Where I live people tend to be very transient. More than half the homes in my neighborhood are rentals, and about a quarter are people who only stay for a few years. It's a first home kind of neighborhood for people who can't afford to live downtown. So getting to know the neighbors isn't on anyone's agenda. I tried.…

All the claims about how great these are because of how long they last are baseless. How long it lasts depends on the relative humidity in your home and how powerful the output is. A 1 gallon humidifer that lasts 40 hours? That's not a good thing. Right now ours is putting out 8 gallons a day, and sometimes that's not…

I've owned half the ones promoted so far, and this is my favorite. Very efficient. Easy to keep clean. Much better looking in person than in the picture.; was pleasantly surprised. Ours is white; not this beige color like in the product pictures online. Has a nice texture to the plastic and was smaller than I expected…

Does MBTA have the right to use the official MBTA logo? It's straight-up stolen from Stockholm's metro system. The T stands for tunnelbana which is Swedish for "underground". It's called the "T" there too.

I used to think stuff was getting stolen, but turns out, FedEx was occasionally delivering to the wrong address. I would call and they'd be like "we definitely delivered it. Driver said he left it at your front door."

Realized this was happening when a couple times the people who got my package got in contact with me,…

Have you considered you could just spend time reading without the poop smell, then do your fast step-stool poo and be on your way?

Just tried the iPhone 4S, 5, and 6 side by side. Didn't like holding the 6 one-handed. I felt like my hand was going to cramp. Too big! Can't imagine what the 6+ is like...

Let's also not forget, in our sense-of-entitlement culture, that not all of our ideas are good. I myself have discovered, after years in a particular workspace, why ideas I had suggested earlier on were rightfully ignored by my superiors.

I also once worked with someone who had a MILLION ideas to share- ideas about…

How good it is will depend largely on what region you're in. Different regions have different suppliers. In the Northeast it's Newman's Own Organic Blend from Green Mountain Coffee in Vermont) and people around here say it's pretty good. In other regions I know they use Peet's Coffee, Community Coffee, and Gaviña…

Why isn't f.lux standard on all Apple devices (including desktop) already???

Not a hater, yet (except for the 1 in 20 people who are tone deaf) I think we can all agree she's not a great singer. But she's not terrible either, and millions of people connect with her lyrics, melodies, and brand. It is what it is. Enjoy or move on. If powerful live singing coinciding with dancing is important to…

Communism is fine as long as there are no capitalists.

I'm gonna gues she's referring to how dirty HMDs often are- especially on a showroom floor. As someone who was REALLY into VR in the 90s, I can attest these headsets get pretty grimy from everyone's hands and hair and eyelashes and forehead oil; even if you wipe it down after each use, it's kind of gross.

Not getting why everyone thinks she's just trying to sound smart. Have you ever considered that maybe... she's smart?

Regardless, chances are, at her age, she's learning about communism in school (or as part of her traveling for tours) and has had the same thought on the brain many young people have when they learn…

Yep. A Siamese who likes to bite and scratch... er... 'lovingly' when playing.

You know the percentage of the population in the US that has been bitten and scratched to hell by cats? 40%, every fricken day. ;-)

You are doing it wrong. Cats need the litter box cleaned at least once a day. Any vet or cat expert can tell you that. They don't need "walks" but they do need plenty of exercise such as 30 minutes or so of dedicated play time.

Location makes as much a difference as materials, size, etc. In Knoxville, TN the median home sale price is $140,000 which gets you a 1,750 square foot home. Where I live the average sale price is $434,000 which gets you 900 square feet. I asked a remodeling company what it would be to redo our existing and EXTREMELY…

I concur. I have one of those in my American house, and now having become acclimated to it, I absolutely hate even really nice hotel bathrooms. WHERE'S MY F#%$ING SPRITZER?!

I've also done a lot of traveling in Europe in the past decade and stayed in some high end hotels in France and Germany that didn't have shower curtains. Usually instead they had a half or 1/3 glass "wall". Still, water goes EVERYWHERE.
