I LOL’d at the idea of the obstacle course and bladed pendulum, but please keep in mind that this project could be useful for disabled people or for when an able people is temporarily incapacitated, other than when you simply aren’t home. Plus, some dogs are simply happier with some sort of system to give them…

I wish Uber was more popular in Italy! Do you have to show some sort of badge or document attesting the disability?

What about carrots? My brother’s girlfriend has this habit of soaking them in lemon juice to prevent the browning but then they’re impossible to eat. Do they become brown for the same reason? Do you think honey water would taste weird on vegetables?

The marvel comics deal is only available in USA, apparently. I’m from Italy and I couldn’t download them.

THE NIGERIAN PRINCE EMAILS ARE A HOAX??? Why, why do you have to destroy all my dreams....

I like the article, but given the title, I was expecting a list of techniques to memorize and analyze books or news better, and instead it focuses more on getting rid of the things you can’t retain because you don’t give a rat’s ass about them. Also, it talks a lot about RSS feeds and mailing lists, and it won’t…

I use calm.com and the android app. There is some free content and some other premium content, including guided meditation, but I mostly use the music files. I’ve found the images also help me relaxing as closing my eyes doesn’t really work for me. It’s from the creator of “donothingfor2minutes” I think. I’ve also…

“Evoken is an American funeral doom metal band from Lyndhurst, New Jersey, that is influenced by the Australian band Disembowelment and the Finnish band Thergothon.”

You mean years? I’ve heard meditation can become emotional, but I don’t think you could count the exact amount of tears it takes to reach enlightenment :P

Maybe he meant “spiritual” experience. In our western culture, spiritual and religion stuff often get confused, while to eastern culture they can be two very different matters. I tried meditating but instead of focusing on my body or on specific things letting the noise out, I just end up spacing out, which is the…

2 very important but sad examples come to mind: rape victims and cops that “thought” they saw a gun in the hand of the person they shot.

You should add that these techniques might actually backfire depending on the personality of the people you’re trying to influence. Some people are just more sensitive to manipulation, while others would find out easily and get pissed off by that. you should add point zero, or “how to understand which people can be…

Hairpins as in , the kind my grandma uses? Dude, you’re a creep.

This could be applied to at least 3 close friends and relatives who unfortunately don’t speak English all that well. Is there an Italian version somewhere, or can I translate it and publish it here on kinja?

But what stop the relatives from suing him using the written instructions instead of the recording? In the end, If someone’s intentions are bad they’ll always find a way to try and damage people.

I can’t wait for technology to bring us bionic eyes and brain storage upgrades so I could finally stop forgetting important things such as my doc’s words after a surgery!

I’ve become increasingly frustrated by the fact that all the coolest apps are ios only. I wouldn’t switch to iPhone, but I’m wondering if I should take a used iPhone just so I could use some of my (would be) favourite apps. Why can’t we have a frankenphone with both systems?? *sigh*

Am I a bad person if I'm telling you I'm using this with my boyfriend? I have some problems remembering to do important stuff at the right time and I am totally inhibited in initiating conversations, and the automatic texts prompt a response in him that make him call me/reply. My insomnia makes things more…
