Even though it’s not entirely rational, there’s something slightly distasteful and/or uncomfortable about the idea of used clothing for some people. Clothing is quite personal. It touches our bodies. It’s how we express our personalities. It can even be a repository for memories and spark feelings of nostalgia.

I’ve been using this for a long time. I assume I first learned of it right here on Lifehacker. I rely on it quite heavily. I find that I never notice that one last thing until I hit ‘Print’, Send’ or ‘Publish’. I’m sure I’ll be back to this comment to edit it seconds after I hit the button.

I think Microsoft has been doing good stuff lately but that they still often bungle their PR.

If it’s not clear by this point, I have little or no issue with what you meant to say, but just had a minor quibble with how you said it. As I said above, if you had said something like “you sometimes need to go back and reread things. You occasionally need to take breaks to mull over the details”, I think it would…

I often re-watch movies. I often re-read books. But Kristen’s not talking about re-watching or re-reading. She’s talking about the process the first time through, and all I’m commenting on is the lack of qualification in her statement. If she had said “you sometimes need to go back and reread things. You occasionally n…

I’d be nuts to suggest that nobody ever reads fiction that way or that it’s abnormal, of course. I was merely commenting that to say that you “need” to read fiction that way seemed like a bit of an overstatement.

To say that “[y]ou need to go back and reread things” and that ”[y]ou need to take breaks to mull over the details” seems like a bit of an overstatement. I almost never do that with fiction, and I hardly think I’m alone. Do you watch movies that way too?

Sleep Cycle for IOS does this as well.

The Hue bulbs are perfect. I’ve gone from dragging myself out of bed at 8 to springing out of bed at 5:45. They never wake me when they first come on and I almost always wake before my alarm.

Despite the assertion that “[s]anding is universally everyones [sic] least favorite DIY job”, I actually enjoy sanding a lot of the time, especially when it’s the finishing touch that perfects a project, but perhaps I’ve been spoiled by relatively quick and satisfying sanding jobs. I have a house full of varnished…

This article just saved me $24/year with 30 seconds of effort.

Flattering. Thanks!

I just noticed that tactic a few months ago myself. Not a Canadian grocery store by any chance, was it?

To be fair, I’m really responding not just to your comment, but to a whole class of comments like this. Yours wasn’t even the worst of its kind in this thread and certainly wasn’t deserving of the snark level of my my comment, so I apologize for that. I’ve just been noticing a lot of comments of the “I can’t imagine a…

I don’t understand why anybody would use something that I don’t think I’d find useful. Aren’t the range of usage scenarios I can come up with in the time it takes to make a comment all the usage scenarios possible? Isn’t everyone exactly like me? Help! My imagination is being strangled by a solipsistic conception of…

I do it too. I can’t comment on the appetite aspect, since I tend not to be hungry in the morning anyway (one of the reasons I was attracted to IF), but the natural caloric reduction from simply reducing that window of intake is definitely helpful. If I tried to eat the same food in an 8-hour period that I would have…

It looks like the right thing to me. The abstract says that they found that two days without food (a relatively short fast, although long by IT standards) “...led to considerable alterations in basal metabolism including a significant (mean 3.6%) increase in resting metabolic rate.”

Hmmm. I just 10 minutes ago signed up for a three-month trial subscription to Spotify for $0.99.

In the past I’ve used a food journal/calorie counting approach. It worked well and made me pay much more attention to what was going into my body and allowed me to learn a lot, but it required a routine that I sometimes fell out of, which created difficulties, and although I made much of that routine into small, easy…
