Same here. I started mousing with my left hand because something about the way I was sitting before caused me cubital tunnel syndrome in my left arm. Switching the mouse to the left hand got rid of the problems, but it’s also just so much more ergonomic this way, and it makes more sense to me to use the keyboard with…

And this right here is why I refuse to join the homebrew revolution.

”Okay, but it costs more and is more work than just buying one.”

Just because 10% of the population is left-handed doesn’t mean right-handed people who like to mouse with their left hands don’t exist. I’m one of them. It makes more ergonomic sense to have the mouse to the left of a full-sized keyboard. Plus I find it’s a lot easier to use most of the keys and shortcuts on a…

I’m critical of a lot of the “hacks” and craft projects. My wife will show me something, and I accidentally ruin it for her, with observations like:

Per this Lifehacker post:

This wasn’t my failure, but it was a pretty big deal for the friend whose calamity it actually was.

Buying things. Food, house, car, electricity, etc. These are why I work. I don’t need a calculator to make me feel guilty about it. If I didn’t need/want these things, then I wouldn’t need to work. I would be a...bum.

[cost of item] ÷ [hourly rate]* = [hours needed to work to afford item]

Agreed. Perhaps the site is just here to collect this information from people.

This calculator... doesn’t really help with anything. It could be useful if it would make some assumptions or do some of the math for you, but the fact that it is asking me to look up my highest tax rate and determine my hours working and commuting per year makes it less so. If it pulled in the federal and state…

Here’s the thing - every job you’ll have is an exchange. You’re being given (in money, benefits, environment, etc) what your employer wants to give you, presumably enough to ensure that you stick around and perform to their standards (but probably not much extra). In exchange, you give them work. If, for whatever…

Life is too short to work in an environment that sucks the life out of you. Quitting without something else lined up is not always the best way to do things, but sometimes, you just have to walk. It’s the people who work at horrible jobs (for them and their personalities) because the job ‘pays so good’ and then, after…

The one thing I’ve learned from home-improvement and design blogs is that the best way to improve your photography is to renovate your kitchen.

Start your web browser, go into the settings menu, and find the option to ‘clear cookies’.

Conversely, when troubleshooting a person’s computer problem, ALWAYS ASSUME THEY ARE LYING. Because about 90% of the time, they are. Especially when it comes to restarting the PC. They don’t want to admit that they didn’t even take the basic step to try that first. So they pretend they did. You know what is more…

Does this work on vaginas?

I’ve heard you can use fish.

But then how do you get the toothpaste smell off your hands?
