Absolutely. I painted my door in about a half hour after my divorce (shoulda taken an extra 10 minutes to put one more coat on it, but I kinda like barest of streaks trying to show through). Covered the red with a aqua/teal color that I much prefer with the red brick and white stone of my house. Painting your front…

That’s what it traditionally meant, but it definitely doesn’t mean that any longer.

I know there are fancy alarm clocks out there that will slowly light up your bedroom before your alarm goes off, but a nicer way to do that is using the Hue lights. You can set routines in the app, and you’ll also have a cool smart light to use for other things. If you use Alexa or Google Home, it’s cool to be able to…

Maybe this depends on the state, or the type of easement?  I’m not allowed to put any sort of permanent construction over some of my easements, and if I do, and the easement needs to be used, the utility company will do nothing to repair anything that had to be demolished. 

I used to work with a guy that had a theory that every evil in the world could have been avoided by the proper and timely application of a slap across the face. (i.e., maybe if Hitler’s mom had slapped him when he first exhibited evil, he would not have turned into the monster that he did.)

Yeah, the whole thing doesn’t make sense.  It’s like the words were edited out of the article.

Nah.  Better crossword and spelling games for free out there.

It’s such a problem that people don’t even realize they already use they/them regularly all the time:

Effectiveness of all of these relies on being authentic, but I disagree on the rebuttal part.

I find that “I hear you” is most effective when explaining that you hear someone’s complaint/issue/perspective, but you are not going to (or able to) change things the way they want.  You’re letting them know that you hear…

Right, Signal works on iPhones, but only to talk to other Signal users. You can’t use it to send regular ol’ SMS text messages to non-Signal users like you can on Android.

I switched over a long time ago, but many apps tie the payment to the login, not the app. There is (or there used to be) a website out there somewhere (sorry I have zero recollection of what it was called) that helps transition, including getting your paid apps moved over.

I’ll tell you what would likely get me to switch to an iPhone: being able to use other messaging apps as the default. I can use Signal on my Android phone to handle both secure Signal messages (to anyone) and regular ol’ SMS messages. IPhone users are stuck with the Apple messaging app to send SMS messages. They can…

Well, I don’t disagree, but everything I read said above pretty much said that if it’s comfortable for you, it’s likely fine for them.

If you feel cold, but you’re in a temperature controlled environment, alcohol will help you feel warmer fast. In many cold climates, a bottle of booze sits by the back door of homes so that you can take a nip when coming in from the cold.

IMPORTANT: alcohol will not actually warm you up, and, despite the warm feeling…

I don’t think a web browser is going to erase data stored on a website like your headline states.

I don’t have a Trader Joe’s near me, but the Aldi knockoff Oreos are WAY better than the real thing.

Regardless, I’m still boycotting Nabisco Oreos over the way they screwed over hundreds of American employees when they moved production to Mexico and fired them all.  You should skip the Oreos, too.

Wow, what an interesting topic. Not one that I’ve ever considered. (I don’t run unless something is chasing me.)

Seems like it would be fine to me, if done respectfully as outlined in this post.

I really don’t see why/how people compare an actual e-ink reader to a LCD tablet. You can’t comfortably read books on LCD devices like you can on a real e-reader.

I blame Amazon and Barnes & Noble for this confusion.

I don’t understand the trend to move the sensor from the back.  VERY inconvenient.

Indeed.

And, on that note, aren’t they really just pocket computers? Who uses them as a phone anymore?
