A few years ago, I had a 2008 Scion xB that was near the end of its life and needed a Virginia state inspection. I took it to one mechanic who told me a headlight housing needed to be replaced for it to pass, and then he said something like “Heh, they sure do make it hard on this car to get to it, so it’s going to be…

It is not just imaginary fish girls that bring out this nonsense in people. Remember this?

I have one of these, and it is wonderful. Highly recommended.

I gotta admit, I thought you were wrong, but I just tried it, and you are absolutely right. I can’t believe I have been buying magic erasers for this job for all these years when I didn’t have to.

I am so glad you have the photo of these sponges being used on an Apple keyboard. They really do work great in that capacity, and can make the keys look good as new.

Thanks, everyone for straightening me out. It is helpful and good to know!

I agree. I am completely open to being wrong, but it seems to me that a manager having these discussions about family matters at work, while compassionate-sounding on the part of the manager, sounds like it might also be illegal.

What do you think the chances are that the next iteration of the XR will have a screen size like the XS Max? I don’t really care about the OLED or better camera, but I do like the bigger screen on the Max.

This is very nice. Well done.

I use Gmail in Chrome on a Mac and I was having a problem where Gmail would just hang forever on the logo screen. What I found was that if I went to Gmail from a bookmark, it would stick like that. However, if I simply went to www.gmail.com, I did not have the problem. 

It may be another plug-in interfering with this one, but when I right-click on an email, I get weirdness at the top of the screen, a whole bunch of overlapping text.

If only they could make a robot that could hang clothes on my treadmill for me. 

Chrome + Gmail + Boomerang + Todoist + Evercontact = Probably as good as it is going to get for me. 

You really should have asked permission before using a photo of me.

I am sure you are correct. I really need to get to the gym. :)

I charge mine every night and it seems like when I do, it still has like 75% of its battery life left.

When it breaks, you have two phones duh.

I just looked up Blessing of a Skinned Knee on Amazon, and it now says “Using timeless teachings,” so I guess they changed the title for later editions. Still good stuff. I will have to check out the B- book.

When I was preparing to become a father, I was given a copy of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children by Wendy Mogel. I cannot say enough good things about it, and I am not even Jewish. The book is a good antidote to the tendency to over-parent. Highly recommended.
