My brother is an anti-vaxxer organic eater, paleo blah blah blah. Except he drinks normal beer and eats out all the time at normal restaurants. He read on the internet about the benefits of drinking raw milk. I’ve sent him articles like this before and he just ignores them. I’m guessing a lot of other raw milk…

I would caveat here that the exception I’ve found to Black Friday is at Costco. They don’t bring in new, specially-made Black Friday inventory from what I can tell. They sell the same stuff at cheaper prices.

I wish this was as good as it sounds. I love logitech harmony. Been using the 650 for years. The touch remotes I’ve tried have been crap though. The touch screens are too slow, the remote is unresponsive and you have to keep putting it in the charging station to use it. If you forget, you’re SOL for a while. I…

Lifehacker hug of death

We don’t put plastic lids in the microwave. Same reason as my original post. Our products are from Costco, though, and they have an amazing return policy.

There’s a great post on an askreddit thread that gets referenced anytime something like this comes up. It has some amazing advice. In particular, it says that you should not go to a lawyer from a family friend. You don’t want any conflict of interest in this case. Find a lawyer you don’t know.

The only game you can actually win at in a Casino is texas hold em in the poker room because you are playing against other people. You can beat other people. You can’t beat the house. Ever.

I buy a lot of my clothing at Costco. Their kirkland brand is occasionally nice, but I usually get adidas, quiksilver, o’neil, etc. from Costco. Their return policy is amazing. They will take stuff back anytime since you purchased it. I try not to abuse this system, though. If I purchased an item that was supposed to…

Yeah I quit reading ASOIAF at the red wedding partially because it was the damn red wedding, but mostly because this dude is super old and is taking forever to come out with new books. At least Robert Jordan had a succession plan in place for WoT.

We have ditched most of our plastic containers for glass. The plastic containers are rated microwave safe only if they release a certain amount of carcinogens (or less) during heating. I’m not ok with getting even a small amount when I could just be reheating glass instead. We ended up buying several sets of the…

One thing to note on the off brand electronics, the quality issue applies the same to decent brands. They use the cheapest parts they can find so they can still make money on the TVs. I want excellent quality in my TV and did extensive research before I purchased from Costco.

I honestly don’t get the popularity of IPAs. To me, it’s like spicy food. Not everyone likes it, but at least there are usually other options for food. I hate it when bars ONLY have IPAs or they carry my favorite brewery’s IPA over their flagship red ale (which is shipped nationwide). I pretty much prefer any beer…

I’m a little disappointed there aren’t more stories of bad celebs. From what I’ve heard, not all of them are as nice as the ones in this post. Great to hear about the ones that are though!

Yeah 1 with glass doors was enough for us. We have all glass in there and it has to be arranged all prettily and we hardly ever use any of them.

The past few house purchases I’ve been involved in resulted in the seller paying for home repairs. Seller paid for home repairs in 2008 when we bought our house. We paid for home repairs when we sold it later. The seller then paid for home repairs for our new house. According to my realtor, it’s the norm.

Oh wow, that sucks. At least you can refinance into a more traditional loan.

Nice article - about a month too late for oktoberfest though :(

Cabinets seem to work so well by hiding all of that stuff. That just looks so messy with everything on those shelves.

Yeah we had a picture on our phone of the costco vacuum in-store (including the pricing label) and they still wouldn’t give us the price match.

You forgot Rocket League under PS4 exclusives. I know they are working on bringing it out to other platforms, but given the immense popularity of the game, it should be called out.
