Finding the right photographer was important for us. We interviewed a few but the one we really wanted, a ton of fantastic reviews and was fully booked, was unavailable on our date. He recommended a friend who was getting started. Going with his friend was a great decision. Not only was he very good, but was a very…

If you hire movers, have them come out and give you an estimate, don’t try to estimate all of your boxes yourself unless they are packed up already. I have used movers before and they always come out if you do the estimate yourself and say that there is more stuff than what you have. Let them give you their estimate…

This isn’t new and there were multiple sites that reported on this as far back as June 2017: https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/12/move-apps-drag-and-drop-ios-11-iphone-video/ and Lifehacker covered this in September 2017: https://lifehacker.com/ios-11-finally-gets-app-organizing-almost-right-1818819165

So I recently wanted to cut the cord with FiOS. Gigabit is offered in my area for $70 a month if you do the triple play option. But if you cut out a service they charge more. The deal is only good for new customers so after they wouldn’t upgrade me, I canceled and signed up under a new account. I kept cable but…

Doubtful, Plex’s premise is to place all of your media on your own server for you to use on whatever device the apps are available on. Plex doesn’t sell a service that gives you TV shows and Movies like Set TV does. Remove the free TV and Movies repos and there isn’t a concern about Kodi. If a person downloads illegal…

Using TSA Pre-Check as an example is not telling the whole story but using the airport in general is a good analogy of what the paid prioritization argument really is. So if I want to fly, I have to buy a ticket from an airline, which we will call the service fee. Now in order to book my flight, i have to select an…

Our financial adviser gave us some really good advice about what to do when we come into money, be it inheritance, tax returns, or any other way. His advice was to split the money into thirds as a start. The three groups of focus were debt payment, savings/investment, and fun. Now if breaking it into thirds doesn’t…

My mom’s pumpkin pie adds either a shot of scotch or burbon, depending what you have on hand. Adds a lot of depth.

The sweet sauce thing is pretty common outside of the Philly through NYC area. A lot of the southern US, even the east coast has a sweeter sauce. One way to cut the acid a bit without adding sugar is to add a bell pepper cut in half and add a whole onion as the sauce cooks. Once they become soft it cuts the acid, adds…

I just don’t think it is entirely practical for most people though. I live about 12 miles from my office. I bring my laptop home with me every day as we are required to. I frequently have to travel with engineering plans and reports on a weekly basis. A bike or scooter just wouldn’t make sense. My wife is a teacher…

Gremlins creeped me the hell out as a kid. Though I never really liked movies with weird looking puppets in them.

The average commute to work in the US is 26 minutes (2015 US Census Bureau). A lot of that is driving in a car. In large cities, you can typically get by with using public transit for most of your commute but if you live outside of the city, you may have a difficult time getting to a train station or finding a way in…

2010 Ford Fusion passenger side headlight is a pain without removing the tire and wheel well liner. All other lights though are generally easy.

I completely agree. I understand that they are frustrated on how things are going but someone needs to fight back as best they can.

Let me clear a few things up for you. Yes people do drink groundwater that is untreated and not just for home wells but for some small public water sources as well. Small trailer parks, shopping centers (with food service places), industrial parks, etc. all can have well systems that do not treat the water at all or…

My intent nor should anyone else should be to chastise you. I have been working in the water treatment industry for almost a decade and the majority of people do not understand the treatment processes, chemical combinations and effects of those chemicals. It can get quite complicated but I love my line of work and…

Chloramines are added to water. You are confusing disinfection by-products like THM or HAA5 with chloramines. Chloramines are created in the treatment process by adding ammonia to the treated water after chlorine is added, among other ways. Chloramines are a popular choice for water utilities as they reduce the amount…

Are you serious?! A 2°C temperature rise is what the Paris Agreement is trying to limit over the next Century. The US is behind on its goals and with the decisions of the current administration, it will have to wait to even try to get itself back on track. Remember, these are goals. Countries should be doing what they…

You realize that adding the Silk Browser to the AFTV’s most likely due to Google pulling the YouTube apps right? It may not be the only reason but is a high probability as to why.

It looks like the National Embryo Donation Center is a faith based center and they have certain requirements for who can adopt or go the route this couple did. They specify on their site that they only allow couples consisting of a man and woman to apply. A lot of the agencies that they list to do the home inspection…
