I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve traveled for work since I was 19, so that’s 40 years of work and pleasure travel. I *always* check my bag. I’m not going to be encumbered by carrying the equivalent weight of a child through an airport. And in the two cases when my luggage was delayed, it was found and brought to my…

Wait a minute - now that I think about it, aren’t you prohibited from using your cell phone in immigration? How is that supposed to work? 

You’re gonna talk about gooning and not mention poppers?

I used to travel weekly for work (over 25 years). Airport lounges were my solace from the crowds, the children, the noise. Then I started noticing they became increasingly more and more populated. Some airports featured my favorite amenity: The Silent Room — a room where talking in person or on your phone wasn’t…

as an aside, the Lifehacker Shop is perhaps the most confusing and awful ecommerce site I’ve seen in a while. Aside from clicking the sale links above, there is no way to navigate to this deal from within the Shop. Does that mean there are other secret deals in there? The under “Customer Favorites”, not a single item…

The Vertical Mandolin is the only way to go for those of us who have been sliced by the ancient mandolins. I’ve had one for 3 years and it’s safe enough for a child to use.

Actually, Facebook (Meta) hired a firm to smear TikTok about the “stupid challenges”. Many of these challenges never existed and several of the harmful ones were actually started on Facebook. Zuckerberg couldn’t buy TikTok so he’s spending millions to destroy it in the hopes that all of those people will flock back to…

It’s my understanding that the data centers are here in the US. Owned by Oracle - an American company.

This article literally states that the diet/exercise thing is not a substitute for medication. One is biology, one is psychology. 

If Prozac isn’t working for you, tell your healthcare provider and try another medication.

I’m that guy who watches an animated movie with absolutely no idea (or care) who the voice actor is. As long as the story is captivating and the acting is good, I don’t care if it’s Maya Rudolph or Mary Nobody. In fact, I sorta wish that animated films gave more no-name actors a chance to establish themselves.

That…

Let’s unpack these headlines:

1) “You Really Need to Set Up Shortcuts on Your Mac”

Being raised Italian, and having my mother make fresh sauce every Sunday, this hurts my soul.

Of course there is olive oil. (Anyone who would try to make sauce with butter wouldn’t be allowed in a kitchen. Ever. Seriously. Never.) The canned tomatoes are fine, but no tomato paste? No basil? Oregano? Salt/Pepper?

When…

I’ve had one plant for over 20 years and it has giving me literally hundreds (if not thousands) of cuttings for new plants.  These plants are closer to orchids than cacti. Make sure you have them in succulent potting soil, water weekly. DO NOT MOVE THEM. They fall in love where they are. Move them a couple of feet and…

Normally it takes years for a vaccine to be developed. Why? Companies have to apply for funding, then they have to wait. Then they have to apply for different funding and then they have to wait. Then they submit a request for Ethical Approval, and then you wait some more, then re-submitting it, then more waiting.…

What am I missing here? Instead of punching in my destination on my phone (or using my voice to find the destination), I’m supposed to go to a website, find the location, and then port it over to my phone?

With no waypoints, points of interest, or ways to save that map for future use this seems half-baked.

Look, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of sex, but why not get a gay dude to write this article? Or a straight guy who is in-tune with his nuts?

I read this and kept thinking, “nope. Not that. Oh, definitely not that. What the hell? Certainly not.”

I would not give advice on how to drive a Sherman Tank because I don’t own…

So, I signed up. Once you jump through those hoops, you are introduced to a Welcome screen that walks you through the process of setting up your galleries, selecting your art, and pairing your TV.

I took a look at the options for the “art.” I suppose if you find stock photography exciting this might be for you. The…

Can we not right now? I”m trying to deal with Killer Murder Hornets. I don’t have time to F around with a new USB standard.

Stephen Hawking has been confined to his chair for 50 years. No one is on him about getting his steps in.

My parents raised three of us. There was NEVER a situation when the children were all crying or screaming. NEVER. And here’s the best part - my parents only spanked my brother a few times. We were all intimidated by “the look” by the time we were 2. And, my parents being good people, didn’t feel the need to drag their…
