It attaches to the float mechanism, so it's pretty easy to install. Only about 15 minutes, and the results are so worth it.

It would be worth it even if you had to pay a plumber to install it. Now that I've lived with one, I'd pay $200 to have one installed.

I'm not a big fan either (a few exceptions), but this is definitely his best performance. He's The Duke all the way, but it is a character that he nearly invented, so he's perfect in it.

This is the new business paradigm. They no longer care about offering a quality customer experience. Now it's all about extracting as much profit, while serving up as little as possible in exchange. The satisfaction of the customer is irrelevant.

And grooming. Teen girls are going to accept grooming from an older glamorous woman mentor than some creepy old guy who is obviously trying to get in their pants.

When my mom got her first smartphone, she had such a hard time with buttons. She would either poke at the quickly and tentatively (she thought she'd get a shock), or push really hard. She finally figured it out, but it took far too long.

They Might Be Giants probably wrote more than one.

Another really great, and highly underrated film about the end of the Old West, is The Shootist.

It's John Wayne's last movie, and it serves as a metaphor for his acting career. He plays a legendary, but aging, dying gunfighter who is determined to go down shooting, and other gunfighters come to town to test him. It also features late performances by Lauren Bacall and Jimmy Stewart, and an early film performance by Ron Howard.

A truly great, quiet film, that most people have never heard of.

Yeah, I remember seeing it titled A New Hope, and asking "When did that happen? That wasn't there from the start, right? I couldn't have missed that."

Turns out I was right, it was some later interpolation. Lucas doesn't know to leave well enough alone.

Nah, I'm good. Their advice has always been more about how I should live my life to please them. They would never give me advice that would improve MY life, only theirs.

Bidet. $30 game changer. Don't ask questions, just hook it up (it's easy), and try it.

You're welcome.

Right, the new ones are so overbuilt it takes a lot of the thrill out of them. Nobody else in my family will go on them, and they always try to talk me out of them, saying I'll have a heart attack. They don't understand that I don't get scared on them, at least not any more.

In the old days, you had those wooden coasters, and while you were standing in line, you'd see it come around the curve, and it would creak and sway, and looked like it was going to come apart any second. THOSE were scary.
