You forgot stabbing people in the stomach.

Originally Amazon had a 30 day price guarantee, but around 5 years ago they stopped. They have published price guarantee policy on a few select items, like TVs (and also preorders), but I don't think there's really a consistent policy right now. Sometimes they say no, or sometimes they will make an "exception." One…

Part of good lifehacking is knowing what your strengths, and Lifehacker is good at productivity, not philosophy. Mission drift can quickly kill a good website.

I do this with Pinboard, which will save highlighted text in a "description" box which is searchable. But, it has a signup fee (though on the other hand, it's a cloud service, so no need to back it up or lose it when on a different computer).

I didn't realize there were professional cable wrappers. Does it pay well?

Fasting twice a week is also recommended in Eastern Orthodoxy, which is probably the origin of the recommendation in Islam. For some traditions (Ethiopian) it's complete abstention, for some (Greek) it's restriction of certain foods (olive oil, meat and dairy, sugar, etc.)

I think if RTM could make their horrible website look and function more like their android app, they'd be back on top. They're still ahead of most with smart syntax when adding an app (I don't want to use anything that requires multiple mouse clicks just to set a due date), Evernote integration (could use some work,…

Every speed test I've seen in at least the past year, including Lifehacker's, puts Chrome as the winner. Opera even loses to Internet Explorer now.

True, that would be a workable (and more expensive) solution. :)

I wish I could filter all lifehacker posts containing "pallets" and "dryer sheets" out of my rss feed.

I love my cheap Safco desk - it's more a workstation width (~2.5') than a full desk, but I wanted something to go alongside my regular desk at work (since some people find it weird to meet while standing up). I held off for a while because I thought having it easily adjustable between sitting and standing would be…

At some point isn't it going to be confusing trying to remember whether Ice Cream Sandwich came before or after Chock Full o'Nuts? But what do I care - I use an ancient dumb phone.

"Buy generic" was good advice for my parents, but regular brands from Costco or through Amazon are usually as cheap or cheaper.

And if it was a woman over 40 who lost 75 pounds in a year, I'm sure you'd find a reason to belittle her too.

So if you were diabetic, would you stomp your feet and scream at people who decided to cut down on sugar?

I'm not looking to argue, just to note that just because she wrote it in a book doesn't make it objective fact.

Evolution almost killed it, but Lastpass kept it going.

Kale has considerably less oxalic acid content than spinach, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, most nuts, or chocolate. I'm not sure why Kale gets singled out as if it is the sole olxalate-carrying food. Sufficient water intake will take care of moderate amounts, and most people I've known don't take in more than a…

Kale is fine raw, but some of the cholesterol-lowering benefits of kale are more effective if it's lightly steamed.

I always use a lime (cutting off a bit at each end and juicing the whole thing), and either fresh ginger or a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Along with a few carrots, this creates a nice balance of bitter, sour, sweet, and spicy. I don't usually add salt, but I'm sure this would blend in well too. It's unfortunate that…
