1. What do you never trust?
Single sourced news stories or news stories that have several sources but all point to the same original source.
2. What or who do you always trust?
Kevin. The man is genetically incapable of telling a lie.
3. What are some basic mechanics of a car everyone should know?
How to change the oil and change a tire. How to change a taillight or brake light.
4. What is an odd mechanical/DYI skill you have that has become a lifelong superhero skill?
Mechanical, not so much but I am pretty great at fixing the computer stuff and an unabashed expert at the MS Outlook suite of tools. My email and calendar are on a stupendous autopilot that saves me hundreds of hours each year.
5. What are the biggest product scams?
Be careful about any new product that is designed to get you sign up for product refills. That’s how they get you with the recurring monthly fee things.
1. Yelp reviews.
2. The psychic messages sent to me by kitty.
3. How to check the tire pressure, and how to call AAA.
4. I can make a vinaigrette that changes people’s lives–for the better.
5. Manual food chopping implements. They inevitably suck
1) Seafood more than 1000 miles from the water it came from.
2) Nothing I’m jaded.
3) How to change a tire. The rest of it is all becoming high tech enough that it’s probably best left to a skilled professional.
4) None I’m am skilless.
5) The cleanse products. They are a scam and a sham.
