First off, I initially misread the period in this statement as a comma, “at a website full of people I adore. With the exception of Beth Skwarecki...” Damn! Then I reread it and realized my mistake.

I am very sad. I looked forward to your articles more than any others on Lifehacker. Wishing you all the absolute very best.

The problem with the + or . approaches is that a savvy person will simply remove the dots and anything after the plus sign.

The Gmail + trick has unfortunately been around long enough that half the sites now refuse to acknowledge that they are valid email addresses.  

8 corners? So... that’s either a complicated octagon, or... a T or U-shaped plan? I’m guessing the latter (unless there’s more 8-corner plans I can’t think of off the top of my head.)

Fair, but I live in Texas, so for like 8 months of the year it’s a hard pass lol.  Plus, at least in my case, it wouldn’t really work since I stop to pick up a few things on the way to work in the morning that wouldn’t be super bike friendly.

Or you arrive sweaty, tired, windblown and rainsoaked, and that is in summer, and at the end of the day, when you are even more cranky and tired and just longing for the sweet embrace of your bed, you have to cycle all the way back again. Fuck that. There is no way to make that appealing. It doesn’t matter how many…

IMO the willingness to bike to work hinges on 2 things, distance and weather.  I live in the south even IF I lived close enough to bike to work, which I mean technically at 4.5 miles I could if I was in better shape, about 8 months out of the year its a hard pass because it’s to damn hot and humid.  I would rather not…

I have to chuckle because the article is about aeration, but the photo used shows a tool for de-thatching your lawn (and a pile of thatch). Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I’m wondering if you are underestimating the interest that readers have in a little mind calisthenics to help pass the day. Do you not remember the popularity of wordle? Especially considering you play sudoku everyday. I’m sorry if The New York times is somehow beneath you but most people (100% totally clinical…

people said the same thing when the Army Air Corps was spun off into the Air Force.

It was a stupid idea to separate the Air Force from the “Space Force”. They share the same basic mission. This was done solely to please a clown. 

“Heads Up” display implies image projection onto the inside surface of the windshield.

This.

So giraffes are brown with white stripes?  Not white with brown spots?  Interesting.

This is 100% dependent on your location.  Rye grass overseeding is a couple months away (hopefully) in Arizona.

Here in Mississippi we haven’t had any measurable rain in nearly two months and we are still in a heat wave. Now is not a good time to seed your lawn here either...

In the midwest, we’re having a heck of a heatwave. We’ve been under heat advisory for 3 days, and it’s been extended til tomorrow.
