Unless the wings fall off they have some (very limited) navigational abilities, and some minimal gliding ability although it’s probably like trying to fly a cinder block.  

That last paragraph in the article isn’t brought up often enough, planes have wings even without a motor they generally don’t just fall straight out of the sky when they lose power or have mechanical failure. Helicopters, while a bit terrifying to see do have the retrograde motion of the prop as it falls to keep it…

I’m really curious on this one, the last time I used any kind of a vacuum that was cordless was a very long time ago. I think it was one of those Black & Decker cordless hand vacs and it could barely pull dry clumps of dirt into it off of some tile. With that said batteries and efficiency have come a long way in the…

YOU ARE FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the laugh. Not sure if this tops thawing my food in my washing machine, but Lifehacker has been killing it lately.

Washing machine to thaw frozen food!? That’s ludicrous everyone knows the safest fastest way to dethaw frozen food is putting it in a ziplock freezer bag and then dropping it into your toilet. The trick here is you have to keep flushing to agitate the frozen food because as we all know your food won’t be unfrozen…

Love Logitech hardware, had an original G15 keyboard that lasted me a little over a decade.  Their software has always been a bit lacking in the UX department.

$39,600 / 198 illegal keys = 200 per game. Ten times the $20 asking price. (I did not look up the cost of the game so with this math I’m assuming it was a $20 game)

The wording is a little confusing, but 10 times the cost of a single game multiplied by the number of infractions 198.  I tried rewriting that last line a…

A/S/L       -Creepy 90's AOL

I got into Thao and the get down when I was listening to a lot of KEXP radio from Seattle, Washington via their amazing web site while I was living in Alaska. There was a couple drive home DJ’s that played the hell out of a couple of their albums. Glad to see they’re still crushing it.  

Oh man, the hours I lost playing Advanced Wars on road trips.

Yes! I want a quick recipe not a 3,000 word essay on how a simple steak and potato wedges dinner brought your crumbling family back from the brink.

My last apartment’s kitchen was literally a closet that had the sliding doors removed.  It was wide enough for an oven, sink and about 18 inches of counter next to the sink.  It was a miserable kitchen, my current apartment still has a small kitchen, but it’s twice the size of my last kitchen.

Fun side note, if you want to reply to a comment someone left you have to click through the 10 pages again as clicking the comment button on the first page does nothing. I can’t think of a work appropriate word for this so we’ll just call this new format dumpster fire 2.0: A guide to losing your readers.

I guess I’m the first one to be willing to click through 10 pages to leave a comment saying I’m not a fan of clicking through 10 pages for what could have easily been a single page post. Is this an experiment or where things are going for the site?

Be warned, once you have a HTPC that can play games in your living room there’s no going back. I did this years ago when I cut the cord on TV, but still wanted to watch a few shows here and there, but got tired of the infighting between manufacturers for what streaming solutions they would or wouldn’t allow on their…

Would you fly in a plane if it was made by Huffy.  Kinda feel like the Pinto was the Huffy of bike of cars.

I can’t say I’ve ever contemplated buying jewelry for my computer, but because of this I’m now asking myself a lot of weird questions.

$25 you say, I might have seriously dig into this and do some googling get a bit more info and then make this happen.  Thanks for the input.

For the most part I really like my kindle paperwhite. I ended up grabbing a bunch of the classics in ebook form off of Project Gutenberg. I also turned off the highlight option as it was mildly annoying. The other mildly annoying thing is the ads I get on my paperwhite. I read some fantasy, lots of Sci-Fi and a lot of…
