How about not using devices that use weird connectors. Micro USB charging is a requirement for me to buy a device these days

I have been doing this for many years with cornbread and it is delicious. I don't use a cup though, just a heaping tablespoon. Whenever I tell people about it they think I am crazy especially when I tell them I learned it from a trapper who baited his traps with this kind of cornbread. I have never thought of using…

"Myth 6" is true. The last line about not blaming your metabolism is total BS. I went for many years with a underactive thyroid because doctors just assumed it wasn't my metabolism. I had to figure it out for myself and even then the docs were hesitant about giving me a cheap and simple blood test. Our healthcare…

So I live in a older apartment. It has a crappy a/c unit like you would find in a hotel. The windows are not compatible with a window unit a/c. Any tips on how to lower my a/c energy usage. Turning it off is not an option as I live in a hot climate.

There is more to it than whether you put the water in the pot or the bag. With freezer bag cooking you don't actually cook the food, but rehydrate it. The actual cooking is done at home on a regular stove and then you dehydrate it. Besides not having to clean a pot other benefits include having a gourmet meal with…

I literally don't have any of those people listed except a super, but since my building is a crappy one a tip is not expected.

I can't really see a good contractor making offers on things without seeing it in person.

Going to the animal shelter and playing with puppies is the most awesome volunteer work ever.

If you wear something out you end up spending so much more time maintaining your old stuff that it is really not worth it sometimes. The iPod that is talked about that only holds a charge for 15 minutes just sounds like a pain in the butt because there is a period where he was using it when it held a charge for only…

You can try to sound smart by calling it the multiple benefits principle, but it is just the old saying "kill two birds with one stone".

Another great benefit of less landscaping is there is less to maintain. Yards take a lot of work.

I turn the sound off on my GPS so I actually have to pay attention to what is going on. This lets you learn with a quick backup if you need it.

A great thing you can do for helping animals travel is getting piece of clothing you have worn and throw it in with them. That way they can always smell your scent and feel more comfortable.

Really the only reason to go to a coffee shop is the atmosphere. Getting expensive coffee to go is a horrible waste of money. On top of that the most expensive drinks are usually more like desert than actual coffee.

This is definitely going in my tool kit for starbucks. I rarely go there, but when I do the wifi is always crawling.

Smoking inside is just gross. I am fine with smoking, but there is no way I will have anything to do with anyone who smokes inside. I helped one of my neighbors move a TV into his apartment not to long ago and the walls were dark yellow. He is happy to see me when we pass, but I would prefer it if I never saw the…

A chain cleaning tool is really not that expensive. They cost $20 on Amazon and it is a lot easier than taking the chain off.

early beta? fricking noobs. I have been with them since back in the days of Grand Central.
