My girlfriend and I do the same thing. But, the fixed amount of money is what we put into the joint account each month. We both pay an equal amount and more than what is needed to cover our bills. The rest of the money in that account is for our pleasure. The money is your own account is to do with as you please.

I feel like the only appropriate time to use "so" is if you are reasking a question in your own words to indicate that you are looking for clarification.

On my nexus devices, I set swipe from bottom to open Recents. That seems more logical and useful to me. Then, I set long-press Home for instant voice search.

I work in a kitchen, so those clothes get washed often. But my "normal" clothes, they aren't dirty unless they look or smell dirty (especially jeans). Except for underwear, that gets washed after every wear.

Experts estimate that it takes about 500 calories to make the 24 to 28 ounces of breast milk that the average mom makes each day. That's the caloric equivalent of a sizeable brownie (or if you're eating healthier, about 20 medium carrots). Burning anywhere between 200 and 500 extra calories for milk production each…

Rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and baking soda can replace a surprising amount of your standard household cleaners.

Right-click tile. Uninstall. No software needed.

If my Chromecast would just turn off output after a certain time of no-stream, then I wouldn't even need my TV remote. The Chromecast is way more convenient than using my laptop connected via HDMI, but at least when my computer screen went to sleep, so did my TV screen.

Any Android equivalents? I've been looking for a music player for the car.

Agreed. And as a writer, Anthony Bourdain.

Jerky is a good example. If it is cut with the grain, then you get that satisfying, stringy, tearing sensation.

I make sure to get 4-lobe peppers, then cut top to bottom instead of side-to-side.

I really like the way Australia does it. Instead of ABV, they have "standard drink" = 10ml of pure alcohol. So, a bottle of normal-strength beer would be labeled 1 standard drink instead of 5% ABV.

Regular jars of mayo, however, have a wide enough top be scrapped out or stored, stably, upside-down.

Or they could design the bottles to sit "upside-down". Some bottles are already like this, but I have a conspiracy that many companies don't because they want to maximize waste (and thereby maximize purchases).

Yeah, what he means is something to the effect of the gluten formations are destroyed, but it most certainly still has gluten in it.

China ≠ Japan

Just because you are not trying to lose weight, doesn't mean you should eat whatever you want. Granted I just finished a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, but that's because I was too lazy to make some eggs. There are ways to put on weight that don't involve high carb diets.

I have an S4, the screen is plenty big and fits in my pocket snugly but fully, perfect for everyday use. However, for traveling, my gf and I jointly own a 10" tablet. Pair those devices with a headphone splitter and a dual-port, external USB charger and a flight from New York to Beijing will never be without a screen.
