Yes, but there are times where basically the same item will be priced seemingly randomly by ounce, by pound, and sometimes even by count (how many items in the bag or box). Is $.33/oz a better deal than $5/pound? How about $.31&

Might not work for you but I enjoy using a push mower. I have an electric mower that I have to use if the grass gets too tall but the cord gets in the way. My electric cuts 19" and the push mower is about the same, maybe a little wide

There were other factors but what totally turned me against the NCAA is that the athletic scholarships are renewable every year. If you're hurt or are spending too much time in the classroom then your scholarship might not be renewed.

I dropped my motorcycle endorsement when I had kids. There were too many death notices in the newspaper where a guy about my age was killed because a car "didn't see them" and turned right in front of them. In most cases the

Thank you for posting this. I eventually figured out that I had to hold and swipe to make the delete option show up. Just swiping it started it.

I have an iPhone and AirPods, both with the Lightning port. I charge them every night with $7-$10 Qi chargers from Amazon. I've read that doing wirelessly charges slower but that's supposed to be better for the battery. Rarely

I misremembered the scene from Robocop. It was a strategic defense laser, not a power laser, that misfired and set 10,000 acres on fire in Santa Barbara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEYoY3NwF24 About 4:30 in.

Because Lance Armstrong threatened to ruin (and came close in a couple of cases) the lives of anyone who looked like they might expose him. The doping is one thing. The effort to cover it up was something else again.

I thought it was pretty accurate - I put it on 55th Avenue here in Portland and it went past 60th Avenue. Blocks are 200 feet long, streets are about 30 feet. Total seems close to the 1312 feet that Wikipedia says the Ever Given is.

In the State of Oregon only state-licensed stores can sell hard liquor. "Hard" seems to be about 20% because you can buy wine and beer under that percentage in grocery stores. The price is the same at all stores and there's

A lot of travelers swear by McDonalds near the highways. The restrooms are clean and I've never had an issue with using them before paying. Unlike the city, where the signs are either "no public restroom" or "restroom

A couple of days ago, I had deliveries of 3 box fans and a case of 6 MERV 13 filters. I just put them away in the attic. It'd be nice not to use them but here in Portland we've had bad wild fires nearby in 2018 and 2020, bad eno

Surprised that there's no mention of Wi-Fi 6E, which is rumored to be in the Apple phones coming in the fall. Having the 6GHz band as well as 2.4GHz and 5GHz seems like you'd get a year or two of having lots of room for your dev

Before we moved to our current house, a house a couple of blocks away was a meth lab, there was an accidental fire, and the fire department let it burn to the ground. My next door neighbor bought the property and had to go before the local

Can't say for Canada but in the US the colleges look to the parents unless the student is over a certain age (most commonly 26). There's the FAFSA[1] required by almost every college. Many private colleges also require the CSS Pr

It could go that way. But the idea is that Massachusetts might charge EVs extra license fees because they want to replace the lost gas taxes whereas Montana and Mississippi wouldn't. Massachusetts already has different and higher p

One of the things we've lost with the decline of newspapers is investigating and publicizing things like this. Locally, the city decided to disconnect its open air reservoirs and replace them with reservoirs underground. It's a h

What you're worried about is reasonable but it doesn't seem to have much to do with the article. There's no mention of the mental health clinician and EMT in the van grabbing people, throwing them in the van, and hauling them

AdGuard DNS is easy to set up and free. I went with it because there are 5 of us at home all the time due to COVID and I didn't know if we would hit the NextDNS limit of 300,000 queries a month. 10,000 queries a day sounds like a lot

Pretty sure this is a reference to the cases where Tesla has revoked different features (SuperCharger access, AutoPilot, extended mileage) from cars. Sometimes that seems to be because they had the feature enabled by accident or the car was
