Three tries isn't "difficult". 20 tries would be difficult.

The biggest complaint most people have about 8 is the Start Screen. If you think of it as just a full screen Start Menu, most of the pain and headache goes away. Your pinned apps in 7's Start Menu is what shows by default. If you want to show all, instead of going to the Programs and expanding from there, you right…

The article called out that 10% was used to make the math easy and that you shouldn't expect that rate of return. When I give people examples, I always use 5%. It's a reasonable return and the math is still fairly easy (it's 1/2 of 10%).

I always thought that around 5% was easily do-able with acceptable risk levels for most people. So I've always had a goal of amassing $2M and living off of 5% interest "forever". I've participated in my 401k ever year that I've been in the workforce and should be able to reach that goal around retirement…

I found the mixture to be less important than the right temperature for perfect pancakes.

In high school, I had an army surplus backpack.....that thing lasted four years (where I was quite rough on it).....better than any other backpack I ever owned.

Those stats don't indicate how many use it as their PRIMARY device....just how many use it. I use more than one device to stream Netflix, but my primary device is my Blu-ray player. I still think that the number of PC-only / PC-primary streamers is shrinking because of all of these other devices which provide easier…

Kia Soul doesn't come with a spare but does have a tire well for one. But it does have run-flats and a tire sealant (plus a pump, I think).

Not sure if Comic Sans is the right font for this subject......

The bottle blocks too much of the bowl. Need a better design that still gives free access to the bowl.

1saleaday.com sells a similar product often enough for around $25. And you get a choice of colors. I'm all for building things on your own, but really only if it's easy enough to make and the parts are convenient. If it's more trouble to build it than to buy it, you'd be better off using your time building…

I was working and living in New Orleans and my (girlfriend at the time, but now) wife and I were starting to get serious, but she lived in another town. She had kids, and New Orleans really isn't the best place to raise a family. So I asked her if she wanted to move with me. We didn't have a long list of cities,…

You could make a bracket that it can slide into and mount it underneath.

Feminine deodorant next to men's vitamins.........

Oooo. I got one of those desktop novelty crane games............

You could probably do it by monitoring the power draw (along the lines of a Kill-A-Watt) and when it drops below a certain level for a sustained period (say 3 or 4 minutes), it could send out an alert.

My new washer and dryer have an estimated time on the digital display. It makes it much easier to set a timer. As you adjust settings (extra spin, heavy-duty wash, etc.) it adjusts the time.

Or you could get an old GPS for cheap. They'll calculate your speed using GPS distance over time.....plus it has the added benefit of looking more professional. You can get a GPS unit for way less than the $115 spent in this article.

I try to get scent free for every component except one (detergent, color bleach, stain add-in, or fabric softener).....that way the scents don't conflict. In my case, it's the fabric softener, but at times the detergent

Most of the caps have lines for "1", "2", and "3". "1" is plenty for normally soiled clothes......and you're supposed to run the detergent and water before adding your clothes so that the detergent is distributed better.
