the response about the eye comment rubbed me the wrong way too for the same reasons. I don't think I'd jump right to correcting the child that "funny" is not an appropriate way to describe someone's eyes. Instead, I'd ask the child why he chose that word and use that as a gateway into a larger conversation. Maybe even…

didn't microsoft just announce that windows 10 upgrade was going to be free for 7 & 8 users?

there's a chance you are over training. remember it's during recovery that you actually build the muscle. sore is different than pain which is different than lactic acid build up. I would definitely bring it up with your coach who will be in the best position to evaluate your program and concerns.

that's not limited to T-mobile.

I couldn't disagree more if you apply that to cooking. A teaspoon of anything while cooking is pretty worthless for nearly any ingredient you are going to cook with in my opinion. Especially if you are talking about a spice from a jar you bought during the last bush administration. It's just too little of an amount to…

I'm a little surprised anyone would think that a tea spoon held a teaspoon of measure. Especially anyone who has ever actually bought flatware. It's pretty obvious that spoons are all different shapes and sizes and that is often a major deciding factor in which set you buy.

i'm not clear on what advantage you'd expect to see by letting it idle in the parking lot vs letting it kick on when (and if) needed on your way home from work. If you use 30 miles on your way to work, the engine would kick on about halfway back home. then you can finish charging when you get home. You're only using…

you could but you wouldn't need to. the engine isn't directly linked to the drivetrain like a prius or most hybrids. the engine would kick in to supply electrical power on your way home when it is needed. running it in the parking lot all day would be a bit less efficient because you don't get to take advantage of the…

3rd kid was only part of it. It made the cargo area clunky when you fold down the seats. Also, with 1 kid, the car seat often goes in the middle which keeps the other two seats open. Going from 4 seats to 5 seats isn't as big of an advantage of going from 3 seats to 4 seats.

right, that even says it's indirect

nope. engine generates electricity only. it simply is not connected to the drivetrain. it's more efficient that way.

better than a name like Tahoe, Aztec, Cherokee, Tacoma, or any of the others used without permission from tribes who never see a dime in royalties.

This is hands down the winner (at least for bikes). I own 5 of these. Two insulated, 2 not insulated, and 1 in the smaller size. Ever since I bought the first one, I file every water bottle into two categories, the podiums and everything else. I ride 3-4k miles every year and have a box full of water bottles (most…

The Freeways. The airport is a faster and slightly easier way to get the hell out of LA but it's not free. I will never understand why anyone would choose to live in or even visit LA. [/snark]

so in other words "don't shop for food while hungry". #captainobvious

Trick to opening a bottle with a cork like this is to slowly twist it with even torque while allowing the pressure to push it up. When the cork is almost all the way out, cover it with your palm let some of the pressure out by just barely cracking it open. give it a firm tug for that satisfying pop noise. immediately…

I didn't say they don't have the budget to fulfill the promise of the donations. I said schemes like this often fall short of donating the full amount that was budgeted to donate. It's like if you made a whole bowl of rice and said you are going to feed a hungry person but will only give him one grain of rice for…

you must have missed the irony

It's great that they are putting some of their massive profits to good use but I'd respect them more if they just plopped down the cash they want to donate plus all the money they spent putting together this marketing campaign.

you're not even making any sense. I think you are seriously confused and replying to the wrong person.
