Best solution I've ever heard is to put the shoes in a large sized zip-lock type bag and put them in the freezer for 24 hours to kill any bacteria.

As long as you don't want to use the pipe as...a pipe, this should be fine. If it's really a tricky spot, get a PEX connector and run flexible pipe.

In my opinion, this is "best of a bad choice" — the idea of buying an all-in-one makes no sense to me. They are extremely difficult or impossible to upgrade or repair. They're basically a limited lifespan choice. You can invest is a beautiful monitor, but when you need a more powerful or new generation PC your…

No problem. The first thing to know is if there are any electronics in the seats — power seats are obvious, but any seatbelt sensors or airbag weight sensors could be damaged if you're not careful. Some cars even have airbags built into the seats themselves for side impact crashes. Do not mess with airbags unless…

I definitely agree, though W Underground has great real time storm status and updates presented visually, looking ahead a few days, the NOAA site and in particularly the local forecast discussion (depending on your local team) can be full of great insights and rather than just predictions, they're good at giving you…

Story of my life for the last 10 years or so.

I would attempt to use this article to form an opinion about the song being suitable for kids, but nobody seems to have posted an actual translation of the lyrics other than a few quotes which may be the most sensational or the most mild. Excellent reporting, guys.

Ah, but only for the gadget-obsessed technophobe who doesn't mind the audio being slightly out of sinc with the video.

This is only true at stores. At the gym it's different. Everyone knows you have to find the absolute closest parking spot to the door of the gym so you can go in and get your exercise the right way.

Yeah, I keep a fold up Pulaski Tool in the car all winter here in Maine.

In a pinch, a credit card (or more likely hotel chain rewards card) will do nicely for window scraping.

SMS Messages. That's it other than voice phone calls.

The reality is that in today's corporate culture, the bad performance review doesn't get written unless the manager already has it in mind that he wants to get rid of you. It's a process that takes several months and multiple bad reviews and other formal documentation and steps. If a manager wants to keep you, you…

No need to get rid of the summer's fueld up here in Maine, you'll need plenty for the 12hp snowthrower.

My experiences with newegg have been quite poor. I live far enough out of the way that there are no real brick and mortar options within a couple of hours drive — the nearest would be about two and a half hours to a microcenter in Cambridge, Mass. Usually, that means I read reviews on amazon and buy there or at…

Ok, ok, I give. Guilty as charged. I do in fact own a grill brush.....and I'd have gotten away with it too if it were for those pesky kids!

well, the area around my grill is all 3/4 inch crushed granite stones, so....

Very close to perfect — if they hadn't messed with the placement of the keys on the far right (home/end/up/dn/ins) it would be perfect.

I was a huge fan of the original Microsoft Natural Elite ergonomic keyboard. They stopped making them but I could still get them for a long time. There was a gap for years though where none made me happy. Finally the new Microsoft "Sculpt" ergonomic is really good — but not great. For programmers, the way…
