A couple years ago I bought the well reviewed TOTO Washlet C200. I live in a small town so wasn’t able to test it out first. Got it, installed it (you’ll need an AC wall socket near the toilet), and tried it out. I didn’t fit on it very well.

I have the Google Home Hub in my kitchen and it’s mostly useless. I also have an Amazon Echo Dot in the kitchen and I’ll often give the same request to both units as a test of sorts. 99% of the time the Amazon gives a better answer. The Google Home Hub leaves me frustrated in how dumb it is. The only advantage over…

Last year (2018) I bought the Miele Electro + vac for $500. I had ordered, and returned, their much more affordable $200 vacuum because I’m an allergy sufferer and it blew out too much dust. I ordered the more expensive unit only for its better filtration, and it does make a difference as I can vacuum without breaking…

Things that have helped me or others in the past to lose weight.

Covert Bailey's 'Fit or Fat' book. A godsend for me way back when.

My mom used to successfully lose weight by eating half of what she normally did. That way she fed any food cravings.

My problem with this is that in your article you paint Michael Brown as some sort of little innocent kid who for no reason was shot by a racist police officer. Not the story I've read in reliable news sources (ie NOT Fox News)

You need to pick a better martyr than Michael Brown if you're going to write about the misuse…

My family is from Michigan too, but have been in OC since we moved here in the early 60's. Funny, after so many years I've been running into a lot more Wolverines of late. More than I have in all the rest of the decades put together. The reason is obvious of course.

I still miss Michigan, even after so long here. I…

Oh, and I carry a tiny Microsoft Bluetooth Wedge mouse to use with my tablets. When I first opened the box I had thought I'd made a big mistake because it was so small but after using it for a few minutes I got to really like the little bugger. It gets a big workout every day and takes a beating in my pocket to boot…

I left wired mice back in the 90's where they belong. I never had one last more than 6 months without the connection at the mouse end going flakey.

I'll up your dual monitors with one of the new ultra-wide models. (no seam in the desktop) Once you try one you'll never go back. Even skeptics have changed their minds after spending time with them.

Especially when the well sounding Monoprice and Andrew Jones designed Pioneer speakers are such a deal.

As a crotchety and even OLDER guy I agree and disagree with you.

I also go back to the AM radio days, and they sucked big time! It was better than nothing, but not by much. FM was such a joy before it turned into another AM clone as far as media, FM Stereo another jump in enjoyment, CDs, quality digital music files,…

When you do these Hive Five articles you should include what those around your office, or other techies you know think too.

Bartender's Friend is a good alternative to Bon Ami. I think it might be a bit less abrasive too. (learned about Bartender's Friend here on Lifehacker).

And don't forget borax powder. I use it (or Bartender's Friend) for scrubbing hard water residue off shower doors and the bathtub, to adding a handful into a wash…

Other than more of the girls having tattoos, and that the prices for lap dances seems to have gone way up from the golden days of clubs in the 90's, the comic strip is pretty good on its info.

When I was still going to clubs I treated everyone politely and was interested in them as a person first. I was very surprised…

Since so many people are using computers with SSD drives nowadays you might have wanted make the distinction between SSD's and hard drives - and that defragmentation tools are not needed for SSD drives - in fact a defragmentation tool will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the SSD drives.

Been a Braun shaver user for most of my adult life (I'm 62), worn several of them out - however what Braun makes today can't hold a candle to the ones of 15 or more years ago. The last two (expensive) Brauns I've bought have given terrible shaves and even cut my skin a couple of times. Luckily most shavers offer a…

There's also rEFIt boot manager.

For non-mucus areas like skin and around nails, ground pepper will stop general bleeding.

Been using them for years. Saved hundreds of dollars.

Cherry probably got fired over this.
