I’ll add one that is a pet peeve of mine: My Bad.
Replace it with: I’m sorry.

Important note on this is that only the last one applies to FHA mortgages. In 2013, HUD changed the rules for FHA mortgages and requires you to fully pay off a mortgage in order to get out of PMI:

Oh, y’all, there’s so much more. Most states have online court records and prisoner records (and not just current prisoners, but they’ll show is someone completed a sentence, and no, not just for registrable offenses). Sometimes county sites will have even more detail than state databases (and for some things, only…

Yes, it’s more powerful...but I would bet money that in 3-4 years, you won’t see ANY support from ASUS, while Valve has committed to long term support of their product, including the ability to buy individual components, such as the joysticks, to replace when they wear out.

Yes, run your exhaust fan. But also...clean your exhaust fan. The number of people I know who have never cleaned their exhaust fan is truly disturbing. The filters/screens on those things get truly disgusting, and the thought of that hanging above the stove where you’re cooking...yuck. 

Like in many situations, it depends. My wife and I dipped our toes into the world of EV ownership back in Spring of 2016 after test driving our friend’s leased Fiat 500e. We looked into lease one for as low as $49/month, but the $1340/yr insurance was too much to swallow. Instead, we opted to buy a used…

Another major feature of wired, while definitely advanced lvl, is power over ethernet.   If you want security cameras, you can run ‘only’ the ethernet cable and not need a power source for the cameras.

Here come all the upset comments from overconfident cheap ass men.

I think it’s also important to note that for non-AAA gaming — things like dead cells, emulation, strategy games — it’s a dream. I got emudeck running and have been having a ball running back through my favorite SNES and N64 titles in a much more comfortable format than my PC. It’s also, hands down, my favorite Rocket…

Agree with you 100%. This is possibly the worst advice I’ve seen on Lifehacker.

To me hoisin would have fit into this article more naturally than lobster sauce. I think people do tend to think that oyster sauce and be swapped with hoisin and vice versa. And maybe sometimes it can and it won’t ruin a dish, but people should know their differences so that they can accommodate for them in the…

My favorite use for this is to stick an NFC sticker on the inside of the dust jacket or binding of a book on the bookshelf I pass on my way to bed. I tap my phone on just the right book and trigger the appropriate lights to go off downstairs and to go on upstairs and in the bedroom, etc.

Wasn’t there an episode of “I Love Lucy” where she did this and filled the whole house with soap suds? WAAAAAHHHH....

Swap the kitchen towels (non-contaminated) out as often as you run the dishwasher.

Better: replace your shitty old toilet with a modern one rated at 1000g MaP. American Standard has one called The Champion, but it’s always too expensive. I replaced all the toilets in my current house with a similarly rated Kohler toilet and haven’t looked back.  It’s simply a necessary upgrade from old, or builder…

I’m surprised this article didn’t suggest the one thing that not only reduces your use of toilet paper, but allows you to put your toilet paper in the trash can without stinkin’ up the joint:

So, you don’t travel much outside of the US I presume.  There are many places with signage for Americans to remind you not to flush paper down the toilet. 

For those who have never used padded shorts before but want to get into distance rides, a warning: even with the padding, you will still probably experience some soreness and discomfort, especially as you adjust to those longer rides. The pad isn’t some miracle cure that will miraculously make chafing and soreness…

Yes, i’m a hacker. I have two watering systems here in the Pacific NW, where it doesn’t rain from July 1 to October 15 in most years. They consist of: $5 24-hour timers, very cheap 24 volt wall warts, and Orbit/Rainbird type solenoid valves with hose thread adapters. These are on Y-connector hose valves on the hose…

Here’s another idea that just makes sense and gives you better insurance to this situation. It is also very useful if you have an AWD that is very sensitive to tire sizes. Have a 5th full size tire on a matching rim if your vehicle didn’t come with one from the factory. Then, do 5 tire rotations. If your vehicle only…
