OK, though light is an enemy of oil and brown glass is best. Probably not a big deal if you use it so fast that you’re wanting to put it in a bottle that big!

I had mild tinnitus for years until I noticed that it was worse whenever I drive any significant distance — in my convertible. Have since read that top down driving is a common cause. Headphones and foam plugs help but that’s not legal. Mildly-isolating earplugs (still illegal but not as hazardous) or a scarf or hat…

Noob question: If I use a VPN, does it cover my whole connection (all devices in the house)? How is it set up — at the router, at each device?

No. Microwaves are absorbed only by water and right-sized bits of metal. And the metal tends to cause unpredictable hot spots. It will probably burn portions of the card. Not likely to destroy the information in an effective way and might cause a minor hazard.

Not a parent, are you? It happens in a tenth of a second.

“Priceless” is an aesthetic assessment; insurance amounts are in earthly currency terms.

In the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, my then-four-year-old nephew suddenly bolted and ran up to a Rothko and put a big old juicy baby paw on it. The guard went into full shock. No damage, happily. Except maybe to his Dad’s underwear.

Anything that keeps it away from pizza gets my approval.

Rather GE-centric story here but still, elegant version of a technology story.

LOL. Probably not. At this point, your argument with him is probably more about winning. But at least he will be aware.

True, if you imagine that clarity is the job of a set of rules. But clarity is the writer’s job and everyone knows the rules are incomplete and have exceptions.

Powdered pudding mix to make creme brûlée? Oh, Jeff, how far you have fallen. That’s sad.

I lost half a pound typing this reply.

When working with kids, if they want a soft drink, my answer is always yes (assuming their parents allow it) but they have to calculate the sugar. We do that together (Googling the grams per teaspoon) and later I test them to confirm they got it. 9-12 teaspoons per 12-ounce soft drink.

The book shown at the top of the article, “Stuff Matters” is awesome. The review I wrote on Amazon:

Yes, it supports Stringify.

OIC! Thank you.

Hmmmmm. I tried this and do not see how to add another action.

How do I get it to do more than one thing? For instance, I can now say, “Alexa, turn on TV” and it does (using the Harmony Remote skill); and “Alexa, turn TV room lights on” and it does that. But I want to say, “Alexa, watch TV” and have it do both things. I don’t see a way to do that and even IFTTT doesn’t allow a…

Interesting question. According to several credible sources, it looks like: Mostly no.
