I've been thinking about getting a new Digital Instant-Read thermometer, to replace my super slow analog meat thermometer. $80 still seems kind of crazy though, when there's a wide range of other options everywhere from $10-$30. What makes Thermapen three times better?

There is a pre-teen girl who saves the protagonist's life and goes on to be a key part of rebellion. She ends up leading a corps of children who help rile up the guards and stir the pot towards the revolution.
I am re-reading it with my wife, who is starting it for the first time. I really love this book. I think it's a classic I will keep re-reading over and over for a long time.
Weird! They're in the second photo, each figure on their own little stand so they can stand on a peg. Helps to fit the figures to the scale of the carrier, I guess.
I think that what we get excited about is the illusion of danger. Watching real knife throwers is exciting because it seems like there's terrible danger but maybe deep down we know everything will be alright. Watching this idiot almost slice off his assistant's fingers TWICE then nearly embed one in his skull was…
That would be great. It seems like all gift guides from tech blogs these days can be renamed "10 Gifts for someone who has more money than sense" or even more simply "10 cool toys/gadgets you probably want to own, regardless of price".
A bachelor apartment costs $600,000?! That's insane. This rule fit my house purchase pretty well, though I agree there are better metrics. What ever happened to the 28% rule, where your mortgage (or in some cases, all loans) shouldn't be more than 28% of your income?
When It Doesn't: While this is pretty traditional advice that's a safe bet, opinions vary. Some consider it an overwhelming amount to save. Some argue that, while a home is an asset, you shouldn't give up your liquidity, or savings. Of course, there are counterarguments to be made, but the point is: some consider the…
I feel like they would just clatter against the door crazily every time you opened and closed the thing.
I've worn watches almost my whole life. Basically if I owned a functional watch, I was wearing it. Not wearing one, I feel more naked than if I forgot my phone somewhere.
Yeah your use cases and mine line up pretty closely. Basically the watch is great when you're on the go. When you're sitting at a desk or on the couch and you have your phone within easy reach, a watch feels almost comically redundant.
MULTIPLE TIMES. "Oh you took route 15? We ended up going on I-25. Caught up with your trail again in Kansas, though, just outside of Manhattan. Then we took I-80 until it was blocked in Council Bluffs".
My LG G Watch shines when I get no notifications that require interaction aside from Archiving or Dismissing. Calendar Appointments, Reminders, Sports Scores, Weather Alerts. These are all perfect on the watch.
The Stand: Part 3: Getting the lights on in Boulder.
The YouTube channel ScreenJunkies had a doctor watch Die Hard and point out all the really serious injury John McLane sustains over the course of the movie. He determined the hero probably died about 5 times.
My wife will forever point out a scene in Avatar, one of her favorite movies, where Sigourney Weaver breaks the micropipettor by holding it upside down.
I was hoping someone would mention @FilmCritHULK, so I could rant about how he's not doing a "proper" Hulk shtick. In my mind a Hulk is two (or three) things:
With @DrunkHulk ending, are there any other awesome grammatically incorrect, ALL-CAPS Twitter accounts I should be following? Looks like I would enjoy Feminist Hulk.
It seems like every Hollywood headline I've seen lately has been "Semi-Popular Actor/Director/Writer wants to work on Star Wars/Marvel movie franchise" or, barring that, "Semi-Popular Actor/Director/Writer wants to create mega-franchise to rival the likes of Star Wars/Marvel."
There's no telling how long this will last, but for right now, if you click through a very brief slideshow extolling the virtues of PayPal Checkout, you'll get a choice of rewards at the end, including a $5 PayPal credit. That's free money! [ $5 PayPal Credit]
