I like the oyster idea. Whenever I have oysters at home, I always struggle since I do not have the fine ice of a restaurant and my plates just make it a bit difficult. I like this idea. Oysters are one of those things that you can do at home just as well as a restaurant! And, I find shucking them to be kinda fun.

Oyster Shucking Tip: To clean them well, use a metal scouring pad. It gets off a lot of of the sand and grit than anything else I have tried

I used to be the Snooze Master until my room mate told me I needed to stop or he was moving out.

it turns out that the easiest way to break the snoozing habit is to not set the alarm to account for it. Now, I get up to whatever alarm and don't let myself go back to sleep.

I have a Boston but I got her used (aka rescued). Does that make her 2.0?

While it isn't a backup of your backup, rather another line of defense, you can use an online backup provider in addition to your external backup. Plus, if you have data whos primary home is an external drive, many will back that up. I know BackBlaze will as long as you connect it every 30 days or so (I make a calendar reminder to leave my computer on overnight with the drive every once in a while).

Therefore, my primary data that lives on the main drive have three copies while my data on the external, which is likely less important anyway, has two.

@J.BO, I have heard about it not being safe for birds but nothing about other pets. May be worth checking out Google. I ran it and my dog seemed fine.

Also, am I correct that if I run the self-clean and it breaks the oven, that should be covered under the warranty? Of course, that assumed the warranty is still in effect. Personally, I use an oven liner and tend not to have things spill anyway. My old oven had one and the only time I ran it was before I was moving out. My new one doesn't but I am not worried.

I am not saying you shouldn't do it, but, for me at least, I regret it.

It broke a few things for me (mostly command line and scientific computing stuff). I eventually got it all back but it was a pain. And, having been using it since day 1, I have yet to actually use a single new feature other than to play.

To be fair, my 2010 macbook pro won't support AirPlay.

So, if you do not imagine using the new features immediately, and you have some programs/codes you are not 100% sure about, I would wait.

I think streaming is definitely on the way in with physical media on the way out. Sure, there will be bumps as we are in a transition, but that is to be expected. I can imagine people who spend many thousands on top notch systems will probably stick with Blu Ray for a while until technology catches up. But, I also think there is a rather small percentage of people who can legitimately discern the quality differences. Even then, streaming will catch up.

Look at CDs. Sure, you can still buy them and you will be able to for a long time to come, but, you know that the industry is heading in the direction to make them obsolete. There will be holdouts for a while but soon enough, most people will be streaming. I am pretty sure there will always be enough of a niche market for Blu-Ray, just as there is for vinyl, but I am not holding my breath on that being the main-stream for long.

Internet speeds need to catch up and I am sure they will soon (maybe not soon enough but soon never-the-less)

I was there on a Friday afternoon as people were buying for Shabbat so you can imagine it was crowded. I was on the inside part and it started to rain. The river of people was so insane that I couldn't stop moving

I am another vote for peeling them first. Either way your hands will be red at the end, but this way I do not inevitably burn myself and I can go right to eating!

The lasagna with butternut bechemel is very good. I make my own whole wheat pasta for it too, or at least the times I made it and had the time to devote to that
