Lame. So people aged 20-30 derive the same “happiness” from 1x/wk as 80-90 year olds? Really? And some individuals aren’t clearly more passionate than others? Really? How stupid. Did they throw all of the results into a blender to get a meaningless average and miss every nuance of meaning the study might have turned…

LOL, I’m picturing the key glowing red hot and smoking after a case of matches...

Agreed. A paper clip or an old dental tooth cleaning tool and the right size jewelers screwdriver have worked for me more than once.

Lifehacker used to have really good articles, then it seems like they went through a bit of a slump and didn’t post as many, and now they are posting more but they aren’t as, um, interesting, they’ve lowered their standard for more volume. I miss the old Lifehacker.

Are the warranties the same for refurbished items and new items?

I think you read about that somewhere, lol.

Learn from experience, not reading? So I guess I should forget everything I just read?

Burner phone.

It’s very disappointing seeing what writers and editors serve us in many self-help articles. Lifehacker is increasingly guilty of this, unfortunately.

Lame article, totally ignored going to a jc for 2 years to save a ton of money, not to mention change your major without taking any economic hits doing so. Purporting to care about low income and overlooking JCs is ridiculous.

I have to take issue with #9, good healthy food tastes better and makes you feel better than the alternative. Even vegan food is delicious to meat eaters when it’s prepared by a talented cook. And exercise is fun and extremely fulfilling if you find the right kind of workout appropriate to your nature and ability. If…

Communication is by far the most important of all of these, imo. If you have that you can handle everything else that comes up. If you don’t have it the relationship will wither and die.

LOL, very good answer, that’s assuming you work in an environment where people want or require accurate information.
Of course the author wants you to work overtime to make sure nobody could possibly be offended. “Well, if you wanted to do it in such a way as to have an outcome where the highest possible good for the…

“Just Sayin’” can be used when you say something online and you want to make clear that it’s just something to consider, you’re not bossing the person.

Quite right. I’ve had bosses who used passive aggressive mode, usually female, and you’re a sexist pig if you say anything in those situations.

I’ve been in situations where something was discussed, people said they understood or said “yes” when asked “does that make sense” or didn’t reply when asked “are there any questions?” and then acted like the discussion never took place. In that case it is entirely appropriate to say, “I thought you understood, you…

Yeah, I’ve been in several situations where I tried to word things so carefully and tactfully and handled things so gently, only to get interrupted with self-justifying repetitive arguments. The article mysteriously doesn’t go into how to handle difficult people. It’s just another feel-good quickly dashed-off…

I’ve had two jobs where females knew the management supported feminists and they were at times very rude to males, worked less, blatantly played more, and some of them looked for reasons to complain about the men and then did so at every opportunity, even though the so called offenses were very minor. Testosterone…
