If you get paid bi-weekly, sometimes that solves it for you. December is a three paycheck month for me, so I’ll use the extra check for holiday expenses, and then the put the rest of it in my savings.

I’m confused. Didn’t we already solve this with the automatic?

Yeah, sliding into the wall would be ideal. We had some doors that did that in the house I grew up in, it was really convenient.

I have sliding doors on my current closet and I hate them. I would gladly take bi fold doors in a heartbeat.

I have old epipens I need to get rid off. My pharmacy won’t take them, I don’t think trash or toilet is good for these... They’re a lot harder to get rid of than regular meds.

I always laughed when people insisted on completely disabling the GPS on their phone, and then going into the settings and turning it on when they need to use maps. GPS has always been fine to leave on, because when it’s not being used it is off anyway. It’s not always searching for a signal the way WiFi does when…

I will say the same thing here I said on the post he wrote a while ago that you mentioned. A Swiffer is not a replacement for a vaccuum. You still use that on carpet, and either that or a broom on hard floor. Then you use a swiffer, as a replacement for mild mopping. Even in a clean house, the kitchen and bathroom…

I think Google’s new Nexus policy is 2 years of major updates, not 18 months. Presumably this will apply to Pixel as well, now that they’re making a Pixel Android device.

Keeping up with the Dinklebergs*

So true. It bothers me that so many people blindly vote for their party without learning anything about the actual candidate. I tend to lean towards one party, but I still pay attention to who I’m voting for and will consider the other side too.

Agreed. The screenshots in the post capture the most dangerous kind of brand loyalty, the people exclaiming “I will only ever buy Apple”.

Interesting, and I mostly agree. But for fun, devil’s advocate time:

Yeah. I majored in Mathematics and Economics in college, so I ended up doing okay with basic financing. But even then, if it weren’t for Lifehacker and Two Cents, I would probably be keeping all my savings in a savings account because I wouldn’t want to “gamble” on the market. But you guys, plus a bit of my own…

In my experience, income is a bit taboo but rent is not. (I don’t have any friends with a mortgage yet, everyone I know is renting). It’s common anytime someone goes to someone else’s apartment for the first time to say something along the lines of “this place is pretty nice, how much is the rent?” I think it’s…

Ah, yes that’s true, I hadn’t even thought about trying to put them inline (since I just make simple notes, I open up Google docs for anything more complex) but that means pictures is definitely still an area where it “falls short”.

You can add multiple pictures to a note in Google Keep, I’m pretty sure you have always been able to (as long as adding pictures at all has been an option).

Inbox! I love it. I’m guessing it only supports gmail accounts, which I assume is why its not even mentioned. But if you do only use gmail, I highly recommend it.

Still using office 2007 at work...

Cool code name -> mediocre real name. It’s an annoying pattern.

True, I would agree with that. Though the fact that this article was spurred by something said by a doctor who is running for president is worth an extra face palm.
