As a fairly new home owner that is tackling more and more DIY projects, this new Workshop section of Lifehacker is probably now my favorite part of the Kinja family.

Another good tip is to avoid student loans if at all possible. There's no way out... Well, there is, but you know what I mean.

I re-soldered some brass fittings onto copper tubing in my bathroom remodel. You really have to leave the torch on it for quite a while to get it hot enough for the solder to flow correctly. Took me a few tries to get it sealed correctly.

I haven't seen votes this close since Scotland threatened to leave the UK.

After the big market crash, buy a tone of stock in all the big banks since they will be worth pennies. They won't go out of business because the govt will give them money, and eventually you'll make 1000%+ returns.

Anyone else here use Soluto? I've only tried the free version for my own computers, but I like using it for simple maintenance and updates.

A friend of mine named that phenomenon as getting "hangry". You've been hungry for just long enough that you become angry.

does this work only with disposables? Or can recharables be tested this way?

A friend of mine recently did something like this. He needed to have his lot re-platted, and turned out several of the people on the block needed to as well. So they got a huge discount for having them only to come out once and split it.

I prefer to not have poopy drawers... Thanks.

Thanks Junior High and High School! If kids weren't so damn mean, we'd probably grow up not having to worry about things like this so much.

The difference is read/write speed. All class 10's are not the same. The pricier one is about twice as fast. Check the numbers like "45/mbs", "95/mbs", etc. on the card to see how fast it really is.

I broke mine during use. Damn cheap metal... I'll go with this perforated lemon routine next time though, since I'm all for reducing the amount of kitchen gadgets I own.

Are you a stalker? That seems like something only a stalker would know.
