When building websites, it’s inevitable that you’ll end up with a bunch of unused CSS as you make changes to the site. To remove unused CSS, you can use Sublime Text’s Get CSS Classes function to first find used CSS. Then, remove all CSS definitions that aren’t in that list.
Open the HTML source in Sublime Text
Click Edit > Tag > Get CSS Classes (this copies the used CSS classes to the clipboard)
Paste the used CSS classes in a new file and sort alphabetically
Go through each CSS definition and remove the ones not in the list of used CSS classes

Roasting turkey or chicken can often lead to very dry meat. The secret to getting most, tender, juice chicken or turkey meat is by smothering it in mayonnaise or plain yogurt.
Ingredients
1 (12- to 14-pound) whole turkey, thawed, neck and giblets removed
1-1/2 cups of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage leaves, plus extra whole leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves, plus extra whole stems of leaves
2 tablespoons minced rosemary, plus extra whole sprigs
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano, plus extra whole sprigs
2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 stalks celery, rough chopped
1 large onion, rough chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cubed
2 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Place turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
Tie the turkey legs together with twine and tuck the wings underneath.
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, minced sage, thyme, rosemary and oregano.
Rub mayonnaise and herb mixture all over the outside of the turkey.
Season the turkey with salt and pepper.
Place celery and onion inside the turkey cavity and drop extra pieces in the bottom of the roasting pan.
Place the cubed butter inside of the turkey cavity. Insert the additional whole herbs into the turkey cavity.
Pour two cups of chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan. Continue to add broth or water as the turkey is roasting if pan becomes dry.
Roast the turkey for one hour. Reduce the oven heat to 350F and continue roasting, uncovered, until internal thermometer reaches 165F. Cover legs and breasts with foil halfway through the cooking process if the turkey begins getting too brown.
Remove the turkey from the oven. Cover loosely with foil and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
If you need to mop a large floor to just remove dust, then consider the Casabella Spin Mop. There are many spin mops on the market but this one not only spin dries the mop to remove excess water before each mopping, it also spin rinses the mop to remove dirt.

If, on the other hand, you need to mop a small area that has stuck-on dirt, like in a kitchen or bathroom, then the Bissel Steam Clean mop would do you well. The steam from the mop will melt dirt so it can be mopped away.
Oven windows can get really dirty with baked-on grease. This makes it really hard to clean. Instead of manually scrubbing and wasting your time and energy, I found that using a steamer works pretty well. I use the Bissel Steamer.
You will it with water, wait for it to heat up, attach the hard bristle brush attachment, then pull the trigger to release steam as your gently melt and scrub the grease off.
The steam, which is really hot, will detach the dry grease from the glass but you’ll still need to remove the grease off the glass. For that, I use Clorox or Lyson disinfectant wipes. In general, these wipes are great for cleaning glass.
Now, when I make roasted tomatoes and turn on the oven light, I can actually see through the window again 🙂
I have some fairy lights used to light up some lanterns at home.
The lights are battery powered. I’m using rechargeable batteries but it’s still a hassle replace the batteries when they die. I decided to replace the batteries with a DC power supply which I can just plug in to an ordinary electrical outlet. I could then use a smart outlet to programmatically turn on the lights whenever I want.
To convert the batteries to use a DC power supply, here’s what I did.
Since the lights take 3 AA (1.5V) batteries, the total voltage I need the DC power supply to provide is 4.5 V. I an AC (120V) to DC (5V) power supply on Amazon with barrel to wire connector adapter for $9.
1/2″ diameter round wood dowel from Home Depot (3 ft for ~ $3)
Speaker wire
I cut the wood dowel to the length of a AA battery. Drill a hole in one end. Partially screwed in a screw. Stripped the end off of a bit of speaker wire. Wound up the end of the wire around screw and screwed the screw in.
I then identified the positive and negative terminals in the battery pack and inserted my fake batteries in them. The wires from each fake battery were then connected to the corresponding positive and negative terminals to the DC power supply. Everything works.
I need to install an electric fireplace but I’m not sure if the circuit can handle the load with other devices on. Here’s an explanation of device load, electrical wiring and circuit breakers.
In a typical residential home, you’ll have two types of circuits:
15A (amp) circuit using 14 gauge (thin) electrical wire (usually white) connected to a 15A circuit breaker. Based on the formula P (watt) = V (volts) x i (current), the max wattage this circuit can handle before tripping the circuit breaker is 120 V x 15 A = 1800 W. This circuit is usually used for general lighting.
20A (amp) circuit using 12 gauge (thick) electrical wire (usually yellow) connected to a 20A circuit breaker. This circuit can support a total load of 120V x 20A = 2400 W. This circuit is usually used for kitchen devices.
You can’t just replace a 15A circuit breaker with a 20A one since the wires going into the 15A circuit breaker are likely 14 gauge (thin) wires. If these wires carry a load greater than 1500 watts, the wire can burn, catch on fire, and burn the house down. When installing new circuits, just always use 12 gauge wiring even if connected to a 15 amp circuit breakers.
In the example above, I have these devices
electric fireplace (1500 W)
LG OLED 65″ TV (150 W)
2 x LED lamps (2 x 15 W = 30 W)
Total power consumption = 1500 W + 150 W + 30 W = 1680 W. Since this is less than 1800 W (the max wattage for a 15 A circuit), I should be okay, although it would be preferable to put the fireplace on a 20A circuit.
