Having dated an audiologist for awhile, I got an earfull (intended) of her opinion about OTC hearing aids. Hearing loss is not an across-the-spectrum issue, so an audiologist is needed to identify the specific requirements for each person. The (inexpensive) audio technicians that were appearing in many pharmacies at…

Half-Life. 1 and 2, really. They’re so good, people are still upset at GabeN there isn’t a Half-Life 3...

Oh man... From the moment Umbrella Academy showed the second person dancing to “I Think We’re Alone Now” in S1E1, I knew the music for the whole show was going to be on point. And I was not wrong. She does great work!

Sun-Dried Tomatoes are great. I’m not so wild about cream cheese as a sauce base. It mutes all the other flavors so much. imho.

Yes and no. Many toxins have an astringent or bitter taste, so animals avoid them. But Humans drink coffee and tea constantly...
And there are chilies...

Build the aiming reticule into a face mask and Adam becomes DeadShotMaus. ;>

The America’s Test Kitchen Weeknight Roast Chicken is a dead simple and delicious method.

Google Toolbar, Internet Explorer, and Friendster were “Best”?!?! They were all terrible and it’s good they’re gone. Best pieces of malware and privacy invasion, maybe...

The rest of the list is pretty good though. 

The sherbet punch my parents made when I was a kid used 7Up instead of ginger ale, and when the did spike it, it was with rum, IIRC...

I was going to mention that one too. It’s by Atlas Games.

I’ll third Dixit. And, if you want more structure in a Dixit-like game, Mysterium is pretty enjoyable.

Ever since seeing Alton Brown’s Honey Brined Smoked Turkey, this is  basically how I do mine. I love how it turns out. I have a barrel-type BBQ, tho, so no snake. And I like lots of smoke flavor. And a dry pan under the turkey to catch the drippings for smoked grave is the bomb.

I’m rather spoiled, as my family is full of good cooks, so everything is well made. (Even if it’s something I don’t like...) That said:
Team Pecan Pie, moonlighting with Team Pumpkin Pie, and trying to get Team Quince Pie into the big leagues.
Stuffing is evil. Dressing is good. Traditional Chestnut dressing is really…

Yes. And no. You’re not wrong, but that becomes a bit of a rabbit hole, and applies to some of the other choices her. For instance, the recommended Doorleys and Clement have tastes that are as far apart as Laprhoaig and Buffalo Trace.

Doorley’s is an excellent choice, by the way. But if you want to go up that quality…

How sharp a knife is, isn’t about the knife itself, but about the sharpening process. You can make a crappy blade razor sharp with the right technique. How long it will hold that edge and how much effort it takes to put it on the blade are about the quality of the steel in the knife.

When my friends and I turned 17-18, we figured it was a bit on the old side to Trick-or-Treat, but we still wanted a cut of the fun and candy. So, we still dressed up, and went out, we just waited until 9pm to start and called ourselves the candy-clean-up-crew. :>

The particular gear straps may not be available, but check out Wall Control’s metal pegboard, if you want something solid, functional, and comes in a range of solid colors.

“The Professional” as written by Wes Anderson?

Pardon my French, but fsuck SaaS. As an IT guy dealing with a migration to Office 365, SaaS is anti-consumer, pro-profiteering, and MS doesn’t even seem to be doing it that well.

Can we please throw off these shackles and go back to actually owning the stuff we pay for already?

In my experience, “dad joke” refers to any pun. Which I object to, because my mother is the one I get my punning from.

We all know that 6 was afraid of 7 because 7 8 9, but did you know 2 was also afraid? 4 6 8 10.

I’d like to tell you about my friend who pens songs about sewing machines. He’s a Singer…
