    Not bad, it's although it looks like they're not selling the batteries along with it. I'm slightly leery of a solution that series's batteries together, but at least it's a big brand. If you already had a bunch of dewalt tools and 20v xr batteries, I'd say it's a no brainer. I wouldn't trust...

    Job Hunting

    Some companies have zero respect for your time. I had one company that actually had multiple phone screens with HR recruiters. Then, after getting through that bullshit and a couple of video interviews, they wanted to set up on-site interviews (at the same location) 3 different days. I'm not...

    I've used this stuff in the past - was during summer and mostly to repel a red squirrel though.

    Depends on how they scheme him up. I think he's a bit washed and has started to become a liability when in coverage, but he's still serviceable against the run. I'm glad the Lions didn't re-sign him. At least he's a good sport about the Analzone thing..

    I could see them giving it to Walker based on the fact he's got over 100 yards and it's not like Myers has had some really difficult long kicks. Plus, I'm sure the league would absolutely hate to see a kicker get it.

    I think the only special teams player to ever win it was Desmond Howard. I guess at this point it maybe goes to Walker, but he's definitely not the resounding favorite.

    I assume the hotel towels have just been bleached to all hell by their washing machine or whatever linen service they farm out to. In the beginning, they were that soft too, but over time become the grizzled, chain-smoking veteran that's seen some real shit.

    I've never looked into it that closely, but my understanding is you'd have to pass emissions if under 25 years old, which probably would be a pain in the ass. I'd assume second GCC issue is shipping - are there really any outgoing container ships? I figure the only thing outbound is oil...

    I had that happen a few years ago when I was getting ready to sell my old house. A branch ended up nailing my detached garage. When I went over to inspect it, it was like out of a movie - every 5-10s another branch would come down somewhere in the neighborhood. In retrospect, it was probably...

    Question for the people in the trades that would know: How does that pass an inspection? Does rough framing not get inspected? I could have sworn my deck had 3 - the footings, framing, and then final. I would hope a house would be way more rigorous.
