This could have been written gender inclusive. I’m guessing there are both male, female and queer parents who did not have adequate or good parents themselves and I don’t think the advice is very gender specific.

I did not mean for my reply to come across as angry. What I meant was that people should take these types of advice and reflect on why they would implement it. It seems you have done that, so kudos!

I am counting weeks until I leave my workplace for a different pasture. After several years of cleaning the fridges on a monthly (and voluntary) basis, I stopped two months ago because I have simply become exhausted with the place.

I’m a receptionist (day job, not my dead ass career) and am REALLY thrilled with this workplace since the reception area is downstairs and offices up. Kitchenette on each floor. The downstairs one can get destroyed by clients - but at least I am not tasked with cleaning up after my coworkers - or at least cleaning up…

I’ve been considering getting a landline. I think it’s most important for those with children, in case of emergencies. Emergency calls from mobile phones can take longer, and if the caller can’t identify where they’re at (like if a young child is calling) then finding your location is harder and take extra time. I…

I ported my landline to MagicJack and turned the ringer off. That way we still have a house phone to use (for the kids mostly). It goes to my Google Voice for voicemail. That’s what we give out at stores, etc. I never give my cell number out except to friends and really important places, like the kids’ school and…

My best friend’s son died in a house fire at college (day before Thanksgiving) - I found out when his friends started posting on his FB page.

My mom’s Mohs surgery at 65 left her with half a nose. Looking like a raisin is one thing; losing a strip of your forehead to rebuild your face in four procedures is another.

It would never occur to me to think of texting as a solid parenting tool, and it still doesn’t occur to me. This is a terrible idea.

I want AR that puts nameplates over people so I can actually remember names.

Funny I am a local here and been reading lifehacker for many years, mainly was digging into the workspace pics from people and hack my own ones here and there.

That’s how we did it back in the day in Texas, too. Except we called it ‘tanning oil’. Skin cancer hadn’t been invented yet.

You sure went pedal to the metal on that edgy reply.

Just counted, 212 on my desktop, 116 on my surface pro 3 in chrome, 34 in edge, 68 on my phone, 90 on my pixel c, and four on my Chromebook tablet, although one of them is hosting a mosh session which is connected to an AWS instance and running a tmux with 5 splits.

Az As Azteks go, that’s really not a bad looking one.

Call them while in line. Ideally while in line at their customer service desk rather than at the gate.

It helps to know your geography.

How can you tell. Have you ever seen them together?

Spray on sunscreens are currently under FDA review in regards to their effectiveness. Seems that lotions are being favored now over this type for a number of reasons:

You know what’s also expensive? Skin cancer. The average annual cost for skin cancer was $8.1 billion during 2007-2011. A bottle of sunscreen that costs $12 and lasts three days might seem expensive, but there are also people that spend more than that amount of money on coffee and restaurants during the same time…
