I've been a ConsumerLab subscriber for a few years and really like it. Lots of great info that is always presented well (always feels independent). Besides testing the products themselves, they also provide all sorts of research on whether the products actually do what they're claiming. Then, they state whether the…

Call the Mythbusters and tell them this stump is stronger than a cement truck.

18 for Makita. I don't remember on the Ryobi's but I think 18's.

I haven't tested the other two, so I'm not saying it's "better" by my Makita tools are AWESOME. Especially the impact driver. I have the impact driver, hammer drill and circular saw. I use all of them on a pretty regular basis (though just home projects).

Sleepphones FTW. I've had these for a few years now and they're AWESOME. I happen to enjoy Old Time Radio, so I put on a detective story or something and set my ipod for 60 minutes. The stories are just interesting enough to get me engaged, but not so interesting that I'm kept up. In other words, they turn off all…

So, what is a (pick any color/race/ethnicity/whatever) person supposed to do in this situation? Serious question. BTW, what are you doing to make this better?

I use my iPad charger on my iPhone all the time, never had a problem.

For myself, if I skip breakfast, I'm, at a bare minimum, very grumpy. I wake up hungry and if I don't eat, people don't want to be around me (which is fine with me because fuck everybody when I'm hungry).

Just as a general FYI, in my personal experience, stay away from Ryobi cordless anything's. I've had 4 triggers die on me fairly quickly. An oscillating tool, two impact drivers and a larger cordless drill (the kind that does regular drill and "hammer" drill. They work fine, then the trigger just stops functioning.…

How about wedding rings? Do they make men look more or less attractive?

I've sent them an email to ask, but do you think this would work with an LP collection?

I introduced my wife to Amazon Prime's streaming service via the PS4, we hit the 300GB level on the 12th of the month. My own use (as I said in another reply, I work from home) gets us over 100GB/month with no real streaming. I'll have to check what other things we're doing to see if we have a data vampire hanging…

Given the cat's color, it's probably a good thing they weren't New York.

Problem is, I work from home, so I'm really reliant on a good network. I may look at switching to FreedomPop, but I need to see how the cost scales when you get into high bandwidth. Even without streaming lots of movies and and stuff, we average around 100GB/month.

Now factor in the 300GB cap Comcast applies to my account (Atlanta area) and realize I can only watch 1-2 weeks of streaming content, then I can't use the internet anymore without paying extra.

If you have the space for it, I like this design. Also just as cheap:

so what kind of license do you need in order to set this up? (planning on using some version of Windows) and what's the best/cheapest way to get a license? (yes, I want a legal copy). I'm assuming I need to purchase a full (not upgrade) version of windows?

I'm in a customer service organization (and have been for a long time) so I completely get where they're coming from. On the other hand, if I called in looking for an update to an outage and the person replied to me with some form of "this is within our Terms of Service" I'd want to say fuck you very much. I'm…

Open a Finder window and either select Preferences from the Finder menu item or press command comma. Then, in the "General" tab, about halfway down, you'll see "New Finder Windows show:" and a drop down just below it. Change the drop down to a folder of your choice.

in other words, first world problem. "Ugh, family wants to know what's going on in my life, but I just want to talk to the cool ones."
