I have an echo in my living room, a first gen echo dot in my bedroom, and a second generation echo dot near my work computer when I work from home. I primarily use them to turn lights on and off, check the weather, time, news, and sports. They do make convenient alarms/timers, as when I set a timer in the kitchen, I…

I think the last sentence should have gone all-in and spelled “SMART” as “SMAHT.”

Things I make with apples:

Man, I miss the subtitled Crayon Shin-chan I watched back in Hawaii.

Wow, given the price, and the laughable statement “Personally, I would’ve rather seen the basic remote come included and the controller be the $50 add-on accessory.” I did not expect the Shield to come out the winner here. The controller is the obvious accessory, considering the Shield was originally launched as…

I have a black one of these or similar: https://www.rei.com/product/844629/rei-tech-beast-40l-gym-duffel

I’ve done the seafoam in the oil thing. When I did it, I planned on changing the oil two times. Added it to the oil, and a couple of days later changed it. I was a little concerned at the amount of sludge and grit that came out, but I put in the oil, ran with that for a week or two, and changed the oil again. When…

Honestly, I place most of the blame here on Rhode Island. Now, while I am partial to the Red Sox, and recognize his part in Red Sox history, I think Curt Schilling is a terrible person for his hateful, jingoistic, racist opinions. But Rhode Island backed a professional athlete’s non-athletic venture of making a game…

Wait, wait, wait.... Back to the second sentence, about not needing to know English to enjoy. Is this movie a good candidate to watch in a language you don’t understand? Sort of like how Highlander 2 is a terrible movie, but if you have no idea what they are saying like that time I watched it on a Spanish language…

You need music for something like this.

Barely football? Isn’t a punt one of the few plays that actually involves a foot contacting the ball?

Honestly, the cars that stand out to me most are the dressed up Ford Probes that we’ll be driving in the future of 2015.

I suppose one could make that connection. I don’t really think of the time machine in automotive terms, at least compared to the idea of a show about a taxi cab company. Incidentally, I’m wearing this Rick and Morty t-shirt based on the BTTF logo: http://shirt.woot.com/offers/wubba-l…

I think Tom should name the baby Christopher Lloyd, because it isn’t a car name, because don’t choose your baby’s name based on a theme you monster. Of course, now that I think about it, Christopher Lloyd was a cabbie on Taxi, a sitcom I’ve never watched, which I guess is tangentially automobile related.

If you’ve got a particular problem with these promotions, I’m sure some representative at those companies would be willing to sell you one for full retail price so you can keep your iPhone 6. That would allow you to cancel at will the service you need for the device to be particularly useful, since that seems to be…

Much like everyone else commenting that they at some point in the last forever had been a Boy Scout, I learned about this in Boy Scouts.

Was your funimation subscription subs only, or all access? Sub only, everyone’s getting upgraded to all-access thru the end of their subscription. All access is getting a price cut. If you were an all access subscriber, and do not watch dubs, it sounds like they plan to migrate all sub content to CR, so you may be…

I found out about this when I got an email from paypal indicating that funimation was stopping my recurring subscription. I figured they were getting rid of the “sub only” plan so I’d have to sign up for all-access or something, but apparently, yeah, by they are upgrading subs to all-access, and migrating subbed…

Watching reruns of Gilligan’s island get interrupted with breaking updates, while suffering from food poisoning in a Las Vegas hotel room while on a family vacation.

What I usually do is take 3 cups of flour, a pinch of salt, a “packet” of yeast, one cup of water (or good beer), two tablespoons of olive oil (the oil from a tin of anchovies if I have it, in which case I usually omit the pinch of salt), a tablespoon of honey, knead it into dough, let it rise, roll it into a pizza…
