I worked at Target 15 years ago. I still have half a dozen around the house including one in my pocket. I love being able to use it as a pry bar or cut something against concrete and just change out the $0.10 blade.

I knocked up the worst person I’ve ever met.  It was a stressful year until the DNA test results came back.  Here we are 10-15 years later and nothing is that bad.  Have to move across the country?  No big deal.  Not getting paid for 6 months?  Sure, no problem.  That leg doesn’t work anymore?  At least  I didn’t…

This is the cable I carry around.  It does USB 3 speeds and 3A.  To do that current and those speeds, there is a lot of wire in there.  It has about a 3" bend radius.

With just the hot water running something like the dishwasher or clothes washer or toilet flushing will cause pressure to change, but you won’t have hot/cold pressures changing independently.  That means the temperature remains constant.  It’s also convenient for doing dishes, only having to change one knob to vary…

I don’t just look at the star ratings, I also read the reviews. If other people can get 3A through a cable and USB 3 speeds then it’s probably good. Fake reviews tend to not have those details, just ‘very nice cable’ or ‘cleans dishes well’ for the cable review.  Off-brand is usually my go-to for adapters and oddities…

Because Lifehacker hasn’t told you how to delete it yet and you, like me, are helpless without their instruction?

Waking is such a problem on my HTPC that I created a batch file to do this. It just has powercfg -lastwake and powercfg -requests, followed by a pause command so the window doesn’t close without me seeing the results. It’s usually NextPVR’s recording service needing to be stop/started that wakes it 2 minutes after…

On my HTPC NextPVR constantly wakes it after a couple minutes even though there’s nothing to record. Every couple days I have to stop/start the recording service to get it to quit it.

Once again, lifehacker almost to the rescue.  My cat hairballed my new sofa a couple hours before you posted this.  Will look for a label for next time.  Thanks!

Also releveant, camelcamelcamel.com will show you price history and allow you to get notifications like this for Amazon.

There are a lot of ways a company can handle this kind of problem. Officially firing her, but having her work secretly as a consultant or something, would have stopped the phone calls. Blacklisting her is just some vindictive shit, justifying a nice high-profile lawsuit.

Don’t just throw those on the ground, McDonald’s fries can take up to 10,000 years to break down.  Or a decade.  I don’t know.

This seems relevant:  I came across canned water that’s supposed to last 50 years in storage.  It’s filtered and sterilized and whatnot.  It is also ridiculous expensive; >$2 per can. 

Just a friendly warning about Costco gas:  The last time I had a membership the gas was 10% cheaper than anywhere else, but my car’s gas mileage was 20% worse.  It was definitely a bad deal for me.  I urge anyone else trying their gas to watch your mileage, your car may be more or less sensitive to it than mine was.

My old company did something similar by setting all meeting 30 minutes before lunch, in the break room.  It would have been great, except every meeting ended up lasting an hour and a half, locking everyone out of the breakroom until it was done.

So the doxxers made money?  Bang Bros essentially paid a ransom encouraging the next doxxers to do the same thing.

My tinnitus is basically white noise, and the net result is that people have to talk louder for me to hear them.

I appreciate the warning. I don’t shop at places that pull these shenanigans. My local Arby’s started asking “medium or large” when I ordered a meal, like small wasn’t an option. Obviously I can just say small. The question itself is the real problem though, so I just don’t go there anymore.

I keep an old wallet with $50 cash in small bills and change, and a $50 visa gift card because sometimes credit card is the only option.

Now I want to start throwing creed cds in open windows of parked cars. Of course I don’t want to pay for the cds, but it would be a fun prank.
