honestly the ones I’ve had trouble with are when studio-specific services either go under or change names. Like things from Warner Bros used to direct you to a flixster website, that for a while directed you to a WB Digital Redeem site that has you try to redeem the codes on either vudu or movies anywhere. I had a…

Eh, I’m in for one. On Prime day I got a 10" model, you know, to use as a tablet to read comics and watch streaming video on, and since it was replacing my old 7" fire hdx, I traded the old model in for $10 in credit, which also gave me a 25% discount on a fire tablet. Unfortunately, unlike the e-reader 25% discount,…

The fictional beverage it reminds me of is Tantrum from How I Met Your Mother

I skimmed the article.  I’m going to assume that the association ended with all members found mysteriously pecked to death in their own homes.

One note about the door, it probably opens/closes a lot easier most other parts of the year.

Beets are delicious. Especially when they aren’t from a can, they’re sweet with an earthy flavor, and they pair real well with steak.

I just got home and started the process myself; For the Fire tablets, the 25% is added to your account after you send the tablet in, whereas with my kindle, they offered to apply the 25% instantly; so if you haven’t sent in your kindle, you may be able to get the credit immediately.

Did the trade in discount apply to your purchase today?  I’m thinking about taking advantage of some of these deals when I get home, but from the wording of the trade-in offer it sounded like they apply the trade-in offer to your account after they receive your device, so I wasn’t sure.

I mean, I’m pretty sure I know the lyrics. As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti? Maybe not.

One tip that can go along with the “leave no trace” principles is to be aware of “microtrash” https://lnt.org/blog/small-trash-big-impact-0

For 25k, I recommend buying 25 Ford Probes. Your family refuses to ride in your beater? Double down, or in this case quinvigintle down (I’m sure that’s wrong, I just grabbed the latin prefix from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix. Maybe take the greek multiple proportional quantitative and icosipentaple…

I wonder how much all of that weighs. I made a Dr Octopus costume that weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 lbs and the arms weren’t designed to move, though I could probably have cut that weight down a lot with optimization. This seems to be a larger scale, but I assume with a lot more work put into it in…

I mean, as far as I know, there are already compostable plastics, and straws are already available. I think they’re generally meant for large scale composting, as opposed to single family kitchen composting which might not reliably break them down. Problem is that in a lot of cases, people would still just end up…

When I was in college, I got campus safety talks from the campus police. A lot of them involved advice about avoiding being a victim of “crimes of opportunity.” Things like locking doors, not going to isolated areas at night, not wearing headphones that block out all sound in similarly isolated areas, that sort of…

I don’t know, I’ve eaten some steak blue enough that I would not fault another person for sending it back

It is weird seeing that video because I know that’s a shaving brush. The other side of that little stand he has is for a shaving razor. I’m sure it has never been used as such, but I just keep thinking “I hope he rinsed that really well.”

I have several suggestions for what people can do with their hands on stage. I haven’t tested these, so I’d be happy to hear how these work out if anyone uses them.

How hard is it to pit an avocado? You don’t even need a sharp knife, I’ve usually used my standard flatware knives, the same knife I used to cut the avocado in half. You just sort of whack the pit with it, and give the pit a twist. The pits are soft enough I wouldn’t be surprised if you could do it with the back of…

Steak Bomb

Yeah, I mostly see the Tomra machines here in Massachusetts. 5 cents per can, and I think machines in most stores only accept can and bottle return of products they sell. I used to turn my cans in, but at some point, I decided that curbside recycling was too convenient to justify keeping redeemable cans in the corner…
