As instructive as this was to see, I'll bet that the airlines don't implement it has something to do with the possibility that they need to stall until the ground crew gets their act together.

One that isn't the same size as the bag you used to check but now have to cough up $25 for. Sorry, folks, but cramming your entire wardrobe into the overhead bin is as obnoxious as the anti-recline dohickies if not more so.

Double-edge sword, this is. As a gentleman, looking for a ring is pretty much the first thing I do if an encounter goes outside the bounds of a professional one. In my experience, real jerks don't care if there's a ring on or not.

There's a very big difference between untidy and disgusting. Untidy might simply mean that the person in question has too many more important things to worry about than being obsessive-compulsive. A painter whose coveralls are pristine doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't spill. He might be tossing the stained…

I'd add "How to do real-world projects" for STEM students who are fed a constant diet of theory without practical applications.

#6: Do you have two years pay in the bank and no debt? You'll need it if you want to quit your day job to start your own business full time because it takes a while for it to be self-sustaining.

Bison is yummy but unless you like meat rare in general, the results are less than stellar. Charcoal definitely makes a difference and I'd like to know if there's a way to pull off that taste on a gas grill.

The perfect burger starts by grinding the meat yourself. Start with chuck. Then you need to sweet-talk the meat cutter (no longer called a butcher, btw) into giving you some beef fat trimmings. Additional fat mixed in with the chuck makes a big difference. And you need to run it through the grinder twice.

In my experience, this is wrong. You need the bubbles in the batter when they go into the oven. The heating the moisture and gas in the bubbles causes them to expand. Once that's accomplished, the bubbles need to be disrupted so they don't cause shrinkage. Dropping the cake right when it comes out keeps the…

Here's a great trick I learned from a Springer-Verlag book on baking science. As soon as you take the cake out of the oven, drop it on the counter from a height of about 12-18 inches. What this does is pop the bubbles in the now set batter foam. As it cools, the air in the bubbles shrinks which causes the cake to…

There's no point in building a fire if you're dying of dehydration. Find water before anything else.

Stereotypical alpha males, obviously. Alpha males always seem to win the girls even though most of them are full of sh*t and can't do anything. Why Hollywood keeps trying to convince us that the beta males get the girl in the end is beyond me.

Serious question: Can anyone recommend a Drupal theme designer who isn't going to a) try to convince me to use another CMS, b) isn't going to try to sell me maintenance (I can do that myself), c) isn't going to sell me a real-estate theme they built once two years ago and just keeps rehashing the same thing?

I'm often amused and baffled by the fact that Costco in Scottsdale, AZ carries stupid expensive alcoholic beverages life $10,000 bottles of wine.

Don't quit your day job until you have two years pay in the bank and no debt. It can take two years for a business to turn a profit. That two years pay is your safety net.

How much did the lawyers get?

So, pretty much everything controversial is quite possibly bad science. That fits pretty well with the 90% Bullsh*t Rule of the Internet.

Jeez, that list pretty much covers everything. Thanks a lot. But you forgot one really important one: Procrastinate now. Don't put it off.

They have to bring back the horses otherwise this reference will be lost on future generations:

I've got one of their spectrum analyzers. It's kinda cool for seeing what's happening in the 2.4 band. Checking it at a convention center during a trade show is impressive.
