I assumed so.

As usual Chara shows admirable restraint in not pummeling someone when he could have. 

I was glad to see this post as I’d been thinking that these people are getting a lot of help! My wife gave up her career as a teacher in order to stay home and be a mom for our kids. That’s our privilege, as not everybody can afford to get by on one income, especially in Southern California. But it’s a significant…

Sugru seems to get all kinds of hype and praise, but in my experience it’s not all that. After a few months it becomes stiff and brittle, at which point it breaks. Couple examples: I made a headset hook for my desk, and it broke. I put some sugru around the bathtub spout to reduce the chances of my kids getting cut if…

Agree with Paul N...I'm all in as far as not losing it with your kids, keeping calm, etc. But I'm confused about how you're setting boundaries if you say punishing doesn't work. Punishment in the sense of yelling and hitting, right, no good. But punishment in terms of removing benefits like TV watching? If you don't…

Way back when I used to use the Journal facility to track all kinds of things. You mention that this has been deprecated...but what is replacing it?

@sp1nz1, no doubt your point is valid. Timing and knowing people are truly keys to getting a job. But degrees still matter, especially at big companies. You won't even get past the HR screener.

I'm in a position where I review resumes and interview people from time to time. I just toss resumes from people without a 4-year degree. So these people are getting "turned down" but they don't really know why. The point is not that you need a degree in a specific field, although that helps. It's more that a degree…

So true. Often it's the journey as much as the destination. Some of us like to fiddle with things to make them better. The answer to, "why are you doing that?" is "because I can."

I see these desktops in Lifehacker and think they look cool. But how much time do you spend looking at your desktop? Don't you have apps open that cover the desktop?

While many people purchase a washer and dryer by the same manufacturer there is nothing that says you need to do this. Find the best washer for you and the best dryer for you. We bought a Frigidaire washer and LG dryer a few years ago and have been very happy with both.

You can do complex things with Tasker but I'm a fan of simpler tasks. I have a task to silence my phone when it's placed face down, which is useful in meetings. Another announces the sender of a text message. And another announces the title of a calendar reminder when the reminder goes off, which I find more useful…

You car has a cassette player?

A Logitech Harmony Link. This is an infrared remote blaster that connects to your wireless network. The idea is that with this in place you can use your iOS or Android device as a remote from anywhere. Sounds cool, but there are two problems. First, you have to set this thing somewhere where it has a clear view of…

I think a multiple answer option is needed here. Nobody really concerned with data loss is going to rely entirely on one of these options. Personally I use a combination of Dropbox and a home NAS.

Yep, same for me. Plus the fact that over the air reception where I live is terrible and thus not an option.

This whole article is just an ad for the guy's book (link to amazon helpfully placed at the end). Why I'd want to read a whole book of this stuff, which boils down to "lie when you think you can get away with it and give big tips for good service," is beyond me.

Can I Stream It? sounds great but when I try it I get this: "There's been an error with your request. Please try again later. Email support@canistream.it for support."
