The old trick was to bind fire to both mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down, then just spin it up and down quickly. Worked great in GoldSrc (Half-Life 1 engine) games, though it might be harder today, where most games will only let you bind a command to two buttons max, if you're lucky.

I feel like this needs to be in black and white, with the hand fumbling with the mouse until it falls on the floor.

Is it bad that my first response to this isn't "This is what I should look for when I suspect someone is lying," but rather "This is what I should try to avoid doing when I'm lying"?

Ugh. Personally, I could never understand these resampling techniques; all of them look like a blurry mess to me. Just give me straight 2x or 3x upscaling, thanks.

Awesome tip I learned for cleaning the caulking around the tub: mix bleach and baking soda until you get kind of a thick paste, then just apply with a disposable paint brush, or even a toothbrush if that's all you have. Let it sit for a while, rinse off the dried baking soda, and all that mold and mildew should be…

I'm trying to do one photo every day this year (although I don't know if I'll last more than a month or two; it's mostly just as an experiment), and since I'm not going to carry my DSLR or film camera with me everywhere I go every day, it's basically come down to me using my old Galaxy Nexus together with the VSCO Cam…

I remember hearing about this one a while back, but I haven't used it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Missed a golden opportunity to make a "one weird trick" article title. Shameful.

This isn't always correct, though. Suppose you were trying to make a point about which way to put toilet paper on the roll, and your sentence went something like: "And that, is why over is better than under!" The comma after "that" doesn't belong, but people put it there because they pause there while speaking.

It's kind of a tricky business doing this sort of thing for mechanical keyboards. Now that they're becoming more widespread, we're getting more models with various features packed into them (backlit keys, macro keys, media controls, etc.). But traditionally, a lot of them have been very minimalistic in their design.…

It does come in a US layout, and in fact that's the one I have. I was trying to grab a quick picture at work and didn't see a US layout at a good angle that showed off the function layer.

You can nitpick about the semantics of the term, but a mechanical keyboard refers to something that uses discrete mechanical switches for each key instead of a plastic membrane spread out across the entire surface, like Cherry MX switches or ALPS switches. Topre switches sort of straddle the line between mechanical…

Not mechanical.

Class of 2010. :) I made sure to pick up another alumni license plate frame the next time I visited.

Best not to drive in front of a truck, either. I was driving along the 5 in California headed north about a year and a half ago, and there was construction, so the freeway was down to one lane. Even though we had already merged into the lane over a mile ago, for some reason traffic very suddenly came to a stop. I…

I was using one of these for a while, but had problems with mine. Mine would keep dripping, so even after draining the tea into my cup and shaking it around a bit to try and get all the drops, I'd set the Ingenuitea down, and a few minutes later, there would be a small puddle underneath it. I don't have any nice…

Yeah, I kinda figured this is one of those things that any guy just naturally picks up on—and it's same idea behind angling a glass when pouring a beer to avoid a ton of head. Just make sure you never confuse that with this.
