Right? I still get paranoid bringing my magnetic-plate-wearing phone (or anything magnetic) close to anything electronic, but so far haven’t found a situation where it messed anything up.

* They might be trying to limit their exposure to screens; some studies show that early use can affect brain development and vision.

Does she read scifi/horror? I may have a free ebook for her.

If you force yourself to process to much information

Biting the bullet and self-publishing a sci-fi novel has boosted my confidence so much. I’m very lucky that so many paved the way before me; there are pretty clear ‘do X early, do Y after a while, do Z for five minutes every day’ steps (although they change a little from year to year).

Ours look just like the OP photo but have no zippers :( I would try cutting them along a seam if the resultant re-stitching wouldn’t look like the handiwork of Dr. Frankenstein.

Can confirm re: chicken thighs, we’ve been doing this freezer-to-slow-cooker thing for months and thighs are both cheaper and better, as long as you break them up an hour or more before eating. Breasts just turn into big pieces of dry meat. Just be sure to brown them in a glass pan for 20 minutes in the oven at 450 F.

Good news, Google says Boston Ferns are okay! You can find more by searching for ‘plantname pets’ or ‘plantname toxic’.

It’s a shame this doesn’t mention whether the plants are pet-friendly. Peace Lillies are beautiful but toxic to cats and dogs. So are ZZ plants.

I’d like to get into making these, but can’t see whipping out a blender at 5 AM. Is there any obstacle to making a week’s worth (chocolate protein powder, bananas, milk, and sweet potatoes*) and freezing it in bottles, then taking one out to thaw overnight in the fridge?

My husband and I each have a little box in our side of the closet, called ‘the wear-again box’. Every laundry day, we take a minute to clear it out, and either launder or put away items in it.

On the advice of commenters on Gizmodo, I tried Clue and like it much better than Ruby. The interface is faster and makes a lot more sense to me.

Agreed. ‘I am the only person who can bring myself happiness’ works sometimes, for some people, but it has a dark underbelly.

It doesn’t have to be your wedding night. If you’ve decided to wait until marriage, I highly recommend doing it the day after your wedding.

The way I first heard it, a carjacker/kidnapper will force their victim to continue driving, but will take their shoes so that they can’t make a break for it. So if a cop sees a pair of people in a car and the driver is without shoes, they might assume it’s a hostage situation.

What I haven’t seen a lot of helpful literature on, though, is what to do once a diagnosis is received. I hope you provide, in true Lifehacker form, a list of steps to try (fingers, egg/small vibrator, etc.) and an emphasis on the importance of arousal, comfort, and lubrication.
