If you don’t have AC, set up a window fan in an out-of-the-way spot such as a hallway or spare bedroom, blowing toward the outside. Any other window that you open will instantly have a breeze without the noise.

Be careful with that butterknife. On some sinks, the “gunk” under the rim is actually the caulk that seals it to the countertop.

With or without the grill?

I took it to mean that the vehicles were junked as a result of the fire.

Good point, I’ve never met someone who died because they weren’t buckled in properly.

You mean BYOBBBQ.

I’m sure these scammers have plenty of sob stories and excuses that are sufficient to convince a desperate renter. “Yeah, I need the security deposit by the 30th but the current renters won’t be out until the 1st. You can stop by and look around the outside if you’d like. There’s another guy ahead of you who just…

Found the guy who definitely pronounces Porsche wrong.

I call BS. I’ve seen footage from the nineteen dicketies and none of those guns made a sound.

The CRV doesn’t pay for the product to be recycled either. It’s just an incentive for people to drop it off for recycling.

I kind of like this idea. I’m also glad it wasn’t a thing 20 years ago because my mom would have been really into it and she also would have brought it out every time teenage/young-adult dlthewave brought a date home.

You don’t pay them to carry out the recycling process, though. You pay for your recyclables to be collected but after that they’re at the mercy of the free market. When the recycler finds themselves with a truckload of dirty plastic bottles on their hands, they dispose of them in the most profitable way possible,…

Target will hand over the used seats to Waste Management, which recycles the parts so they don’t end up in landfills.

I keep a spreadsheet with my current checking account balance at the top and a running list of every upcoming bill and paycheck for the next year or so, like a digital check register. I update the balance once a week and delete anything that has already posted to my account. This allows me to see my projected balance…

Anyone who’s built a proper burger bed will tell you that the sliders should be disassembled and the buns and patties arranged to give the right amount of support in the right places. 600 pieces gets you a decent toddler bed. Do they not teach this in shop class anymore?

One of my first laptops was a used Toshiba that came with an empty bay for a second hard drive. When I tried to install the drive, it turned out that there was no place to plug it in. Apparently they didn’t solder the connector to the motherboard unless you ordered the extra drive as part of the initial configuration.
