I feel exactly the same about my Civic.

Have thought about pulling the trigger on an Acura for a long time, but all of the points you make above just keep me in the cheaper-but-even-more-practical-and-worry-free Civic.
Looking at new cars, I’d even think about downgrading to the Fit, except I believe the small bits and…

I’m not seeing the genius part.
Is it as simple as what I suggest?

(Also, it’s not really a portmanteau, as -nik is not a word all its own, but a suffix.)

Am I missing something with the name of this site?

I assume it’s a mash-up of ‘jalopy’ and ‘-nik’, as in dilapidated car enthusiast.
I’ve never thought it a particularly clever name, but apparently this production designer did.

Am I missing something?
Honest question.

Since you guys promote the heck out of these and similar bulbs, could you please do some diligence and offer a review of their functionality, light quality, true durability, dimmability, etc.

I know that LED's will get there someday in both quality, cost and efficiency, but in my mind, they're still at least a year or…

In what kind of world can ‘only $15 per light bulb’ be said with a straight face?

Boo!

Have tried all of these, and they are all crap.
The Under Armour are the worst pair of underwear I've ever purchased.

Why do you wear underwear with running shorts?
Nearly all name-brand running shorts have built in briefs, and those built-ins are infinitely more comfortable than any underwear.

I can't believe these still exist.
I purchased a stockpile 20 years ago from a Champion Outlet store, and am down to the last 2 pairs, which are about to fall apart.
Briefly (ha!) found a newer version at Sams, but they were made poorly and quickly fell apart.

Have been trying to find something comparable since, with no…

Did I miss the part where you said what is wrong with the Up! design?
Other than it not looking like a Beetle.

Okay, I totally didn't read your description. That makes slightly more sense.

That said, when I shop out of country, many of the things I bring back are candies, coffee, liquor, etc.
Most stores that sell the first 2 things have food scales, and liquids are pretty easy to estimate weight (8 lbs/gallon, 1 lb/pint).

Every time I see a single purpose item like a luggage scale, I wonder why people can't just use something at hand.
In this case, weigh yourself on your bathroom scale, with and without said luggage.

I highly recommend against that Sonicare brush.

Have had and enjoyed many models of Sonicare.
Got one of these Powerups for the gym bag.

People don't seem to realize that with the ultrasonic humidifiers, you need to use distilled water to avoid the white mist/spewing hard water/softened water minerals into the air, and also shortening the life of the machine with mineral deposits.

Pain in the neck to stockpile distilled water, but the quiet factor and…

Argh. I just get done praising you for sound logic on the bulletproof coffee article, only to see you advocating kinesio tape.

The Zulu glass bottle has a one-handed pop-up lid, and no obnoxious straw to suck on.
I think Ello also makes one.
Superior for daily use to the screw top lids, I feel.

The Camelbak is the right choice for the sports bottle.
Can easily be had for $10, not $22. I have 1 that I got with a quick-grip hand-holster for $5 at…

Thumbs up for the Zulu.

Have had 2 in our family.
One small drop and the small plastic tongue that kept the lids latched shattered.
The back-up locking metal ring helps, but can't be trusted to be leak proof if carrying in a bag.
The internal seal often popped out or suctioned off after washing the lid in dishwasher.

Switched to tempered glass…

It looks like the infrared thermometer code only works on 1 item per customer, even on separate orders.
