I have this power hog sitting around from many years ago. Was going to put a bunch of videos on it and keep it powered off until I need to access them (VR180 video at around 8K resolution). Then I was thinking, maybe it makes more sense to move those drives to my main desktop by adding a PCIe...

I read enough about pot roast that I am confident enough to make them. So far so good but there are some common senses that are not so common to me and I would like to ask for the experts here. 1) Why do we sear with olive oil before braising when the smoke point is so low, why not use the...

There is a very well designed window AC I want to install in my house to assist the undersized central AC. This way we can create our own 2 zone AC as well as varying the load to improve cooling efficiency and comfort. The house is 2/F with 1500 sqft and a tall living room ceiling so the actual...

Some of us are at the age of hair loss I think. I'm getting there and am looking into Finasteride and Minoxidil, like those from hims with lots of ads online. I'm sure there are many other generic brands with their own Rx in house to prescribe. What do you guys take and who do you buy from? how...

Let's say you have one vehicle you want to own between you and your adult family member (brother, sister, dad, mom, in-law, etc). It is not an expensive vehicle (say $10k) nor with sentimental value, you just don't use it all the time and neither person want to own it 100% and have to lend to...

So, there's some decision I'm making regarding to housing choices that involves kids after divorce. While I have no control over the ex in what she wants to fight for, there's some game theory choices to choose from and there are both pros and cons in each of them: 1) If we both fight for the...

I am looking at what to wear in Fairbanks in Dec if going dog sledding, and what I cannot buy for cheap I might rent instead. Basically what I understand so far is layering, and don't bunch up too tight. https://blacksprucedogsledding.com/how-to-dress/cold-weather/ Pants: long johns /...

Family of 3 going to Fairbank to hopefully see aurora right before Xmas for 4 days. I hope the sky will be clear but if not, at least not a storm. Will stay near the Poker Flat observatory area and booked an AirBnB with insurance, but the flight cost $2200 and the Allianz insurance with full...

I have some heavy double curtains so over 18 years they sort of ripped through the drywall. It was not just a plastic anchor but those metal spring bracket from the back ripping an entire chunk of sheetrock / drywall out. Eventually I'll patch it but right now I want to ask you wise guys here...

Let's say deep frying is not going to happen (I know it is good, I just don't want to deep fry something that big). Let's also say you don't cut your turkey and roast / bake the breast and legs separately. You are most likely going to baste it with butter under the skin / on the breast, and tent...

So, I have a 6 or 7 year old foam mattress that is 10" thick, king size, in OK condition, that I can either give away for free / near free, or split in 2 and use it to replace a slightly more worn out twin mattress. If I were to replace the slightly more worn out twin mattress of equivalent it...

Basically, they are taking more risk, and they are unlikely to have large lawsuits that would bankrupt the companies. In the end they will have more test data and by trial and error they will be ahead.

Not exactly the "vodka sauce" with cream, just trying to use vodka to extra tomato's flavor without using wine (not able to finish a bottle before it goes bad, no space in the fridge, neutral flavor, etc). So I'm wondering, between the cheap $6 Trader Joe to those $15 better stuff, does it make...

Flying out tonight and will be in the Big Apple for 5 days. First time for the kids and I haven't been there for 30 years. So I'm gathering some ideas on what do see and where to eat, etc. 1) World Trade Center Observatory and Museum 2) Broadway Show: Aladdin 3) MoMa 4) Natural History Museum...

Say I have a Prius V with 105k miles now, 40mpg, 2014, and it is serving my family very well. In theory it should not have any major repair cost other than a possible head gasket between 130-190k miles (6-10k depends on whether it punch a hole through the block or just a leaky gasket), and a...

This question is probably only for those of us who are into VR, not sure how many of them are on BITOG but anyways. Had my Oculus Go for 5 years and I think it was the best $120 I have ever spent. No I don't really play games with it but I have been using it as a personal projector for web...

This is strictly an educational question from me. Say, I'm an investor who has a VERY LONG horizon (i.e. 30-50 years) and typically hold onto stock that I have confidence in due to my own domain knowledge (in Tech stock), and most of my 401k / IRA are in S&P500 ETF like Vangard. Recently I am...
