Sorry, I missed the point of your post. I see what you did there. ;)

...when sounded like “a”, as in “neighbor” or “weigh”. That’s the way I was taught.

The article states that simply “running low” on fuel causes the damage. I’m not a mechanic or an engineer, but this doesn’t sound right to me. If moving air, rather than gasoline though the fuel pump causes damage, then wouldn’t you have to run the tank completely dry (or at least to the point where gas is no longer…

Had to Google that term. I’ve seen it done in Kentucky as well but never knew it was a “thing”.

Whut.

Is it just me, or has the level of guilty navel-gazing among libs (always high) gotten out of hand recently? Yes, I identify as mostly left-leaning, but I’m increasingly embarrassed at the left’s apparent regret and guilt at being human beings that desire to enjoy the fruit of our modern society.

Exactly this.

Nice article. I have also found that turning off the television slows down my perception of time. I used to veg out in front of the TV for hours and it would seem like I had no leisure time. When I kicked the TV habit,. I suddenly found my free time to be more abundant and much more enjoyable.

Me too. Either that or the scene abruptly changes and I lose lucidity. It’s very frustrating. Looking forward to following this topic.

I don’t mean to sound unkind, but to my eye the “after” is not much better than the “before”.

That’s what I was about to say. It’s well worth the discount for me. And I’ve actually bought — and enjoyed — a couple of books based on those ads, which are generally relevant to me.

Never mind the Oxford comma. I want to know why it’s suddenly considered fine to join two independent sentences with a comma. As in: More Passwords Have Been Compromised, Change Your Password Now. I’m looking at you, Gizmodo Media. ;)

I’ve almost made the mistake of buying incompatible accessories for products several times for that reason. Dumb bots.

Seriously? At McDonald’s they don’t say, “Would you like to make that a large combo for $1.99 more.” Why would anyone assume that an upsell offer is free unless explicitly stated?

I’m a lifelong DIYer and thought I knew all the tricks. But the sliderule one blew my mind.

Man. Just when I was about to give up on Lifehacker, Eric has to go and post two very useful articles (this and the Universal Kernel Manager). Guess I’ll stick around a while longer. Thanks, Eric.

I agree. I’ve been using LP for many years and have been a premium user for about 3 years now.

Or just take a look at any of the dozens of appliances you probably have with clocks. ;)

I’m with you. I recently bought a OnePlus 3 and I’m loving it. I won’t consider a phone in the Pixel line until they offer a reasonably priced one.

No it doesn’t. You score the backside -- from the front it should be the same as a single sheet because there’s no break -- hence no need to tape and mud.
