Sounds like I went to school around the same time but for me it was some guy from the NEXT DORM OVER would open his windows and play Led Zeppelin’s II. Great album, have it myself, but whenever I hear “Ramble On” I think of my sophomore year.

Your standard paper/mud wasps I don’t mind. They’re predators so they’re not trying to steal your food - they’re looking for bugs to eat and generally ignore humans. One time I was trying to knock a dead nest off our house and oops realized it wasn’t dead. The wasps came out and started fixing the damage and…

Andy, I love ‘Remains of the Day’ but I don’t understand the format. There’s an intro paragraph followed by bullets. The first bullet pertains to the intro paragraph but the other bullets do not even though they’re at the same level. Often times the first bullet makes no sense without the intro paragraph. Take for…

Here’s a simple one: always cover the drain with a rag.
Remember showers and especially sinks are shaped so everything flows towards the drain. That goes for water... and screws and washers and special parts you had to mail order via Pony Express from the east coast.

What were they thinking?!?

First off, we’re so obsolete in the Constitution. We’re the ones that sort of were very much involved with the creation, but we’re so obsolete, we just seem to be toyed with by so many different amendments, already. And we don’t know who’s doing what. We don’t know who’s got the power, who’s got that capability, some…

I came here to defend our good friend the wasp. They’re strict predators, hunting insects only, so that’s cool. The bug buzzing your picnic is a yellowjacket. They’re opportunistic eaters, using both predatory and scavenging techniques to acquire food. That’s why they’re at your picnic. “Hey, that burger smells good.…

Originally, the dip in the top tube was so women could peddle while wearing a dress or skirt.

We flew to Hawaii recently and saw another family completely game gate-checkin. The person working the gate (the gate keeper?) came on the intercom and said the plane was full, yada, yada, free gate-check your carry-ons. At that point, a family of four, each carrying two full-sized bags walked up and gate-checked all…

There is not yet a 5G standard, but FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler expects the next-gen wireless network to be 10 to 100 times faster than current technologies.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Did you really recommend orchids and bamboo?
Great, one plant that won’t live and one plant that won’t die. :-P

Much better than the yellow snow method!

This works on kids too. Our youngest used to be a bear to wake up in the morning. Now we unleash the dog on her and she’s so happy to pop out of bed.

You don’t need the ribbon to make a bookmark. In fact, I use the paper clip on the side of the page (instead of the top) so it points at the exact line where I stopped reading.

My co-worker washes his keyboard in the dishwasher twice a year. He covers the USB plug just to be safe (and it’s not dirty anyway). Don’t heat-dry but make sure it’s thoroughly dry before plugging it back in. I think he leaves it over the weekend to dry out.

Now I know what to get my wife for Christmas!

Really? Nobody is going to mention that brussels sprouts are nasty and the idea of brussels sprouts as a snack item is the first sign of the apocalypse?

Apple Music is a bit of a hard to use, baffling, and poorly designed service, but it’s still a popular one.
