Could not adjudicate between “Barefoot in the Park” and “Seven Samurai”. I could hear its circuits blowing from here!

The 1 good point about this video is the scrambling method (in a good frying pan with a little oil), except that I would recommend a much thinner layer of egg mixture on the pan, and a faster action over medium heat so it doesn’t stick. But don’t add milk or water - they dilute the flavour and texture. The extra yolks

One word: Heavy duty Velcro! Sorted.

Moment of madness: paid £200 ($300) for this Mulberry 8 card wallet 3 years ago and in retrospect I don’t regret it a bit. A pleasure to own and use; beautifully made; the heavily used coin pocket (and British coins are ridiculously heavy) is unworn; the wallet closes nicely even when over-stuffed. I work in civil

Hi Susannah. My pleasure. My wife is Malaysian Hainanese so I have an inside track! : )

It’s a shame that Lifehacker, in many ways so hip and cool, has to survive by endlessly pimping more and more unneccessary, planet-trashing STUFF!!!!

Boring British party food (mini sausage rolls, stuff on toothpicks) suddenly seems a lot more sensible.

This is nonsense. Buy them on a “tree” if you can, pluck the required number, microwave them as-is with a little water for a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper, butter; serve.

I’m so shocked. I’m British and live in the UK but have been a loyal REI customer for years, - happy to pay the transatlantic costs - after a very enjoyable visit to the Seattle store. I love the REI own brand stuff particularly. But I’m really shocked at the apparent creepiness behind the jolly facade.

What’s wrong with using a vacuum cleaner?

Great when a wholly avoidable environmental tragedy tastes nice.

“there’s just something cool about slapping your phone onto your dashboard, and watching it stick in place.”

Or, alternatively, don’t go to crappy theme parks. Go to the beach or take a hike in nature instead.

What about a dehumidifier

Because this is more fun, putting one over on The Man (or L’Homme).

Is Life Hacker trying to help us live better or live lard-arsed? You body is a temple, not a rubbish bin. Crap you take aboard in your twenties and thirties can take decades to lose, if at all.

Syrup coffee was invented in the USA because American coffee is disgusting, Starbucks especially. Good coffee tastes of coffee. No adulteration required.

Unlike many Brits I really love the creativity of American English idioms and welcome their importation. But “As best as I can tell” is new to me and should be denied entry.
