I'm not getting how people are saying they can't shower daily because they don't want to wash their hair that often—that's pretty easily solved with a shower cap. I shower once daily, twice if I work out, every day no matter what and I only wash my hair about twice a week. Dry shampoo is a godsend.

And deodorant.

I shower a different amount of times than everyone else here, and I think we should fight to the death about it.

This is like providing people with a guideline for how often to shave without paying any mind to how densely or quickly their body hair grows. The frequency with which a person needs to shower is about his or her hair more than anything, I've concluded, and perhaps secondarily an individual's sweating habits, the…

NOT THE COFFEE.

Mandatory showers for all 6th graders. I don't care that you don't think you smell. MANDATORY.

Hot showers are the pinnacle of civilization, IMO. Take away my car, my electricity, my coffee, it's ok. But I want my shower.

I'm a substitute teacher, which means that I am afforded a lot of personal reading time (Subbing for high school kids is glorified babysitting and I need something to do while they work on their assignment). I used to bring books, but after lugging a hardcover edition of Under the Dome back and forth to work for a…

The only reason I have largely switched from paper books to ebooks is space. A wall full of paper books takes up only a few hundred megabytes in ePub format.

If you very gently give a new paperback the same treatment as recommended here for hardback books, you get very little creasing. You have to start just barely spreading the pages, then go back and do it again a little more, then again, maybe 4 times before the book is loosened up enough to read without making deep…

Am I the only person that likes the smell of physical media? Books smell great and so does the album artwork of CDs.

I don't know a single person who reads on an ereader... though to be fair, I don't actually know anyone who -reads.-

I have about 200 physical books. I only have around 10 ebooks from Kindle for my Nexus 7. It's an amazing reading device. That said, I only bought them on Kindle for immediate reading convenience. …

Personally (though I don't know that this will make it too much better) I used to go through incredibly long books and force them to crease every 50 pages as I read them. That way the crease isn't HORRIBLE (the book flopping open to one spot, where the crease is, every time) and the spine is more readable, but it…

This is why I love e-books.

I think the ratio of people who prefer paper books is still much higher than the ratio of people who prefer digital music, or possibly even digital movies. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who reads on an ereader. Maybe it's just the people I hang out with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't think of it as wrecked. Think of it as being the book equivalent of laugh lines. A lot of crinkles in the spine means the book's been well-loved and had a good book life. :)

I'm not so sure about that. I know a ton of millenials (myself included) who would much rather have a physical book than read on a screen. For anyone who reads for fun, the paper book still has a place.

Is there any way to read a thick paperback without creating a huge crease in the cover? Hardcovers often have the cover itself separate from the actual spine except on the edges and front/back pages to prevent this damage, but I've yet to read a paperback without wrecking it.

If anyone uses their laptop in bed, I highly recommend using the program [f.lux] (yeah, that period is in the name). It changes the colour temperature of your screen (separate from just the brightness) to levels you set, so that it can be more along the lines of a lit candle rather than full sunlight (sunlight is…

Another commenter recommended this a few days ago, and I've come to really like it. During late evening hours, it warms the color profile of your display, sort of like those special astronomy flashlights. You can make the effect as subtle or pronounced as you like.
