The quick lube oil change places are run by drunkards, meth heads, kid touchers, and lunatics. Do not take your car to get it's oil changed there. Do it yourself or find a mechanic you can trust.

There are pi seconds in a nanocentury, correct to 1 percent. Can't believe how many times I've had to use that.

probably common knowledge but it's a really nice, easy, healthy breakfast in less than 2 mins.

I don't understand all the hate for this recommendation. If it came from a recognized chef like David Chang of Momofuku would it make a difference? That is basically the same as what he did as part of an impromptu demonstration:

-Baked potato's, poke a hole, stick it in the microwave.

-Instant noodles. Throw in leftover meat or crack an egg in it, heat it, put some leafy greens, voila complete meal.
