I use a 'to do' notepad file that I have added to my startup list. So it just pops up everytime i start my computer, since its notepad it opens super fast and its usually staring at me while im waiting for outlook and everything else to get online. The file lives on my desktop so its easily accessible. A…

I also am on a key diet, your keys look like mine - I have a usb drive too - but we're both behind the times - because you can get a usb thats about 1/5th the size of that for just a few bucks. Also - you have a decorative key fob? ... or a bottle opener? seems like a waste if you're serious about this. Also - be…

I have an in-wall air conditioner that I use very little, only in the summer of course (I'm in NY) ... I've been planning something like this for the rest of the year.

Yeah the whole 'squeeze it into an altoids tin' .... i never quite got that. Doesnt have to be that way with everything.

Nicely written. I Lol'ed at "Mommy's code of ethics".

You just got the kid slapped much worse once he got home. Anyone who would hit their kid like that in public, is surely beating the shit out of them at home. If you had an actual impactful way to change their lives and stop it for good... that'd be great - but even if the police were called, the woman wont be…

perhaps that lavatory lock switch hack could be useful in your obnoxious co-passenger revenge tactics. See target go into bathroom. Follow them, unlock their door.... use other bathroom.... snicker as you hear the "HEY! close the door, I'm in here".

Sorry but the length of the flight doesnt matter. I'll doze off on any flight in about 15 minutes (something about the air in a plane)... and if I dont recline my seat slightly my head will be flopping around all over or laying on the shoulder of my neighbor. Recline, just do it carefully and mindfully.

Lol, great story. I love the moral.

Semi-on-topic: I just noticed in some places in my area, google just jumped up the resolution of their streetview significantly. Its very impressive, looks surreal, HDRish.

Nice!

If you're charging a cell phone or any other single small portable device, I cant imagine you have anything that is PULLING more than 1amp maybe 1.5. I dont know how techincal you are - but remember, Amps is what your device pulls. So if you have a charger capable of 2.1 and your device only pulls 1amp... there's…

Good idea. You can probably hack a regular keg style dispenser to fit inside a pumpkin

Cooking fast food - I disagree with this. you're right regarding the cost, you probably cant make a burger cheaper than a dollar. But fast food hash browns have an ingredient list a mile long with preservatives, flavors and all sorts of stuff you dont want/need. For health/quality and control of what goes into it…

I make grilled cheese like a boss. I use mayo instead of butter, tastes very similiar but with just a little bit more flavorful, and it doesnt burn as easily.

+1 I do the same thing. Much smarter than keeping your luggage lying around for weeks. and the ability to just pull up the old list is great. I even have a list for 'things to bring to the beach' - I live on Long Island and go often - but often forget one critcial thing - magazine, sunblock, umbrella, etc..

I counted 28 products in my girlfriend's shower - and she lives alone. After I counted i asked her to guess how many she thought she had, she said 'like ten'. Lol

I dont like how those plastic bins look, but maybe could find something nicer. I hate shampoo and body wash bottles all over the place. I counted 28 products once in my gf's bathtub (and she lives alone). This is smart, also it would help prevent them all being wet all the time and turning all cruddy or forming…

Not a bad idea. Personally, nothing I'd share with neighbors, but for a family its a good idea. Whether its my parents, my sister, myself or another sibling hosting... why should we all keep a stock of a dozen plates and what not. I'm not crazy (stylistically) about the hodgepodge of cheap stuff, maybe for kids…

Maybe the kids who were hungry because they were poor and havent eaten - perhaps the causation is poverty. Maybe the kids who ate the marshmallows were raised on junk food - perhaps junk food is the causation of the poor academics. Maybe the kids who at the marshmallows come from an upbringing who doesnt teach…
