Respectfully, not quite. Just this past week I sent an email in which multiple people were copied (including some who were originally in the list and had been removed by one participant who didn’t want certain others to see their reply), and identified at the end of my direct response that particular person (using the…

No, Milhouse. No.

I understand and respect if she and others don’t want to talk about it, but I can’t agree that no one benefits from their silence. Personally, as a passive fan of Garlin’s work in various media, I’ve found it difficult to parse out the nature of this conflict, and if it constitutes reason to boycott any future…

That description is so confused and wrong.

This is among the best and most informative writing I’ve seen on Lifehacker or any similar outlet, bar none. Thank you.

The fact it isn’t “the worst thing” does not disqualify cautionary discussion. Elsewhere you’ll find gold-plated HDMI 1.4 cables for $100. Should I refrain from warning someone against buying those scam cables because smoking causes cancer?

The best popcorn is made with coconut oil. Maybe the popcorn people are suggesting is based on a flavor association, like the rum was for you.

Most of these solutions do involve some amount of rubbing, which, incidentally, is what it’s meant for (go figure). I keep a bottle of 91% in my office because I often disassemble small electronics for repair, and it’s perfect for this due to its ability to cut almost any grime, and the fact it evaporates quickly so…

I patronize neither, but AngryBob-VA seemed to be drawing the comparison between the article’s reference to an historical association with $2 bills and sex workers to his modern patronage of strippers using $1 bills. I was just pointing out that such a comparison was of the apples to oranges variety.

Stripper and prostitute are different vocations...

Maybe they differ by region. At every Aldi I’ve been to, the cashier has an empty cart at the ready and immediately starts slinging your checkout items into it. When they’re done and you’ve paid, you take that cart and they replace it with the now empty cart you were previously using. Then you can take that cart over…

Actually, you don’t get your quarter back; you get a different one. A fine distinction, sure, but I once almost used a bicentennial I had in my wallet (I collect them; I know they aren’t worth anything really). I realized just before putting it in the cart that I wouldn’t be getting back the same quarter, and had to…

I’ve never heard of this product, but the tagline makes me feel targeted. I scratch, I smell, and I don’t clean really well. And that should be okay!

You say this like Jalopnik is a language, and I love it.

There’s your problem. You should only use bottled water heated to exactly 97°F. I mean, if you care about your car and aren’t a monster, of course.

I’ve heard them touted as the natural successor to Harmony, but hadn’t researched the specifics yet. I worried I was hanging too many hopes on them, but what you’ve found is definitely heartening. Thanks for sussing out those details! I hope they can stand the test of time because I think I’ll be needing to make the…

Your comment confused me because I thought it was directed at the author of this article, but I think you’re responding to other commenters. Is that right? I didn’t read this article as minimizing critics of Rowling, but maybe it’s been edited since you wrote this comment. I’ve had that happen on this website before;…

Yeah, I’ve got one of those Logitech. Well, three, actually. I used to use it when I had an HTPC connected to the TV (which later evolved into a Plex server). But even then, I was desperately in pursuit of the “one remote” philosophical ideal, to the extent that I bought a cheap WMC remote with IR receiver, and…

I guess I have to accept that my use case is uncommon and that people who primarily use only one HDMI input are in the majority. I use my Harmony to switch between my Roku, Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. I use the Series X for blu-ray playback (and I actually collect and use blu-rays because I care about…

I really want to fully switch to Google TV, but I can’t get my head around having to give up my Logitech Harmony remote because the Chromecast with Google TV doesn’t have an IR receiver.
