The forum entry was from May, so the blinds have probably been long gone, but it’s unclear if they ever sold or not. So, what the hell, it’s worth a shot right? The blinds themselves ...

We’re so small. So insignifigant. If anybody needs me I’ll be shooting myself in the face the rest of the day. At least I can rest assured, knowing that Gearfuse is readable on 6 of the 8 planets in our solar system. We’re huge on Uranus. Link

Officially titled the Burj Khalifa, the 160-story record-setter became the center of a real estate explosion, one apartment ...

Is your neighbor one of those dickish pricks who just can’t be outdone during the holiday season. They make the best cookies, they create the coolest nativity scene, they put on the best light show, they just refuse to come in second. This year, beat them at their own game (or at least come in a close second) and save ...
