    I'd agree with you for everything except glassware. Sine the place I'm renting for work at the moment doesn't have a dishwasher, I had to go grab some more conventional soft sponges to be able to get down effectively into some drinking glasses. Other than that, grab that scrub daddy though the...

    Put me on team pro-pizza cutter and that's it' not a unitasker. We can put it in the specialty category of knives (like serrated bread knives) and call it a revolving knife or a circular knife. I'm also a big fan of small battery powered screwdrivers. I've got a little 3.6v metabo with a 1/4...

    I also wonder if he's one of those guys that just wants to always be challenged? Not that Red Bull isn't always working on improving their cars, but the pressure of Ferrari and not just having an almighty car might help drive him to be even better.

    Acreage tips from the Fanatics

    Until the condo building itself needs serious maintenance / upgrades and no one wants to pay for it. Next thing you know there's mold everywhere or maybe your rooftop swimming pool ends up in the basement.

    ***2024 NFL Draft***

    I'm really intrigued by this. If you sit down and listen to the entire interview, Bill gets rolling and definitely provides some insights into how things actually are. I think it'll be interesting to see the other side of Belichick come out. There's a fairly dry sense of humor in there, I think...

    A security camera system that fires paintballs

    Yeah, **** those little kids on their bicycles that turn around in my driveway! Also, Good way of guaranteeing you never get a packaged deliver to your place ever again.

    Taylor Swift - Tortured Poets Department

    You as well? I mean what does Travis Kelce have that I don't? I mean besides the height, athleticism, skill, NFL career, money, fame, a non-receding hairline and being like 5 years younger than me, we're the same person!

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    Wow. Never heard that (granted, couple of years after I left). Doesn't really surprise me. That place was a dump when I lived there and that only the second year that it had been open. I still have no idea how any of those apartments met modern building codes. I remember one night we had some...

    Renting CY For a Kids Bday Party???

    That might be expensive. Plus, do you really have parking for 7 busses and two equipment trucks? You probably could get a portion band (not in uniform) for a couple of cases of beer though.

    Like the others have said, It's a couple of things, one of them is just pure talent. Just like Jordan, Tiger, Brady, there are some guys who are simply just flat out better than other people. There are a bunch of other factors (dedication, environment, work ethic, etc), but at the end of the...

    For the Middle East's next trick, we will finally test if F1 cars can actually drive on the ceiling by installing the first 360 loop and a barrel roll for a track set to open in 2030...

    ***2024 NFL Season***

    NFLPA Ratings Interesting to see the results of the NFLPA players rating their teams poll. Did not expect to see the chiefs get rated that low. Wonder if there is mild anger that they've got a high level team that doesn't get extra rewards (one of the articles said that there was criticism for...

    New Orleans

    Yep. Don't be stupid. One of my coworkers and her two male friends got mugged (one of the guys got lightly pistol whipped) because as dumb, drunk interns, they willingly got into some guys car who offered to give them a ride for cash. I mean, that's basically asking to get robbed.

    New Orleans

    I lived in New Orleans (Okay, Harahan/Elmwood to be specific), for 5 years ('08-'13). Wasn't much of a party person (I think I went out on Bourbon Street only a couple times) but general thoughts/reccomednations: 1. With regards to crime: NOLA is as safe or dangerous as you choose to make it...

    I think Red Bull and Verstappen should have their car setup determined by a random number generator for each race this year. See how good they really are. Or maybe just let Ferrari do their strategy.

    Washington DC Family Vaca

    Couple of things that stand out for me from the two trips I took to DC (one when I was in 8th grade, and the other was maybe my junior year of HS, and I'm pushing 40 for context). Both were relatively short trips (like 2-3 days and .5-0.75 days) 1. The Korean War and FDR memorials were cool at...

    Random Power Tool Help

    McMaster McMaster Carr has something that might work as well. It's cheap, but you'll probably pay more shipping. I'd be willing to bet there is something at Menards that'll work. I've also had really good luck with Ace Hardware having off fasteners and one off parts as opposed to the bigger...

    That is one thing I don't miss about being on the east coast. 9 PM tips were brutal when you get up at 5:00 AM.
