With the exception of last year, my heater only runs 3 months a year, and not very often at that.

Boise is the fastest growing city in the US, with attendant increase in housing cost. Prices aren't completely crazy yet, but my house is worth 65% more than what I paid for it, and is increasing by the year at too large of a rate. Thi

This article is almost 30 years old. No one pursued it because there's not a cheap and simple way of getting 2-stroke engine emissions down to an acceptable level. ICE are far from obsolete, and will be in demand until the day we wring

They can use an okay quality thermal joint compound if it is applied well. My Dell's thermal joint compound looked like someone was trying to make a PBJ sandwich with the stuff. Applied too thickly, and it becomes an insulator. Mac use

I had a Toshiba with a 233 MHz Pentium that cost me $2000. It wasn't hard to spec a laptop to $3000 back then. Macs are expensive relative to some other products, but they are pretty cheap for what you get.

It's not popular on the used market because of the $40 million reconfiguration bill. This plane really only works well for Emirates flying people to a few airports.

It's primarily a reflection on the store manager's desire and ability to run a store well. There are two Lowe's in my area. Same demographics. One has lethargic employees and is poorly stocked and in disarray. The other one i

Older women working at the cash registers typically don't have the strength to move items around in a trolley full of lumber and giant boxes full of nails or other heavy items which those stores are full of. One of the local HD's

Flying in an airplane is safe because of direct intervention by the government. Cars have been made safe for us also by direct intervention by the government. From important things like mandating seat belts and crash safety to smaller thing

When I was 9, parents moved from a suburb to the country. There was a large dangerous canyon not 4 minutes walk from my house. At the bottom was a fast, dangerous river. I never tempted fate. I did get all manner of small injuries from doin

One good hail storm would be a much more expensive fix. Insurance paid nearly $10k for my new roof after hail ruined it. Solar panels would have tripled that cost.

I didn't make the claim, the article did. Also, I read reviews of them online, and read many complaints of soggy sandwiches.

Interesting article. I never heard of them, but the original CEO blames real estate as being the cause of failure. He overlooks the fact that their sandwiches were MICROWAVED. Who in heck microwaves a GRILLED cheese sandwich? $6 for a tiny,

It's a 4400lb car that will do 0-60 in 6.4 seconds in top trim. It's 4 cylinder engine is both supercharged and turbocharged. The demographics determines the safety, not the number of cylinders it has.

I built a standard (non gfx) Ryzen to replace my old back up box, and it's been 99% fine. The only issue is the slow POST time, but that's an MSI thing and not a Ryzen thing. The rollout of new mainboards and Zen+(non gfx integrat

It is pretty hostile, and is rather amazing that Microsoft has learned nothing since the Windows 95/IE days and the shenanigans they used to pull.

That would be no surprise. I used to be a big TG fan but didn't even finish this season. A lot of my friends used to be TG fans, and they've also quit watching. It's not too hard to believe that the C/H/M formula ha

Baofeng radios are only marginally useful on the receive end, and generally terrible on the transmit end. A decent Yaesu is $165+, but will last for many years and actually fulfill its role if you need it to. Look up tests of Baofeng radios

An argument that begins with "most people" is rejected because of the pure ridiculousness of it. You have no way of knowing what most people thought or knew.

It's an execution of literary critics and snobs of that era. Read it a few times once you have gotten used to the dialect, and a few things become readily apparent. Dr Seuss was also very good at poking fun of literary twits.

Revisit this post in a year, and I'd not be surprised to see that it was correct. Turn Chipotle into an upscale version of Taco Bell and market the pants off of crappy food and sit back and watch profits grow. Chipotle can't reall

I just read bout that...what an appalling effort, and they should have known better. They have serious issues of a newly designed pistol cannot match a $150 Makarov in terms of manufacturing quality.
