I just did it again, this time with my wife’s chase freedom. I got a $20 gift card this time to use later (luggage purchases are coming eventually). It will be interesting to see whether that works (no harm no foul if it doesn’t).

Thanks for this! Combined with my eBates.com chrome extension (12% cash back at eBags right now!) and a plan to transfer the points to the CSR to make the points worth $40 means I got the Cabreau Evolution travel pillow (always $40, never on sale, no promotions ever apply) for a total of about $7 including tax after…

I agree with this article. Except that I believe every single kitchen knife is improved by putting on a 16 degree “Asian” angle, even if they didn’t start that way. And more and more of them are! Turns out the Victorinox chefs knife, for example, comes presharpened that way now.

There is a cash and carry in Nashville. Pretty sure it is east of the Rockies.

I am still naively holding out for non specials.

I have found the Real Simple meal plans to be a good compromise. They send five meals and a combined shopping list by PDF once a week on Fridays for $1/month. The meals are all ones from their magazine and so can all be found online but it helps to avoid the choice paralysis and they do at least some ingredients…

This is my keyboard. It is a great mechanical keyboard gateway drug in that now I have a hard time using anything else, but the key font is really ugly and the backlight is not a nice color and is very bright at the lowest setting. doesn’t bug me that much but my wife grits her teeth at it a good bit. Just a fair…

There are websites with hundreds of different fan edits of star wars (and other movies) available. Many of the star wars ones satisfy this desire. Google it. There are some good prequel edits that reduce Jar Jar and reduce narrative holes as well.

Trackr is running a 20% off promo that makes their bravo tracker cheaper than that tile price. Even cheaper in bulk. Just ordered 10 of them for $105. And trackr has user replaceable batteries.

I got a car loan from Lightstream (an online loan site operated by SunTrust) for $10000 at 1.99% interest before buying my last used car. The amazing thing is that although I had to sign a contract that I would use the money for a used car, I did not have to provide a title and they simply deposited the money in my…

Search “from:John Smith” and write down number of matches. Then search “sustainability from:John Smith” and write down. Use calculator to Divide latter by former, multiply by 100.

You could do this in place. Just swap books over to the left and right of the partition book, sliding the partition book left and right as needed to fit them. Use your human logic brain to aim then in the general vicinity of the right spot (just don’t try too hard and waste time, trust the algorithm) when you swap to…

If you have an American Express card (and their cash back cards are pretty great) you can get a Shoprunner membership as a free perk. This gets you several other sites including Newegg and ToysRUs

I pay Comcast $55 a month for my 30 down 5 up internet. It comes with a cable box for “super basic” cable that I hooked up just long enough to activate two years ago then put in the basement. My rate is promotional but is just got it extended for a third year by chatting with an online salesperson for a while. It…

Yes. I would treat it exactly as I currently treat cruise control.

This is incorrect The link is not there for books side loaded using USB, using the Mobi format easily converted to by calibre. All cases of removed books have been books purchased through the store that should not have been available to sell by the sellers. And as another comment pointed out, airplane mode removes any…

The first half of the book is a perfect fit for Apollo 13 experience. They should just do that. The if it’s successful they can let somebody else do the second half, who specializes in the world building stuff. Honestly James Cameron or the Wachowskis would be great as long as somebody writes them a good screenplay…

That episode was all about shit getting animated, running away, going to a weird carnival island, getting swallowed by a whale, escaping, saving a father-figure’s life, and dying in the process.

This doesn’t even seem to work on a Moto X Pure unless I’m doing it wrong.

Bothans are the second death star
