  • I have a '97 Honda Prelude Type SH. For the 5th generation, only about 60,000 USDM Preludes were made. The Type SH was more expensive. There was also no automatic option for the Type SH, and since manuals were already dying in the 90s, I’d guess that they didn’t even sell more than a few thousand of them.

    It’s a little rough. One of these days, I’m gonna dump a few thousand bucks into it and make it beautiful. But we’re working on our house and some other things first. Someone put a bunch of those bluish LEDs all over the thing. I deconverted it back to soft white halogens.




























  • I said/did/wrote (in my personal journal) so much cringe shit as a teen. I am GLAD it’s not out there on permanent record. I got my Facebook account when I was like 17. Well after all the other kids my age did (I’m 31 now). I stopped using it by 23. I usually just made witty quips about life in general on Facebook, never aired my dirty laundry or spilled my guts or called a girl a bitch for not wanting to go out with me. I did go through a tough breakup during this time in my life, but the most I ever did was quote Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You.”

    Facebook being problematic for kids is nothing new, but now many adults are intimately aware of how bad it is because we were those kids.

    I really feel for kids these days.



  • I’ll echo everyone else and say vinegar for sure. A gallon of vinegar is a few bucks at worst.

    Anymore, though, I buy distilled water for my coffee maker. It eliminates the possibility of scale. I use 750 mL when I make my coffee and a gallon of distilled isn’t even a dollar. It’s still a good idea to run some vinegar and water through it every once in a while because vinegar kills mold.

    Here are some other vinegar uses for those who don’t have much use for vinegar:

    Vinegar Tips

    Put a small amount (like 15-30 mL, depending on size) of vinegar in when you wash your laundry. It’ll help keep mold in the washing machine down and eliminate odors. It won’t make your clothes smell like vinegar either.

    If you need buttermilk in a pinch, but don’t have any, mix 15 mL vinegar with 225 mL of regular milk and let sit for 10 minutes, and you’ll have something very close to buttermilk. I use this in my cornbread and waffles.

    If you’re removing wallpaper, spray some vinegar mixed with water on the wallpaper. It’ll soak through and break down the adhesive. The wallpaper will detach much more easily and in larger pieces.

    Very useful stuff to have around.




  • Same. I’m terrible at flossing. I have my tonsils and my wisdom teeth. Reaching toward the back is a major pain for me and that’s why I decided to try water flossing. It’s so much easier for me to do every day. I just brush and floss each night after I shower. Flossing makes a much bigger impact on bad breath than most people realize. I just started flossing regularly about four months ago, and I’ve had a dentist appointment in between. For the first time in my 31 years, getting flossed at the dentist did not leave me a bloody, painful mess. It felt nice.

    I mentioned that I have my tonsils because I get tonsil stones. While I probably should talk to an ENT about tonsillectomy, I live in America. What I can recommend, if you get them and you can’t or don’t want to go through surgery, is to set your water flosser to the absolute gentlest setting, and aim that jet at your tonsils every once in a while. Obviously, you don’t want to make them bleed. But if you’ve ever spit out a tonsil stone, take a whiff. That may actually explain a lot. The fuckers smell absolutely rancid. My dentist tells me even a small one once every 4-6 weeks is abnormal.

    Best of luck, bud. I hope this helps.
