Pay per view internet porn > buying porn on DVD

Post therapy life > pre therapy life

MP3 player > discman

Predictive text messaging > non-predictive text messaging

Watching stuff on DVD from Lovefilm.com/on the iplayer/on TV demand services > never watching TV because having to schedule my life to suit the TV channels sucked

Listening to hours and hours of radio 1 a day on the iPlayer > listening to about 45 minutes of Radio 1 a day whilst commuting

It has a lot of different qualities I like - the most important one is probably that the size and shape make it a lot easier to see how much salt you’re adding (I rarely measure things when cooking, so that’s a pretty big selling point).

Also, since the texture is coarser, it’s much easier to pinch than table salt and clings to the surface of food better. Plus the taste is slightly more “pure”, so to speak, since the salt is not iodized.

Yeah, can’t say enough good things about my kosher salt. :slight_smile:

I’m surprised no one else has said this. It’s the first thing that popped into my head.

Mozilla Firefox with Adblock --> Any browser with no Adblock.

When Chrome came out I, like everyone else, played around with it a bit, and the one impression that stayed with me was, “Good Lord, there’s ads everywhere.”

If a browser doesn’t have some kind of ad-shushing technology, I’m not going to use it.

Selling textbooks on Amazon ~ selling back to the bookstore for a pittance. You can’t sell every textbook for more on Amazon, but it pays to check.

Thick, inky crema-topped espresso – any other variant of coffee
Italian burr coffee grinder – Krups coffee grinder
Ultra-firm quality mattress – cheapo mattresses
100% cotton high thread count sheets – polyester blend bargain sheets
Labello German lip balm – Chapstick
Tomatoes canned in San Marzano, Italy – Hunt’s canned tomatoes

Huh. Seeing a definite European trend in my tastes here.

I use a hand-crank burr grinder that I’ve had for years. No more propellerd for me. :slight_smile:
Shhh. Don’t tell everybody about the tomatoes, which are often better than fresh supermarket tomatoes. Make that “always” better. San Maranzo can only grow so many.

Diva cup–> tampons
Cloth pads --> Kotex
Henna --> chemical hair dye
raw milk --> pasturized

BitTorrent--------[Insert Media Type Here]

Meijer (a big grocery / superstore for those who don’t have them) just started it less than a month ago, and only in one trial location…the one near me! It is still in the early stages but I love it. They better not ever take it away from me. I just go online and place my order, then I stop by the store on my way home from work the next day. Call from the parking lot in one of the reserved spots, and they bring everything to my car. Awesome. They are supposed to roll out more locations and services later.

Women —> Men.

Cats…Dogs

Cats are cool :cool: , but they don’t piss all over themselves when you come home.

Amen brother. If someone designs an undergarment that keeps the boys in place without chafing they deserve whatever millions of dollars for the patent.

I grew up with tighty-whiteys…boxer shorts I have never understood. But once you go boxer-briefs, there’s no going back. Period.

Commando? Kramer’s out there and lovin’ it!

Yeah, well, Kramer’s weirdness is well-documented.:dubious:

I do wish people would quit referring to free balling “going commando”. It sounds silly, and is getting very tiresome.
Besides, going commando involves Vaseline. I doubt that most go that far.
Peace,
mangeorge, who’s been sans undies since he was hippified in the 60s. Surprises the occasional medical professional, but beyond that, no problem.

Women’s boxers … women’s briefs

The undies I have on now hit me about mid thigh. They prevent chafing. Specifically, they don’t have elastic around the leg holes, and during the summer, I frequently get chafing or heat rash there when I wear briefs. They aren’t the sexiest undies around, but I do have some undies that I put on just so my husband can take them off.
