Thanks I’ll try this, I usually use denture cleaner (mint flavored) for cleaning out my old funky camel backs from last seasons bike riding adventures.  I’ll see how it does some resin.

DO NOT do the boiling water and vinegar in a pot unless it’s an old one you plan to dedicate to that one purpose alone in the future. It will leave a nearly impossible to remove resin skin to the pot making it useless for anything else, also you place will stink like resin for a while if you have an exhaust hood over…

Parents weren’t fans of video games, but didn’t see them as “the devil” either. I remember getting an Atari 2600 gifted to all of us kids (there were 4 of us) from our uncle. I was young enough initially that I didn’t understand what it was, but I still have fond memories of playing Atari 2600's horrible reproduction…

Cheap ass pair of flip flops to walk out the garbage is about it.

I would agree nearly $200 for jumper cables only works if they are Monster Jumper Cables. (if you know monster cables you get the poor joke, overpriced audio gear). I’d also say get an old timey tire gauge, as rare as it is to check your tire pressure I’d rather not have to worry about the battery in an electronic one…

Windows mixed reality headsets are an option for those that don’t want to mess with facebook and have a decent gaming PC. I picked up a Dell WMR headset with controllers for $200 a few years back and it’s still plenty fine for playing stuff like Half-life Alyx, Beat Saber, or Star Wars Squadrons. Also at $200 I feel…

Have a couple very expensive Panasonic laser projectors at work for our lecture hall and I will say laser projection is uh-maz-ing if just because the old projectors with their 1000-4000 hour bulbs that cost nearly as much as the projector really made it tough to buy into projectors when you’d be replacing the bulb ($2…

I keep 2-3 streaming services at a time and rotate them throughout the year with whatever service I want to watch. Since I can hop onto a service, binge a few shows I really want to see then cancel and move onto something else. I’ll be doing my annual check at the end of the winter since I usually cut it down to 1 or…

I’m about to write another wall of text out of spite now =P

It’s called “low hanging fruit” you don’t need to get everyone, just a handful of people is enough to start ruining people’s day.

I had a pretty nice down jacket when I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska USA and it was pretty amazing how warm you could be at -30 F.     I sold it when I moved from Fairbanks as I was moving to a desert (PHX) from the arctic.

Don’t know about these jackets as it’s waaaaaay out of my price range for jackets, but being a…

My favorite scam someone out of their info I’ve seen recently is....

—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—

What kind of crazy black magic are you talkin.... oh it works, wow, seriously thanks for the tip.  Although lifehacking lifehacker makes me think something has gone terribly wrong.

WARNING: I was not expecting to write a wall of text that borders as some kind of incoherent manifesto, consider yourself warned...

Yeah, not a fan of the slideshows. Half the time I see one I panic and think I clicked one of those ad-supported links at the bottom of a page and am now on some trash website about to find out which Smurf I am.

Phew, I’m doing it proper when it comes to tearing parchment from the roll. I now am compelled to check these kinds of thing since that Ted Talk where I found out I’ve been tying the knots of my shoelaces backwards and in the “weak” form of the knot my whole life. It always makes me wonder what other blind spots I…

Maybe I haven’t had the right egg nog. I’ve tried the store bought stuff a few times and a few friends concoctions they’ve made. In the end it always seems like a weird watered down pancake mix I’m drinking. As to the a few of the other comments on here my friend who loves the ‘nog says the only way to drink it is…

Old consoles go to the closet, and then after a few years I go through all the stuff in that box buried in the corner of the closet. My last consoles were almost all hacked to be media consoles, my original Xbox was hacked with XBMC and was a really great media player for nearly a decade before media players became…

I don’t know if I can still drink enough beer to make that game fun again. I know at one point someone was selling a Golden Tee Trackball and the base of the trackball hasd power and HDMI out to plug it into your TV. While I dearly love arcade cabinets I’ll probably never live in a space large enough to have the room…
