I think they should run a couple of text ads to monetize it, because I don\u2019t want them to stop. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheap mobile home<\/strong><br \/>\nFor generations hipsters have been retro-fitting vans into mobile homes. Once they were VW vans; today they are Dodge Sprinter vans. The best source I\u2019ve come across for tutorials on how to remodel a used cargo van into a roaming house is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCFuyCsMOEkJ27lHZ-AT9TmA\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel by Dylan Maga<\/a>. Maga collects diverse videos of hundreds of regular folks building their vans and tiny homes in great and satisfying detail. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Youtube shortcuts<\/strong><br \/>\nI can\u2019t believe I didn\u2019t know these Youtube shortcuts before! To pause a video press K. To fast forward press L. To rewind press J. To watch frame by frame forward or backward, press the period or comma key. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garage parking aid<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s probably a simple DIY substitute for the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f8EieT\" target=\"_blank\">AccuPark Vehicle Parking Aid<\/a>, but I was happy to pay $11 for it. I adhered this yellow plastic mini speed bump to the garage floor using the attached double-side tape. We can now drive our electric car right up to the optimum spot to plug in the charger port. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swedish funny<\/strong><br \/>\nDeep in the basement of Netflix is a very funny Swedish movie called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dvd.netflix.com\/Movie\/80024079\" target=\"_blank\">The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.<\/a>\u201d Subtitled in English, I found the humor translated well into American. It\u2019s sort of a Swedish version of Forrest Gump meets Mr. Bean. This big hit in Sweden was playing on Netflix streaming but now is on Netflix DVD only. However, last year they made a sequel that is almost as good, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80106337\" target=\"_blank\">The 101-Year-Old Man Who Skipped Out on the Bill and Disappeared<\/a>,\u201d and this one is currently streaming on Netflix. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laundry organizer<\/strong><br \/>\nMy husband and I bought these\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jBtwiI\" target=\"_blank\">mesh bags<\/a>\u00a0to organize our laundry. We use black sharpie to write washing instructions on them like \u201cno fabric softener, dryer ok\u201d or \u201ccold wash, hang dry.\u201d This has cleared up a lot of confusion. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/recomendo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get the Recomendo weekly newsletter<\/a>\u00a0a week early by email.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 61<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29644"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29644"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29646,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29644\/revisions\/29646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
