I bought one of these when it was on sale. It sounds really useful, but after carrying it around on trips for 6 months, I never used it once for any purpose other than a battery pack.

As a manager in a large company, I sometimes see huge differences in employee salaries, even where they share the same role. But in my experience, you negotiate your salary once and that is when you start a new job. Employees who work at multiple companies tend to have higher salaries than those who work most of their…

What is this “salary negotiation” of which you speak?

I am a white man explaining why you are wrong and so I suspect you will discount the truth of what I am going to say here.

The article is well written, but I was hoping to see some solutions. It’s not an easy problem to tackle, I get that. I’m an IT director now, and got here pretty quickly. I’m in public education, we tend to have a very high percentage of women in staff and leadership positions. Despite that, I have only one in my…

Tell me more about being a man.

As someone who went through engineering school. I call bullshit.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with “Everything in Moderation”, and it is a tried-and-true rule that’s been around so long for a good reason; it works. It’s not a trap, but it does require honesty in order to work.

I bought the death star ice molds last year, they are not very good. Even with the vent/port on top, the ball never stays together during the freeze so ice forms in a ring at the center.... You end up with these sad, Saturn-looking ice chunks. I tried using less water and then I had Return of the Jedi, deathstar…

Careful here. Avoid friends who are likely to agree with you because you’re tight. I see plenty of unfounded drama at work when a group of like minded people gather and rallies against the dept. only to find they are actually out of line.

My biggest problem with this stuff is calling it “female viagra”. Viagra addresses a physiological problem simply related to blood flow to the area. It has nothing to do with libido (which is a much MUCH more complex issue) ... the truth is that we’ve had “female viagra” for ages, its called KY Jelly (which solves the…

Thermapen Classic (or really any of the Thermapens). Bar none the best thermometer for cooking I have ever bought — accept no substitutes.

Calendar and Contacts on iOS can both use Google to sync up instead of iCloud and in my experience, Google’s syncing works a millions times better. There’s an option under preferences. I mean, even the Apple iOS apps can use Google as the backbone if you prefer them.

Boy, people will latch on to anything to elevate their perceived status. Airline mileage snobs are the worst. “given the level I was at” oh please darling, put it away.

While I understand your desire to get home quickly, its not fair for the airline to let you skip everyone in the standby line b/c of your “clout”. How do you know the rest of the stand by customers didn’t have an immediate need to get home as well?

Frankly, I’m surprised unlimited users have lasted as long as they have. Every time carriers change their plans, they lose a few more of you. If you’re making a lifestyle out of gaming the system, then that’s all well and good, but the rest of the world had to move on a long time ago.

Well that is pretty messed up.

My wife tries this and every time she does it seems to come across in the exact opposite as intended. I feel (see what I did there) like it comes across as more demeaning and like I am being talked down to vs something straight up like, hey would you please do the dishes?

I don’t care how Kotaku continue their website. That’s their choice. My choice is to block ads, peroid. If they don’t like that, oh well. This isn’t hard to understand.

As I just posted, the freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from the consequences of the words one chooses.
