Having a kerosene range in the kitchen would finally make a gas range seem as it it is an improvement in cooking technology.

I just upgraded four Win 7 computers to Win 10 due to a compatibility issue forced by an update to our CRM software. I just Googled the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and it went through easily and without cost. I have to say I do really dislike the look of the GUI of Win 10, but otherwise it is...

The Hobart one is WAY cooler! I always loved that handwheel on the side to alter the grind. It reminds me of the aftermarket handwheel we have on the quill of manual mill. So much better then a lever or spokes like on a drill press.

For sale on Facebook Marketplace in Minneapolis for $125. Luckily I don’t have the space or I’d have to buy it!

Chinese products trying to capture some of the panache of a legacy American brand. We have seen similar from RCA, Zenith, Crosley, Magnavox and others. Typically these products sell at big box retailers and they will have zero service after the same or parts availability. Buy em, hope they work...

I think the novels are in a different section!

Library's aren't just for books anymore. Neat concept! https://www.delish.com/food-news/a28831984/philadelphia-library-baking-pans-check-out/

Aren't tumble dryers awesome?

I've been using T-Mobile since 2 carriers before they were named T-Mobile and I have been personally very pleased, I wouldn't consider another carrier at this point. My plan has a 2gb monthly data cap, but as I have WiFi setup up most everywhere I spend any time I never come remotely close to...

Mark, you could run the hose to the outdoors or upstairs, if you are flushing under full pressure the added altitude is no matter. It is nice to observe the flow though to see if it is running clear. I sometimes stick the end of the hose into a quart Mason jar in the sink to better show the...

Year old washer has failed So what was the failure? Have you considered service?? Replacing a year old washer seems ludicrous to me. More information is really needed, like what model is it. Were you happy with it while it was working etc? Hard to make any recommendations based on so little to...

I never "drain" my water heater but I do flush it at least yearly. I turn mine to pilot only then do a couple loads of laundry to use up the hot water. Then I attach a short garden hose to the drain valve and affix the other end of the hose to the laundry tub. Open the drain valve full wide open...

Can you show a load of dirty dishes before and after? I loved the wording of this comment, it implies that the dishes will be dirty both before and after ;)

You could probably etch it more to try to get it to at least look uniform. If you have a large enough pan you can submerse it in you could soak it in a dilute lye solution to etch it. The finish would be more matt in appearance then original, but it may get more uniform with an all over etch...

Consumer 3D printing that uses filament based FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) will make parts with pretty lousy surface finish as the part is basically squirted out by something like a hot glue gun. There is also a variability in overall strength due to the fusing of the material, tends to be...

Persil liquid forms heavy suds with my artificially softened water. I have to dose carefully as a result. I never liked any of the Persil liquids as much as I liked their "Pearls" dry product as a result.

If it's not packed to survive a drop from about 4 feet onto concrete in any attitude, it isn't adequately packed and it is the shippers fault. I remain unconvinced that any shipper is any better or worse than any other. When I managed the retail astronomy store I worked at we received thousands...

I'd second the heat pump water heater. Pay for themselves in energy saved and you get a free dehumidifier/AC to boot. I've considered adding one in addition to my gas water heater just to run in the Summer to cool and dry the basement. Be sure to install shut off valves on both the cold and hot...

A machine crying out to wash a GoPro and a flashlight! If the lens of the camera isn't too dirty it may even come clean ;)

The best part what when she mentioned that with knowledge like this we might better maximize our water and energy efficiency. Life always improves with understanding! The word for the day was worth a few minute dig too :)
