Another person that carries around a $200 pen in a bag. Yep that’s about what I believe. At this point I think lifehacker chooses these bags on purpose to generate replies and interaction. But this is a bag that you see on the table of a freetrade coffee and artisnial tea shop in Brooklyn. I’m surprised theres not any…

“that’s probably not even close to what you might think it’s worth, or even close at all to Blue Book value.”

And very likely far less than you owe. This is why gap insurance is important. It pays the difference. Just don’t buy it from the dealer. On my last car purchase, the dealer charged me over $750 for gap. My…

I wish there was a way to make a unified platform on iOS/Android.

Toyota: Let’s Go Places We Shouldn’t

Chef here: not sure where they found a golden delicious that didn’t turn to flavorless mush when baked. The reason tart apples are used in baking are: they tend to be more firm, their higher acidity tenderizes the apple just right when baked, they tend to have a lower water content, preventing mushy crusts, and their…

I love Kenji, I own his cookbook and take his word very seriously, but this is totally wrong. I bake a lot of apple pies and get universal praise for them, using the technique I learned from my parents. The secret is to use a variety of apples. Generally speaking, that’s half Braeburn, a couple of Granny Smiths, and…

There’s a full wing recipe that he did back when Good Eats was still a thing. Those were the days. Here’s the full recipe. I thought that when it was on the show (Almost a decade ago! Ugh!) There was some baking soda step. Looks like it’s been removed, or I’m crazy.

That is obviously an electric perpetual motion engine. By my calculations he is probably getting about 513% more power out of it than he is putting in and I can’t believe Big Electric hasn’t removed that picture from the internet yet.

His battery must be so charged.

Looks awesome, but I’m a little disappointed that the specs sheet on Roku’s site only list 10/100 ethernet. Seems like at this point 10/100/1000 should be a given. Still looks great though, might pick up an Ultra model.

Hey Shawn Wayne, of all the movies you’ve made, what was your favorite role?

I’ll just leave this here ;-)

Surprised to see the Twin Cities left off the list. There is a robust start-up culture here and a number of major corporations have significant presences. Plus, cost of living isn’t nearly as bad as either the West/East coast and the quality of life is outstanding. And the same magazine ranked it sixth for finding a…

I live in Metro Detroit and it is HORRIBLE for IT workers.
Most of it has been taken over by slave wage H1B’s.

A few drops of dishwashing soap and hot water in the sink. use a paper towel to scrub, rinse and then rinse again using the hot water function from the coffee pot/kcup/whatever.

It’s definitely more expensive, but I use ethanol free gas for all our small engine tools (string trimmer, mower, edger, etc.) You can google your local area for places that sell it. I see it at a few gas stations and places that rent equipment and ATV’s.

By far the best thing you can do help a recently purchased lawnmower run better, is speed up the throttle.

For what it’s worth, a $10 flat file and some patience can sharpen a blade as well, and sometimes you end up with a more durable edge because you’re not heating the blade up so much. Sounds like a lot of work but it’s really not that bad, did mine yesterday in about 20 minutes. I also don’t have a vice, so I used a…
