Oh, and Windex for glass. gently caress streaks. And Magic Erasers are pretty great for weird wall marks and stuff.

And the $100 Hoover Windtunnel vacuum is probably the best sub-$300 vacuum you can buy.

None of that Swiffer bullshit or fancy rear end straining mops. Get a rag mop, reach in there, and wring it out with your hands like your grandmother (or -father I guess) and her grandmother before her.

Get a rag mop, reach in there, and wring it out with your hands like your grandmother (or -father I guess) and her grandmother before her. Took me living on my own for about five years to finally get this. I would buy a fancy-assed self-wringing sponge mop, use it for a few months, and then be utterly unable to find replacement heads. I'd buy a slightly different fancy-assed self-wringing sponge mop, use it for a few months, and then be unable to find replacement heads. I'd give up on mopping for a few months. I'd buy another fancy-assed self-wringing sponge mop... I bought a rag mop. It doesn't take replacement heads, because it's not designed to fall apart after five or six uses. I win, swiffer.

Just in case the thing wears out somehow after being used by your family for 35 years.

Some good deals on TVs here - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3634285 Trying to decide between a 40" or 48" LCD flatscreen. What do you guys think? It'll be for a medium/large room now and possibly small living room in the future. I know 55" is pretty gently caress-off huge but I'm having a hard time gauging the 48" size without seeing it in person. Since it's so thin and doesn't have a huge border a 48" probably wouldn't be TOO bad.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but part two would be the sequel to part one. Part three would be the sequel to part two, and by extension part one. Are you wondering about the nebulous state of maybe it's going to be made and maybe it won't?

So far I've noticed it's with images and with youtube videos and it's really goddamned annoying. I haven't added any extensions or anything recently so I assume it's some sort of moronic update in chrome. How do I turn it off?

I never heard sequel mentioned when people talk about 3 movies, they usually call it a trilogy. I was just wondering about the word sequel. I thought it always pertained to the second movie.

I live in Brussels and private doctors here have an odd desire for cash payments only. They won't accept bank transfers. Once, a surgeon asked me to bring €400 in cash to the hospital on the day I was supposed to check in. I instead cancelled the surgery. Why do they do this?

Sequel just means something that comes after an existing work. So for, say, Harry Potter, each movie after the first is a sequel to the preceding one. "Trilogy" refers to all three of the works as one unit - it's a thing made up of three parts (unless it's the Hitchhiker's trilogy).

This one mentions a degree (any will do?) and a bunch of nebulous qualities and experiences. A good degree would probably be one that gives you opportunities to do projects that reflect the skills businesses are looking for. Like probably a business degree with a specialization in HR.

Curtains can help, as can double- or triple-glazing but if cost if an issue just get some earplugs.

hooah posted:Somewhat over a year ago, my wife and I stopped in the Wyland gallery in Waikiki. While I didn't care for his stuff, there was an artist whose work was being shown in part of the gallery. He used some process to dye metal. I recall most of his stuff being larger swathes of color, vs. something more intricate. We wanted to take a picture of one of his pieces so we could remember it for when we might be able to afford something of his, but were of course rebuffed. I wrote down his name somewhere, but have since lost it. Does anyone have any idea who I'm talking about, or have any way to point me in the right direction? Call the gallery? Here's a list of galleries with contact info: http://www.wylandgalleries.com/gallery_locator You mention Waikiki specifically, but I didn't find one under that name.

I didn't know whether to post this here or in the Godzilla discussion thread. I REALLY want to see it in 3D but I wear glasses (no contacts). I remember a thousand years ago seeing a 3D movie and the glasses were poo poo. Are they better now? Can they be put over a pair of glasses and still work? Gosh I feel so dumb asking this but I'm kind of freaking out. I will technically live seeing the regular version of the movie but still.

I wear glasses, and modern 3D movies work fine. The glasses are large enough to put on over your glasses, and they don't interact in any weird/unexpected ways.

In Firefox, clicking on a link with the scroll wheel opens the link in a new tab. How do I get it to stay on the current tab when doing that? When I use my personal computer and scroll-click, it opens a new tab but the page I'm viewing stays the same. On my work computer, clicking a link with the scroll wheel switches me over to that tab. It annoys me, I want to stay on the current tab. Right clicking and "open link in new tab" does the same thing, switches me to the new tab. How do I just get it to open the link in a new tab up top but not switch to that tab?

As per Thanks Internet's post there may be a way to do it natively, but really Tab Mix Plus is the first extension I install on any Firefox installation, it lets you do what you're asking and so much more, can tweak tab behavior in so many ways. Want search results from using the search bar to open in a new foreground tab but every other link to open in a new background tab? Easy. Want to reorder the way tabs open (this is a necessity for me -- I want most recently opened tab to open closest to my current tab, pushing other tabs to the right)? No problem. Can change colors on tabs based on events (read vs. unread, auto-refreshing tabs, etc can all have their own color / font scheme). Great, great extension.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:My Firefox does both of these without any extensions. Maybe they've changed it, Firefox's behavior used to be different. Let's say I'm on a tab and I open 3 links from that tab, A B and C with A being the first of those three opened and C being the last. It used to be that they'd appear [original tab] [A] [B] [C] [Other Random Tab] (iirc) and Chrome would open [original tab] [Other random tab] [A] [B] [C] (this might have been the default FF order too, don't remember). Whereas I insist on [original tab] [C] [B] [A] [Other Random Tab]. Again, they may have changed it so that this is how it works now. And all that said, Tab Mix Plus has lots of other options. Let's say you want search bar to overwrite your current foreground tab with the search results but every other tab opening link to open in a separate tab, or refresh a tab with a double click on the tab. All kinds of handy features.
