It does seem a bit excessive. Something to consider in building a first aid kit is that it should be tailored to injuries you are likely to receive.

Like I've always said, Apple stuff works for people who don't need features and have money to waste. Personally, I prefer to buy things that are capable of much more at half the price. If all you need to do is route, and you have money you want to get rid of, then by all means, buy an Apple router. However, neither of…

So much hate for aloe... I'd bet you've never used real aloe (hint: I've never found it at any store). Get an aloe plant, pull a leaf off, chop it open, and scoop the gel out of there. Yes, it's a little slimy, but it'll cause your burn to heal faster. If you don't care about healing speed and only about temporary…

Spoken like a person who has no idea what real heat is. Where I live, 100+ highs are the norm during summer (110 isn't uncommon), as are 80-90 degree overnight lows. It is this way for entire months.

I wasn't aware the iPad was so crippled... I can control my dd-wrt router from my Android phone...

Yeah, that's some flawed logic in that article. Calories may not be able to tell the difference, but your body sure can tell the difference between "it's been 30 min since a meal" and "It's been 4 hours since a meal". Certainly don't go to bed hungry, but eating anything before bed will disrupt sleep. Eating a tiny…

Another possibility, IF you can (BIG "if" here), is to simply shift your morning back a few hours. I'm in a difficult position of being the type of person who needs more sleep than my wife, needs to wake up earlier than my wife, and takes 10x as long to fall asleep as my wife. This makes going to bed at the same time…

Also apply this to lights in general. Keep it as dark as you can handle for 2-3 hours before you plan to sleep. Exposure to light will delay your sleep cycle for about that long.

I'm going to do a complete guess without doing any Googling whatsoever, and say "light-sport aircraft pilots". Yes, I know it completely goes against the whole concept of the challenge, but you know what else has more than doubled in the last decade? Trolls =P

I don't think ANY tip for saving money applies to buying an Apple product from any source. If you want more for your money, Apple shouldn't even be a consideration. Cheap laptops that work can be found from Acer. Want more power? Asus. Want a gaming-grade laptop? Sager. I'll punch you in the face if you say…

Have a way to remind yourself to follow-up. This can be as simple as a calendar reminder. Another way to make sure you follow up is to follow up before you need to follow up. In other words, don't wait for project completion to follow up, go ahead and give a status report at 50%. Following up before it is expected is…

Some things should be expected to be flaked out on. My wife invited me to train for and run a marathon with her. I laughed. I don't need to offer an excuse for not doing it. I'm not wimpy afraid of the super extreme crazy hard workouts, nor do I hate her.

It most certainly is. That's why Botox injections carry a slight risk of death. If the injector makes a mistake (e.g. injects too much or uses too strong of a concentration) it can leave you with enough toxin to cause serious damage or even death.

This. My bachelor party consisted of my friends coming over with video games and pizza. No strippers, no booze, no "stereotypical bachelor party stuff". It's what I enjoy doing - hanging out with friends, and gaming.

This just seems... clunky. I have a mug that has a strainer that fits into it, and a lid that fits over the top of that. I just brew my loose-leaf tea right in the mug, and lift the strainer out along with all the leaves.

There are many different levels of complexity when it comes to project management. I suspect the "target project" for this isn't one that requires something like MS Project, but rather something that only requires a bit more organization than a to-do list.

Showing up may be 90% of success, but the real question is what are you being successful at? What you're showing up for is far more than the remaining 10%. In fact, deciding to show up for the right thing is 100% the prerequisite of showing up at all. (e.g. do you really consider yourself to be a "successful McDonalds…

Yeah, I'm one of the few who actually uses the unlimited data too. I don't abuse it, mind you, but I certainly use more than the average. My wife does a lot of Pandora and Netflix, and I do Netflix and tethered gaming. Some months we're below the average, but most months we pass 2GB. Therefore, we're keeping our…

Sigh... more "retina display" BS. Then again, it's Apple we're talking about, so nobody cares about the real specs, just the buzzwords.
