DAL to Milwaukee, make it a triple. Doubly so for Omaha. If you are going to a place that sucks then medicate appropriately.

I guess my view is that even a few drinks leaves me feeling crappy the rest of the day and sleep terribly, so why would I sign up for that just to subtly cover up the mild unpleasantness of a plane flight? I guess if I drank more then 2-3 drinks wouldn’t have such an effect on me. But I suspect a lot of people that…

I agree, there’s a difference between “I’m going to have fun and loosen up” vs. “Well...god forbid I read a book or sit alone with my thoughts for 2 hours, let’s get tipsy”. The fact that so many commenters are normalizing that is exactly what I find troubling/odd.

I generally try not to judge people, I don’t really care if people drink, but I do care when you have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. I don’t drink and my wife doesn’t drink, my extended family are mostly non-drinkers. My wife and I agreed for our wedding that we weren’t going to provide alcohol and since our…

Agreed, alcohol culture is pretty out of control. It’s kind of ironic that it’s taboo to talk about judging alcohol drinkers when judging other people for things has basically become normal society these days. I haven’t consumed alcohol in a solid 10 years and even before that it was an EXTREME rarity, and I feel like…

“Hi. My name is Gawkfugee, and I can’t go 3 hours without drinking.”

I fly a good bit and drink a good bit, and I’m always amazed by the people hitting the booze on a 8am flight. If we were going to Vegas, it’d be one thing, but 8am to Omaha or Milwaukee, what are you going to do then?

I drink occasionally but these Lifehacker posts on alcohol (and being on airplanes myself) make me feel like a straight up Mormon. Sorry...ahem...Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Y’all are drinking way too much. Guys on the 8am flights are ordering double vodka sodas...society has largely…

Some of that change threatens people.

Honestly I dont get all the hate for Musk. Yeah he says and does some pretty questionable things, but you cant argue with the fact that he really does try to change the world for the better. 

Lol, I had a Spark EV; the hard plastic pizza cutters they used as tires were half the fun of driving that 400 lb/ft golf cart like a lunatic! You could spin the tires at like 25 mph!

Yes, my Spark EV overruns its tires easily. If it’s cheap end of lease, I’d get better rubber.

...And opportunistic parasites.

For a quick fix, say for something burnt and smoking, wet a dish cloth with vinegar and spin it at high speed around your head to disperse tiny drops of vinegar to glom onto smoke to precipitate it out of the air and to neutralize stink.

The slightly longer version: Most scented molecules contain a functional group like an amine (putrescine, for example, one of the rotting smells), a thiol (ethanethiol, i.e. skunk smell), or other non-carbon molecules. Acetic acid can bind these to form molecules that your nose cannot detect, thus eliminating the…

I don’t know about that...but it IS information I have never heard before and sounds DAMN USEFUL to help us rid our house of doggy odor.

I do this a lot during the long MN winter when we can't open the windows. Usually squeeze a half of a lemon in to it and sometimes add a rosemary sprig.

This is probably the best advice I’ve read on Lifehacker ever. Ever.

Vinegar is about 90% water and about 5-10% acetic acid. From what I understand, the acid in vinegar is strong enough to affect and alter organic molecules in the air (what usually makes things stink in a home) while being weak enough that it can’t be harmful to anyone (we can eat it and drink it just fine). There will…

Be careful with delicate plants. I made a balsamic vinegar reduction that way and discovered that the leaves of a couple of houseplants had been damaged, presumably by the acidic vapor in the air.
