When the girls were at home, just about every closet door was mounted with a $10 Ikea mirror, screwed into the door once the first one dislodged. You can't have too many of them when you have daughters....

My reason for flipping them upside down is to keep our pet rats from chewing the buttons. Can't imagine it is good for them...

If you use a metal filter, you don't need the cone (mine balances in the top of my travel mug), and uses fewer trees.

I saw how much salt one of the hostesses of this year's (Canadian) Thanksgiving put into everything. I am definitely off brining for while.

pdftkBuilder, in my toolkit since 2004, is still the pdftk gui to beat!

For years I used a heating coil with

I had to look up "pomade" . We used to call it, "greasy kid's stuff"

@oopsmyeye: This is my solution as well. As a non-American, I never learned flag-folding.

This lasts maybe the first couple uses for me—then it is a chore again.

@Nitesh Singh: Hurry before the warming uses up your replacement supply!

I have a few thousand books (I try to give some away each year to lighten the load, else I would easily be in 5 digits by now), and I have a few hundred e-books (including articles printed to PDF, etc.)

Ariely`s book is interesting, and fits nicely in with other books discussing human nature, such as The Black Swan, and Outliers.

For those of us old enough, software making you 'stupid' is a variation of so many inventions.

Note that you can rotate the plug-in, something that is not explained with the one I got a year ago, but which turns out to be a very valuable feature, as the one outlet you can get to is often squished into a corner on the wrong side, etc.

My former workplace removed the [Reply All] button from the toolbar, so that people could do so, but only by going through the menu, causing deliberateness, which is one of the aims of NoReplyAll. I've done the same to mine, but people around here seem to be in love with it (sigh).

There are fewer people using 'fewer' in written or spoken english. More people say "less people" or "less items", when they mean fewer people or items. The word 'less' refers to a relative amount of something that cannot be counted, such as a liquid ("there is less water in my glass than in your glass.")

No Extensions. At the 7-8 tab level I am just browsing, so I take a couple minutes to read the shorter ones. If I run out of time, I will occasionally Bookmark All Tabs, but prefer to just keep the number down, or copy urls to a notepad.

There are two costs associated with any technology; the purchase, and ongoing (plans or usage charges). It is in the interests of the companies to push the latter. So, there is less and less free wi-fi.

One might also speculate that Perfectionism vs. Good Enough is the difference between Type A and Type B personalities; between Driven and Laid-back, between 6 of one and a half-dozen of another.
