Doesn’t AdBlock Plus offer “pay-to-play” to whitelist organizations that do not want to be blocked? Given that, I’m surprised it made this list.

Regrettably, a butt may not be the only thing that’s sore after a bike ride, at least for men. I’d like to know what kind of torture-driven masochist designed the bicycle seat, or “saddle” that we now have today. What the heck is that long protrusion in the front for, anyway? Anatomically, it just seems (and feels!)…

Sorry, that was a reference to the movie "The Kingsman".

Oxfords not brogues.

I don’t know if it qualifies as “child care”, but for me it was club sports, indoor volleyball specifically. I paid roughly $10,000/year for five years. That includes the club volleyball fees, travel expenses, strength training, etc. In the end, she did get a nearly full-ride scholarship so the total spent in fees…

I love this app! So much so, that I stopped going to my years-long favorite breakfast restaurant that doesn’t use it, to one that does. Both have a 30-45 minute wait typically. I've got the morning routine down now so that when I show up, I'm the next person to be seated. I kind of feel bad for everyone that just…

I’ll be happy when I can tell the Play Store to never ask me about updating a bloatware app that the provider preinstalled on my phone, and left me with no way to uninstall it. NO VERIZON, I’m not going to now grant your stupid app that I never use, all possible permissions, including crawling up my colon with a…

I came to post the same. I wear black t-shirts like their my uniform. The problem with most antiperspirant/deodorants is that they leave a thick build-up of themselves on the underarms of your t-shirts over time. Looking for a solution, I remembered the Secret “Little black dress” commercials. I get either unscented…

I'm surprised "earthy" wasn't mentioned. It's a polite way of saying this wine tastes subtley like dirt and manure. I personally find pinot noir to be too earthy for my taste. Another common one is "fruit bomb". Typically, less expensive cabs or red blends are fruit bombs. It's just an in-your-face (and mouth)…

This. It's true in all fields of endeavor. As someone who has consumed more wine than most people I know, having a mutually-agreed-upon vocabulary is important in discussing wine with other enthusiasts, or simply the merchant. Taste in wine is incredibly subjective, and it's tough to tell a vendor what you like…

Definitely do not use a utility knife for this. Get a carpet knife. They use very thin razor blades. They aren't at all expensive, and are VERY sharp. As was hinted in the video; a dull knife is the most dangerous tool you can have.

I suppose if your intent is to try to travel for a year with a day-bag, then this is the way to go. Personally, I would not attempt something like this with a 26-liter pack. I recently did some research on a good travel pack and settled on the 46-liter Osprey Porter 46. Among the reasons I chose this pack: airline…

If you are interested in board games but aren't sure where to start, here are a few suggestions. I can't recommend enough joining a local boardgaming club or meetup. They can be found in almost every city. Board gamers tend to be very welcoming and patient when you're new. I joined a very large club in central Ohio,…

5'11" and 200 lbs.? I mean, that's just adorable! What does he eat...wheatgrass?

ALL gyms don't want you to come in. That's the business model. Who didn't know this? Mark is either a gym snob, ignorant, a shill for some spendy gym, or just a douchebag. There's no such thing as a "real gym". Exercise is either something you are going to do or not. It really doesn't matter what the monthly cost is.…

The method I use, and you have to be VERY careful, is to set the shoe polish on fire first. Shoe polish is highly flammable. I let it burn for a few seconds to build up a puddle, then carefully put the lid back on to snuff it out. Now the shoe polish is a liquid that penetrates deep into the pores and scuffs of the…

Determining if you should stay in the relationship is arguably the easy part. Actually ending it is where it gets difficult. The emotional ties that once bound two people together are not nearly as strong as the financial ones (mortgage, insurance, loans, wills, etc.); and definitely not as strong as those where…

VOTE: Any leather bi-fold business card holder.

I have a thick, fast-growing beard. Still, I shave using an old-fashioned double-edge razor and hot water. No shaving cream necessary. I don't get cuts or ingrown hairs.

Tavarish - I read your article on buying used luxury cars and wonder if it's worth purchasing a 5 year-old 500SLS or similar (an upgrade from my '07 Volvo S60). Obviously the maintenance is the hidden price (penalty?) in these cars. While I'm mechanically inclined, I wouldn't say I'm a "car-guy". Can you expand just a…
