I bought something that works just as well for $40 at Ikea.

Who said she or anyone else can afford Obamacare? Have you seen the premium increases?

I hate that we’ve been conditioned to be so afraid of those types of accusations. I’ve found lost kids in the store a few times while out with my own, and while I know that picking up the poor, terrified kid and comforting them is the right thing to do, as a white male, I’m afraid of what people will think. So…

Has anyone actually used a glue gun webcaster? I like the idea, but I’m terrified of the cleanup from my bushes and stucco.

IT. We put a lien on any equipment until we’re paid in full. I’ve walked into offices and pulled people’s servers right out of the rack in the middle of the workday a couple times. That tends to get people’s attention real quick.

I have no problem with it when done right, but most of the people who try to haggle with us do it in a super sleazy way. Comments like, “It’s not that hard, can’t you do it cheaper?” (It is that hard. That’s why the service is priced at what it is. If it’s so easy, do it yourself.) or “Oops I only brought $100 can…

Luckily we have an easy way to deal with them. If you don’t want to pay as agreed, that’s fine, you have 30 days to change your mind then I sell your equipment and send the balance plus storage fees and interest to our collections agency. I have no tolerance whatsoever for that behavior. If you didn’t like the…

As a small business owner, I really hate haggling. I’ve just found that in general, the hagglers are also the customers that hassle you to get things done faster and are the most picky in general.

Now, I don’t mind the “If I buy 3 of these can you give me a deal,” types, but the “Can you do it for $50?” when the…

In this context, they mean frames/second.

I just bought a belt blank and a buckle from Tandy Leather and cut it to length on my own. Best belt I’ve ever had and it cost like $20. I’ve had it for 6+ years now and it’s now worse for wear.

This is basically what’s happening. All the review clubs are saying, “Here’s this free or deeply discounted stuff for being in our discount club. There’s no obligation to leave a review, but we hope you will!”

There’s more evidence for things like sudoku and crossword puzzles, but even those aren’t super concrete links.

I’m sure someone’s thought of it, but why wouldn’t it work to just integrate massive flywheels into the turbines as well for when the wind dies down?

Somebody’s been playing a little too much KSP.

I’d rather have a tent, sleeping bags, and extra food and water in the car, and not need them, than need them and not have them. What does it hurt? Gas mileage in the chaos of an evacuation is already going to be shot to hell, so I’m not too worried about extra weight. Of course if I can get to other shelter I will. …

What exactly is wrong with my setup? It’s not unheard of to end up on foot for a bit during an evacuation, so I’ve planned for it. Realistically, I’m looking at trying to carry 3 days worth of food, water, shelter, and misc equipment for 3 people, plus at least one of the little people at any given time. Pretty…

I bet Comcast would throw one hell of a fit if I all of a sudden uploaded my 4TB+ Plex library all at once.

I used to have nice “go-bags” for my wife and I that could probably have sustained us for months if we could find a way to get food. Now, I’ve really had to pare down to the bare essentials since a lot of my carrying capacity will be used up on small children and their supplies.

What I ended up doing is putting the…

Sadly, something like this wouldn’t last a week in my front yard without getting stolen.

I’m one of the incentivized reviewers (everyone else was doing it, so why not?), but I have the opposite bias. I tend to be overly critical because I’m afraid of being seen as one of the reviewers that never says anything bad. I get a TON of crap through the program, but I have gotten a handful of really nice stuff…
