Could they be suggesting we remove all our non-lawn landscaping and replace it with...LAWN?

According to the DIY builder folks on YouTube, don’t use caulk in a shower or bathtub. Instead use 100% silicone which, supposedly, will not turn black. Silicone sealer is used in fish aquariums, so maybe there is something to this idea. 

In college back in the 70s we built an aeroplane that had wooden ribs on the wings. We glued the pieces of rib together using urethane glue. We moistened one side of the wood and applied glue to the other, nailed the pieces down so they wouldn’t move, and let it set. We tested several samples and the glue joints never…

I have a question, and I’m a new Win 10 Home user.  I have always assumed that ransomware bad guys were after bigger fish and would leave Win Home users alone; however, you never know.  So if I had my computer encrypted and someone tried to put ransomware on my computer, would their software immediately become…

This sounds like an extended opportunity for the antivaxxers to receive their Darwin Awards. 

Back in the 70s my wife and I saw the word misspelled, and forever afterward found excuses to say, vie OH luh.

My understanding is that if the word references music, then it is for TAY.  For all other applications, it is FORT. 

People who find this odd probably never dipped french fries into a milkshake.

I mostly concur with method 3 but you only need enough water to make steam. One inch works for me.

The search tabs feature in Firefox is a bit hidden????

I’ve been campaigning against core aeration for at least 10 years. I agree that the soil needs to be open for air and penetration, but I disagree that punching a few hundred, or thousand, holes into the soil is the best way to accomplish the goal. On the opposite side of my argument are thousands of landscape…

I’ve composted 2 dogs. If you get foul odors, or attract pests then you don’t know how to manage your compost pile.

...but if you WANT a lawn, be sure to use turf which is native or adapted to your climate and soil.

I used to take the ID card pictures for our small office. I always told the people, “don’t smile - just look pleasant.” You need to look like you normally look, not like you’re laughing at a joke.

This is not a warm area issue. Why? Because where it routinely runs in the 90s most of the summer, we all have AC taking care of the humidity for us. Also the water coming into the house is more like 75-90 degrees F in the summer.

I understand that not all homes have or want A/C; however, if you look into a modern “mini split” system, those are ductless and cost considerably less than your estimate of 30 years ago.

Just a word of warning:  the cardboard provides great food for carpenter ants.  Ask me how I know. 

I have about 40 years of experience drinking diet soft drinks from straws. I cannot say I noticed any medical condition due to not washing the straws, but I can tell you the drink will come through flat instead of bubbly if/when the straw is really grossly dirty. By that I mean you get black stuff on the brush when…

And if stock grows in your area, grow that to add fragrance to your cuttings.

C- is an accurate score for The Tomorrow War.  It’s 2:20 of slow moving story punctuated perhaps 4 times with some activity, some of which is high intensity.
