That’s the last time I buy a diesel TV, that’s for sure.

I like to play “Chile or Mars” with my coworkers. When a rover photo or Chilean desert photo comes up on my rolling desktop I make them try to identify where it’s from... it cuts down on repeat visitors.

What? ....Why?

+1 for Toilet Paper and +1 for Ice Cream. It’s store brand Mayo, sushi two isles over and Vans shoes for me.

My company provides the 16GB version (albeit still the 5s) and really this is more than most people need on a business phone for e-mail and the handful of sanctioned apps. I find it small even on a business phone and want it to get bigger for selfish reasons but I logically don’t see why it NEEDS to be.

I just read this while sitting on the toilet.... now what am I supposed to use?

the “e” vs “c” problem somehow disappears when you zoom to 90% in fact everything looks better at 90% IMO. I’m using Chrome. I agree the font is bad on computer screens.

Agreed, but the dubious sensationalist nature of it makes me question how such an author managed to create a coherent powerpoint it in the first place.

Gotcha, Vive release date to coincide with Half Life 3.

Yep, don’t skimp on things you’re going to use all the time but for the once-in-a-while tool I’ll go cheap.

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, go there first. They don’t have nearly the selection and specialize in tools, shop equipment and tarps apparently but it’s much cheaper. But you get what you pay for which is fine for most home owners who don’t use the tools too heavily. For instance I got a $15 angle grinder that…

I guess I need to qualify that as *my wife + my net worth*. We both have been contributing to 401k’s since we started working 10 years ago and started Roth and traditional IRA’s about 5 years ago. We do use a financial adviser who occasionally/actively manages the activity, which I recommend if you don’t know or want…

This is a nice round number. Seriously, a net worth of this by the time I’m 40 seems like a good goal.

My mother-in-law sent me (and everyone she knows) what I presume to be this very email w/ a lengthy powerpoint presentation. The title was about Mars being the same size as the moon so I read for the lulz. It was a very bland presentation so no one was paying attention by the time it got to the important part (on…

No thank you! Not after Metroid Other M which was a movie disguised as a video game, the only difference being you had to push “A” to advance.

I do back sweeten the cider a little and kill it with sulfite (also to preserve it if it happens to sit) so it’s still for storage. Two bottles fit just about perfectly in the soda stream and I’ll just carbonate them as I drink them. If I give some away or take some to a party, etc... I’ll carbonate, put it back in…

I use my soda stream for carbonating homemade hard cider and wine. Just be careful when you depressurize, go slow so it won’t fizz all over your counter. When you’re done wipe the dispenser part down. I never thought to do cocktails, I'll try these for sure.

Not unprecedented.

I guess it’s time to get off the fence and just get Elite: Dangerous already.
