The whole floor of my office can hear when I sneeze, sometimes ppl come and look to see who sneezed and they are stunned to see that it was a tiny 110 lbs woman. Are you telling me there's money in loud explosive sneezes?

New Tab Redirect It let's YOU decide what page will open in a new tab, instead of that annoying page with your most visited sites. You used to be able to change that in the advanced settings, but then they removed that option, such dick move on their part. I can not for the life of me understand why they insist on…

I'm super nice and polite to customer services, I often get free stuff like three months of free cable etc. My dad is rude as hell to customer services, they often tell him to go eff himself (they phrase it differently though) and he is often left with his issues unresolved. Then I have to call and sort everything out…

I think ppl should get over their IE hate. I get that all the cool kids hated microsoft years ago, but that was years ago. Tech ppl are supposed to be early adapters, always trying new things, which makes it so ridiculous that they still nurse their MS hate. There are a lot of things wrong with chrome, this is just…

An annoying woman at my work (we live in a european country) is always, constantly whining about the price of food, even though we apparently don't pay that much compared to other most europeans. Then she's shocked when there are pictures in the newspapers about the horrific conditions of factory farmed animals.…

I love DIY project! Or rather, I love reading about them and pretending I'm a person who does these thinga. More DIY on Lifehacker, please! One thing though, the canopy i #5, won't any rain just pool in the middle? Add a bar in the middle and two extra poles to create a tent-shape so that the water runs off, instead…

That's great, but how do you pronounce 'Tolkien'? (Or 'Reuel' for that matter?)

Not every cantaloupe will have the exact same concentration of allergen

They don't absorb pollen, pollen are huge. All fruits, however, contain the same kind of allergen as their pollens. So if you're allergic to cantaloupe pollen, you will be allergic to the fruit too. You need to get to certain levels of exposure to get an allergic reaction though, so a little cantaloupe could be fine,…

Also, for the love of GOD, make sure they don't leak noise if you plan on using them on public transport, in libraries etc.

I have a doctor friend who advises her patients with panic attacks to go for a run when they feel one coming on, or just worry that they are going to have a panic attack (because worrying about panic attacks often triggers them). Like really run, not jog. There are lots of reasons why it works for panic attacks, and…

On another sub-blog (or whatever these things are called) there was a post with a click-baity headline that was factually wrong, and the author removed all comments about the headline. Even the ones who weren't in any way rude and were just trying to explain the subject were purged, but the ridiculous headline stayed.…

Sweden doesn't force fathers to take parental leave, but you get X number of days that the parents can use however they want, and Y number of days (I think two months, but I'm not sure) that only the father/partner can use. If he/she doesn't use them they are lost and gone forever. You can use the parental days until…

I've a true crime-show about one rancher who did that. Maybe your grandma knew him?

I don't understand how he will ever be able to end the series. He's built an entire world, he can't just leave it, and destroying it to get closure is such a cliché.

Switch places on the router or the computers to see if the problem is in the cable or the computer. If it's the cable, get a new one. Make sure there's no junkware or malware on your wife's computer. I have no idea what the second could be

Well that was a bust. Are there any similar bookmark apps/extensions?

He really does look like he's smelling a fart

I love Duolingo!! It is the perfect app for me, the method fits me like glove. I would however like to learn more grammar. Not like the difference between "affect" and "effect", but syntax etc. I want to learn and understand grammatical terminology. I looked up "gerund" on wikipedia and came across this: "A gerund…
