    Tools that have horrible smelling rubbergrips

    Many plastic tool handles are/were made with Cellulose Acetate Butyrate. When that breaks down it produces butyric acid which has the puke smell. This is also the reason the seeds from female ginkgo trees smell awful when they rot on the ground in summer. Rotting butter will produce the same...

    Olight S1 Baton Turbo Mode Issues

    You are correct. It is in HIGH mode where it cuts off after ~20 seconds. Going to see if I can return it.

    Olight S1 Baton Turbo Mode Issues

    Just got one of these from Amazon and I'm pretty disappointed. I can't use turbo mode for more than ~20 seconds without the light shutting off. After that I have to remove the battery to reset it and it will do the same thing. Aside from that I like the light, but this is a deal breaker for...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    4Sevens Atom CR2 version. I have found overwhelmingly that for me what I need is a great wide floody light for using in short distances like under the desk, under the hood, in a dark closet, etc. I still love to go outside and play with my throwy lights, but for everyday use 90% of the time...

    My fungus fighting plan..

    Could you be more specific? Athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, nail fungus, thrush, histoplasmosis???? There are a myriad of human fungal diseases ranging from the unsightly and annoying to the deadly. If this is topical some of the things you mention may work. If it's systemic then you need...

    Foods you love that some people find disgusting

    Natto as well as some of the more aromatic cheeses: Limburger, Camembert, raw milk cheese, etc. When I go to a Japanese place and order Natto they look shocked and try to warn me about it.

    DIY Auto Window Tinting

    My neighbor and I decided it would make sense to go in together on a roll of window tinting since that's far cheaper than having it done or buying a single "kit" for one car. Anyone out there familiar with types, brands or techniques? It seems simple enough but I'm sure there are a few gotcha's...

    WANTED:Your doggie pictures

    Here's my new addition. Reine (Pronounced "rain": French for Queen) my French Bulldog. Having been an English Bulldog owner I can say these dogs are all of the same spunk and personality in a smaller package. The craziest thing she does is kick out her back legs when she gets excited, mad, happy...

    What kind of Vacuum do you use?

    Dyson DC-07 Animal. I've owned Simplicitys and Kirbys which are great machines but when it comes right down to it the best vacuum is the one that I'll use the most. Using the tools on the Dyson is a breeze where as on my Dyson it's like having to do auto repair to kneel down and remove the front...

    Woot 2-For Special on 2/8/2011

    As a die hard Wooter I might have to grab these for the hell of it. Not sure if these are any good but for the price they shold make decent beaters. Anyone have any experience with these? http://www.woot.com/ Lights are from 2/8 so this link will not be current after that date...

    The Big Green Egg......

    You're probably correct about the demo team if they only cooked with the lid open. I'd would however say you might be able to get the Egg to a little higher temp. even with it open as the ceramic is going to "reflect" all that heat back into the grill and up to the cooking grid where a regular...
