've kept it. They also keep improving…

If anyone does have access to your phone (i.e., you're in a library and step away to put a book back on the shelf or something...whatever the situation where someone can pick up your phone for a moment) that person can see all of that information. It's a security risk in terms of the information.

The same ease with which this allows medical folks to access necessary info/data allows anyone at all with 8 seconds of access to your phone to get it. It's problematic. If you've got health issues that are that vital, think about a medic-alert or something similar. I had a lung transplant and there's a ton of info…

The video tells a fairly remarkable story.

Pasteurized eggs (Davidson's Safest Eggs most everywhere) are excellent for this. The only downside to pasteurized eggs is that the whites don't whip up worth a damn. In this preparation that doesn't matter.

Eggs and tortillas:

Those Skiva cables rock. My wife got one for the car for iPhone and bluetooth headset charging and it has lasted well beyond the apple branded lightning cables we used before it. Great price, too.
