I would only use soap on a swimming suit if it was dirty. Instead, I use a capful of a chlorine neutralizer solution that removes the chlorine which I feel is what likely does most of the damage. It works instantly. Then hang up the suit to dry.

Years ago in Duluth I decided I’d had enough of making rice on the stove. I walked into a Chinese grocery store and asked them what kind of rice cooker Chinese people bought. The woman said, and I quote, “National Brand. National Brand is the brand Chinese people know and trust.” So I’m sticking with my National (not…

This is why Dark Souls is an excellent game. It forces you to specialize and balance your characters abilities. If you are good at the game you can win with skill alone. if you are not but manage to beat the game a couple times, then only on NG++ do you start to get OP.

I’ve been to Palm Springs many times with kids and I can make a few recommendations: (1) There are beautiful sidewalks overhung with fruit — lots of grapefruits. Anything hanging over a public sidewalk is fair game so feel free to walk or skateboard along and pick some grapefruit for breakfast the next day. (2) The…

I work directly on my laptop but the BEST keyboard I have is the Elgato Stream Deck I have attached to it. With the press of a button I can insert special characters, queue the music I like, reply to emails with commonly used text snippets, and launch websites without depending on bookmarks. It saves me time every day.

“Truck”

I bought a #WithArsenal AI camera thing. $175. Took 6 months to arrive. Slow as shit. I hope the software improves but for that price i could have bought an Elgato Stream Deck or green screen, or a new lens for my camera that would work great.

I have a couple of other useful methods people might try

1. For my daughter I developed a simple mantra for cleaning her room in order: “Stuffed animals, bed, toys.” She had to pick up the animals (which all went into one container), make her bed, and then put her other toys away. Easy to remember

2. For myself (for the…

Probably not what you were looking for but:

Without a doubt my idea of a perfect space heater would be a heated mattress pad, which my wife and my two cats also enjoy night. For heating up a space I enjoy occupying for hours on end, it’s perfect.
The Sunbeam Slumber Rest Premium Electric Mattress Pad. Less than $100 on…

I enjoy washing dishes. It’s a relaxing manual chose that helps me kind of decompress at the end of the day. My wife cooks almost all of our meals because of my work schedule and washing dishes by hand helps them not wear out and it’s a way that I feel like I contribute.

I am sure I am gonna get creamed but I love my Toyota Solara. For skiing, put on a set of Blizzak WS80s to get you up the hill easier. Car is inexpensive, looks fairly cool (I think), rides comfortably, and is inexpensive to maintain. Back seats are very comfortable for passengers and easily fold down to pass in your…

Tucker. Dude got screwed.

Can you explain how that is better and how it works? Sorry I just saw your comment. I comment so rarely I do not ever think to look for replies. :-)

Flew to Tampa and rented a car, opting to save $10 by not renting a GPS, because I had brought my own. Driving away from the airport I realized that my GPS did not have Florida maps on it.

Only reason I would upgrade from my T1i is to get an audio input for an external mic.

Think ahead -- if you buy a minivan with fold down or removeable seats you can have something useful now, and something useful later. I have 2000 Sienna that is better than a pickup. I can haul lumber, 4x8 sheets of plywood, cinder blocks, huge loads of dirt, carry a canoe on top, and not care about something…

Minivan with dark windows in the back to build an area to sit comfortably. You can build some kind of blackout box inside to be able to sit back there and do your work in peace.
