Clipping threads in sewing

If you have a pair of haircutting scissors...which I highly recommend owning anyway, if you have to do any hair cutting or trimming at all...these work great for clipping threads when you're sewing.
Of course you can't use them to cut fabrics or anything else that would dull the blades. But nothing makes a nicer, sharper thread-end that's easy to put into the needle.
 
Isuzu Trooper Battery Draining Mysteriously

I drove one of these before...the battery would drain overnight, for seemingly no reason. The battery was not loose. Changing the battery did not help. Driving the car did not help. Every morning, the thing would need a jump.
Finally, and I do not remember how this came up...I figured out that everything need to be turned off at night. The radio, the heater, etc., all of those things needed to be turned off.
Once I did this...routinely, manually turn the radio, etc. off at night...the car started like any other car in the morning.
