    Remote Car Starters

    I had one in a Ford Focus. It was a Code Alarm brand installed before I bought the car. I really liked the remote start aspect on cold mornings provided I set the HVAC controls properly the night before. But the alarm part of the system sucked. It didn't play well with the dimming dome light and...

    Using regular Clorox bleach, and a lot of it, is how the manual says to do the monthly "Clean" cycle on our Kenmore front loader. Maybe different brands have different specs. I dunno.i

    Quality home appliances

    I bought a Toastmaster toaster at an Estate Sale a few years ago. It's a Toastmaster from the early 60s, a time when 'Made in the USA' meant it was the very best quality. We were just starting to import things like radios from Japan and their quality was suspect. Nothing was coming from China...

    Is he licensed? If yes, you can get in touch with the State License Board. They'll straighten him out.

    Ventless is easiest, you probably know, but they have some sophisticated electronics in them to keep them from killing you and those components are built in China by the lowest bidder. I wouldn't install one.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Nah, it's not just you. I see it on every forum I frequent. That's why I think it might be some auto-complete feature or something similar. It grates. I love English.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This grammar error rustles my jimmies. I don't know if it's some feature of the device people are using to post with or laziness or some new edgy way to write, but is it so fucking hard to add the two little words "to be" to the sentence? There, I said it. I feel a little better and I hope...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I didn't think it would work either, but it does and so I bought a desk model in "avocado" at an estate sale. It works also. I was using Quest and now I use Vonage. I bought a little device that you hold up to the mouthpiece. It has a keypad and it sounds the corresponding tones when you...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I put one in my kitchen, the wall mounted kind. Ergonomically, it is still the best with a real speaker for your ear and a real microphone to speak into and a real handle between the two. Very comfortable and it sounds good. Pressing "1" for English is a problem.

    I'm a shitty rider. Sure, I've taken the courses, read the books; hell I even practice things like panic stops and swerving. Technically, I'm good. Practically, I suck because speed, acceleration and deceleration make me high and the euphoria makes me dangerous to myself if not others. So when...

    Wooden cutting boards are breeding grounds for all sorts of nasty shit, not to mention the cross-contamination that occurs by using the same board to cut everything. Use plastic. You can buy lots of them and sterilize them in the dishwasher.

    Before you do any cutting, get a roll of painter's plastic and seal that room off. Cover doorways, walls windows, in fact, cover everything with a layer of plastic. You're going to make a lot of very fine dust and you need to confine it. Get a respirator, too, not just one of those paper mask...

    For the same reason we have HOV lanes; to encourage people to stop causing gridlock by riding one-up in a car. Put 2 or 3 people in a car and you get to go to the front of the line in the HOV lane. Buy a bike and create less pollution and congestion per person, and you can go to the front of the...
