Don't forget DP Review!

For a very brief time in the 80s, some supermarkets sold some mid- to tough steaks "Knife Tender". This meant they were run through a machine which used a similar process as this gadget to cut connective tissues in the meat.

Didn't work for me on the front page thumbnail but works with the full-size image in the post.

I got my vasectomy from Dr. Stopp in Rochester, NY. No joke. Every guy in Rochester knew Dr. Stopp; he was the guy to see.

How do you know if you have been stung by an actual honeybee?

An interesting concept and design, but take it from someone who has managed a couple hives as a hobby and won blue ribbons at the county fair — it's completely impractical.

Perhaps using a utility such as Game Booster (Windows), which shuts down unnecessary programs and services, would be useful too.

I'm with you on viewfinders: no viewfinder, no buy. I don't care if it is optical or electronic, but I have to have one. The stability of any camera cantilevered 18" from your body is problematic as are most displays in bright light.

Thanks for the correction from down I-5 in PDX.

That's all good, but if I understand correctly, Boeing does not install the interiors of the planes - they deliver them to the airlines unfinished. The airlines then have their contractors install the interiors and are responsible for seat pitches which make it impossible to open a laptop on your tray table and still…

Here in Oregon, Facebook decided to build their data center in an area which gets most of it's electricity from coal-fired plants.

Nice catch! I had assumed the name IRIS was in reference to the "eye".

I learned something new today. I can see why they would do that as hauling fuel for a generator way up there would be both a PITA and expensive.

The back roads and trails have been cleared of mines as have several meters immediately parallel to the trails. When nature calls, you don't want to stray off the road for than a meter or two.

Agreed; the writer was being unnecessarily insensitive, a bit cruel, and presents a bit of a shock-jock attitude. Perhaps they are avid hikers and are in a special spot for them. What he is wearing and where he pops the question could be very apropos - for them.

An ex-pat friend of mine could use this when mountain biking in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She regularly bikes through places with land mine warnings though their civil war ended 20 years ago.

This is not news. The heat from decaying plutonium has been used as a power source for space probes for decades, at least as far back as V'Ger I in 1977.

I applied for a job at Barco two days ago. It's be VERY cool if this is what I'd be working on.

And here I always thought "borborygmi" was a word George Carlin invented for the past ~40 years.

I have little doubt this was done as an inside joke and is not a required piece of bureaucratic BS.
