I’ve never seen a Wellington recipe with prosciutto. An interesting addition, that little bit of porky richness would balance the mustardy tang and the buttery pastry...

Carving out a niche is all well and good, I did that. I killed it. People I worked with loved me and the attention I paid to each and every person. Then someone from another department thought they should be providing that service. They didn’t tell me, or ask for my advice or assistance in transitioning and training…

Last New Years, I made for myself from one box of puff pastry

This is why I recommend Lifehacker to just about everyone. This is the only article I have read today that tells me the story but also what I can do about it.

Check out the 1954 film: Salt of the Earth. The story is based on the 1951 strike at the Empire Zinc company in New Mexico. An amazing story behind the scenes and a great film about the power of women and solidarity.

And that sinking skyscraper in San Francisco is a stunning example of modern design in action.

I’ve made several loans to a friend who needed to buy equipment for his business. I spoke with my financial advisor who asked me one question: “Will your friend claim the interest in his tax return? If not, then don’t worry about the IRS.” In both cases, we wrote up a loan agreement with a repayment plan and interest…

As I despair over the state of the world, thinking I may never experience joy again, the extraordinary Maddie Stone pens the greatest opening sentence to a science story, ever.

My RSS reader did not show the video window, so I got the joy of reading your description rather than actually watching it. I think I got the better end of that deal.

I’ve lived alone for over 25 years. I live by the motto: I want people in my life, just not in my house. I went from eating frozen dinners (convenient) to cooking (healthy).

Do my ears deceive me or does the sound of the Downhornchorus sound exactly like the sound of The Incredible Mr. Limpet’s thrum?

Many years ago, there was another company called Palantir, based in Houston, TX. They wrote a word processing program for CP/M. It competed with the likes of WordStar and WordPerfect. My dad used it on his first computer to write his master’s thesis. I’ve always wondered where the name came from (I’m not a Tolkien…

I am really troubled by the fact that Google is not only “listening in” on all conversations (albeit to improve the performance of the app) but will keep those conversations indefinitely.

I just tried to run Yakyak 1.2.5 on 10.11.6 and got an error on launch. There is a bug thread on the github site. Sad, but I’ll keep checking back.

Your response is a thing of beauty. I learn so much from the Lifehacker community. I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to respond.

Damn, that’s scary. Thing is, this article is talking about consumer debt. Add debt from home ownership and/or education debt (student loans) and all the other things in the nerdwallet story, it’s startling.
