Let me translate those 3 bullet points:

Simply being in a monogamous relationship won't help you, but living your whole life that way will. Being in a monogamous relationship half the time is entirely irrelevant, and sounds just like the advertising tricks these greedy drug companies use.

You're correct, it isn't free. However, the cost is distributed among everyone with your insurance plan. This means that if we use the same insurance company, I have to pay for part of your birth control. If you need it for some actual health reason, then that's fine. If the only reason you want it is because you…

The vodka (other things that perform similar functions are aspirin, bleach, chlorine, etc - designed to keep bacteria from growing in the water. Tap water already has chlorine) can be omitted if you are changing water daily. Here are the rules for making flowers last longer:

Hey, it doesn't take "what most people think of" to make a good bachelor party. Mine was a group of friends at my apartment, eating pizza and playing video games all night (not even any alcohol). If I had it to do over, the only thing I would do different is make coffee (although 4am without caffeine can get pretty…

I agree: this is possibly the worst advice I've ever read. I don't even need to explain it further. It's just... that bad...

I concur. I can afford a 30 yr mortgage. I can't afford a 15 yr one. Besides the house and the 0% interest car loan that's about $10k, I have no debt, and don't miss payments. I pay extra on the mortgage when I can, but can't always do so. I live in CA, where foreclosure is the norm. Anyone care to tell me I don't…

I agree that black holes aren't scientific. There has never been any scientific evidence of one. They are just an unproven theory designed to make scientists feel that they know more than they actually do. The burden of proof is on the scientists to prove that black holes exist, not for others to prove there aren't.…

Also, if you know you're going to be prone to motion sickness, prevent it by taking some ginger prior to going. I've taken ginger before going on boat rides, airplanes, winding car rides, etc, and it has prevented me from getting motion sick, when I would have otherwise. The stuff is amazing, but best taken as a…

I heard that it was the plastic basket impeding water flow. The only piece of silverware that we ever put food-side-down is sharp knives (i.e. non-butterknives).

Because you grew into bad posture, and it's the norm for your body. I was this way too. Ever since childhood, I've had horrible posture. I'm just now trying to correct it, and it's taxing on my back; it feels sore and tired most of the time. At first, it was causing worse pain than having poor posture, but it's…

The only bread I buy regularly is bagels, which I store in the freezer. Stored at room temp, they ALWAYS mold before I'm done with the bag (even if I eat one every day). Stored in fridge, the only difference is that they dry out faster. Stored in freezer, they still dry out after a few days, but it keeps the mold at…

On the contrary: he sounds like the worst boss ever. There's a difference between standing up for employees and being an a-hole. This guy was an a-hole. A-holes are a-holes to everybody, and likely treated his employees the same way. I can guarantee you that his motivations for treating the customer as horribly as he…

When this is all that scientists (supposedly the smart portion of humanity) can come up with... no wonder society is on a decline...

I agree. I'm still rocking magnetic media, but half of my boot time is pre-bootloader. If you want fast boot, you not only need an SSD, but a motherboard that was designed to boot quickly (usually expensive, gaming-oriented, enthusiast motherboards).

I took a life lesson from my own front lawn. The grass may be greener on the other side, but grass you've nurtured back to life to be just as green is far more satisfying than just crossing over to the other side. I'll leave the metaphorical interpretation up to you.

I agree; different activities require different warmups. As a former soccer player, I know that warmups are vital to avoid injury. Yet when I run, my warmup is no more than starting slow (fast walk) and building speed very slowly for a few minutes. When I'm lifting weights, my warmup is just enough to "wake up" the…

Forgot to mention - Vinegar also does a good job of relieving the pain of the sunburn.
