If there are no cars approaching in oncoming traffic, I would have crossed on the curves as well to reduce the speed reduction - helps catch up to the biker quicker.

I agree with you. Whether you’re on a bike or in a car, you can see what’s in you rear-view mirror, ESPECIALLY flashing red and blue lights. The kid on the bike was obviously trying to outrun the cop car - STUPID. Young, cocky little asshole on a crotch rocket.

As productive as I usually am, I have to admit that it’s depressing that I violate almost every one of these rules on a daily basis. They are all common sense ways to approach organization and excellent rules. My wife follows almost every single one. I have a new goal - to try to implement one of these every week. I’m…

Great concept, similiar to a smaller dish within a slow cooker. Indirect heat (non-contact) and contained food item. I’ve always cooked my sunny-side up eggs with water to steam (added halfway through), but this makes life a bit easier. Unsure if I’d use the jar lid...silicon does sound better and probably safer.

Slow cookers have been relatively cheap with more brands entering the market, but I think this is more of a 'cheaper' fix to this issue. $2 for another bowl vs. $20+ for another slow cooker.

I completely understand the math and the perspective of the insurance companies. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming them for one second. Yes, bringing a solution to my legislators would be a great first step, but finding a solution that works is the difficult part. Like you said, not having insurance does not stop…

I apologize right away for being a simple thinker, but with so many details, our world is built on gambles and chance. Our world has been complicated so much over the centuries that even though it could be (and likely will become) worse, people and organizations are constantly finding ways to get ahead of everyone…

I know this has been reviewed before, but SOO important for everyone. I’ve been in the ‘poor’ category before, and that is probably *the most* important point to have a budget - not only to get out of debt, but to start saving for emergencies, new car, etc.

Thank you for the info. I hadn’t tried this yet, but it does make sense that it would not heat a whole room. I suppose 3 or 4 of these setups may work a bit better to heat a larger space.

OMG, funny! Especially after the ‘smell-be-gone’ ad, I haven’t seen a video this funny since If Google Were a Guy!

Skipping the horribly creepy Ad, I watched this and more of Dave Hax’s videos. A bit different with a british accent, I still really enjoyed watching them. I learned something from most all of them. The tealight heater and the home-made cough drops are so simple and cheap, yet awesome and effective!

Teamviewer. Just enough to make it better than VNC, but not so good that it costs money like DameWare. Don't get me wrong, DameWare is just awesome at what it does, but it's not <free>.

There ya go makin’ Thanksgiving even freakin’ MORE awesome! It’s bad enough I have a love for poultry (specially the skin - everyone gives me theirs because it’s ‘full of fat’ - they’re so missing out on crispy awesomeness of flavor), but now I have the Best...Breakfast...EVER!

Am I the only person left in the world that actually visits the physical business the first time I'm a patron? I only order from places that I've actually been to and have seen the good/bad of the operation.

I have to agree with you. These are all related and interconnect with each other, but they are not ‘basically’, ‘mostly’ or even ‘kinda’ the same thing at all. Someone can work hard all of their life running in a circle, being persistent at that circle. That person still has not gone anywhere or achieved anything…

I use a steamer pot for beans, broccoli, etc. Basically a stainless steel pot with a steamer insert. Depending on the veggie, 5 to 10 mins and they are still crisp and crunchy but hot and flavorful.

I see this discussion going several different directions. I’ve read this entire book and couple of others, and this is the point that I think Mr. Kiyosaki is trying to make:

There are several products available in grocery/department stores and automotive parts/supplies stores. Something such as CLR (Calcium/Lime/Rust remover) or something a bit stronger called Naval Jelly.

“You can remove sap from tools with turpentine” - in true LifeHacker tradition of using household items that you already have, Isopropyl Alcohol is very effective, as well. I use this trick for pine tree sap in clothing during the cold season.
