A few years ago when I moved to a new town with a couple of friends, one of them signed up for a new grocery card at a store near us. I asked if I could have one of their keyring cards since they didn't need two, and even though I've moved far away from that place, I still have that keyring card and use it regularly.…

Whether you need a new wardrobe for your job or you're just trying to dress a little better, we all need new clothes from time to time. But if you're willing to wait a bit and monitor the stuff you want, you can almost always get it for much cheaper. At almost any store, clothing will go on sale at the end of a given…

It depends on the agreement your school has with DreamSpark / Microsoft Academic Alliance. For example, my .edu with my university for my undergrad only got me a few things, while my enrollment in a community college as a current student gets me pretty much the full selection including Windows 8, 8.1, all of the…

It's Evil Week, sir, Evil Week. A good deal of the articles on Lifehacker during Evil Week are well, Evil or at least tongue-in-cheek "evil."

It's pretty clear that Evil Week isn't about giving legitimate or even nice advice to readers, it's about entertainment and fun. Have you never thought it might be neat to learn to pick locks or hack computers, just because it would be fun, not because you want to go out and commit crimes or do anyone harm? And also,…

Actually, government taxes, high usage by unhealthy members or those with unmanaged chronic conditions, and price gouging by medical providers to cover all the people who don't pay them or to whom they give discounts because they don't have insurance is the reason insurance premiums are so expensive. As a nation, we…

And I have a single knob for hot/cold that you turn left or right to adjust temperature and lift to turn on. I've also seen versions of the same type of knob that turn on by turning left and then the temperature just goes up from there (constant pressure I guess, no adjusting there).

To top that off, I have one of…

I never use a full tube and always have half empty left-overs. I found that by sticking a golf tee in the open tip, it keeps the contents fresh and I don't need to clean the tip when I use it on another project. The advantage of using a golf tee is that it's tapered and fits in the tip of the tube no matter how wide I…

Gotta love all the people who don't understand what Evil Week is all about, despite the blurb at the bottom of every one of the articles.

It's an Evil Week post, in the spirit of Halloween and fun. Even if you don't do these things, it can be fun to read about - like when you watch a movie that has crime or an awesome action sequence. Sure, you don't personally plan to rob a bank or blow something up, but it's entertaining.

This article does, however, mention that you're using Amazon as cheap storage basically and getting some cash, and giving someone else a deal, so you can do the math. If you've got a *lot* of stuff to sell / clean out, it may be cost effective to use the $39 per month option rather than say, paying for a storage unit…

Looks like Adam wrote some good instructions a while back about it.

It's almost like I said exactly "(which, for security reasons - you ought to disable)" - thanks for reading with comprehension.

Awesome! That's what I try to do too. I tell people I am busy, I do have a lot on my plate, but if I can't help them I'll try to either schedule the time right then or find someone who can help them.

That sounds like either people are really timid or feel unimportant to be bugging you, or there's a culture of that going around at your workplace. Do you complain a lot about getting a lot of superfluous emails? Or maybe others do? I can't always get to others right away, but I feel like where I work people always…

I don't know how you identify business travelers by sight unless you mean people too lazy / comfortable / or time restrained to change before a flight out. I always look like my homebody disheveled self when I travel for business, and I change upon arrival or before I go back to the airport to leave. I try to spot the…

Similar, but the steps were taken outward, like if there were a spill on the ground, and you were trying to hop around it. Your toes point more outward from your body almost like they're trying to turn sideways outward. You'd step right almost like you're taking an abrupt turn right except then you step back the other…

Walking in the woods, unless you're stamping around, being a heel striker versus shifting your weight back and forth like this isn't going to make any difference since the ground doesn't have a lot of give or reverb (unless you're in a valley with a lot of echo).

As a diabetic type 2, I'd really like some clarification on Carbs altogether from someone knowledgeable and reputable. I've recently read a lot about low-carb diets being good for controlling blood sugar. I've been following these guideline for about a week now, incidentally with some success:

This is absolutely the same problem I had. My old job came in at hardly enough for one person plus debt payback, much less two. I got a new job that pays almost 20k a year more as of 2 years ago, so you'd think if my expenses stayed the same I'd be out of debt pretty quickly, right? Even though since then I've added a…
