Oh, I'm familiar. I still can't believe that here in the USA we use mobile minutes on INCOMING calls. Ridiculous.

Isn't this a 180 degree from the article Lifehacker had last year saying that you should listen to familiar music so that your brain isn't distracted? You guys DO review articles, right?

Probiotics. File under "kinda bullshit"

Keep fighting the good fight, man. Respect.

Wait, so are you saying that if I have a giant workshop filled with power tools that I can make furniture.... our of wood? WOW. Thank you, lifehacker!
