The linked article misses one of this biggest “reward” point companies, that has linked with a lot of different credit cards - Air Miles. As of Dec 31 2011, all air miles earned are good for 5 years from getting them. And you’ve accumulated prior to Dec 31st 2011 expire Dec 31st 2016. So if you’ve been saving air…

My wife has certain issues with eggs. If they are in a baked good or hard boiled, she is fine, but cooked in any manner used for breakfast-type food, she is running for a toilet withing 10-20 minutes. She even has issues with seasonal flu shots as they are usually incubated in eggs. I’m pretty sure it isn’t a…

Agreed. Most people aren’t aware of how the simple sound of a dog bark will keep the burglar moving on to the next house.

So long as they still meet the manufacturer’s measurements,stay rear-facing as long as possible.

Laws are pretty strict here in Canada regarding child seats and restraints. We can’t even import USA made seats, as they don’t meet our regulations in most cases. If you’re in an accident with a USA made car seat, insurance won’t cover anything related to the carseat (read: your injured kid). Kids here have to be 80…

okay thanks. I thought it was est/edt for all of the gawker sites.

You might ant to have them look at the time-stamping too... I just made a comment in this article, and it is 12:35 am, but it time-stamped it to 9:35 am...I’m in EDT (Toronto, New York...), and the only explanation I can think of is if the server time stamps to Pacific/PDT (Vancouver, Seattle, LA), but I don’t…

I’m still partial to my Sony PRS-650... It reads more formats than a lot of other e-readers, even though it is a few years old. The charge doesn’t hold as long as newer models, and I can only charge it from a computer (have to buy a special Sony one for some stupid reason). Other than that, I love it. Expandable…

Lemon juice or vinegar or any other acidic food will also work. Capsaicin is an alkaline (or a base for those who remember high school chemistry, or Fight Club) and eating/drinking anything with an edible acid will counteract the spiciness.

Besides running our own stag and doe, we saved money be doing all the invitations ourselves, hand-making our place settings, seating plan, table decorations, favours for guests to take home, altering a cheap guestbook to match our decorations, and then we helped with the reception hall set up. My wife shopped smart…

yellow jackets will eat through wood, so yeah, it is a good idea to still use some sort of chemical to get rid of the queen and any eggs/larvae still in the nest. I’ve actually been sitting on my deck and watched them come and chew up the surface of my deck, take off and come back in 5 minutes or so and continue in…

I think the current Optima looks worse than the 2012 models. And I am a current owner of a ‘12 Sorento... I was seriously looking forward to them outdoing their previous Optima model and am quite disappointed. I do like the new Sorento though.

I think the current Optima looks worse than the 2012 models. And I am a current owner of a ‘12 Sorento... I was seriously looking forward to them outdoing their previous Optima model and am quite disappointed. For the Optima, yes, they’ve lost their way. I like the new Sorento though...

Agreed. I really liked the ‘12 model year optima - with the turbo, in dark grey with leather interior... The new one doesn’t do anything for me.

I have one of those original wrt54g routers - i have been mulling changing out the firmware for a while, but i’m not too knowledgeable about the whole wifi thing - i can connect and set up the basic software that has been on the router since i got it in 2008... which one of those new firmwares should i go with for a…

in the early 2000’s, they made it possible for anything to be a top level domain.... so long as you’re willing to pay for it, which i’m sure google can afford.

I like that idea better - you don't have to worry that the stress of the whole bike hanging from a hook in the rim is going to deform the rim a bit over long storage...

I've always worried that those hooks will slowly deform the rims if stored hanging by them for too long (like over winter)... is this worry unfounded or can you damage your rims?
