The Car Repairs You Can (Seriously) Do Yourself, Despite Your Abilities
Replacing belts is not something you just swap, at least on newer cars. On only cars, like early 80s or older, it was feasible. With cars from that era there was often a lot of room within the engine bay.

Did you realize that knowing just 4 wild edible plants could one day save your life?

What's a Private BitTorrent Tracker, and Why Should I Use One?
Private trackers are my primary source for all content. I've staffed at private trackers before, though I don't really have as much free time for that as I used to anymore.

I've used various versions of Windows for years, Linux in various flavours for another few years, and OS X for about 2-3 years total. I'm now a convert to OS X (though proudly not part of the cult of Mac — I enjoy the OS, I don't want Jobs' offspring) for general desktop use, switching to Windows for gaming. I find app quality is generally significantly higher on OS X than Windows (and certainly Linux). Do note the word "generally" — some of this stuff is cross-platform and in some cases Windows offers something better! The drawback of this is that most of it costs a couple of bucks, but that's a small price to pay if you're using your computer for various tasks daily. The UNIX core and bash are very important to me.
Wild Plants Used for Medicine and Food
Learning wild plants used for medicine, food, and tools is also known as the study of ethnobotany (how people utilize plants).

Terminology, Syntax, & Introduction - A Beginners Guide to HTML & CSS
Before beginning our journey to learn HTML and CSS it is important to understand the differences between the two languages, their syntax, and some common terminology.
