Yes, just let them talk about Roblox and nod your head. No, I have no idea what my kids are talking about.

Unmarked police cars:

I disagree that out-of-date books are of no value. There is value in understanding what people of the past were thinking, and why things are different now. Obtaining information on success is easy, but obtaining information on failure is much more difficult. Usually, understanding the failure in respect to the success…

The problem with coffee freaks... or for that matter, any other obsession is that they have done a lot of research, and want something very specific. It’s like a religion, and there’s not one right answer. Chances are, if you’re buying for a real coffee freak (or any other obsession), they already have one of…

Here’s a real life hack. Did you know most tires come with a built in tool for detecting tire life? It’s called the wear bar. Once any of the bars are flush with the rest of the tire surface, it’s time for a new tire. Personally, I replace my tires before it goes that far.

Would the clear nail polish trick work on windshields?

When I was a kid, if someone was passing out toothbrushes or lectures, the house got egged.

Oh god, there’s an app for that too?

Once, I got a random robocall and had some free time. I replied to the robocall, in a very calm tone... “Fuck you”... “Fuck you”... “Fuck you”...

So, we’re talking about the probability of a propane tank leaking, maintaining the proper stoichiometry inside the shed, AND opening the door so fast that the hinge sparks? I think I’ll worry about the other gardening chemicals in the shed first.

Why aren’t you working where your partner’s working? Same hours, equal work. Seems like a no brainer.

My shed has both windows and ventilation to prevent many of these issues. Besides, even if the propane tank leaked into the shed, what would ignite it? Unless you have a shed with electric service, I think the gas exploding is relatively low risk.

My suction cup hack is to buy them in bulk

Spam callers are scum of the earth. If you answer a spam call, make sure to waste their time as much as possible. Time is money, and if everyone wastes their time, spam calling won’t be worth it.

You forgot the biggest lifehack. There’s a limit on carrying on liquid water, but you can carry on as much frozen water as you want. Just make sure less than 3.4oz thaws when you go through security (or drink the liquid portion before going through security).

Any recommendation for international shipping rates?

I can understand not wanting to reuse car seats, but it also seems wasteful. Is there anyone (ie: charity) that will recertify unexpired car seats? It’s best to have a new seat, but if it was a decision between not having a seat or using a used seat, I think used is the better option.

I generally take my shoes off, but the thought of germs and pesticide hasn’t even crossed my mind. I do it for more practical reasons, namely to keep dirt, snow, sand, ABC gum, grass clippings, etc, etc off my floor.

Instead of vague (and probably not legally binding) words like waterproof and water resistant, look for the IP code.

Lime is supposed to raise the soil pH, right? Do you have to measure the pH first to make sure it’s too acidic? I would think applying lime to already pH neutral soil would turn it too basic.
