And before the surprisingly vocal minority of "just leave Facebook" people show up...yes. Not using Facebook is an option if you want to keep your identity secret. However, that decision shouldn't really have anything to do with the type of identity you choose to display. Plenty of people (more than a billion, by a…

my toilet plunger is like the one shown in the photo and i don't think it would make a very good seal on a flat front. that type of plunger isn't designed for flat.

On older cars, maybe. Any moderately new vehicle that's in good repair won't die because you turned your car off while you wait for your partner in the McDonald's parking lot.

People who put this much brain space into their mobile operating system of choice are truly bizarre to me. I mean, I have android devices and they're all rooted and whatever, so I clearly like android. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what would possess someone to spew out the comment that you just did.…

There are reasonable HR people? (sort of joking)

Mint is the best personal finance tool ever. They are on all major platforms iOS/Android/Mac/Windows. Mint is made by Intuit, who sells money management related products and most trusted org since many years and I trust them because I use to use their Quicken before which is similar to Mint but a self managing finance…

I don't think @binaryvisions or anyone for that matter is considering 0.02% money market funds "investing" nowadays. Say you're financing a car for a $30000 car for 36 mo. term assuming $5000 downpayment and 2% APR. Final cost of financing the car is ~$800 (excl. tax fees etc.) on top of paying up front. If you…

Your bank is your friend.

What are you trying to say, that a professional cheerleader cannot be affiliated with a school?

We've featured speed reading tips and apps over the years, and we understand this is, in a lot of ways, contradictory to those. Originally, this started out as a "complete guide to speed reading," and in researching it, we discovered that the answer was different than we thought. As such, we've updated our old posts…

Cover pic is totally cheating. If we all had closet that was bigger on the inside than on the outside, this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Over the past couple of months, you've heard that they don't exist. But they do exist, even in Sochi— you just have to know where to look for them. And here at the Mayak cabaret, you'll find plenty of them. Despite Russia's repressive laws, you only need to walk through the doors of this bar to discover the truth:…

True. Double-acting powder does make a difference. You can get some seriously tall, fluffy biscuits with it. But, in a pinch the DIY stuff can get you by.

Even imperfect practice makes perfect. As long as you have the goal in mind - say, making free throws - even if you keep missing the goal and adjusting, eventually something clicks and you hit the goal. Then you practice to make your efforts consistant.

Been a long time since I actually commented, but let me try to explain with an EE background. I may be wrong in certain cases, so feel free to correct me.

I think that's vastly oversimplifying. You move too much you can hurt yourself. You eat too little you can cause problems. Even if you reduce calories to a healthy number, if you eat the wrong types of foods you can provide your body with poor nutrition and cause serious problems. While what you suggest provides a…

I like Beautiful Widgets because you can skin it to match your theme, it has a bunch of different sizes and you can link it to your favorite weather app.

Vote: Xbox 360 Controller

Why: I know there's a big debate over Xbox vs PS controllers, but the Xbox controller has always been my favorite. Its curves fit perfectly into my hands, its buttons depress very far and have a satisfying "click" to them, and it's control sticks are very comfortable. Some people have…

As people have pointed out to me in the past, I'll pass it on. WD-40 is great for penetrating and un-sticking screws and for WD (water displacement). It's not a great general purpose lubricant, so use a lubricating oil pen instead for squeaky hinges.
