For many a change in posture will fix a lot of their problems. Most folks have their chairs to high and their keyboard to low. That and arm rests make a huge difference.

My inlaw is a craft show seller (she makes things and sells them at shows/conventions) and she had terrible carpal tunnel and only just got a computer. I say this to demonstrate that it is a complicated enough issue that just changing to a funky keyboard might not fix your issues.

Also, if you are having these issues at work many workplaces will pay for ergonomic equipment if you make a stink. At the State of Illinois all the engineers, in my building, had "vertical" mice, because they were all starting to have issues.

Meat, fruit, veggies.

Would the "not-wheat" flours do well in the freezer? (e.g. coconut or almond)

Bacon stays in the fridge (never have it long enough for it to go bad).

The Brother printers in this form factor do really well. The larger ones sometimes have print quality issues.

But having an "inkjet photo printer" for pinting black and white isn't always bad. We have many of the hp officejet 8500 and 8600 series that print ~25 ppm and we get atleast 2000 pages per cartridge (did i mention this was a multifunction?). Also, we just bought a half dozen new 8600s for $150 from staples.

Mark Sisson's blog Marksdailyapple.com has had some great posts about doing a Primal/Paleo thanksgiving, so most everything is gluten intolerant/celiac complaint.

Here is an example.
If you ever want to find good gluten-free/celiac compliant recipes, and are not getting great results just searching with those keywords paleo/primal can greatly broaden the results.

Many of the images on their site show these outside. Unless you cover these in some pretty serious marine finish they are gonna bow and be destroyed in a year. Plywood gets water in it's ends and goes bad pretty quick. If you did a real good thick paint job and added some caulk and trim you could make these last longer.

If it's going to have toppings, like icing, then I like cakey as long as it's not dry.

Great "icing" for any kind of brownie is chocolate chip cheese ball. Google it it is super good (only cheese is cream cheese).

I used the Diy jackhammer style headphones about 2 weeks ago on a plane trip to Florida. The trick was that when i made mine I used nicer/more expensive folding ear protectors made for shooting. They are about the size as the Bose ones, and they fold up.

Before it was common to find the soda in these sorts of containers one could buy a plastic container that mimicked this style.

My issue is that i never have that many of the same thing to justify having this.

Diy Jackhammer Headphones are my headphone of choice. Do about as good a job of noise "cancelling" (isolating in this case) as these for about 1/4 the cost.

Pile in closet floor with minimal chair next to it for things that can be worn again. For kiddos a plastic hamper in the closet.

I've never separated laundry, and haven't run into anything I've bought in the last 15 years that has run. Maybe I'm doing something magic but just never was an issue.

Umm ? Door knob? That is much dirtier than a toilet seat. Also, there is a huge difference between a public toilet and a private toilet.

Many of these are also true for cats.

Also, related. Dogs can eat cat food but cats shouldn't eat dog food. Cats require almost no carbohydrates in their diet, where dogs bodies work on a higher level of carbohydrates. So if a cat eats dog food it will gain a huge amount of weight quickly.

I'd probably put a piece of plywood over the bottom and connect it it many places and then connect the casters to that. The edge metal isn't made to take the stress, and these kinds of cabinets bend very easily.

Also, the first one has mitered joints on the corners instead of butted joints.

"Did you see Sheila's remodel?"
"Yes it looked wonderful! Well except for those shabby old spring style door stops!"
"I know let's never be friends with her again!"

After the first semester I bought all my books online (CS major for reference) and the cost difference for the dead tree was not that much more compared to an ipad. And even then I'd have to buy the device and then buy the books that aren't going to be much of a discount over the print books.

Also, pirating books on the major platforms right now isn't very hard. Just FYI.

The term "projection screen tvs" in it's use here is a misnomer. That term is commonly applied to the a fully enclosed rear projection set.
Usually consisting of a large box containing a projector pointed at a mirror and folding the image onto a large rear projection screen.

It is not a big deal in this context as other than the title and the opening paragraph you refer to projectors specifically, but in most other contexts the term would be misinterpreted.
