I didn't figure out where the image came from, but I had fun playing with Google's new(-ish) image search feature in the attempt.
- open Google in a new window
- click on "images"
- drag the image into the search bar
- cool!
Cool! Now, is there a way to make it stop reminding me EVERY DAMN TIME I DELETE A SHORTCUT that I'm only deleting a shortcut?
For heavy duty grease (like if you've been working on a car or other machinery) use dish soap or Orange Gojo (with the pumice.) Rub it all over your hands *before* you get them wet. Then rinse.
About a year and a half ago, I started seriously looking for a new truck. I had a pre-approved loan from my bank and a considerable down-payment saved up. I did a lot of research and found out what was a reasonable price for the truck I wanted. I was prepared for sleazy salesmen, high-pressure selling, tricky negotiating techniques, all that stuff. What I was *not* prepared for was the almost total apathy I encountered at half the Toyota dealerships in the DFW area. I couldn't find anybody who seemed very interested in selling me anything.

I think part of the problem was the whole cash-for-clunkers thing: everybody had lost their damn minds and weren't even trying to get good deals. So When I walked in with my binder full of research, I was ignored.

Finally, this past winter, I found a dealer in Fort Worth who actually wanted to do business. He let me drive a few trucks, gave me some great prices, and that was pretty much that. Called him back the next day and said "let's do it."

I guess my point is, if you find you're not happy with the way the negotiations are going, there's always another dealership. Somebody out there is going to be hungry for your business, and will treat you right.
Tell them you haven't decided yet. As far as they know, you might be thinking of giving it to someone, or selling it yourself, or donating it to a charity.

Or you can just flat-out tell them you don't think it's in your best interest to divulge that information at that point in the game - that card isn't on the table yet (if ever). That's pretty honest.
You could also go to your local theatrical supplier and get some lighting gel sheet(s). Rosco is one brand; Lee is another. Look for their medium or neutral grays.

You can also get a bazillion different colors and diffusion materials.

Dear gadget and/or multitool makers of the world:

Enough with the bottle openers already. I have plenty. I don't ever use them, because 95% of the bottles I encounter have twist-off caps. And in the unlikely event I end up with a bottle that needs one and I don't have one on me, there are other ways to open the bottle. Use the space for something cooler, like maybe more screwdriver bits or something.

Thanks.

The drying-off ear flapping part was definitely the highlight of the video.
It's true. And the best thing is, it doesn't even need a guidance system. Just wrap it in steel, and Bob's yer uncle!
OR.... That's where the Martains have their underground laboratory, and have been testing their magnet ray. Kidnapping our missions to their planet is just the first step in the grand invasion plan...
Don't forget, it's a television show, with editing and stuff. They're only showing you the most entertaining clips.
All the more reason to hack them up and put them to better use!
Why in the hell some one would like to comment on a post on Gizmodo! And then what!! Hello! Aren't people juste FUCKED UP! -Hey! i was on the internets! -So what! Get a life!
@Kenny Lankford: We used to call them "mouse tables." GMTA!
@kobiashi001: That made me laugh more than it should have. :-D
@Tornadoes28: That's kind of the whole point of camoflauge, isn't it?
@lemke ☠☠☠: I know! I'm 6'-2", and cringed the whole time I was watching the video. That dude's knees never opened up past 90 degrees.

Plus, it looked like he was riding on his balls. :-D
@scoobydoo: She looks pretty damn hot for an any year old. :-D
@deepen03: My new Tacoma has one in the tail gate. It's pretty cool! The screen is a tiny little thing embedded in the rear view mirror.

edit: Forgot to mention that it's definitely not top-of-the-line. Somewhere near the middle, maybe...
