My whole family uses it, and so far no cases of permanent hearing loss. Of course there is a need to be careful, as with many things concerning the body.

Yes I live in an Asian country. I've never heard of this difference between Asian and Caucasian ear wax. If that is true, it is interesting.

I'm non-American - this instrument can be quite easily found in my country. It is literally a ear digger. You just need to be careful not to go too close to your eardrum or to scrape the walls of your ear canal too roughly. Otherwise, it's really effective for removal and much narrower than a Q-tip.

Oh no you didn't!

Same problem here. My computer now crawls on startup that I've given up any login apps. My desktop isn't crowded, I swear.

This would probably make the iPhone more appealing to someone like my mum, who is using a Galaxy Note only because the iPhone didn't previously offer bigger screens. Otherwise it would have saved her the trouble of having to learn how to use the Android OS.

The good ol' Lifehacker hug of death

Peace at home. If someone in my family is having a hard time with something—school, illness, etc.—I can't write well.

The best teachers are usually those who give important life lessons in addition to teaching the curriculum well.

We await the day when our e-readers can offer the option of emitting selected scents while you read, depending on the type of publication you're reading. LOL

Thanks for sharing! I agree about Apple earbuds which are a much better fit and blocks out more noise than the old build. I use it at home too when I don't want to disturb my family members but need to watch/listen to something.

That may be true but my gripe is I don't want to pay for the stickers. Also, most of my friends are not active on LINE. It just happened to come into the picture later than other chat apps.

Me too! I also really like the Despicable Me 2 minion stickers.

OMG is that true?! I will try it next time the need arises.

Here we go again.. The "who even uses Facebook" circlejerk

This is a pretty superficial reason - I really like the animated stickers in the app. The stickers can also be used on desktop. Other messaging apps like KakaoTalk and LINE have stickers too, but all the ones in Messenger are free and the range is a lot wider.

I agree. In fact, I think you would be better off eating mushy rice on its own than trying to turn it into fried rice.

Many restaurants in Singapore have a 'service charge' too of 10%. Honestly, I'd rather have such a service charge imposed than have to crack my head over how much to tip the service staff. But I doubt if the boss will actually split these charges among the staff. I understand that sometimes these charges go towards…

Another reason for what appears to be an all-time high global population is that healthcare is improving and people are living longer (in both developing and developed countries), so we probably have more elderly people inhabiting our planet at this moment than at any other time in our history. In addition to the…

Not sure if you're being sarcastic - it's named after a yogi (http://www.mum.edu/about-Maharish…). My guess is because Carrey is a practising Buddhist, he agreed to do a commencement speech for this college.
