I've been selling on Amazon for a few years, and have been using FBA for the last six moths or so. It's great for small items that you have a lot of, and that you are able to make a large profit on. It's also a great way to distinguish yourself from other merchants. I use FBA for about half my items, and ship the…

Agreed. Not to mention crushed. What happens when something falls on your toe? Answer: you and your socks look like an idiot.

It's a reference to "Serial Mom", a movie from the '90s:

Before I read the article, I thought the idea was for a light that flashes when the driver behind you gets too close, starts weaving or doing something stupid, in order to get their attention and make them focus. That seems like a reasonable idea. But as everyone else has said, expecting a distracted driver to…

I was going to post the same thing, but couldn't decide how to properly spell "en" phonetically. Kind of a cross between a grunt and "einnghh". For Place, I'd go with "plaass".

I love these too! I find it really takes a lot of the stress out of cooking to have them all ready to go when I need them, and not have to mince a bunch of garlic on the fly. It's also very satisfying to have them all laid out before you start cooking; makes you feel like you're on a cooking show.

Mastering The Art Of French Cooking by Julia Child is pretty much the gold standard for old school french food. It's about $20.00 on Amazon. I don't really know what would be considered it's equivalent for more current food.

@rOy: So if an armed intruder breaks into my house, your advice is to shoot him with a paint ball gun? I'm sure that will stop him for a second, but what happens when he realizes he's not dead, and he's still armed, and now pissed off at having been shot with a paint ball?

Thank you everyone for the very helpful responses. You have given me some great ideas, and a good place to start my search. My father has a shotgun that he uses for home defense, and he says the same thing lots of you said: that sound will make most intruders think about finding an easier target (while pooping their…

I'm looking for a gun for home defense in CA. Needs to be accurate, reliable, not too expensive, 100% legal and be able to drop an intruder with one shot (unlike my Wife's .22). Any suggestions? I am planning on going to the gun store as suggested, and will also be firing my Dad's nine guns, along with our Police…

I've been considering getting a Grand Cherokee or a similar 4WD small(ish) SUV. Thanks for the info. Do you have any recommendations in the sub 15K range?

Community, Parks & Rec, and probably Fringe after this season. Sad.

That is Brilliant! Just arrest anyone wearing two layers of clothes at the door; case closed!

I can't see either of their faces, but I'm happily married, so I wouldn't fuck any of them. Or an iPad, for that matter. That thing just looks ridiculous. Next, they'll be offering one with a strap-on.

It seems like this idea wold be a lot more practical if you didn't announce exactly how it works, how to easily avoid it (two layers of clothes, mask, gloves, toss 'em when you're done) and the fact that you're doing it. They should have put the system in and not told anyone except the police, but then we would have…

Yikes, I think I'd rather fuck an Ipad than the one in the foreground.

God, I hope not. That show is amazing. Ron Swanson is my favorite TV show character ever.

Agreed. There's nothing more useless than a single purpose kitchen implement. It better either be able to do four things, or do that one thing amazingly well. This does neither.

I completely agree about the measuring. I measure the first time I make a recipe so I can have a baseline to tweak later, but that's it.

The spoon part's not bad, but it's enormous! It would take up way too much room, and seems like another solution to a problem most people don't have.
