This article neglects to clearly state if by“leaving on” a computer means “in sleep mode” or actually completely ON, “on.” WHICH IS IT???

It’s quite simple, really—-go around and test drive various cars to figure out what you want. Then simply get quotes over the phone from all your local dealers for the specific model AND trim level, and insist that these quotes be for the “DRIVE OUT” price. If they give you a D.O. price and then try to jack it up,…

Yep, carbs are the devil. Especially the processed kind. I’ve never been “fat,” but I had a persistent spare tire ever since college, due to beer drinking, and despite being an avid exerciser for most of my life, it never went anywhere until I went on a low carb, high fat diet—-POOF! It was gone within 6 months,…

“Most modern cameras use high-quality, high-resolution sensors that are so small and so cheap, nearly every camera can use them.” --- big fat lazy over-generalization. The number one overlooked spec (which the camera industry WANTS consumers to remain ignorant about) is SENSOR SIZE. Very few consumers actually need…

Rowing machines are awesome! Much more time-efficient than stationary bikes, ellipticals, or treadmills, AND they activate more muscles in your body. Treadmills are known as “dreadmills” by real runners anyway, not just because they are soul-killing boredom machines, but they actually foster really bad biomechanical…

yes, they absolutely are. Other effective core/ab exercises are hanging leg raises, ab-wheel rollouts, axe chops, Russian twists, etc.

All you need to do with RT is click on the “Top Reviewers” link to see what THEY think (since the “All reviewers” list includes all sorts of random characters I wouldn’t put much credibility in)...any movie with a “Top Reviewers” average above 75% is usually decent at least. (Except for the god-awful “Gravity,” lol.)

Alain Botton wrote about this much more comprehensively and masterfully here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/opi…

1. It can be said that GENERALLY, for MOST people, what works is a shoe that’s roomy enough for your toes not to get squished tightly together, is reasonably light and flexible enough so that your foot can naturally flex as fully as possible through the gait cycle. “Motion control” shoes, “stability” shoes, and…

“Chill only works via Facebook messenger” —- ugh!

Anybody know how this compares to Accuweather in terms of up to the minute accuracy? I most enjoy Weather Underground’s customizable graphs and radar maps in Windows but its Android version lacks those features.

Natalie Portman is a gorgeous woman...where did you get that awful photo? It makes her look like positively ghoulish!

Get the Paperwhite, totally worth it. I just bought the discounted bundle 2 weeks ago that came with nice leather case and AC charger for $130, kicking myself that I didn’t wait for this since the case wasn’t worth an extra $40.

The absolutely BEST rice cooker I’ve ever found wasn’t a rice cooker, but an electronic PRESSURE COOKER—-the Instapot! Got it on a Black Friday sale for about $80, normal price is around $120. It cooks all kinds of rice flawlessly including the dreaded BROWN rice, with zero mess or splatter, and in 1/2 to 1/3 the…

Meh, the cheeseburger itself is fine...it’s the fries and soda most people have along with it that kills you. Optimally, toss the bread and eat just the meat and veggie toppings...or toss just the top bun and eat the burger like an open-faced sandwich to halve the carbs (unless the buns are made of sprouted whole…

Meh, I am always barefoot at home when using the standing desk, zero problems. Author needs to suck it up...that’s what will make his feet (and calves, and core, and mind) stronger!

Pushup handles are highly recommended, to protect your wrists and also to get a fuller range of motion. Elevating your feet using a stepstool, or keeping one foot off the ground to better engage the core, are also good upgrades to the basic pushup.

In that case, consider running...nothing will lean you out better. Especially when you throw in some speedwork (fartleks, tempos, trackwork, etc.) and hill training.

I was a little disappointed with Sansa’s chosen means of killing Ramsay...was kind of hoping she’d do to him what he did to Theon, i.e. cut off his privates first. THAT would be proper Old Testament / medieval symmetry of revenge, although the show probably didn’t want the modern day moralistic audience to lose…

Meh, I’ve tried Bose active noise cancelling phones as well as those by Audio Technica and Sony, and found that my $30 Sennheiser CX-500 earbuds (passive noise cancelling) do just as well at sealing out plane noise.
