Oh, I don't mind at all where the blood ends up. It should obviously be going where it is needed the most. What I feel a little uneasy about is that a clinic I donate my blood to could be turning around a selling that blood for somewhere around $230 a pint. Now I understand that that clinic, or red cross branch, or…

This is excellent news! I hope this actually goes somewhere and inspires some actual change in the iMessage platform.

Cool article Chris, glad to see someone focusing more on lightweight backpacking type stuff here on IndefinitelyWild. I would say I backpack in a similar style to you–I go as light as I can without spending crazy amounts of money, and while trying not to compromise my comfort too much. I use a pepsi can stove that I…

None that I am aware of!

I had the chance to swim in this stuff one time, absolutely amazing experience

Awesome, thanks!

I must say that, while I agree that donating blood can save a person's life, I became much more skeptical of how much good deed doing the red cross and other blood bank organizations are really doing after listening to the radiolab episode where they delve into the topic a bit (Link). I'm no expert on it, but from…

Oh god, what a glorious spitball that is.

Does this mean my next license or ID could be made from chocolate?

That is brilliant, any idea who he contacted to get those blanks? or roughly what the price was? I would love to make a knife for myself with one of those blanks.

I did all this, and though it seems like it should fix the problem, it doesn't.

Had this exact problem last fall when I switched to an Android. I realized after I had already traded the iPhone into Verizon for a rebate that I had to do more then wipe the phone, but figured "no worries, I'll just turn iMessage for my phone number off from my Macbook and that should fix it" Wrong. I got on the…

As someone grew up riding in volvo 240's and had a few myself once I was old enough to drive, I can officially say that this video is awesome. and true. In every way possible.

Any product where the maker says it is not needed seems a bit doomed to fail in my opinion. Also 23 oz is a hell of a lot of weight to haul around with you if you're backpacking.

It seems to me that for a driverless car the number one priority for that "robot" should be to keep the people in "its" car safe. The other driverless cares around it should be making those same decisions, therefor I suppose I am saying that no car should be authorized to kill its passengers, but instead should do…

I want to bury these somewhere in the middle of nowhere china and watch people freak out when they find them.

They check out pretty well on the weight scale (pun intended). The Trava ($329) comes in at about 3lbs. 8 oz. for trail weight (They also give a pitch weight of 2 lbs 3oz, not sure what that means, as usually trail weight and pitch weight are the same, with packaged weight including other stuff like repair kit,…

I'm sorry but that was horrible.

Quality, Speed, Price. Pick two.

Gotta disagree on this one. If you are serious about baking you will be measuring everything you use by weight, and if you deviate from a recipe you will be writing it down in a notebook or journal of some kind so you can look back and see what changes might have produced different results.
