I vote AT&T too. I had them for years (was dragged over from Cingular when they bought them), and my ability to get a signal degraded substantially. For years. For 2.5 years, and over 5 different devices (different brands, operating systems, etc), my calls would drop without warning. I would be sitting in my house (in…

Yes, I edit my recipes all the time to add notes and tweak things. Even if you insert a few lines it will auto-renumber it when you save, and you can type ## before and after text you want to appear as a bold heading (like ingredients for a cake vs. for its frosting, or in the instructions, for prep work vs. cooking…

I, too, am a OneTsp.com fan. For years I used offline recipe database software (like MasterCook) to keep all my recipes, but as I moved into smartphone land, I was finding it very frustrating to not be able to access my recipes on the go, and was struggling to find a good app for that that would ALSO let me easily…

Sorry, but I disagree - it's a great (and water-saving) idea for me. Both my shampoo and conditioner (which are "special") require leaving them on my scalp for 2-3 minutes, which is time I use to brush my teeth, time during which I'd otherwise just be standing there waiting around in the shower, wasting water. (Sorry,…

I'm telling you, light a candle. The open flame works WONDERS.

Because people who have standing treadmill desks totally walk on their treadmills in heels.

For what it's worth, I have a G+ account which I rarely use - it's fully set up, but I don't remember ever having selected privacy settings, and I only use it occasionally for things like Google Hangouts or other services that want you logged into G+ - I don't use it for social media purposes. When I clicked the…

It's important to note that cannolis are generally NOT made from the type of ricotta you find at the grocery store, that you'd put in lasagna. I tried that once, and the texture and flavor were all WRONG (same goes for adding mascarpone cheese to the mix). After much research, I discovered that cannoli filling is…

Yeah I've bee using this tomato hack successfully for years. If he flipped the lids around so the lips faced inward, and used a long sharp knife, it would have worked beautifully. Having the lips facing inward provides for a narrower area for the knife to slice through, so it's much easier to slice through the CENTER…

Yeah I suspect that when I buy them at the grocery store they've been picked long enough ago that they're only a day or two from turning into moldy mush - but local strawberry season around here is only a month or two, so I have to make do with what I can get.

For what it's worth, the Edy's sold in my area (NC) is not tapered (like the upper photo). And also, Edy's slow churned 1/2 the fat ice cream is... fantastic - tastes to me like full flavor, full fat ice cream, no sacrifices. The caramel delight flavor is... delightful.

For what it's worth, last time I bought strawberries from a pick-them-yourselves strawberry farm, the farmer told me to NOT refrigerate them and NOT wash them until I was ready to use them to make them last the longest. I don't know if there's a difference in the ones I buy at the store (have already been rinsed…

I've long been a Sinead fan, but her letter was, as several have said, slut shaming, tacky and a publicity stunt intended to draw attention to herself by publishing an ill-advised "open letter" in the media about the most talked about pop culture personality right now. If she really cared about getting an important…

"National Institutes of Health, that difference isn't the result of the complexity of suppressing male fertility"

For what it's worth, I coordinate all things tech for a large federally funded academic cancer research network - the bulk of our collaborations take place via email, conference call, and lots and lots of shared documents. We have hundreds of researchers and tons of different Workgroups and collaborative research…

I used to use OneNote, but switched to Evernote for two primary reasons: 1. OneNote doesn't auto-sync all of your notes to the cloud (or didn't a few years ago - I think there's a more cloud-based version now, but at the time I switched it wasn't automatic, you'd have to specify each note you wanted synced and so on),…

I loooove Evernote - I used to use it primarily for phone notes, and MS OneNote for everything else, until I switched from PC to Mac a few years back and discovered there's no OneNote for the Mac (plus I'd long been frustrated that my notes weren't easily available on my phone). I use Evernote for SO many things, from…

Agreed - I got turned on to Trello by my programmer, who wanted to use it to manage an app development project. I quickly was sold and have gotten the rest of my staff on multiple projects using it - great, simple, really works well for our workflow (which, for what it's worth, is academic public health & cancer…

There are also cat doors that operate via magnets or other small electronics that attach to the cat's collar - no microchip required for the cat, and that would work equally well here.

Oh my GOD that has been driving us freaking BATTY. SO annoying. Our Time Warner DVR is years old, they're happy to replace it for us if only we can get off our asses and bring it in to their office (because waiting for their 6 hour window to visit isn't an option). I'm hoping that if/when we get a new DVR, that will…
