I either use the screw-in plastic anchors or I find a stud based on need.  They’re easy to install (just a screwdriver) and hold a decent amount of weight.  If the screw in achors aren’t strong enough or if it’s critical, I’m going to find a stud and deal with the pain of it not being exactly where I want it.

Hey Lifehacker, I’m going to show you how to write an article:

Plastic drywall anchors are just freaking fine for any application that you would WANT to hang stuff on drywall. There are dozens, if not hundreds of different solutions to hanging stuff on drywall and a lot of people make it into this huge debate about…

You absolutely cannot even pretend to be a life-hacking-do-everthing-better-advice-giving website and publish absolute garbage like this. This is one of the laziest, ignorant, misleading, phoned in articles I’ve ever seen published. A ten year old on TikTok could fake better advice. This article is so bad it should…

You probably could figure out how to make a slideshow out of it!

Don’t be lazy - posting some pics of the different kinds of anchors would make this article way better.  You probably could figure out how to make a slideshow out of it!

i made $15k one year buying $2.97 ed hardy markdowns from sams club and auctioning them all off.

It’s not even new either.  I knew someone that scoured thrift stores and sold on eBay 20 years ago.  There are just more platforms for it now.

It’s basically how all retail works. They buy wholesale and sell retail. And then there are shops like TJ Maxx that buy close-out merchandise on a discount and then sell it in their stories. Or people who buy from the clearance aisle at Target and Walmart and then sell it on ebay (retail arbitrage).

I spent five years running around to every resale store/church sale/yard sale/ free finds for the better part of early fall so children residing in area shelters could have their pick of Halloween costumes. Going through dodgy piles in the hopes of getting some intact garments. Hauling garbage bags full of donations. T…

<quote> I often only get to game for a half hour at a time, and I just remember feeling like doing exactly the same couple of minutes long loop over and over again just wasn’t enjoyable gaming in such short sessions.</quote>

It’s crazy how some publisher/dev heads have come out in recent years to say that live-service elements are a must for sales and bottom lines, yet

By making more great games? It’s a formula that has worked for decades, even for R*. 

hand-wave hand-wave hand-wave, I’m going to say that Bill the prepper retrofitted his truck (the S-10 in question) with an engine that can run on basically crap. He was more or less ready when everything started so that he put himself in position to survive, so I’m going to say that his particular S-10 is going to do…

How it hell is lifting up 5 gallons of gasoline, balancing it on an plastic tab against the fuel filler hole and then PUSHING DOWN considered safe in any way. I spill much less with my “unsafe” older gas cans. 

The best stories have an element of truth in them.

FUCK safety spouts. God!

I don’t know about 20 years, but I do know that my 5-gallon can of gas that I use to top off my lawn mower lasts for three or four years before I need to fill it back up.

Also, safety spouts can piss right off.

I must be lucky, because I use the same old ass gas and my mower starts right up after a handfull of pulls. Then 1 or 2 pulls every mow after that.

All good stuff, but one other note. All of those different things that different women want? Sometimes the same woman wants different things on different days (and sometimes different things on the same day). It all boils down to this mantra: Communication is sexy.

I’m paying for my son’s college tuition, room & board, car & car insurance and health insurance. Why should I need to pay for TWO accounts while he is away at college? He’s part of my family.
