Actually, padding compound is also used for the exact purpose you're writing this article about. To bind paper together for notepads. Go to any small print shop, ask them if you can get scrap pads, or if they might be able to make you some scrap pads, and how much they would cost. They'll usually be very cheap,…

Then you probably shouldn't have titled it "Tweeting Cat Door Keeps Unauthorized Animals Out of Your Home". Because it doesn't. So it's very confusing. Not to mention that it doesn't even tell you if an unauthorized animal enters or exits the home since they won't have an RFID tag and therefore won't have their…

Did they pay you guys to run this article without a "maybe you should be cautious about handing over your CC/bank info" disclaimer? Because a LOT of people read Lifehacker and it's super irresponsible to suggest that giving out your bank account information is safe, secure server or no.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Oh man, good one. Area I live in, no one gets bonuses unless you're self-employed or work for one of the insane places such as Cedar Point in Sandusky and even that's based on you not missing a single day of work even if you're borderline dying, working every weekend throughout the summer, and any…

Honestly I believe this is the RIGHT way to lose weight. What's funny is that people use the term "diet" as a get-rid-of-fat-scheme when really "diet" is described as "The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats." YOU are the only person here who has actually changed their diet from the…

I will say that Weight Watchers was the only thing I ever tried to do that I lost weight on. That being said, a lot of what I learned there didn't truly stick. Unless I was constantly figuring up my points I didn't get into a "groove" of knowing just what to eat and/or how much of it to eat. Basically,…

If you click through to the original post, what they're basically saying is "don't make a huge pot of soup and then put the whole thing in the fridge for 2 weeks". They're saying that if you intend to make a huge batch, and want to freeze some, do it the SAME DAY you make it, keeping out perhaps half the batch for…

Wait... also... Winamp is owned by AOL now? Definitely not paying for it, then.

WinAmp, to me, was THE alternative to Music Match Jukebox, the POS software that used to come with every MP3 player ever when they first started coming out (with a WHOPPING 256MB of storage space). Nowadays, iTunes does everything WinAmp did for me, looks a lot cleaner in my personal opinion, makes more sense with an…

This is one reason I'm VERY glad I live in a small town. There is a BMV here and I've only ever, at most, seen 5 people waiting, and they have 2-3 people behind the counter. It goes super fast. Unless you have to go to a certain location for a specific reason, I'd find out if you can go to a nearby smaller office…

BUT HOW LONG DID THE LED LAST!? Man, cliffhanger.

I have a trenchcoat that was treated this way when I bought it, they call it oilskin canvas (it's actually linseed oil and wax but I'm pretty sure it's awfully similar), and it works incredibly well. I wore it in near-freezing conditions while it was raining, outside for several hours and while the coat itself wasn't…

That's not tortured, that's mutilated. It still doesn't have anything to do with Schrödinger's cat. It's a thought experiment in which something is in a flux state until observed. While it is unobserved, it is actually in both states at the same time. This is the opposite, and has certainty in every step. You…

I think it's bothering me because there's literally no reason to refer to Schrödinger's cat in this article, or in the original quote. It makes absolutely no sense and is a large part of why people don't even know what Schrödinger's cat is or what it means. Even your description of a "Schrödinger state" makes no…

I'm confused. How is this anything like Schrödinger's cat? That theory states the cat is both alive and dead while you cannot observe it. This is saying that as you observe the email, it is there, and when you cease to, it is no longer there.

That would be very odd to me, since wouldn't it behoove an employee to then skim from the drawer if it was over on a regular basis? So, say, if they ended up being about $50 over start taking the occasional $5 bill and pocketing it until it were closer to a zero balance. Though I'd expect they'd have things in place…

You are a better man than I. I'm not entirely sure I could do that with my current money troubles. Though I know if I didn't it'd eat away at my conscience for months.

The link for this one is right in the post. It was Best Buy. Where it says in the post "Whether your employer accidentally doubled your paycheck or Best Buy shipped you five iPads when you ordered one..."
