“ For example, one proposed Karn NFT included a 30-minute phone call with the actor”

I would say this advice is good for someone who already plays, but not a brand new guitar player. Yes, almost any guitar will need a setup right out of the box. That said, if the guitar is for someone who doesn’t even know a chord, I would hold off on the expense. Things like intonation or high action aren’t going to…

With all due respect to this hack, just buy a toilet plunger. They aren’t expensive, and are an essential item to have in any home. If you somehow don’t have one and clog your toilet, just leave it and go to the nearest store and purchase one. If it’s late find the nearest 24 hour store. If there isn’t one near you,…

I don’t work in an industry that’s tied to federal holidays. I do get MLK day, but not President’s Day. What I do get is Fri/Mon on Easter weekend, which is something nice to look forward to in March or April every year. I tend to take a 4 day weekend in February when my kids have winter break as well. 

The vast majority of people don’t realize that sideview mirrors can be adjusted to the point where there is almost no blind spot between the side and rear view mirrors. There is no need to see the sides of your car in your sideview mirrors, it’s just a waste of mirror space. There is also no need to see behind you…

Many people (including me) returned to work after a long holiday break today. This is a cruel, cruel suggestion.

That is really shitty. My wife accidentally picked up decaf for me once. I put my coffee in a glass jar and never noticed. For the 10 days I drank the decaf I thought I was feeling crappy because I was getting over a cold. We eventually realized what happened. 

I really wish our forbearers had placed major winter celebrations in the middle of winter instead of at the beginning so there would be something to look forward to. I say that while fully understanding that the celebrations were centered around the solstice. Still, the best part of winter is at the very beginning,…

This article sort of overcomplicates it. Just look for a blade labeled as being for finish work or something similar, it should have a lot of fine teeth. 

My wife and I put jerky in each other’s stockings every year. When I was growing up my parents always put Slim Jims in all of the stockings, I decided to carry on with a less white trash version of the tradition.

I take offense at your inclusion of beef jerky in the tier 3 category. I would be more than happy to receive beef jerky as a gift. It would be better than getting crap I don’t need that will just end up in a landfill.

This open window thing would be great for people in maybe half the country right now, and I envy them. It’s 24 degrees outside of my house at this moment, windows can’t be realistically opened here during the holidays.

Because their sound and style never really changed or evolved over time. The template was pretty much turn your Marshalls to 10, set the metronome to 220 bpm and rock out. I like Slayer, and don’t mean for that to be a put down, it just is what it is. I could say similar things about another band I love AC/DC,…

I’d go 1)Metallica, 2)Sabbath, 3)Maiden, 4)Slayer, 5)Priest, and 6)Misfits. I am admittedly the least familiar with Misfits, as I mostly know them through Metallica’s covers. I don’t mean any disrespect towards Slayer by saying this, but they are a bit too one-dimensional for my taste. If we were ranking who was “most…

I appreciate this take, but disagree with your rankings. 

Yes, but let’s be honest, most people refer to them as flathead screws, including all of the mechanics in the family. 

Eh, you should cut her some slack on the flathead thing. Pretty much everyone refers to them as flathead screws/driver. 

“The most common are philipp’s head and flat head”

I don’t think winter tires are a waste of money. That said, I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life, and no one in my circle of friends and family use winter tires, and none of them are prone to winter accidents. 

Maybe it’s so those who still use the Julian calendar can watch it when the new year comes around for them.
