My first and only thought was that the device is probably one of the network of many, many NOAA buoys that are dropped off to measure water temperature, salinity, current speed, etc over a number of years.

I just can't bring myself to pay $20+ for a fricking plain white t-shirt. It's hard enough to pay that much for a t-shirt with some unique art work on it. But a plain, white t-shirt? NFW.

I’ve done all that. I’m just annoyed that their undeletable crap is taking up valuable space on my phone

I’m on Verizon. I consider some of those bonus features a problem since I have zero interest in using them and I can’t delete them off my phone.

1st tip...have a garage big enough to use. Mine is a concrete box barely big enough for one car. And I already have to park my motorcycle, tools, cords, and misc. outside work stuff in the garage so they won’t get stolen or damaged.

If you’re out late at night and take the trains, be ready for the large number of very drunk ‘sariman’ aka office workers going home for the night. I don’t know how they can do it almost daily.

I wasn’t knocking welding. I was mocking the assumption of the author/poster that most people who read this blog are going to know how to weld and would have access to the equipment. I *want* to learn how weld. But I only know a small handful of people who can weld...and that might be a failure on my part.

Just weld it..yea, right. How many of you can weld and actually have the equipment? Let me see a show of hands... one...two...that’s it? Just two of us can weld a clip to leatherman?

The only danger that you might loose something is making your wallet lighter with a woman’s tax.

I thought if nothing else, run the wires straight down as far as the slack will let then turn each one to run across the wall at 90 degrees from the vertical. At least that will give you a circuit board look on the wall instead of loose cables.

I like to position myself in the section of the train that is going to stop right in front of the exit stairs at my station to get ahead of the crowd of people walking slowly up the steps. Where the trains stop at each station are pretty consistent so after some experimenting, I found where to wait for the train on…

I recently interviewed for a GIS /IT manager position with the school district office of the county in which I live. I showed up 10 minutes early. Twenty minutes later someone came out and said it would be a while. My interview was an hour later than the scheduled time. The panel proceeded to ask one question each,…

I have a metal hanging file basket from Tarzhay, 5.5” high and 13” wide. Gives me a solid place to support the monitor and a cubby to put stuff in under the monitor like reading specs and my sekrit passwords that I have to write down..

Relish!?? Ewwwww! Nasty, nasty stuff. And this from a guy who loves kimchi. :-)

We do a curry tuna with apple, raisens or craisens, nuts, carrots, and celery.

I've just had an 18 month experience with the paid level above free. At least for me, it wasn't worth the cost. In 18 months, no one asked for my LinkedIn profile and no one contacted me because of my profile. I participated in a number work related groups answering questions and making commentary. Kept tweaking the…

You’re supposed to use them to pick your teeth.

Yes! Crispy brownie edges are something I would throw away if it weren't wasteful. As it is, I suffer through that part of eating a brownie if I get stuck with an edge piece.

Oh, none of that is any fun. Back when I worked as a scrub tech in an OR we used the classic method of keeping your glasses from sliding down when you were sterile and couldn't touch your face. Before scrubbing in, apply a piece of tape to the bridge of your glasses and then stick the 1"-2" tail to your forehead. …

I'm a cheapass movie goer. I almost never buy anything from the concession unless I'm starving and didn't have time to eat something before hand. That said, I used to frequent both a Regal theater and an AMC theater depending on the showtimes matching my schedule. The Regal card got me free tickets, free popcorn,…
