What tools do i need for home remodal?
Choose a cordless tool brand that all uses the same battery so that when one runs out you can just grab any battery and get back on the job. If you're cutting old lumber you've taken out of your house, you want a circular saw blade made for cutting wood with nails in it. If you're doing... -

Cringe worthy series
The 100. If anyone does an "Everything Wrong with The 100" video it would have to be five minutes less than the runtime of the entire series. Only worth watching if you like great costumes, sets, props, that the show invented a full language with several dialects, and other things it done did... -

Things STILL made today worth buying
There's a guy in the UK who dug an underground bunker (not Colin Furze) and it working on burying part of a 737 fuselage as an addition. While digging, he found a buried one foot diameter, steel well pipe. It had been fitted with a wooden cap. IIRC he measured it to be at least 60 feet to the... -

Fisher Space Pen
You can customize that pen by cutting a length of plastic drinking straw to slide inside so it shows through the slots. Have to get the right diameter of straw so it fits snugly to the inside of the barrel.- Galane

Be careful and stay frosty
I've had a card number stolen twice. The first time one guy in California used it to open an online gambling account but spent zero and some woman used it to buy an Experian credit report on herself. Um, RED FLAG, Experian? Who uses a card *not in their own name* to pay for a credit report on...- Galane

Cars, Man
The Chaparral 2F was also a very neat looking car. Closed cab, gullwing door version of the 2E. Aurora's late 60's and early 1970's electric race track sets came with a 2F and a Ford J3 as the pack-in cars. I had an XLerators slotless set. Of course they made the bodies to pretty close 1/64... -

Should maryjuanna be legal for non medical reasons?
Urine, blood, and saliva tests for breakdown products from marijuana smoking can be positive for 24 hours to several days, long after the person is no longer mentally affected by the last joint or bowl they smoked. What should be the standard for intoxication testing is a test that detects... -

Limited-release Coin -- 250K "Declaration of Independence" quarters
US population was 215.9 million in 1975. Over 1975-1976 the dual dated bicentennial quarter production was over 1.69 billion. Apply some math and that's... a lot of quarters per American. That's why it's still very likely you'll get one in change 50 years later. I suspect this special minting...
