For what it's worth, I've used VRBO many times for places to stay on vacation, from North Carolina to Costa Rica, and I've always had GREAT experiences - easy to find and compare places to stay, easy to connect with owners and set up payment, easy to get in and out of the homes, great accomodations, usually exceeding…

Yeah, the only reason I would use oil for eggs is if I was all out of butter, which would be tragic in general.

My first quick read of this title was "Fix a Wobbly Table with a Bit of Meth" - which seemed like rather questionable advice for Lifehacker. So glad I read it wrong :P

Jesus - this happened within a few miles of my house. I'm disgusted by this woman, and impressed by this guy's ability to keep his cool and try to get her to calm down before getting on the road.

I, too, have inquisitive cats, but they've never messed with any of the following suggestions, which have all made cooking such a breeze (and are always noted with envy by guests). I installed a thin metal rod (cheapie from Home Depot, cut with a small hacksaw, laid onto cup hooks) that goes across the wall behind the…

Hi, developer! I have a question for you... when I tried a similar app (maybe SmartScreen?) a few months ago, I found that there were lots of times when I have my phone in my hand but don't need the screen on constantly. I liked the idea of the phone turning off and on when I put it in and take it out of my pocket,…

I can't speak for the jello, but making your own marshmallows is easy and the only ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, plain gelatin, and vanilla extract.

For what it's worth, I tried this. It didn't work.

For what it's worth, I work in public health research and publish a lot in medical journals - I thought this could be a very useful editing tool, so I tried it with a few of my published papers (that have undergone careful copyediting by the journal's editors after I finished them) - and it was fairly useless in that…

You're not alone, Dodai. Hell, I'll even one up you. I had a guy, mid date, ask me oh so casually like he was asking if I minded if he had a cigarette, "Would you mind if I pull my cock out and stroke it while we continue chatting?" (Of course I said absolutely not - that it was highly inappropriate, and he tried to…

I'm a big fan of ProClip too - I tried LOTS of different mount styles for my Mini Cooper, and couldn't find one that mounted my smartphone in a reachable stable position without blocking major components in the tiny little console/dashboard area. The proclip mount for my Mini put it in the perfect location, and I…

I use these silicone poaching cups, which work on the same premise as the mini mason jars - the first few times I did it, I left the lid off and was frustrated at the fact that I left them in a LONG time yet they weren't getting cooked. Putting the lid on is CRUCIAL to getting it heated and cooked properly - I don't…

I think I can make a pretty fair comparison. I spent over 3 years doing the online dating thing before finding my love 4 years ago. I was on Match, OKCupid, POF, eHarmony, Chemistry, and several sites that focused primarily on finding sex or kink partners (with a profile that made it very clear I was looking for a…

That's more or less accurate - kind of. Psychology can be a lucrative career, but only with advanced education. A BA in psych qualifies you for very little in the way of a professional career - but this is no secret - I was always under the impression that this was generally understood when I was working on mine.…

Seems like this could take up a lot of CPU power and disk space, storing all of those images and text. Isn't it kind of like clipping every single thing you browse to Evernote?

Re: your query about how cats would react... I do this to my cats all the dang time... I mimic their meows pretty effectively back at them. They have a conversation with me - I'm never sure whether they think I'm talking back to them or if they're just irritated that I'm doing it. But they definitely take notice. When…

I'm wondering how they managed to have an all male enclosure - when I was young we had guinea pigs, and read in guide books (and were told) that you can't have more than one male guinea pig in the same cage or they'll fight (but you could have one male and as many females as you liked). And when, for a time, we did…

I always assumed they were better, since it's so easy to ensure it's closed. But if you watch the video you'll see that a lot of them leaked in one way or another (or even burst open when dropped). The Ziploc double zipper surprised me by winning the day!

Being able to check all my many email accounts (from work, from my own domain, from gmail, etc etc) in one place (individually or all together) is a huge factor for me. The organizational features a stand-alone app offers are important, as is the ability to search my email history when I'm offline. The ability to…

Of course they can't use British women - you'd probably be hard pressed to find a British woman in her 20s who wouldn't recognize the real Harry on sight. I pretty much assumed when I started seeing the commercials for this show that they specifically chose American women who (through the undoubtedly long battery of…
