I usually use Windex or some other cleaner. It slows them down and helps clean the mess after I've squashed them..

I don't cook enough to imagine running out of salt. I don't usually have a spare lemon lying around though. It would be more helpful if I could do the conversion the other way, but lemonade would be deadly...

"Amazon Prime Streaming Now has 2000 New..." Uh, no it doesn't - not yet. It still doesn't have the CBS offerings that were announced last week either...

For the kitchen trash, I usually lay a folded bag over the side of the trashcan, then put a new in the trash can, ready to use. That way, when I pull the full bag out, I don't have to reach into the bottom of the trash can and the bag stays dry even if the full bag leaked.

Since the camera was shooting a seconds-long exposure on a moving plane, the curves are likely due to the plane and thus the camera moving... (rolling, yawing, pitching)...

I thought the cat looked pissed that he could no longer control his human with his thoughts...

I thought he looked pissed because he could no longer control his human with his brain.

Agreed - the F1 produced about 1.5 x 10^6 lbs of thrust each for 2-1/2 minutes...

In general, online prices are lower (for the things that I buy) and often delivery is free and I can search for a specific item from multiple sellers in minutes. That combination is usually why I buy on-line, not because I'm *avoiding* taxes. Some purchases I make *are* taxed.

For a brief instant, I thought the title was, "Cloth Masks Trap Gases for Better Flirtation".

I think that the improved reception is because you're not attenuating the signal with your hand nor your head.

I *like* the mobile site - when I browse on my mobile...

@DingoJunior: Good luck with that cyclone. I'm actually more worried about you guys than I am about us!

@jmanfletch: Why should they? Why can't they work on something that interests them? They are no more obligated to "help people in the real world" than other people in the real world.

More like Power Rangers and 70's Clash of the Titans...

I must point out that AT&T service seriously sucks even when you DON'T have an iPhone. I have a Blackberry and still suffer from crappy connections, dropped calls, etc.
