Keeps it warm for 12 hours, has a delayed start setting. It also plays Happy Birthday when your rice is done and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when you start.

This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-ZCC10-Cooker-Warmer-Premium/dp/B00007J5U7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1290883743&sr=1-1  Just reminded me, it has a battery, so I've never seen its clock reset, and it's been unplugged for a few weeks at a time before in its 5ish years of service.

Juriko posted:The hinge is the weakest part of pretty much any laptop, and a major failing point across the board. Having seen how the average person handles their laptop hinge failure is the least surprising thing on earth. My 2004 Sony VAIO hinge finally failed a few months ago, after being thrown/kicked on the floor multiple times throughout the years(sometimes hardwood!). It really was a great laptop in the end! The battery didn't even go out until late 2009! On the flip side, I had a friend with almost the exact same model and he was having trouble with it just a year or two after getting it.

$149.99 for virus removal... I think $99 for OS install... those 2 things are enough to make me hate Geek Squad. Oh yeah and the $99+ backup that only backs up pics and mp3s, oh yeah baby. I think your GS Certified was "GS Optimized" or whatever they call charging $40 to remove the preinstalled BS programs and to make sure your $1k+ product actually works.

Kitsy posted:I need a recommendation for a really good deep moisturizing hand/foot lotion for someone who lives in a godforsakenly cold place, spends a lot of time working with plants and hands in water (so something thick that will really soak in) and doesn't smell too froo froo, because it's for a guy. I don't mind splurging, but I would prefer to be able to get it from a local store- I live in a decently sized city, so most chains that appear in the southeastern US are available to me. Soul Owner by Philosophy is the best foot cream ever: http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Owner-Exfoliating-Cream-Ounce/dp/B000OIBUZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1291729488&sr=1-1 Plus, it's pretty neutral to even slightly manly(eucalyptus) in the smell department. Sorry, no recommendations for hand cream, I just use a decent quality hand lotion like Aveeno or whatever as needed.

DrBouvenstein posted:The reason that set is so cheap is because it's the lovely line of Wusthof knives. While still better than a $10 Wal-Mart knife, they are pretty bad compared to good quality knives. Get the 'Classic' or 'Grand Prix' line from Wustof. Maybe I just don't do hardcore enough cooking, but combined with a wetstone and regular maintenance, my original Gourmets from like 8 years ago are still holding up fine and cut just as fine as some of the mixed in Grand Prixs and Classics. The one bad thing about the Gourmets is they had stickers, and some fell off. Although I have to admit my favorite is my giant rear end Classic bread cutter, but I bet the Gourmet wouldn't be much worse, but I did want to avoid having the serrated points bend after time so I chose the safer option just in case. Who knows though? Maybe their Gourmets have gone down in quality over the years.

I always thought making sure to wash your hair with just slightly hot water is one of the best dandruff remedies; coupled with only doing a light drying of the hair w/ towel. Otherwise, the really hot water will just dry your scalp out by taking away your oils amongst other things.

Catkin posted:Can someone recommend a good HEPA air filter that costs less than $100? I'm allergic to dust and I live in an old-rear end house with two cockatiels and a boatload of cats, so there's dust galore. If it has a a washable/reusable filter, bonus points. Honeywell hht-149. If you have any friends at Best Buy, the margin is pretty high, you can snag one for a little over $100 and it's totally worth the extra few bucks. Permanent HEPA filter, extra filters, can do a fairly large room 5x an hour, even has a UV light to help kill extra microbes.

pigdog posted:Those "shiny and healthy" "natural oils" are actually really loving gross for everybody around you. I had the same retarded idea at middle school :facepalm: My hair actually looks worse if I shampoo and condition daily. My hair is thin enough I suppose, that merely rinsing it out with warm water gets rid of any excess oils or whatnot. I shampoo and condition maybe once a week or two, although when working especially dirty and sweaty jobs, this probably does go up to daily. My hair never feels greasy, feels more like cashmere. It's the curse and the gift of having thin hair, besides the sun bleaching my hair really easily.

Seconding Oral B, I have the Triumph Professional Care 9000. Mine isn't as new and fancy with a pressure sensor, but it does a great job and has multiple heads, although I definitely prefer the one that's circular with 4 special yellow plastic/rubber pieces to get more in between teeth.. I've used the Sonicare and it just didn't seem to do as well in the same 3 minutes.

Etrips posted:Go to a doctor. Get a prescription for a nasal steroid. I was recently having the same problems as you, nasal passage would close up, couldn't breathe quite right. And whenever I would go lay down to sleep, it would get significantly worse. I was also using the nasal decongestant the whole time unknowingly to me, that it was making it worse. So if you're using a nasal decongestant, stop immediately. That stuff is absolutely terrible for you. Don't be hating on my Pseudoephedrine!

Red Baron posted:I have a really dusty room, and I want to reduce the amount of it just floating around and potentially being all up in my laptop and such. What are my options? I try to dust with swiffers or whatever pretty frequently, but we have a lot of cats and carpet so even though I keep my doors shut I still get some driftage from that I feel like. Vacuum daily? Brush the cats outside every other day? Paint the room? Air purifier would help too.

Criminal Minded posted:Any suggestions for carpet steamers? $150 tops, please. For that price maybe you should just rent a Rug Doctor from your local grocery store. Online at their site you can get a $5 coupon for the unit and $3 off the cleaning product, which makes it like a $15 deal and you get to use it for 24 hours. If you do steam more than twice a year, perhaps you should consider breaking your $150 limit and go with whatever expensive option a goon could recommend.

Intern Dan posted:Don't do this, they're universally terrible and won't do a decent job. You're probably better off hiring a service at the price point, or I don't know, maybe it's because the carpet was new, but the Rug Doctor got out all the dog urine stains and smells at my gf's place. Of course, they were blotted up immediately upon being seen and lightly cleaned to begin with. I suppose it is pretty weak with deep stains on older carpets though.

Dudebro posted:Is there a better liquid hand soap dispenser system than the standard container with the pump? Those always leave a bit at the bottom. My ghetto solution is to put just a teeny bit of water in and shake it up, that'll get you the 2 or 3 pumps of the "pure soap" out of the tube and you'll have some pumps left of the "crappy" soap that works just as well.

NarwhalParty posted:You have to meet certain criteria for the Invisalign. If you happen to get metal braces, I wouldn't recommend getting clear or white rubber band colors. They end up staining and making your mouth look gross. I got lucky because I used the rubber bands like once or twice and then just didn't use them and somehow I still came out corrected in the overbite department. Regular ones do kind of suck because you stand a good chance at getting calcium stains. Get a permanent bottom retainer if you can! It saved my rear end from losing all the work the braces had done because I sucked at keeping my top retainer in, but the bottom one kept the top teeth relatively stable. Thing's still in my mouth too, 20 years later... good orthodontist I guess!
