I wonder how much that video is going to increase sales of C-Thru rulers? Be interesting to know what the percentage is. I'll probably buy one.

Excellent, I'll check that out, thanks.

My grill (the gas one) has stainless steel rods for the cooking surface. Over time, some of the rods have burst from the heat, which leaves lot of little sharp metal bits potentially getting into the food (so, obviously, I'm not using the grill at the moment). Unfortunately, I can't find a replacement grill (OEM). …

My lawyer will be contacting you. :)

Nice, lots of options. I don't think weight will be much of a problem, but we'll see. I'm also considering building something like this for an outside bench/table. I want something to go next to my grill that can withstand the weather. I'm thinking of making something that looks like a bakers rack, but out of pipe…

I'm thinking of making a desk out of pipe like this, though it won't be a stand up. I have an old slab of marble about 67" by 22" that used to be a small countertop. I'm thinking it would make a nice desk and the pipe should support the weight just fine. Also, I assume setting a laptop/macbook on the marble will be…

I used to work for FedEx. While I was there, they acquired Flying Tigers and I got to jumpseat on one of the 747's from JFK to Anchorage. It was a great trip. Obviously not as posh as a passenger jet, but still very comfortable. On the way there it was just me and one other jumpseater. On the way back, just me. …

The real problem is they'd get my iPhone wet.

Sex offenses (like you describe) are very serious problems. Lumping people who happen to be taking a leak outside together with them diminishes them. Peeing in public isn't nice, people don't wan to see it. It's not anywhere even close to rape, molestation, etc.

I'm probably a bit of a weirdo, but I actually enjoy deboning the chicken. I suppose it's trendy lately to say "it's the OCD in me" but I do like getting the bird deboned as cleanly as possible, in as few cuts, etc.

Same rotisserie cooking or fried? If not fried, I'll definitely look for that. Me and my Father in law are dark meat fans, so yum.

If we're going to talk Vodka, try Tito's, it's excellent.

Of course, from a price per pound perspective, any time someone else does work to the raw food, the price goes up. You're paying for convenience in this situation, not value per pound. For $5, I can buy a pre-cooked (and very taste) good sized chicken. With the addition of some steamed veggies, I can have dinner on…

ymmv, but it my experience, the local grocery stores have smaller chickens for a little more money. The taste tends to be pretty much on par. So far, Ingles has been the closest, but generally Costco works out the best. Given how much other stuff we buy from Costco (and the amount we get back on the Costco Amex…

I'll tell you one thing to buy at Costco, the rotisserie chicken. At around $5, that shit is GOOD and much cheaper than local grocery stores. Yeah, we can buy/cook it ourselves, but for a quick, already cooked, chicken dinner, it's hard to beat.

I saw google voice listed in the providers, but I didn't try it.

I'd like to see some suggestions on managing meetings with remote teams. I work completely remote and so does every other member of my team. We're spread all across the US (and frequently have poeple from India). Most of these suggestions are kind of useless in that environment. Can't manage gadget time when…

Yeah, valid point. I "get around" that by making sure all my credentials are unique, but I can see what you mean re: whatever data you have on that site.

This makes me feel better about my curmudgeonly approach to logins. Each site has its own account. I never was a fan of using one login for multiple sites. Always felt like I was essentially telling Google/facebook/whatever where and what sites I was logging in to.

I wonder how the economy would be impacted if someone as rich as this decided to donate $1M to every US taxpayer? For the rich person, it would be something like $150M people (best I could find was around 135M tax filers in 2009) so, for Ellison, about 3% of his net worth. How does that affect the country? All the…
