i mean...isn’t thinking of birthdays on a monthly basis normal for kids under the age of 1? isn’t that the whole point of saying “he’s 5 months old” rather than “he’s 0 years old.” moms (and retailers) count in monthly increments even through the 2 year mark. i don’t understand the need for snark here given the…

Got to love people who act like the current global status quo applied to whatever historical situation they’re talking about! Something tells me that before the recent change in relations the last any of these people heard of Cuba was the Elian Gonzales kerfuffle.

And that is relevant to the OP’s post... how? Batista was worse. Great, got it. It doesn’t make Fidel a great guy. Might as well be saying “Hey, Cuba: at least this abusive boyfriend only left bruises where they’d be covered by clothing, unlike the last one who’d fuck up your face, too! AND at least he’s nice to you…

I’ll settle for “he was terrible.” That’s an appropriate eulogy.

One corrupt regime was displaced by another corrupt regime.

My mom called me crying from a casino in Vegas. She was born in Havana a month after he took power and lived in that hell for twelve years. I’m so happy my Grandpa got to see this day. Fuck Castro.

Mulching mower FTW.

That moment when you realize you opened all interesting articles from io9 up in multiple tabs, twenty+ total, and one of them is now talking to you. You panic, clicking them all, WHICH ONE OF THESE FUCKERS IS DOING IT. Tap, tap, taptaptapTAPTAPTAP...

Please everyone do yourself a favour- get a floor jack. Even if its a bargian basement cheapie ,it’s still a hundred times nicer to use than other options.

I find it unattractive that the digital torque wrench is only rated to 99 foot pounds. Working in the automotive industry, I come across several vehicles per day that require the wheel bolts to have more torque applied to them then that. Also, there is no mention of torque angle with this tool on the article. What can…

Is that... a dougnut or other confection covered in nonpareils?

Wrong jack to recommend, at least for most people, in my opinion. The 2 ton low profile is superior in lift height... a whole extra 4" inches. You could do a lot with 4 more inches.

Factory service manual. Invaluable.
