The main reason it's difficult to make new friends later in life is simply because most people are no longer looking. People have settled into their lives as parents, or careerists, etc, etc. During high school and college, your life is constantly changing, and on the brink of changing, so people are constantly forced…

Am I the only one who feels that none of the apps on this list are particularly annoying?

Listening to an audiobook always helps me get to sleep. It gives you something to think about (but not in a stimulating way, you're just following the story), so it helps if you tend to worry about things before falling asleep. It's unintrusive enough that you can simply just listen and slowly doze off. Unlike a TV,…

I'd actually advise against this. Protein based hair products are good for damaged hair (i.e regularly straightened or hair that has been bleached), as they will temporary fill gaps in the cuticles of the strands. Just keep in mind that they do not actually fix the hair, they just patch it temporarily and usually will…

I am Gregory House and I approve of this message.

It's basically a fully functional linux computer (packages have to be compiled for ARM, but that shouldn't be a problem, most already are in the main repos), so it can do most things a linux computer can, as it has decent hardware. That includes running a small server of some sort, streaming media, or as just a…

It has GPIO pins which can be adapted to pretty much everything with the right attachments. There's an arduino bridge available from Cooking Hacks: http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/documentation/tutorials/raspberry-pi-to-arduino-shields-connection-bridge

Linux Mint was definetly really easy to use. The main thing is that it comes with binary-only packages, i.e way more drivers, flash, etc, etc.

Unless you have a reaaally simple style (i.e you do nothing with your hair, you just let it do whatever), self-trims are really risky (unless you're a stylist of course, but even then, it's difficult). It's so easy to cut it lopsided, and since hair grows so slowly (on average, half an inch a month), it might take a…

Even if the theory behind this is true, I doubt that flipping the tomato upside down is going to significantly correct the process. Air is still going to enter through the stem if it's stem down. Perhaps plastic wrapping it would make a bigger difference.

Massive TL;DR up ahead, as this is actually an area of particular interest to me ;) :

Lol who would have guessed that the culinary applications of onions could be a source of such drama? Onions are serious business!

"Turning it off on the router level only blocks you from controlling these devices over the internet, which most people don't need to do."

I never understand why people get so uptight about stuff like this. As long as they don't actually spam my address with adverts (and even if they did, so what, it just means I toss a handful extra into the Recycling bin :P), I couldn't care less if they know it. As for things like my eye-color, height, weight, etc,…

Lolwut?

This is almost certainly the result of users misattributing their ibuprofen usage to normal clearance of their acne. Pimples tend to be self-limited in duration, often requiring no treatment. So when people take something, i.e ibuprofen, and lo and behold, their pimple goes away after a couple of days, they mistakenly…

The problem with allergies, is that more often than not the scope of the allergy is greatly exaggerated. Most studies performed cross-examining (as well as actually testing volunteers) cases of anaphylactic reactions to peanuts found that being in the presence of peanuts or peanut products was not sufficient to…

People calling this murder are retarded. First of all, if someone kills themselves because of something you do, even if it's direct, you did not take their life. They took their life. In some circumstances, you could argue manslaughter, such as if you knew the person was depressed, and bullied them. You still didn't…

Really dumb analogy; If you give peanuts to someone who's allergic to them (without your knowledge), and they for some reason eat them, you have committed no crime or moral wrongdoing. Giving a person peanuts is not reckless, and since you didn't intend harm, it's definitely not murder.
