I like Lifehacker, but I hate how often I’m disappointed to find that instead of reading something that I’m interested in I’m directed to a video that I don’t want to watch.

My first thought was “Isn’t this exactly the same description as PlugShare?”

uh, plugshare and recargo both already do this and have been for quite some time...why should i download this new app to do something existing apps already do quite well?

How much energy was consumed making (plus boxing, shipping, stocking, delivering) the power strip that you bought so you wouldn’t consume 0.3W?

Assuming all the devices consume an average of .05 watt hours, and that I put my decimal places in the right spots:

You are looking at around 440 MWh annually for a billion devices which sounds like a lot.

It’s mind blowing how many people after watching Marty start the gas engine with a key (and it frequently failing to start), hearing the gas engine running very audibly, and seeing Marty shifting fucking gears they still think the car runs on electricity just because of that sentence.

Actually, in states like Ohio and Michigan, signs are posted to that effect. Keep Right Except When Passing or close to that wording. But people being who they are and thinking there is no one on the road but them, they get in the left lane and do 65 on a 70 mph expressway. So people start passing on the right and one…

“There’s a moral order to driving, and when we see people break those rules, we get upset.”

Thank you. Cycling appliances will save power if you miss a few cycles, even if you have to ramp up more.

Or maybe it’s not, and he should have reviewed the law and/or gone to court. Just because a cop cites you does NOT mean you are guilty!

FALSE this is the best water bottle ever, one handed operation, holds a good volume and it fits in a cup holder.

This is a common MYTH and can confirmed by a Physics 101 class - there is an upper and lower limit to how hot or cold your house can get based on the outside temp and your insulation factor; it doesn't get progressively colder down to infinity the longer that the heater is off unless you are gone for literally days or…

One of the greatest water bottles ever (in my opinion). One handed operation means you can easily hydrate on the go by the simple push of a button (trigger). There is also a handy clip that allow you to hang your water bottle from your backpack or gym bag for secure transportation (no leaking inside your bag…

The Contigo autoseal water bottle is the best, for sure. http://www.amazon.com/Contigo-AUTOSE…

Right. Keep in mind that Southwest allows every single passenger to check two complimentary bags, so they have more checked bags than other airlines since those charge fees to some passengers (other passengers are comp'd baggage fees for status, because they have the airline credit card, or have them bundled in with…

I really hate the trend of putting everything into video form, or worse, just linking to other people's videos, and not giving us any sort of text-based summary. I don't have the time/patience to watch 5-10 minute videos to get one answer. If I want a video, I won't be searching here/on Google, I'll be looking on…

Thank you very much for actually summing up the video! It makes the articles here more useful as they are now searchable, as well as useful to persons at work, without access to headsets/speakers.

I think this only works to a point. For starters, having zero savings is a terrible idea. At the very least, keep a healthy emergency fund so that if something goes wrong, you're not dead in the water. It's okay to lose money in interest to save that money.

I think this might actually be one of those "keystone" habits, the ones that cause a chain reaction. Eating more vegetables can lead to eating less processed foods and sugar
