No way this is going to catch on. Nobody is going to pay for the machine, if the machine were cheap nobody is going to want to buy the pods. These machines are adding water and carbonation, so (aside from the beer) the pods themselves would have to either be virgin cocktails or high enough ABV that it may be…

but not the requirement of being able to leave the engine at home when you don’t need the added range.

It depends on what the tradeoff is; obviously the extra weight and drag would reduce a vehicle’s range, the generator would just need to provide a range boost to offset that loss by enough to be worthwhile.

I was not aware that the chevy volt carries its gasoline engine on a trailer.

We have lots of hybrids that exist as a plug-in electric car without an internal combustion engine, that have an optional internal combustion engine range extender that is towed like a trailer?

assuming it could plug into the car’s existing charging system (I don’t know if these cars charging systems preclude this, since if it assumes the charger is stationary i’d expect at least some sort of alarm to dissuade you from ripping the plug out), uhaul would be a great option, since the only other thing you’d…

I mean, it is a reasonable idea; for shorter distance drives, like in-town or the like, you can leave the trailer behind so you aren’t carrying the weight and volume of the gas powered generator “range extender.” For longer trips, you tow the generator for the range. It wouldn’t be for everyone; people who need the…

I’ll try this sometime, but I did want to ask about the skillet preheating.  While I use a set of cheap stainless steel clad tri ply cookware, what about people using pans with a nonstick coating?  I’ve heard bad things about preheating those, with or without just oil in the pan.

Yeah, I scrolled down to say that the steps covered here are among the least needing of a how-to. Confirming power supply connections and wattage, confirming motherboard capabilities, confirming physical dimensions if you are thinking of sticking a larger card in a smaller case, considering a separate card to offload…

It is a pretty neat service, though.  Basically the postal service images the front of letter-sized mail as a step in their auto-sorting.  You sign up for this service, and they email you those images.  The doom and gloom here is the fact that someone can register online and have these images emailed to them, and use…

Setting aside the horror of knowing something is a problem, reporting it, and having your concerns ignored by school administrators only to find the person went on to become a mass murderer, if I were one of these coaches, I’d probably throw this in the school administrators faces at literally every opportunity until…

Aside from, you know, the tragedy of the shootings themselves, whenever I’m viewing the latest one of those articles, it always gets to me a little more when I scroll down and see the entries for “recommended stories.”

I don’t know how selective “select” locations are. over the last few years I think I’ve bought these at all the wendys locations I go to regularly. I can imagine major cities may not stock them, or may have a limited quantity on-hand for the season, and I have had the keytag not honored at an airport location, which…

I mean, I’m pretty sure this is less classy than when I claim not to believe in resealing a bottle of wine, preferring that the whole bottle be consumed. Of course, lately I’ve been having to buy small bottles and even cans of wine to use for cooking for myself; I don’t think it’s fair to the wine to let it sit, and…

Has there been one of these about tongs?  

Has there been one of these about tongs?  

I mostly just hate handwashing tongs. When the job calls for them, they do the job well, but in most cases, I’d rather use chopsticks, spoons, or spatulas.

Counterpoint: Siggis is the best, and anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong.

I mean, the students can be picked up, and “classes will proceed” in as much as “students will be in their classrooms so we know where they are until either the end of the school day or parents/guardians can pick them up.” It’s a pretty safe bet that any competent teacher will abandon their lesson plan, as they’ll…

Yubico has NFC and USB-C keys.

Yeah, I definitely scrolled down to suggest the extremely high likelihood that the table was haunted.
