We've had two of those, and while they work nice I don't trust them around our little kids so we only use them when working from home (and kids are off at daycare). One of them had the heating element burn out last year after about 5 years in service. I would say they work pretty good, but not awesome.

THIS. Here's an actual job description from a Software Engineer position posted at my wife's company. While this is technically what Software Engineers do, it would be damn nice to know what programming language you'd be working with...
I took a 20% raise recently when I moved to a new job that's about a 50 minute highway commute each way (old job was 10 minutes on side roads). I can see where it's soul crushing for most folks, but one of my terms of accepting the position was to work from home 3 days a week to keep the commuting down. It's worth…
Nah, I think they're just paying the Comcast/Verizon trolls tolls...
Totally agreed, we removed and re-textured our ceilings a few years ago, and even a cheap sprayer will save you hours of time and ensure your arms don't fall off.
Would love that, I also think it would be a great parody video set to Kayne's "Power"...
I humbly submit some Steppenwolf and while it's not classic rock, queuing up a little Wagner when you ambush somebody always fits...
Yeah, End of the Line was amazing from start to finish. My only complaint though is that I heard Valve offered James McVinnie and his team newly recorded audio from the actual voice actors if they wanted some dialog, and McVinnie turned them down. It's still just a rumor I think, but I really wish it had some…
Not so fast, I see Oracle on there. My sister in law works for them, and her whole team hates their jobs with a passion (writing up sales agreements and contracts for enterprise customers). They routinely work 7 days/60 hours a week, particularly around the end of quarter, and while the campus amenities are pretty…
Spaghetti, it's a recipe I can make in my sleep since it's just browning some ground beef, tossing in the jar of sauce to let it simmer for a bit while the pasta cooks. Ingredients are usually 1lb of ground beef, 1 jar sauce, 1lb spaghetti noodles, no more than about $10 for the whole thing. Sometimes we'll put in…
My daughter is 4 right now, and we've already talked about this as well. She didn't seem to be too phased by the "Santa isn't real" concept since we never emphasized it to begin with. We did say though to please not discuss it with other kids at school though out of respect for their families. It's tricky to handle…
Definitely the commute as a consideration as well. I recently changed jobs from a company that was about 10-15 minutes away to a competitor that's about a one hour commute each way on average. It was a nice bump in pay, but the distance and the cost of my time gave me a lot of angst over taking the position. …
For me it's things like that along with Origin forgetting my account credentials EVERY FUCKING TIME. Why do they even have this box if it doesn't work? I've also got a buddy who tried 6 times over the course of 2 days last summer to buy Titanfall on Origin and it kept throwing weird errors at him. He finally gave…
I would love for this to be a thing. Makes as much sense as some of the outfits the mercs wear... :)
Calling it now, the rebuilt Lion's Arch needs a coffee shop (or pub) somewhere called the Central Perk...
I did that when I finished off the basement at my last house a number of years ago, and he had a lot of time saving tricks to share as well as knowing the codes. One of the best was to cut a 2x4 to the correct height you need for drilling holes between studs so that you can use that as a template instead of measuring…
