Throwing away an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll is strictly forbidden in our household. Or at least, the kids think so... but after the 5th one is saved and decorated, we sneakily trash the rest. Saving junk can only go so far.

They’re actually at Target now for $3. I wonder which one is better quality. I have one of these from the same manufacturer, and it’s not the best. Not broken, but it doesn’t spin for 5 minutes like others might claim.

I may be a minor use case, but a comment made on the Kickstarter mentions that the earbuds can only be used in “mono” mode on the right earbud. That makes this a non-starter for me. I like listening to mono or low-fidelity audio like Audiobooks or Podcasts using one earbud. Then when that inevitably dies too soon, I…

Alton Brown once did a little experiment on Good Eats for thawing: cold water vs warm water vs cold water with a tiny tiny trickle running into the water bowl.

They posted a deal around the end of March. I ordered it and got an estimated delivery date of May 5, which changed after that to May 11, then removed the tracker altogether. That’s when I requested and got my refund.

Never received the $2 one you posted a couple of months ago. Now that I’ve finally got a refund, I’ll give this one a shot instead.

The book seems very divisive. The vast majority of people seem to love it, but I wasn’t impressed. Great characters, an interesting overall story, but it felt like Shadow didn’t really do anything, just get dragged around from location to location. It’s a hard main character to follow, who just reacts to all this…

That Photoshop Though...

That Photoshop Though...

OH. I get it now. I thought it was some jab at how amazing it is that a game is cross-released on Android and iOS.

So, I ordered one of these (probably from a different fly-by-night seller in a completely different department of Amazon) the last time you posted a $2 spinner....... still waiting for it. I ordered it at the end of March, expected delivery, May 5.

I actually own the two-ear model from a different manufacturer, but I only use one ear at a time. It means I get the carrying case that charges them both, and when I’m listening on one ear, the other is charging - there’s never a point where I can’t have charging. I’d recommend that if you’re considering just the one…

I have been meaning to try Alton Brown’s recipe for Popcorn Cheese Salt, of which Nutritional Yeast is a major component:

Same alien/dinosaur/alien-dinosaur killing fun, except the weapons are even more bonkers. The Cerebral Bore, as mentioned in the article, shoots a tiny probe that heat seeks your enemy. It latches on to the back of their neck, sucks out a bunch of blood and/or brains in a giant fountain spurting from the Bore, then…

Thanks for this - I just took my two cats to the vet a few weeks ago, and I asked for tips to keep them from waking us up for a 2AM feeding... because somehow they trained me to feed them at 2AM. The vets suggested treat puzzles, but the local giant-box pet stores had nothing.

I wish this had another column for “Android Wear”, because weirdly, its “OK Google” capabilities are different from the full-fledged phone.

They don’t fall out of my ears, even when I used the elliptical yesterday. However, I have always had good luck with earbuds staying in.

They compare in sound quality to budget wired earbuds, in say the $30 range.

I don’t think anyone specifically said “timed exclusive”, but this whole deal reeks of it. It’s better than entirely exclusive, which was what I was expecting when they announce it at an iPhone event.

Frustratingly, I just bought another year’s subscription only last week. Oh well, it’s a good product. Enjoy the donation LastPass.
