I’m a bit saddened that the first two replies you received seemed to have completely missed your point.

I don’t understand how this made it past the editor.  Nevermind the fact that this is one that spellcheck would’ve caught...

6! 6 trees!
Ah!

I had to write a check for a garage door repair that I had done. First time in at least 15 years that I wrote a check. I had to order checks for my account in order to do it!

Years ago, I was going to a chiropractor for chronic back pain that my doctor and a physical therapist couldn’t do anything about. The chiropractor did some weak adjustments (read: cracked my back) that helped a little. But then he put me on their vibration plate. That did the trick. 10 minutes of vibration and the…

Fill it with cases of bottled water? I fill my big freezer with SmartWater bottles that I refill with tap water, leave a little room at the top, and then squeeze the air out before tightening the lid. It packs my freezer to make it more efficient, makes it easy to grab an ice pack to keep my insulated grocery bag cool…

I’m not a big redditer, but I think it’s summed up in the article above: Reddit profits from community participation and is now giving the community a big middle finger. The community is responding with virtual activism.

TrendMicro Antivirus has an android QR code scanner app that will tell you if it’s safe before you proceed. I use the Avira QR scanner (but it looks like it’s no longer available). It’s the only way I scan QR codes.

A reverse mortgage is a downright predatory concept.  I’m shocked to see it suggested here.

The slightest pressure will push a sharp knife right through soft foam.  What am I missing here?

I have a similar experience with a similar situation for phones. They seem to work pretty much the same.

But while the article mentions other devices (Nintendo?), when it comes to phones, it definitely leans toward bad iPhone experiences. I suspect the writer has only an iPhone.

Auto-brightness works perfectly about 95% of the time for me.  That 5% of the time that has weird lighting conditions, I just manually adjust it with two swipes.  It seems odd to me that anyone struggles with this excellent feature on modern phones.

Wouldn’t you still just tip on the days you receive housekeeping service?

Tried it. Miserable failure.

Most (all?) commercial carpet deodarizer products are mostly baking soda.  People have been using it for decades on carpets, with no problem.  I suspect the issue now is that weak robot and stick vacuums have become so popular.

This could have been a lot shorter: Credit unions are better in nearly every way for anyone that qualifies to join one. If you have a credit union local to you, and you qualify to join, it’s the superior choice. Period.

Dawn Power Wash.  It’s new spray on dishwashing detergent.  It’s magical.  I think someone made an ill-advised pact with the devil to make it work like it does.

The funny thing is that all of the alternatives to sodium chloride are also salts, just different kinds of salt.

That would actually be one of the legal exceptions that allows the police to enter the house/garage without a warrant. Bad idea.

Yeah, this entire “article” is based on a semantic point, which is fine, but if you’re going to do that, you should avoid all of the other technical inaccuracies in the story.
