NEVER buy anything from stackcommerce which is Lifehacker’s fullfilment provider. These are half the price on Amazon right now.

Actually, both the local CostCo, Target, and Walmart were out of bleach, isopropyl alcohol, or peroxide as well as facial tissues, toilet paper, and paper towels.

My mom loaned me money for a downpayment for my condo. I had a lawyer friend draw up a promissory that followed her payment schedule and loan rate. When I sold that place, I paid her back in full. That’s the way it should be.

I have 10.13.6 and “--fetch-full-installer” isn’t a valid option for software update.

The one place I found where a specific degree or number of equivalent units was required was when I applied for a DevOps role at a local city government. They said my degree 30 years ago wasn’t valid as it wasn’t in computer science and my 20+ years of experience weren’t enough to be considered for the job. That…

That makes so much sense. I know recruiters are essentially sales people trying to sell me on applying for a gig.

There’s another case where you can request a refund: You can “revoke acceptance of the sale”. I heard of this on a podcast about buying RVs and the attorney said that if you buy anything in the US, both the seller and the buyer are covered under the UCC Sec 2, Paragraph 207 regarding terms of acceptance for a sale.…

Why would you post a picture of a beer in a dirty glass?  Following LH’s guidelines on how to tell, the bubbles should stick to the sides. That glass is filthy.  Guess it was OK for the photo shoot.  But hire a food stylist next time.

I know a couple adults who are anti-vaxxers. One believed that taking garlic and gargling with salt water dealt with her strep throat. That’s fine for an adult immune system but if a kid is exposed to the airborne measles virus, chances are they’ll get it, regardless of the amount of gargling they do.

I’d love to see the IRS require vaccination paperwork (proof of medical exemption but no personal belief exemptions allowed) for ALL claimed dependents on federal tax returns.

I tried posting reviews of the variety of products I’ve purchased. Most were satisfactory, but a few were things like “arrived broken—returned” or “stopped working after 3 months. Contacted seller but got no response.” Amazon wouldn’t let me post those reviews.

If you want it to save your sessions between Browser cruft cleanup, I found you do. OneTab’s saved browser sessions would be wiped if I cleaned up Chrome’s 1.5GB of cruft from a week’s worth of browsing. The SaveSession extension of Firefox doesn’t have that problem.

I was very specific about a return for a defective product my 80yo mom purchased at LAMPS-R-US. The store manager and sales associate more or less told my mom she was out of luck because the lamp she purchased 4 months ago broke and they wouldn’t fix it or replace it because she didn’t have the store receipt.…

I bought this based on this review. I figured for $20, what could go wrong. Well, I didn’t get much for my $20. The developer never responded to my emails about issues. It only seen 1 upgrade in a year, and I’ve had to re-enter my license code monthly since it can’t seem to “remember” it.

I know if something is “free”, then I’m the thing being sold. The Toby account tracks what you save and keep on their servers. Nice, but it gives marketers a view to what’s important to Toby’s users. That’s none of their business, so into the trash this goes.

I stopped buy Audible books once they switched from downloadable copies to a streaming model. I use my phone just as a phone which means if my ipod isn’t near a good WiFi, I can’t listen to their stuff any more.

I’ve owned Matias keyboards for many years. The last reliable one was the Matais II, which is no longer in production. Since then, I’ve gone through at least three of the current model and 2 of the “Quiet Pro” models. What happened? The keyboards would start double typing characters or dropping a character altogether.…

In a flotation tank, there’s enough epsom salts dissolved in the water to change it’s specific gravity. So even those of us that can’t lay back and float can float. It’s those visions when you’ve dosed with LSD that will turn you into a Neanderthal.

I think a bot is scoring all this stuff.

From the book, the backstory of ALTERED CARBON’s main character is very Horatio Algerish—boy in trouble joins the military to get off the streets. Only in the book, he’s selected to be part of the Protectorate’s shock troops to put down any fomenting colonial rebellion. Ultimately, he leaves the military and isn’t…
