Most homeowners policies wont cover nuclear war. Or birds, don’t forget birds can fuck up your house and you can get your insurance to cover that...

I’ve toyed with the idea of installing a water meter that shuts off the pump after so many gallons are released in a given time. I suspect that would eliminate fault pipe issues. You never know when a pipe could just fail too. Just talking about it is making me nervous...

Those cup plungers make cleaning the sink much easier and don’t use harsh solvents or other chemicals that can damage pipes (and the environment). They can be used on any drain too - clogged shower drains looking at you.

So where does that extra 1-2% of return on top of the nominal GDP growth and inflation come from? Same place all growth comes from - someone’s pocket. Stocks aren’t investments, they’re a gamble.

You don't need to take them apart to make them useful. I've even seen a fence made from pallets,…

How about donate them? Donate them to Charity Groups that help supply children and none profits with computer systems. Donate them to a local school system - they can always use parts to update their sorely outdated computer rooms, new media programs, or graphics art class computers (especially with more powerful…

I agree, I love my clip on headphones. They aren't studio quality head phones, but they do the job for $10.
