it's not working for me. probably just slammed. it'd be nice to be able to actually just click on a restaurant listing in the map rather than having to search for it. also, happy hour options might make sense -- maybe some way to

Does anyone find the little "finger" shapes confusing? I would rather see circles, so my brain doesn't have to adapt to a new way of reading tabs. Also, the inverted "D" shape is hard to parse because it's not

The site keeps repeating video. Try the share button, copy the link, past and open it and you’ll see the same footage again and again. I’m not convinced it is live at all.

On the east coast you'll also hear "pruhjhoot", "Muhtz" and "Sopresat" (prosciutto, mozzarella, soppressata).

This definitely works for me. One of my favorite solutions. I used to have a bottle of concentrated bacteria but I don’t know where to find that any more. Now I get something called mosquito bits and let them soak in the water I use on the

Most windsocks I see are solid orange, without stripes. I guess pilots “eyeball” where the bend is?

In Phoenix, CenturyLink's gigabit service has finally arrived in my neighborhood. At $65/mo, no contract, I get fiber right to the house and 1 gig up and down. I was glad to stop paying almost $100/mo for Cox's 300 megab

I have two Saeco Vienna Plus machines. These have what appears to be a pretty decent grinder built in. The machine brews a decent shot, but the electronics are probably not very precise (who knows the temperature, and the brew length is con

I was wondering if anyone would mention these -- they're the best! We sought out the hawker centres, which have a huge variety of amazing foods. The same format was easy to find in Penang as well. You can eat delicious local food with

One of my favorites was "Vorlesungsverzeichnis" (lecture directory/course catalog). Vorlesung = lecture - Lesung = a reading (like a book reading)/lesson - add "Vor" ("before" as in "in front of

So far I think the best value, even better than Costco, is Sam's Club. Bring them frames and they will trace them and measure your PD, then make you a pair of single vision Pentax lenses with AR coating, for less than $40. Add $60 and

I've been playing with Keybase for backups. It's neat because you don't need to deal with any proprietary APIs or scripts (but you do have to install Keybase). The backups are encrypted and can be accessed from another device

I also like the simplicity of SimpleNote, but I'd like something more secure.

Agreed 100%. This is a great way to get into electronics while also getting some coding experience. The Arduino intro kit has lots of great experiments and corresponding lessons. It comes with a breadboard, special wires that press right in

Let us know if you find one. I still have a couple hundred floppy disks with all these games somewhere, and often consider pulling out the whole system. But then I realize I have nothing to connect it to.

I recently got a few pairs of glasses from the most common optical retailer with their best lenses (Ray Ban Rox Plus in sunglasses and BlueIQ in the regular ones). I have a light single vision prescription (about -1.5 sphere and -1 cyl in e

What is stopping us from reverting to the Gros Michel? I wonder if it could be planted in places where the Cavendish now grows.

I read about a program where owners of some Honeywell smart thermostats will be able to authorize their utilities to turn their AC a few degrees warmer during times of unusually high demand, in exchange for some sort of compensation. But th
