I have the Netgear AC1900, and it's great, but... it's bigger than a Labrador.

I'm going to have this comment framed.

My advice on how to always be interesting:

Drinking is really the ultimate lifehack. "How Do You Take the Agony Out of [Anything] and Make It Fun?" You do what Adam says, and then you add alcohol.

I like listening to podcasts not only because it makes the chore less boring but also because it makes me feel less bad about the time I'm spending.

Ah. Thank you, gentlemen, for helping a naïf unlock the mysteries of the Kinja-verse.

Could someone kindly explain to me what this means? I've been posting on Kinja for a few weeks now and have just about figured out how it works... but am still not sure how what Whitson did here differs from him posting directly on the main feed.

Does anyone else remember Meebo? After Google acquired it, not only did development stop, it disappeared completely. It was the best web instant messaging client available, and I've never found anything else that's half as good.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a Haswell motherboard, you won't be able to install Lion on it (because Haswell didn't exist when Lion came out). However, if you already have a Mac, you can download Mavericks and create a USB boot drive that will let you do a clean install of Mavericks.

I'm a Mac developer, so I own real Macs, but my Hackintosh has saved my skin a bunch of times. If you own, say, a 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, the oldest version of OS X you can install on it is Mountain Lion. If you need to test an app in Lion or Snow Leopard, you're out of luck. And bugs that don't appear on one version…

There is nothing more noticeable than a mid-snore awake, apart from perhaps a fart during a moment of silence.

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

Could this be... an allegory?

Makes sense. I have a Neato but never let it inside my office because of all the things it could knock down in there. Somebody - me? - should write a guide on how to get stuff off the floor and on the wall (or on shelves, in cabinets, etc).

That's a great idea. Because I have OCD tendencies, I'm terrified of putting holes on my wall that I can't easily undo, but clearing up floor space is a noble end in itself.

If you have a guitar - or any musical instrument other than a recorder - buy a stand and put it where you can see it instead of leaning it against a wall in the corner of a room.

I'd like to add one more piece of advice. Never, ever do this:

I was uncomfortable with speed reading for a long time, but...

Ah! All of the pictures they used are kind of hilarious - especially the one for "Mimic Others to Understand Their Emotions":

I assume the picture here was not a stock photo... Nicely done.
