Costco did this starting January 1st 2015 in Canada - full-stop on AMEX and went with Capital One MasterCard for their Costco branded card, and also accept any other MasterCard also.

You'd be better off than most of the rest of those drivers. growing up and living somewhere that regularly gets bad weather gives you the chance to learn how to handle a vehicle in that weather. Sadly, while you'd be easily avoiding all the people who are stuck, you'd get clipped by another one who didn't know they…

Our home had a beautiful, solid-wood door when we moved in. We removed the aluminum awning the year after and the sun bleached the finish within 2 years. We weren't able to replace it until a year and a half ago, but over the course of 8 years, the sun and weather had done a lot of damage that the awning was…

I don't see the point unless you've just washed the sheets and covers and are putting it all back together, or if you're expecting to show it off. I remember reading an article about a year ago that advocated for not making your bed, to allow it to air out, instead of covering up all your sweat and stink by making…

are you taking into account the possibility that you child(ren) don't choose a doctorate or other high cost 4 yr program and instead go for a (less costly but still pricey) trade school. Remember, doctors are still gonna want to have access to a plumber or electrician, and if they follow the current trends, those…

Due to the way wings are made and how they work, more lift is generated near the root (fuselage) end of a wing compared to the wingtips, so it is very likely that losing up to half of the wing, it is still possible to be generating more than 50% of the lift needed to stay airborne compare to a full wing...

the friction keeps the laces from loosening up a bit after you've been walking/running for a day. If you tie without you might notice they loosen over the course of a day. try the lace-lock and the laces wont budge. Be careful though - if you start off tight, they can start to hurt as your feet swell later in the…

Makes your shoes feel like a nice, snug pair of socks wrapped around your feet, instead of something merely strapped to your feet that moved around. plus it helps prevent suck bunching around your toes, which i think everyone hates.

totally agree that this is best for preventing blisters and sliding around in your shoe. My wife used to work at a Foot Locker over a decade ago, and she showed this to be about 5 years ago in the middle of a long, hot July day pushing a twin stroller loaded with our daughters and a well stocked diaper bag and a…

To be honest, Boyle showed up with pig-tails and proceeded to cower in the corner after a lame/fake kick (maybe it was a push kick, the angle above looks like it might have been that too). I'd taunt him too....

Packing plenty of activities for the car might keep the "are we there yet"s at bay, but you also don't want your backseat to turn into a toy box. The ever-useful shoe organizer works in the car. When hung over one of the front seats, kids (or parents) can quickly grab toys and other car trip necessities. If you've got…

Or ground clearance - If your hung up on something underneath, like a whole bunch of ice and snow, you can spin all four..

I have a great dane/german sheppard (11yrs old and 115lbs), so I understand. who needs to install/wreck an existing and perfectly working door, to add another mini door. People just need to get off their butts and open the door , lol. Human door = doggie door

Whats the insulation R value of a hole in your house at -15C/5F?

agreed - 35lbs is not large whatsoever. I have a 1.5 yr old basset/husky cross at 50lbs and an 11 yr old great dane/german shepard at 115lbs. I just open the door, because they need a whole door to get in and out. It is also -15C/5F outside right now, I'm not dealing with a doggie door that is basically going to…

any explosion large enough to have a cloud of floating or rising dust and smoke will create the mushroom effect. It is most recognizable with nuclear explosions because of the size and enormity of everything involved - reaching high into the atmosphere and visible for miles away. The column of heat will obviously go…

correct, unless you don't have empty space between your roof and walls/ceilings. my house is a story and 3/4. upstairs is gabled ceilings. so from inside, it is drywall, vapour barrier , insulation and studs, plywood and then shingles. I can actually go outside and see where heat is transferring outside via the…

100% agree - I made a really hot chili last year that I couldn't even handle, let alone my mild-is-still-too-spicy wife and kids. I searched out how to fix it, and it said lemon or lime juice as the spicy-ness (capsaicin) is actually a alkali/base. Everyone who didn't skip out of grade 9 science* knows that mixing an…

What, like there is an audience or camera that they are all facing??? lol

I have twins - so i got to do the car seat thing twice every time. The latch system is much more secure than a regular belt for attaching a car seat. I was able to use my whole 200lbs to compress the car seats into the regular seats and tighten the Latch straps, and when i push on the car seats, the whole vehicle…
