Let me tempt you to the Dark Side:

You can rag on anything else, but for some of us, lip balm is NOT optional.

I would probably split the difference & heat it up a little bit. I've made this, it's really good yet fast:

Sorry, I have no counter space in my bathroom to clutter, and shelves attached to the wall above my throne make me nervous. Any recommendation for nice, modern above-the toilet cabinets. My Menards one is OK, but not stylish:

It's a really useful tip for role-playing games, where you might be in the middle of a battle and have to wait 2 weeks to get back to it:

For under my bathroom sink, I used Really Useful Boxes and IKEA KUPOL:

One of the most Lifehacker-y places of all, Ax-Man Surplus in St. Paul, MN: http://ax-man.com/

Printer + full sheet label paper + postal scale = home post office!

I'm somewhat squeamish and like to toss cleaning pads when I'm done with them, but I want to be green, so I use S.O.S. Pads. Just steel wool and soap! Good for kitchen countertops, bathtubs, sinks, and crusty pots and pans.

They really don't expect to be told, "Nope!", do they?

If he doesn't drive, it's pretty minimalist. Remember, we non- drivers don't have a giant metal purse on 4 wheels.

If he doesn't have a drivers license and is job searching, he might be spending a lot of time on the bus, which I don't think has wifi even in Seattle (looks like some commuter trains do).

Am I the only one who goes in their Delicious and Simplenote accounts every 6 months to remove tags with similar/mispelled names (e.g. apple vs apples vs appple). It just bugs me. #librariansvsbadmetadata.

I want to start making stir-fries again to eat more veggies, but I'm lazy about making the sauce. Is there a recipe for the traditional soy sauce-cornstarch-rice wine-garlic-ginger sauce that can be kept in the fridge for a long time? Preferably not too sweet.

Oh, there are definitely upsides to being sensitive:
