Not opposed to it, but the way Lifehacker fawns over this product while ignoring everything else is either willful ignorance or smells like a paid shill (I suspect the former). This post has nine (!) additional posts referenced, relating to Slack. Regular LH readers would not know there are any alternatives.

This might seem like excellent advice, but be warned, it’s from an old person!

If you love groupware the way Lifehacker clearly does, there are lots of products to choose from, not just Slack. Some are better, and offer more features. Here’s a small list: Highfive, Microsoft Teams, Zoho, Airtable, Cisco Spark, Facebook Workplaces, among others. Here is a list from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.…

If you really want your employees to talk to each other all day, get them all on Slack.

To solve the problem of how I should behave, I simply add 20% to everything (I think this was suggested in an article in Lifehacker). My concern is an entirely different one: the suggested tip amount on the bottom of the check. The tip frequently is calculated against the grand total, which includes tax. Is this just…

Those meals are frequently provided by Gate Gourmet. It is my understanding that they are also the food vendor to Starbucks. So many turn up their nose at Airline food, but pay a premium for “cake pops” and morning buns

LOTS of articles, discussions, etc. about Slack. Not for nothing, but there are many competitors to this product. They must love the constant stream of free advertising (or perhaps they’re paying for it?)

So here’s a tip: switch between brown and white on your weekly shopping trips, and you’ll always know which ones to use first.

Not only are they linked inline as Emily pointed out, but if you were to guess what the URL of a search engine might be, you might try “www.insertsearchenginenamehere.com”.

I know you mean well, but please stop posting things like this. You and I, along with many other men would never behave this way, but comments like this make it acceptable to paint all men with a broad brush that we are animals by nature and need to work hard to avoid it.

The opposite is true too. While I am definitely not rich, there are times when I can afford things that the poor cannot, and I mindlessly go about my life not appreciating this.

We recognized this problem many years ago. Since our wedding anniversary is August 13, we decided to celebrate our 1/2 year anniversary instead, on February 13.

How could Hollywood get it so wrong? Those bad guys were dispatched by a white man! They’re supposed to be the clueless ones!

I owned a ‘72 LTD. Dad bought it for me in 1983 so I could get my stuff back and fourth to school. I think he paid $400.

When I first read the headline, I imagined you were referencing sports fans who stay too long eating in the parking lot, thus causing traffic jams. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have clicked on it.

It’s probably old news, but I just discovered Zwift, a video game that makes indoor bike training or running fun, instead of uber-boring. Rather than turning on netflix, I plug my laptop into the TV and ride with others from around the world.

The inside of the Crock pot. Not the crock part, the area between the crock part and the heating elements. I’m sorta wondering how to do this.

What a great idea!

Our solution was to place a sleeping bag on the floor of our bedroom. If our child couldn’t or wouldn’t sleep, they could use the sleeping bag as long as they did not wake anyone.
