I know that in my group of friends, when the bill has an automatic tip added, we typically stop at that price. However, majority of the time the tip would have been higher if they didn't force the 15 or 18%. We almost always hit 20% or higher.

With the amount of personal information on my phone, I feel it is absolutely necessary to have a lock.

I think you summed up some of my feelings pretty well. I'm a little more hesitant to jump straight into a new google service without wondering how long it will be around.

And I thought $11 USD was good for the 750ml.

Chimay Blue (Grand Reserve) is very good. I've found it in some stores where it is reasonably priced (compared to restaurants that seem to mark it up worse than wine), and keep a few bottles around for when I want to splurge.

Nothing is preventing Google from being able to decrypt it

My savings plan is to move money from my checking after I'm paid automatically to an account that I rarely touch (my emergency account). If the emergency account gets too high, then I transfer some to investments.

I missed the sale. Hopefully it goes on sale again soon.

I'm also guilty of reusing cables that I already own to prevent waiting on ordering new ones.

Good recommendations. I have been lazy and not cable tied (nor labeled) my cables until after the fact. I should have done this while I was wiring it.

What about Copy instead of Dropbox? Copy seems to already have the directory structure that this addon adds to Dropbox. Copy is the service that gives you 15GB space free, and 20GB if you click on a referral link like this one https://copy.com?r=FJ0ixF

Good point on it not being pushed as hard. It is still a great client and allows for somethings that web mail just doesn't do as well.

I'm happy that I switched from Google Reader to Tiny Tiny RSS. This way I am more in control of my RSS feeds and what information is being collected.

I wouldn't call Thunderbird dead. It is still being worked on, it is just slower to update than it was for a while. Actually that is probably a good thing, since most people want a stable mail client.

I didn't see a way to consolidate two different accounts. I saw a way to add an alias to an existing. I would love to be able to consolidate two accounts into one.

I was just basing it on my personal experience. After I got a couple of the plant watering globes my plants got healthier.

I would venture a guess that over or under watering are main culprits as well.

Newegg is usually my first, since the nearest Microcenter is about 2 hours away. Depending on the deal it can be worth it to make that drive. I usually check Amazon just to be sure Newegg is not overpriced. I used to have better luck with Newegg before they started allowing 3rd party sellers.

I didn't realize that FFToolbox would let you input custom scoring formats. Thanks for the referral.

Will Handbrake fix audio drift?
