Internet Brain: How to Fight Distraction & Focus Your Mind


This is something someone should force my brother to watch

It was a place people bring their unwanted used items and leave them to be sold. This set had never been used, it could have been a wedding gift for someone who didn't realize its value; and the lady at the store didn't know its value either. I didn't know it, and if it wasn't selling I'd say no one else did either. It just looks weird and kind of ugly by the handles; but the part you eat off of looks beautiful! It is high gloss and really fine stainless at that end, and that is what caught my eye.

Yeah, it was most def a good deal. And who buys place settings for 20? But I'm kind of glad there are that many. This way - if he wants to; my son can sell half of them and still have enough for his own use (or sell them all and buy a regular set of flatware at WallyWorld, )

No the set is priced at $2000, but is worth $20. Because that's all anyone would pay for it.

However, as mALX points out Manufacturer's Recommended Price may be used when valuing for insurance or loan purposes, so that's the way to use it.

MALX, what a wonderfully practical set of flatware! Each person can put a knife, fork and spoon on a dogtag neckchain and never be without. And if you ever get into financial trouble, you can sell off some of it for cash.

Oooh, good idea! I'll list them on his homeowners, then leave them out and hope someone steals them!

Or you might get unlucky and someone will contribute more!

AHA! I knew there had to be some practical purpose for the holes in the handles! The new fad in jewelry, a fork around your neck! Especially useful if your mother has tied a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you, you can beat the rascally dog to the meat!

Just came back after firing up the motorbike. Even though it´s a couple months left before taking it out for a ride, I just wanted to let it know it hasn´t been forgotten...

Just firing it up can be bad for it. If you don't let the whole system (especially the exhaust) get up to normal working temperature, you can get condensation rusting out the pipes. And that usually means some time on the road to give it a proper work-out, as there's no load if you're just stationary.

Yes, as motorized vehicles are inherently female; best not to ever let them feel neglected...












What Ghastley is saying here is to close up the garage and run the bike in neutral for 30 minutes, "rev"ing it frequently ... er ... NOT !!!!!

I do let it become hot in order to let moisture vaporize and to let the oil and cooling circle around thoroughly. Maybe around ten minutes or so on idle with the occasional rev. Better than not doing it in any case as I found out. One winter I didn´t bother and I ended up with a clogged up carburetor due to the gasoline vaporizing and leaving behind a crystilline smudge. Not fun


Should I have brought flowers?

A box of candy can of oil is better than flowers, she may be allergic!

Let's play a game. We'll start off easy. You have to name an object (inanimate, no fruit or plants) starting with the letter B

Book
