It's worth about $2 billion, considering that Facebook as a whole is worth about 10x more today than it was in 2007.

The nice thing about doing this is that you can freeze them and retrieve them individually while still frozen (also works well for leftover pancakes, waffles, etc). If you have a tendency to squish them into the bag so they don't lay flat, you might want to freeze them on a baking sheet first before packaging them,…

Stoves don't operate in the reduced-oxygen environments that favor smoke and CO production. They also don't use solid fuels, which increase the risk of CO production. Wood-burning stoves can get small environments up to at least 200ppm CO, according to the UN/WHO (poor indoor air quality due to cooking is a…

I really want to calculate the max ppm CO possible from 2 tablespoons of wood dust, but even Wolfram Alpha doesn't seem to have enough data to get me started.

Bittman recommends using this method in the oven to make "smoke-kissed" ribs: [www.nytimes.com] Sichuan dish Tea Smoked Duck is usually smoked on the stovetop like this as well.

The guys at Cooking Issues recommend sanding with 200 grit to help smooth out the pan (good commentary in the comments too): [www.cookingissues.com]

Maybe the biggest take-home point is to stick a lubed-up cast iron pan in the oven every time you make pizza or no-knead bread. Put that 30 minutes of preheating at 500F+ to good use!

I don't have access to Cook's Illustrated, so I don't know what their control group was. But most people don't season their pans with five coats at 500F. As the Reddit/Facebook link demonstrates, most of the success probably lies in the method rather than the fat you use. I'd guess that you'd get 95% of the…

Tip 0, of course, is to eliminate as much high-interest debt (typically any loan not backed by equity) as possible. The highest of high-interest savings accounts pays about 1% right now. Paying down debt could effectively pay you 20x as much or more.

Thanks. He needs to compare those prices to powdered detergent. Even for liquid detergent, Tide is more like $0.19/load ([www.wegmans.com]), with $0.10/load is easily obtainable with low-end/generic/store-brand stuff ([www.wegmans.com]). Powdered generic is probably around $0.08/load. So you can capture 50% of the…

Can you quantify those savings? If you bought the largest, cheapest container of powdered detergent, do you really save that much? I've always been skeptical, but I've never done the math myself.

I think that other poster ([gizmodo.com]) has poor information.

Can this comment be moved to the top? Please?

TCE isn't wine—there's no "maturation." And it's not passed from parent to child. Until anything you say is backed up by a reputable source, I'm considering this to be utter BS. I urge everyone else to as well.

The Clever and Hario brewers have specific improvements over the $1.95 Melitta: both allow you much better control over the extraction time. The Melitta can produce a good cup, but these other brewers have a higher ceiling (which may be irrelevant for an article comparing it to k-cups).

One potential caveat: Netflix's (and Amazon's, and others presumably) licensing agreements resulting in different availability of titles on HTPCs (which Netflix treats as a PC) and STB (e.g., Roku). Some content available on STBs is not available to watch on HTPCs. Some content available in HD on STBs is only…

NLee the Engineer over at Amazon seems to have purchased and tested most of the NiMH batteries and chargers available: [www.amazon.com]

Alkaline batteries are not considered hazardous waste in the US except in special circumstances (e.g., specific locales or uses may have stricter disposal rules). The NiMH batteries that you're replacing the alkalines with are likely more environmentally hazardous because of their Ni content, but of course you're not…
