I would recommend taking the blade in to be sharpened at a hardware store or a machine shop. You could do it yourself but it usually only costs a few bucks and the time you spend sharpening a chainsaw blade is worth more than a few bucks. What I found that works for me is to actually own a couple of blades, have one… Read more

Buy STIHL, if you want a saw or any other outdoor power equipment buy STIHL. Read more

When I was in the 101st Airborne back in the day, and we were deployed to Desert Storm, I remember driving our Humvees (Absolutely no one in the 101st called them "Hummers", ever. "Humvee", "Jeep", or "Gun Jeep", yes) down to Florida to put them on boats to the Middle East, and at all hours day or night, there were… Read more

I thought Hurt Locker was a really great movie about what it's like to be a conflict journalist - sort of a meditation on adrenaline addiction. The war parts were notoriously inaccurate, which brought it in for criticism from the veteran community (not that we are or should be considered the best source of criticism… Read more

I used to play with a guy who would constantly lose money (which is the only reason we let him play), but would constantly stomp around like Phil Hellmouth and complain about… Read more

Most importantly don't let anyone tell you what to do at the table unless it's a dealer or poker room manager. The amount of rookies I've seen bullied into chopping is insane. Read more

"The only time you're allowed to slide your bet in piecemeal is when you've said out loud how much you're going to bet or raise."

Yes, thank you. I highly recommend people do this. One of the more annoying things at the table, even among people who know most etiquette listed here, is when someone is going to make a bet… Read more

My girlfriend and I are going through kind of a rough patch, and oddly enough, this made me feel better. Maybe it's just feeding my schadenfreude, but thank you. Read more

Albert doesn't condense his recipes to printable form. I'm not complaining - this is HIS column. However, I was prompted to write it out for my Pepperplate recipes. You're welcome. Read more
