Not sure if this is a tip or not, but I present: The Perfect PB&J [i.imgur.com] #tips
If you ever need to clean a particularly nasty or crudded-up microwave, first nuke a bowl of hot water for three minutes. It'll steam up the microwave and dislodge stubborn stains/food bits for easier wipedown.

@Coedy: Really? I use Tasker constantly (and have a good dozen or so profiles and tasks set up) and haven't noticed any battery drain. Even before I installed JuiceDefender, I could get a good eight or nine hours of moderate use out of a full charge (with JD it's closer to twenty).
@stre: Why someone have to ask if it's okay to do something that's expected behavior? Does the tall guy seated in front of me at a play turn around and ask if it's okay if he's obstructing my view? Hasn't happened once. And I almost always get stuck behind some tall guy obstructing my view.

Like I said elsewhere in the thread, different parts of life suck for differently-sized people. Tall people get shafted in planes and tiny cars. Short people get shafted at concerts and plays and when having to reach tall shelves. Super skinny people get shafted when clothes shopping. The list goes on. But just because your size makes a situation bad for you doesn't give you the right to purposely inconvenience someone else over it. You either find a way around the issue (without ruining it for someone else) or you suck it up and deal.

I don't bring a booster seat to the theater. Why should you be allowed to use a seatjammer on a plane?
Or you can use Tasker and save yourself fourteen bucks.

The fact that DAVE FROM TITUS is the Big Bad pretty much says all there is to be said about this movie.


@Name of Numbers: I wanna know what airline you fly that charges ten times the price of a seat for an exit row.

And it absolutely is an option if you're quick enough on the draw. And if it's that important to you, you make the effort.

Bottom line is, different parts of life suck for people of different sizes. I'm 5'8". You think I like getting stuck behind a 6'2" dude at a concert? Hell no. So what do I do? I show up early. And if I can't show up early, I suck it up and make the best of the situation. I don't go bringing a ladder and screwing it up for the guy behind me.
@keaolyen: Leaning back gives you room inasmuch as it makes it easier to stretch your legs out and get them out of the way of someone's seatback. It's not a LOT, but it's something.

You're absolutely right. Flying sucks for tall people. Just like going to concerts sucks for short people who can't see over you tall people. But does that give them the right to bring a ladder with them and block other peoples' views just for their own benefit?
@DaveChandler: I can see it being used as a last resort if forced to deal with an inconsiderate jagoff who refuses to listen to your polite requests and the stewardess is unable to reseat you. But that's not the vibe I get from most of the rest of the thread.
@logician1: What about morbidly obese people who have to pay for two entire seats at their own expense? Or short people who have to buy a stepladder to change their lightbulbs just because they're 5'8" and not 6'5"?

I'm not saying it's an ideal situation, but why should the person in front of you be forced to sit in an uncomfortable position just because you had the genetic crapshoot of being tall/large. You have no more right to inconvenience the traveler in front of you than I have right to force my tall neighbor to change my lightbulbs for me.
@WinduSucks: Seriously? You're honestly comparing reclining your seat (which is practically a necessity when flying) to driving like an asshole? This is the comparison you draw?
@stre: Just so we're on the same page here, a dick move is when you PURPOSELY do something to inconvenience another person. Reclining your seat because sitting upright is uncomfortable? NOT a dick move. Reclining your seat because you know it'll bug the guy behind you? THAT's a dick move. As is forcing the person in front of you to not be able to recline by locking the joints of the seat.

If you're unfortunately stuck in an uncomfortable position of being crushed by a recliner, TALK TO HIM. Tap him on the shoulder and say "Excuse me, but would you mind not reclining? It hurts my knees." Don't just passive-aggressively dick him over because YOU don't want him to use his chair in the manner for which it was designed.
That's what happens when you get in the way of the tee, Pain.
This was Jurassic Bark levels of depressing. Thanks for ruining my Friday, amazing indie short.
The lack of any mention of DUCKMAN is simply inexcusable. The brilliant series ended on a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers; we discover that Duckman's wife, dead since the 70-episode series began and the driving force behind so much of his behavior (and so many of the plotlines) is in fact (DUN DUN DUNNN) still alive. Which we find this out when she shows up to his wedding. And oh yeah, it turns out Duckman's faithful sidekick and erstwhile Man Friday, Cornfed, knew all along.

Now there's a cliffhanger.
@jupiterthunder: You're reading it wrong. He was saying that Kevin's jean size is on a different planet than your (general, as in "your basic") dress size.
@pojken: Agreed. While I can feel for oversized people who don't wanna get crushed, they always have the option of exit rows or front rows. Stopping the guy in front of you from reclining his seat is a dick move in the biggest way.
It's not free, but I find Photogene infinitely more robust and capable than PS Express could ever hope to be.

Also, when did Jesus visit House Atreides?
@SAThorn: Yeah, I'd just rather have something native that didn't require conversion. I'm impatient that way.
