    Recommend me a wristwatch

    I'd recommend: Seiko Black Monster Automatic Dive Watch or Seiko Orange Monster Automatic Dive Watch The Seiko Diver's 200 Meter SKX779 Chunky, dive watch at 43mm case size, with a hefty, oyster-like bracelet. They're different from your current collection. Orange Monster if you want...

    I love the outside part of the Ribeye. What's it called?

    It's called the cap (or ribeye cap, or spinalis dorsi).

    OMG my damn home button is messed up!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, works for me. Have to re-do it every now and then. You might even hear a click. The contacts or something on the button and board get loose. I figured I had nothing to lose since the thing hardly worked. Wasn't gentle at all. New phone hopefully in the next month or so.

    OMG my damn home button is messed up!!!!!!!!

    What works for me is sticking in the cord into the bottom of the phone and pushing up on it from underneath, essentially pushing the board up to the home button. If you're in a pinch, you can even stick a credit card in and underneath. I found this tip somewhere while Googling a fix. The...

    Alarm clock with iDevice dock

    I got this one:Yamaha TSX-70BG Desktop Audio System for iPod/iPhone (Beige) It's expensive but I like it a lot. Smallish footprint, good audio quality for the size, decent sized amber display (not ridiculously bright at night), AM/FM radio, remote control for iPod, sleek retro look.

    Protecting a wristwatch face?

    I'd just use a product called Polywatch to polish the plastic crystal every now and then. A brushed stainless steel band can be "polished" with a Scotchbrite pad.

    Question for Fantasy Baseball Players

    Yep, it's strategy. I've done something similar and was accused of being cheap/cheating by someone new to the league. It's how the game is played.

    Premade Pesto vs making it yourself from a packet

    Ugh. That seems like making Tang and calling it orange juice.

    OMG Five Guys Burgers coming to Canada

    I can't wait to try Five Guys again. They have one here in the San Diego area but its on a Naval base. They're supposed to open up another off base, it's still "coming soon!". It's a good burger. Like others, my first impression was that it tasted homemade. The selection of additional...

    Yes! And another: Pretenders - Precious. Original lineup Chrissie Hynde kicked serious ass.

    cooks, need your advise: All Clad or Calphalon

    I'd get the All-Clad and as already advised, expand the set as needed.

    Screen Protectors for iPhone

    Add another vote for the PS crystal film. I used to use the PS anti-glare film. Its advantages were obviously the anti-glare and it hid fingerprints well, but it wasn't as pretty and it seemed like the sensitivity wasn't as good. Eventually, I thought about going without a screen protector but...

    Aluminum bluetooth keyboard keys same as MacBook keys?

    Does anyone know if the Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard keys are the same as the white MacBook keys? I'm thinking of buying a replacement key from eBay at this link: Text Thanks.

    Help me find a flashlight

    My job requires me to take readings and inspections in dark and low-light conditions. Even though the low setting is low lumens, it's still very good since it focuses the light well and the light is very white and provides high contrast. The high setting is very impressive. My co-workers have...

    Help me find a flashlight

    I lost my first E1B and ended up buying it again. My job requires a good light, plus they supply the batteries. The battery life at the high setting isn't so great, but I preferred it because of its small size.

    Question about Alias

    Well yeah, she's a spy and wears disguises. And people are always after her, so she's always running. I watched the entire series when it was airing and I don't really remember if it was a recurring thing in every episode. But anyway, the red wig in the pilot was in tribute to "Run, Lola...

    Watch NFL playoffs or work

    If it's something you really enjoy, take the time off. Personally, if my team wasn't in the playoffs, I wouldn't bother and probably just take off the day of the Superbowl.

    Help recommend a credit card

    I was going to apply for WaMu's regular credit card in October as suggested by a representative at my local branch a few months before once I had my secured credit card for 6 months or so, but then I kinda forgot about it and kept putting it off since I knew I had a few months before I'd have to...

    Thanks. Good info to know. I also didn't know Fatwallet had a finance forum. I'll check that out too. And thanks everyone, I knew I'd get some good responses here.

    Should L.T. play with a detached tendon?

    Yeah, pretty much for the same reason you listed above. There's no doubt that they'd keep showing him on the sideline and then show the clip of him sitting on the bench last year too. Even if he's not 100%, he'd still be a threat that the Colts would have to account for. Plus, Sproles seems...

    Help recommend a credit card

    Yeah, I was thinking Chase Freedom since it just seemed logical since they're the ones taking over WaMu and from what I've read, it seems easy to be approved for. And yeah, right now, I'm probably going to be carrying only one card. And once my credit is a bit more established, I'd...

    Help recommend a credit card

    I only have a WaMu secured credit card (1st and and only card) with a limit of $600. I've used it pretty much anywhere I can and pay off the full balance every month. I had my first out of college, full-time real paying job since March and got this card in May--so I've only had credit for 8...

    What does this shirt say?

    Cool, thanks. I did some Googling on Chinese Rock and I saw some connections...The Ramones > Sid Vicious > Chrissie Hynde. That's probably it. Thanks!

    Beer Brats, How to make?

    I'm really surprised there wasn't butter in her recipe. The way I've seen 'em done at Packers tailgates is just about how everyone is describing except that there's butter with the beer and onion mixture.

    Kitchen knife fans: what to start with?

    Forschner are great value, bang for buck, knives. If you like Wusthof, then I'd say stick with it. They're expensive, but they're a good investment and should last a while if properly taken care of. A good knife will make your cooking more fun, efficient, and safe. You'll probably save some...

    Possible to solve with geometry or other method?

    Hmmm...were you assuming my graphic was to scale? If you were, sorry, it's not and I maybe should've told you beforehand...I just made it up real fast in a paint program. Edit: And really...no need to stress over this...it's not homework! :D

    Possible to solve with geometry or other method?

    I'm not doubting your methods to reach your answer, but according to real pictures of the area, side B appears to be way off: Diagramed Graphic Actual Before Actual After I think what's wrong is that the points 396, 402, 411, and 400 aren't exact and most likely approximations... because...
