Glad it wasn’t just me who felt this way. This is my first time playing anything Halo, and the opening was indeed underwhelming. Can’t wait for the game world to open up.

If you use TP, having enough TP for your home + guests is a pretty fundamental part of running your household. As such, it seems like it’d be odd to bring or accept TP when someone comes over, particularly during a special occasion.

I wouldn’t expect people to bring dinner plates, cutlery, glasses, etc. to my place…

I’m guilty of piling clothes on a chair and I’m not a fan of it - I don’t like using it, it doesn’t help me save time, and no likes seeing it.

There are all kinds of racks that fit into small spaces in a bedroom and perform the same function without looking like a mess. I’d encourage people to try that instead.

I haven’t described myself with just adjectives in my resume, nor have I looked for job applicants’ descriptions in their resumes. I believe an employer or potential employee should be more concerned with experience, expertise, accomplishments, outlook, and expectations.

Putting these words on your resume doesn’t make…

I don’t know much about cars, but I love reading this column! Can someone please explain this part of the nurse’s query?

A brand new suitcase costs about half what Terracycle charges for its smallest cardboard box. Is that really a good option for conscious consumers?

I review gadgets for work, and that means frequently switching phones. LastPass makes it easy to migrate from one device to another, and log into all the services I use on my phone. Plus, it’s free to use on as many devices as you like, and I’ve gotten by for years without the premium features.

I believe VLC is most people’s weapon of choice for good reason, but I stumbled upon PotPlayer many years ago in my search for a video player with a nice UI. It’s still solid, highly customizable and flexible, looks better than most other tools, and is free. If you’re fan of apps with ‘skins,’ this one’s worth a try. h…

You’ll need a VPN to get around The Great Firewall and access blocked services like Google search, Gmail, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

Sign up, pay for, and install a VPN on your laptop + phone before you arrive in China. Many popular VPN providers’ sites are blocked there, making it difficult to download the…

I love sprinkling on dried + smoked shredded beef/pork, a popular addition to meals in India’s north eastern states. It’s kinda like jerky, but I prefer the version made with chillies and bamboo shoot. A great way to add heat and umami goodness to your ramen! Here’s what it looks like.

A more controversial choice: Gin…

If you enjoy pilot watches, you can’t do much better than the Orient Flight for $100 (listed at $159, quite frequently available for less).

It would look really bad for Steam/Valve to not do anything about this, especially when the threat is aimed at your company's MD, AND it happens around GamerGate. And honestly, Mike's issue is one that can be solved. If he doesn't have the patience or time to deal with it in a mature fashion, Steam can do without him.…

Looks like this has disappeared from the App Store, can't find it in my regional store or the US store :-(

I'd personally avoid throwing anyone else under the bus for an overdue report. If I didn't have detailed data that Henry was in charge of, I should have taken it up with Henry and handled it before the due date.

And if I must make an excuse for a late/slim report, I'd cap it with a promise of when I'd submit it or how…

With a long name like mine, it really feels like too much, even when introducing myself to fellow Indians who are familiar with the sounds of each syllable. If I do intend to keep in touch, I give out my contact details (usually a phone number or email address) and make sure to mention my full name then.

That's the stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Asking yourself 'whom do I actually want to work for, and what do I need to do to make that happen?' is one of the most important, and often overlooked questions that freelancers need to ask themselves.

I'm looking at the pricing page right now - individual Pro plans are $9/year (lifetime = $36), and business plans are $6.75/user/year. Care to reconsider?

I'm rocking Microsoft's Wireless Desktop 2000 (keyboard + mouse set), with my Dell Inspiron 17R. My laptop sits on my desk alongside a Dell UltraSharp 23" monitor so I can use both screens simultaneously, and the Microsoft keyboard sits on the keyboard tray.

Definitely useful if you want to become self-sufficient in the kitchen. Although here in India, stores cut up your chicken for free.
