I think this point is important enough to warrant an update to the post if you find the time.

If you’ve been doing your own Windows installations for years, you’ve probably learned the value of a clean install rather than an upgrade, but with each new version, the advantages lessen. That’s especially true of the Win 10 upgrade, which, although not without hiccups for some, seems to be an impressively smooth…
Thanks, Whitson. This is the kind of timely and useful information I have come to expect from Lifehacker and from you in particular. I gather you’re busy with new responsibilities these days and can’t write as much, but I’ve often found your posts the most useful and I’ve found Lifehacket just a touch less rewarding…
A marriage is more than just a symbolic event. It is, in fact, a legal contract between two people. It just makes sense to me that people getting married would want some say in the details of that contract, creating a marriage that is right for them, not just a one-size-fits-all solution foisted upon them by default.
If you don’t like cold, don’t visit Montreal in February either.
Here’s a book you might like.
I was just curious enough to click a link but not quite curious enough to install an app. It wasn’t much friction, but it was enough to put me off, so JamesT’s tip made the difference between checking out Inbox and continuing to ignore it (at least until the next Lifehacker article, which I’m sure will be posted…
Yes, that works. Thanks!
You seem to have to install it on your phone (or tablet) before you can use the web version. If you don’t have the app installed, the link you pasted leads to a page that says “Download Inbox on your phone to activate your account before using Inbox on the web.”
This is not the first time I’ve seen the suggestion (on Lifehacker and elsewhere) that picking out clothing is draining. Personally, it takes me about 60 seconds every day and I can detect no drain on my will or mental energy. (And I actually enjoy clothing and have more of it than I need, albeit mostly casual…
It’s true that bones don’t weigh a enough for being “big-boned” to make much of a difference in your weight, but not all people’s bones are the same and it can affect the shape of your body. It’s one of the reasons the bodies in the illustration above differ while having the same BMI. It’s perfectly reasonable that…
My first statement is meant to be an exaggeration. It is not intended to be fair. It is intended as a parody.
The reason your life sucks is because you suck. So stop doing that.
I’ve had a similar experience.
I think there’s an underlying principle here that can be expanded beyond things for which you pay money.
Exactly. That’s why creating more distance with a more impersonal sales mechanism like ebay strikes me as a good idea.
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…
