Farmers who take photos of their livestock give me a lot of comfort at the end of a long working day. My favourite, and one who posts regularly, is @littleseedfarm.

Whatsapp - extremely popular in the region of Southeast Asia, and constantly increasing its functionality.

I regularly use these for alignment:

Damn I got that reference

I have a 12 1/2 year old Mini Schnauzer - the biggest health problems he’s faced so far are skin problems and an apparent nerve problem in his spine that sometimes makes it too painful for him to walk.

Feedly has similarly consumed much of my life now. Hard to imagine that it wasn’t that long ago that Google Reader shut down and I was trying my best to get used to Feedly.

I actually face the reverse issue - I’m slightly disappointed that my tolerance is not better. Low tolerance stops me from enjoying a cup of coffee (for the taste, not for the caffeine), even decaf, after lunchtime; consuming a cup of coffee after lunch time keeps me awake till 4am.

I abide by this rule now. I’m using an iPhone 5 and am still on iOS 6. I staunchly refuse any software updates. Even at the expense of not getting some new features on my favourite apps.

I had a very positive experience in Florence too. Beautiful monuments and architecture.

I’ve tried it once, not for the alleged health benefits, but simply because there was no milk available. The taste is slightly strange, but definitely helps take away the bitterness of the coffee.

Ooh. Ethnic Chinese. I actually really like it! The trick is to boil it for a very long time so it becomes soft enough, and the flavour then gets into the broth too.

Singaporean here. We love our durians indeed, myself included. It always amuses me to see foreigners express shock and curiosity at our love for the fruit.

Hmm I quite like stinky tofu myself, but I think the ones I've had were not on the strong side. For those on the mild side, they're only really stinky when they're being cooked because it's on a mass scale, but when you're presented with a plate of it, the smell isn't that obvious and the slight "stench" does add to…

I used it in Oslo, Norway. I had a really good experience - it was more affordable than the accommodation available in the city, it was homely, the host was friendly and she made many facilities available to us.

Agreed. The dinners in the grand ballroom in the Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas were multi-course and pretty high quality. The dishes changed every night too. It was the buffets that were awful and we got really sick of it after one week onboard.

Oh I do use last.fm, mainly to see what I've been listening to. It has definitely fallen out of favour with many people, some of whom are my friends, so it no longer serves much of a social purpose for me. Streaming from Last.fm is also now limited to the US and UK, which I am evidently not living in.

Spotify is available in many other countries other than the US and UK. I do like seeing what my friends are listening to. My one complaint is the app seems to use a lot of processing power.

It's not, non-MD here.

The end of it is actually a scoop and not just a curved piece of metal, as a broken coat hanger would probably resemble.

No risk of pushing it deeper, because it's so thin that it doesn't interfere with the earwax on the walls of the ear canal, unless 80-90% of the canal is filled with earwax. It does feel somewhat ineffective for wet earwax (or in cases where water has entered the ear canal). Otherwise it's pretty useful for dry earwax.
