I will buy a used tire when my tires are old and near the end of the warranty, AND I get a nail near the sidewall. I’m going to replace all 4 tires within a year, but I can postpone that financial agony with a $30 emergency tire. I’ve never had a problem with mismatched tires on the car. 

Photos, YES; however, they have to be pertinent photos. I just read an article about “10 best” plants for privacy. The (worthless) pictures they showed were close up photos of the flowers. If you’re talking about privacy, the pictures should illustrate the ability to block vision.

Came here for 2 things.

One of the guys in my office in the 80s was a Swedish doctor named Ulf. It’s pretty tame compared to other oddball names.

Discussion is broken for slideshows.  At best I can see one reply no matter how I sort the list.  Clicking Pending gets exactly one reply. 

Earthquakes are absolutely terrifying.

I haven’t done any research, but I have many observations. We adopted a child from Russia and merged into the Eastern European adoption support groups as a hobby. It does seem that children under the age of 12 most often will not have an accent as they learn English.

Have you ever shot a handgun? ...without ear protection? ...inside a steel can? ...with broken glass flying all around?  ...and deteriorating vision due to the broken windshield?  ...and the 60 MPH wind blowing in through the broken windshield?  In his head it seemed like a good plan until the first shot was fired. …

Clearly Musk has never actually used a pickup truck for anything.  Honda and Chevrolet finally learned the lesson about slanting the sides of the bed.  Tesla has yet to learn the lesson. 

This is a sad situation. My wife and her sister own a condo as a rental in a beach community. As a service to the renters, I created a notebook of QR codes linking to driving directions for points of interest (restaurants, art galleries, bait shops, etc.) and for the restaurants with online menus, QR codes linking to…

You are mistaking safety (of the occupants) with the ability of the vehicle to roll.  The vehicle can roll and roll and roll and, if the occupants walk away unharmed, it’s safe. 

^Yes, carrying a cup around! I had forgotten that lifehack. It’s been 50 years since college, but carrying a cup around was the trick that worked at every party. 

Based on the replies to this comment, I’d like to reaffirm that yes, indeed, there are people who badger non drinkers. I’ve even received a “Coke” from someone which was spiked...as if I could not smell the difference before tasting it.  There are others who range from uncomfortable to suspicious of people who are not…

Been there. I believe the reason for that is they are uncomfortable drinking alone.

Jony. WTF is up with that name? I pronounce it as a girl’s name, but I’m pretty sure he’s a dude. I can’t say for sure, because I stopped caring about Apple when Steve Jobs died.

Back about 2003 I was carpooling to a job 50 miles away with a friend. He had an Audi and I had a Honda Accord. I always drove because the Audi was always in the shop. His car payments were $3,500 per year and his maintenance was $1,700 per year. I finally convinced him he didn’t pay $50,000 for the car, because the…

You missed an entire genre of mattresses.  Memory foam is not the only foam, and to my taste, it is far from the best foam.  For me it’s latex foam about 6 inches thick, on top of a box springs.  My parents got a latex foam mattress in 1941 and donated it to me when they got a king size bed.  I finally kicked it to…

I just started watching Xena Warrior Princess for the first time. Those are really, really bad. I’m still in season 1, so we’ll see how it goes.

I’ve been writing about lawn care for 20 years. The other replies have this right. You should not automatically follow the advice of anyone outside your area. Pay attention to the caveats and circumstances. The article practically glosses over the idea of a soil test prior to liming. And nobody is going to scatter…

I’m sure her mother is very proud of her.
