Switched to Schick Protectors a few years ago and have never looked back.

Schick Protector. I love the aesthetics of safety razors, but even more I love NEVER EVER NICKING MYSELF NO MATTER HOW FAST I SHAVE. I have a nice stainless-steel handle, badger-hair shaving brush, and mug for shaving soap to salvage the aesthetics. I am happy.

What do I want to happen? Big-ass party. John Prine's "Please Don't Bury Me" played in some form. Good food and silly quantities of alcohol. Actually, I think I'll set up a fund right now. Maybe even a menu.

As for my mortal remains, I've always said donate the useful bits, and put the rest of me in a burlap sack,…

I don't know… there seems to be a lot out there in fiction, film, and television that is pretty far from "completely new and unique"... You might as well give it a shot. Once you have exhausted your mimicry you might actually find you have a new idea or two. Many if not most great artists get their starts as great…

Sound advice.

"Nobody will pay me to…" is scarcity thinking. Start thinking "How can I get someone to pay me to…? " If nobody is offering that job, try to figure out how to create it.

Yeah, I was surprised people were making such a big deal out of it NOW. Especially after 9/11 everyone seemed pretty happy to hand the government carte blanche to do whatever it wanted in the name of "security".

Ben Franklin, Da Vinci… I don't know, maybe Napoleon Bonaparte, or one of the caesars? Alexander the Great? Isaac Newton. Albert Einstein. Just spitballing here...

"Some woman" or some women? The first sounds a bit dismissive...

*wreak havoc. Not wreck.

Seconded. I'm frequently amazed at what people seem to consider acceptable behavior in a relationship, both in the dishing-out and tolerating of it from a partner. I could never live with that background level of hostility and would be gone in a heartbeat.

I think you misread wabisabisabi's remark with regard to "this does not happen *at every single point* in any relationship". To me that simply means: "this should not be the norm". I don't think anybody is saying that these things *never* happen in normal relationships, just that when they become frequent or even…

I do something similar, except I scan into Evernote, which has the added benefit of making the notes all searchable.

I've had good success with intermittent fasting.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm more interested in what my FB friends have to SAY than photos/videos. When the iPad version started showing everyone's photos full-size (but oddly cropped), crowding out text, I simply stopped using it: THAT, to me, was clutter. Now it looks like FB may largely push me off their…

Seconded. Works especially well if you look at the salesperson knowingly, as if you've done the same job, and know the whole system.

I just thought the t-shirt thing was conventional wisdom. Never thought of it as a "hack"… Most stuff is better washed inside out, as it saves wear and tear on the side you see.

Nice. Sounds lovely.

UPDATE: I've been using both the scuba tablet and the audio recorder of a waterproof "spy" watch:

You mean besides Apple?
