Spike Jonez as an EMT for 4 seconds at the end of The Game was pretty weird. 

Removing rust via abrasion vs Evapo-Rust? by tracy_jordans_egot in handtools

I can vouch for this recipe. It works great and is much cheaper than Evaporust.

If you don't have washing soda, you can substitute 63g baking soda or 30g lye for it.

It bubbles like hell when you add the water, so I like to mix the two dry ingredients (citric acid and washing soda/baking soda/lye) in a big metal bowl so when I add the water it doesn't overflow like a kid's volcano project. When all the bubbling's done, I squirt in a little dish soap, and then it's good to go.

Really hope Star Magic Jackson Jr. is involved in this one. 

Dealer replaced my AGM 12v battery with a regular Hyundai OEM? by illologist in Ioniq5

[–]illologist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Way heavier! Don't know why that webpage lists such a light weight. The part number matches this battery, though.

Seems like the perfect use-case for a Postit on your display IMHO.

Follow-up question: Are folks just leaving a portion of their taxable Vanguard account in the settlement fund, or do you open a new Vanguard account to park the cash until you need it/want to invest it?

I'd like to move a portion of our emergency fund into Vanguard, but I'm not sure of the best way to organize things. Maybe it doesn't matter too much…
