don't feed the trolls!

After over a decade of not running, I started up again last November. I was doing really well, and was finally getting back up to reasonable times and distances, when my feet started erupting in pain. Doc diagnosed plantar fasciitis, and prescribed some stretching exercises and a night splint. Pain is gone now, but…

I've always been a DIY kind of guy. A garage full of tools, a house full of needs, and a mind full of imagination.

Ask, and they should be able to provide updated policy information. Like a cop asking for proof of insurance. It's not fool-proof, but services like Angie's List are supposed to be pretty strict about checking up on contractor qualifications. I've never had any issues w/ contractors I found through there, in any…

We've hired out a ton of work by using Angie's List, and it's been awesome every time. You get clear reviews, and clear "leaders" in just about every work area you can think of. Members give detailed desciptions of work done, and how much they paid, so you can actually get round numbers for work without having to…

I have no idea why anyone would do this.

Argh the baby swing with no AC adapter was the most ridiculous thing ever. We must have gone through 100 D batteries. I thought about rigging something like this up so many times ... glad to see someone did.

Agreed. Agressive hiding and unfriending have turned my feed into a very fun place. I've been telling people to reclaim their social media for years.

I think every resume needs to be formatted to look ok when printed (i.e. clean margins, large enough text, appropriate page count, etc). I never receive printed resumes directly from candidates, but I do print them out for reviewing, or to bring to an interview. Sometimes I'll do a blind interview for someone else,…

True, but once you blow on the surface, it'll start to boil like crazy and quickly return to 212. Nature is not a fan of superheated water.

Nice to see such a heated discussion on literary structure.

Even if you could, you wouldn't want to hack your USB card to output more power than it's designed to.

Microwave till it's at a boil, which will always get you to 212. Take it out, long pour it into another mug to cool it slightly, and you're good to go. Should always get you to about 200F. Pour it back if you want it even cooler. In any case, the method is repeatable, so once you get a procedure you like, it'll…

bahaha

ooo that's a good one!

Our 2 year old got pretty sick at the beginning of the year. He had a fever and sore throat and stuff. Without realizing it, we let him get really dehydrated ... all the sweating and painful swallowing and all. It made him completely lose his mind. He cried nonstop, picked up objects and dropped them immediately…

I would have thought I'd like all-meat chili, but i find I'm missing the alternate texture. I like chili with SOME beans, but not swimming with them.

hopefully this doesn't result in a 3-assed monkey

well played.

Sometimes doing those steps can actually help you realize you're wrong to criticize in the first place. Criticism can often be a kneejerk reaction.
