Exactly. The best thing about my Evo "iPod" is that I don't really care if it gets wet or dirty because it's not new.

Selling on Amazon is great. I've done it many times with zero problems.

You know, I know I'm going to sound like a Debbie Downer but I think the best idea is to keep the device and re-purpose it.

Most computers come with a traditional HDD, so if/when you upgrade to a SSD keep the old HDD for extra storage/applications! I basically keep my Windows install on my SSD plus applications I use a lot and then have all my games, music, movies, and other apps on the HDD. This way you can use a smaller SSD. You…

From a professional standpoint in business, drug and alcohol use are associated with employee deviance, workplace conflict, absenteeism, punctuality, and a lot of other issues. It's not that they care that you do drugs, it's that it is significantly related to unwanted employee behaviors.

You know, I wrote this like three years ago, and I look back and think....man I was a dick!

Honestly, I don't know. I was speaking from a renting perspective. Considering the shape of the kitchen though I think it would. It's pretty outdated.

That's also very true. I think, however, that people can do smaller things to improve those areas and still get a better return than other areas in the house. If my landlord would just replace the 50's laminate flooring with new laminate, a new laminate counter top, and some prefab cabinets, it'd look like a whole new…

Same here. We sacrificed on the kitchen since we needed a place cheap (plus our landlord has slowly upgraded appliances), but our next place will definitely have a nice modern kitchen.

The old adage stands - Kitchen or Bathroom yields the best returns.

As opposed to the shoe store where people also stick their feet into a ton of shoes?

Generally, I only buy from them if the price is equal to other vendors, or if the price is close enough that it doesn't bother me. I have large feet so shopping online is about the only way I get any selection anyways. But even so, some value the ability to have free returns over a 10% discount compared to other…

Zappos policy is to provide free returns and exchanges for the specific reason to allow people to find the shoe perfect for them. In fact, it's the only reason that I buy from them, so they actually get business by having customer-friendly policies. I also refer my friends to them because of their customer-friendly…

True, I'm just saying with so many vendors, you can likely find the same items to "try out" for similar price, but some without the restocking fee!

I do this with Zappos and treat it like in-store shoe shopping. I find 5-6 pairs or shoes I like, buy them all, try them all on, and then buy the one or two pair I liked the best.

I'd like to update that Paint.NET works a lot faster now for some reason, but I still stay away from GIMP.

Oh god, Keystone brings me back to my college fraternity days. Cheap swill. I can't even drink it anymore because of being conditioned to associate it with hangovers and vomiting.

Jesus just imagining having to grip that while lifting anything makes my forearms burn.

When we first met my gf told me she really liked how big my forearms were. I told her with a straight face that they were like that because I masturbated every day, and let her believe that for a few months.

I'd like to see more power tool Hive Fives!
