Me ? I have way too much stuff to put all computers and networking stuff on UPSes. The expensive stuff gets UPSed and sorta expensive stuff gets surge protected. I tried some less pricey no-name UPSes once, they died within a couple years. The big one protects the giant tv, gaming systems, receiver and such.

When I was young and poorer than I am now, I used the same for windshield washer fluid in the car. Lotsa water, leetle bit of windex. (Florida, so didn’t have to worry about it freezing.)

If someone is making a few bucks off of you buying a smoothie, it's very likely bad for you. If you made it yourself and know exactly what is in it, it's great for you.

Windex !!!! Seriously. Try one part windex or similar to ten parts water. Also, an old time supposed hack is using vinegar on the windows and wiping with newspaper.

I think whether or not owning your own cable modem is a wise idea is largely dependent on your location. I'm in Orlando, Florida, USA — a.k.a. the Lightning Capital of the USA. Decades of experience with electronics here tells me that renting the cable modem/router/wifi is better for me in the long run. Every few

Yes, I agree! Good thing I don't cook much.

Nawp. Don’t need ultrawide monitors. I’m half blind. Need multiple monitors, no matter what the size is. It doesn’t matter how high the resolution can go. I’m just gonna reset it to something drastically lower.

Weeeeeeelllll now we know who will be winning the Hunger Games next year. Thankfully I am far to old to be chosen from my sector.

Hey KK !! The mid seventies called, they want their sunglasses back!!

It's really difficult to get the plate-ing just right when the sides of the cardboard or plastic microwave container are in the way. Sheesh.

I just "foof" the dust off of the plate with my breath, then hold it up to the light to make sure there aren't any spit spots on it.

Yup. When we fire up the Big One, all the streetlights in the neighborhood dim. This would definitely be cheaper.

Maybe I'm not so high end, but my speaker connectors and receiver connections are not banana plug types. What totally blew my socks off sound wise ? When I swapped out my ten year old Infinity surround sound speakers for fifteen year old Klipsch speakers. What a night/day difference. Louder volume without

Can you take my wife and I with you ? Please ?

In two sentences, you proved our point for us. :) Yes, we are paranoid. Yes, other countries are statistically safer. That's why we are paranoid. It's not safe here. The friggin' internet has really fanned the flames of mental illness in the USA.

Now barcodes tattooed on every kid's forehead would really be the ticket. Little girl, are you lost ? Let me scan your forehead with my cell and get your mommy/daddy/guardian/policeman/social services for you. Why the heck haven't I patented this yet??? Half the population has phones capable of scanning barcodes.

I cannot decide if that is a serious comment, or a steeped-in-sarcasm comment.

The RFID chip in our beloved doggie will only do what it is designed to do. Act as a "return address" label if she wanders off and some kind soul takes her to a vet or someone with an RFID scanner. It's coded with some kind of serial number that can be punched into a database so the doggie can be returned to those

Really? An a-howell over 25 cent diff in pay. Sheesh. Yeah, should have been a BIG red flag on his head.
