According to the research I've done, a good upright freezer is only marginally less efficient than a chest freezer. Seals and insulation are good enough now that it doesn't matter much. Assuming yo...
A lot of portable Air conditioners can also act as dehumidifiers and cost about the same. You can get a dual purpose device that way. The one down side is that the AC units usually have much smalle...
Using the drawing technique you describe is the important part. So long as it's sharp, any knife will do. I hit my 10 year old Santoku with a steel a couple times to be sure it's edge is clean and ...
As a long time "tech guy" I can confirm that this mostly a way to get people to actually go through and unplug / plugin the cables, hopefully reseating a loose connection. While it's possible that ...
Another important thing to note about the SR60's is that they are an "on-ear" design, which means they rest right on your ears when you wear them. Some people can be sensitive to this. I owned a pa...
A common beer that is typically very hoppy is an IPA, or India Pale Ale. Most of these are _too_ hoppy for my taste, though some are quite good and the hops are well balanced with other flavors. My...
I think it also depends on the ratio of the size of the table to size of the fixture. As a tall person, I often hit my head on fixtures when standing up from small tables. Having them high enough t...
I'd like to second and expand upon what Expat said above. Just because something is _old_ doesn't mean it's _historic_. Trying to wrap this blanket definition around anything that is more than X ye...
Just another "seconded" here. Legislation is no substitute for education; children must be taught social responsibility, not have their responsibility to be human taken from them by futile attempts...
There's no quick fix for stubborn splinters. Nothing I've found works more consistently than a sterilized needle (not a pin! they are too dull) some good pointy tweezers, a bright light, and patience.
My method for dealing with this is to create a reasonable variety of things and let the chips fall where they may. If someone is just "picky" and doesn't have any physiological or philosophical bac...
The limited write cycles is more or less a non-issue on modern devices. The write-cycle life of even "cheap" SSDs is now long enough that virtually no normal user is likely to run into it. More inf...
Odd. I commented earlier on this mentioning something along the line that perhaps ol' Al should figure out how to get by with fewer than 600 watts of displays in his office. That comment seems to h...
Maybe he should figure out how to get by with fewer monitors, that would probably help global warming a lot. Those look like Apple Cinema displays, probably 23", maybe 30". Then there's the TV on t...

No such thing as an appropriate TV for a bedroom, especially a child's.
