I knew someone that was trying to donate eggs. She has a family history of schizophrenia, alcoholism, and cancer. She didn’t believe any of that would be passed on (despite all the research I showed her proving each of those conclusively) so she didn’t bother telling the agency. They did 0 research, they didn’t check…

FYI: I tried downloading one for offline browsing and so I have a local copy in case the server vanishes. March 1952 pdf was 58MB, and took a while to download. The other formats (epub, txt, daisy, mobi) were around 1MB, OCR’d with many (expected) glitches. The torrent file they link to is 116MB. It downloads quickly…

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was coming to the comments to say.

Soylent. For medical reasons I need Soylent for about 1/3 to 1/2 my meals, and it’s just gross un-refrigerated. It’s kinda gross refrigerated, but edible.

My ex had an elegant solution. She just up and moved to China one day. Been there the last 10 years. I’m sure she’s just going through a phase though, and we’ll be together again soon. Maybe she’ll be ready to take it to the next level. right? Right?!?

I don’t know how common a problem this is, but I’m on my second Android phone that has an OS that supports Find My Device, and Google refuses to admit that it’s attached to my account. Every year or so I go through instructions to wipe caches and sign in again, or do some exotic things, but it doesn’t help. The play…

I have to disagree with this post, scarves (or bags) are rather weird and awkward to juggle, at least for me. You can’t toss them from one hand to the other, you have to place them in the air above the other hand. The best thing I think is a standard juggling ball/beanbag. When they hit the ground they don’t roll. If…

I grew up with GERD and now have very vomit-inducing migraines. My favorite container is ziploc bags. They take up no space (several in my car’s glove compartment), and they seal away any smell that might induce the next round.

I’m a little wary of discount tire. The last time I purchased new tires I checked my pressure afterwards. For the record, my car’s door jamb says 30psi max. The tires were 31, 34, 36, and 46psi. There could be an argument that higher pressure is better, but not uneven pressure.

It had been going on for the better part of a week and no motorist was able to see his plates, or the police would have just gone to his house without using the helicopter. The helicopter was able to see him doing it, and follow the motorcycle because of the coloring, but presumable not be able to identify the plates…

“this rider led the “Air-Ops” team and our ground units straight to his house where we were waiting for him.”

I know it’s not the focus of your article, but the USA Today article that you linked to actually discusses MCT oil separately. Everything else I read in the last few days said that coconut oil is bad because of saturated fat and that saturated fat causes high LDL. This implies that MCT oil, a saturated fat, is bad as…

I usually go to Chipotle with my wife and we pay for meals together with a joint credit card. It would be really inconvenient to have a second wallet for joint cash payments or to calculate out individual transactions.

Zip loc bags make an excellent vessel to vomit into. You can contain the mess, and, more importantly, the smell. Sometimes contolling the smell can keep a single vomiting from becoming the exocist.

Mcmaster.com has a really good hanger for $10.70 each. It’s like a thick wire hanger, but it’s strong enough to do pullup on.

I like this idea. One trick I do is to think of a job interview as a rehearsal for the next interview. This does 2 things: I don’t get my hopes up and get crushed because I don’t land the perfect job. I also don’t get really nervous because it doesn’t matter if I fail at the rehearsal.

This is exactly why we have separate accounts. We put a percentage into a joint account for agreed upon expenses (mortgage, insurance, internet...) and everything else is our own to do with as we please. As long as both people are responsible enough to not rack up debt that could affect the other one it totally works.

At one point I tracked every single cent spent for a couple months. I decided it was a huge waste of time. Now I’m very lah-di-day with my account balances. At the end of the month I look to make sure expenses look right (no fraud), and I make sure my total hasn’t gone down from month-to-month. This only works if you…

I had most of those problems solved by doing one thing. I would wake up in the morning, evacuate my bowels, then weigh myself before a shower. Same time of day, I didn’t immediately eat or drink, no clothes weight to consider, I have been emptied, all leading to fairly consistent results.
