Wait, I need to be able to open the door?  Who knew that in the bathtub was not the best location!  Such great tips... a really needed lifehacker tip!  (Yes, Sarcasm.)

Yes, I always use Maps, as it will find me the quickest route. I think the avoid a Toll Road and take more time, is actually the more unusual request... obviously your preference... most of us, time is more precious than a couple bucks, so we choose to save the time. So, still think your response of wanting to avoid…

Because taking the toll road may be much faster... If you are in Dallas, you should be aware of how that can be true.  Use to work close to Beltline and Dallas N. Tollway, lived in Frisco.  At 6pm I could take the tollway and be home in a bit less than 30 minutes... or I could save about $3, and take 60 minutes, which…

I experienced my favorite loaded baked potato in Houston Texas, a local barbeque place. The kind where there are rolls of napkins (paper towel) on the picnic tables. They started with a baked potato that covers the plate, opened much as you detail, slathered with butter, then chopped barbeque brisket, shredded pork,…

My grandmother said it best... “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it is a hell of a lot easier to be happy rich!”

I like my gas stove... but I realize that CO2 emissions are causing the earth to heat up. That so many conservatives are still arguing that this isn’t caused by humans... is the issue! Nobody is going to come in and take away your gas stove. It wouldn’t make sense to do so, from a purely ecological standpoint, as the…

This concept “One of the key differences between ethical porn and everything else is that it’s typically made through a feminist lens (while male, trans, and non-binary porn performers also deserve to be treated ethically, they fall outside the traditional definition of the form). “In fact, the term ‘ethical porn’ is…

How about suggesting the simplest solution that makes “washing” a check nearly impossible... use a black gel ink based pen.  Pens that use dyes rather than true inks are easily “washed” off the check with a solvent.  Black Gel Based pens use true inks, which are not washed off with simple solvents.  Uniball Black Gel…

What will the next article be?  Perhaps, “Build a bomb to level a building in four easy steps!”  Lifehacker seems to be doing anything for clicks lately. There are some writers here I absolutely love their work and an abundance of “Oh my, what fresh fecal material is this?”  In case it isn’t clear, this article is…

Thanks, should have thought about that, you are absolutely correct!

I think you forgot to fill in some words... “In this case, use a , or .”

This article is useless. It only serves to bring up questions, that it then fails to answer. For example, “Before selecting a polish, figure out if your car has hard or soft paint.” The article then fails to help you identify between the two, while the article in the link also fails to do so. It then says to start…

Yet, you just took ten minutes to look at the article, read some comments, then write your own comment! So your not so valuable comment, (I doubt it swayed my or others opinion,) cost you about $667 by your own estimates. I also don’t buy your premise, we all take some downtime (during which our time is not worth our…

Where was the mention of the required qualification: Ability to cover up sexual abuse scandals and then act like they never happened when facts brought to bear by news outlets.

Make the ganache with dark chocolate, room temperature berries, then before the ganache can harden, sprinkle with a bit of Maldon Salt!

Those are not 100% effective.  Even when used correctly, they sometimes fail.  Not sure if you are actually trying to be an A-hole, but that is how your comment was perceived by the 3 people I polled before posting my response.

Personally, I am in the camp of... Have your nieces over.  The wife has them make cookies, where they each get to decide what to put in their cookies.  They then want you to taste them, so you can tell them which is best.  Play coy... I like this one for the chocolate chip amount, but like the nuts in this one.  Of…

I never said they don’t work hard... I think fast food workers are pushed incredibly hard. The issue is that a fast food worker will not make great money, making FIRE nearly impossible for a fast food worker. Success is measured differently depending on what you value. Even if someone likes a job in fast food, their…

I can understand your frustration.  Of course as an employer, you let people know the salary range of the position when you post it correct?  If not... which is 95% of business which will push back and say “compensation is in line with your skillset and experience”, then you reap what you sow!

FIRE has never purported to be for someone holding a minimum wage job at a fast food restaurant!  Yes, you are going to need to make some money... but that is part of FIRE as well, maximizing your income by working hard and being successful.  Often the first step there is making good life choices regarding job skills…
