This How I Work was one of the best in a long time, thanks! More like this!

This was a great “how we work,” and they really talk about a lot of things that lifehacker has mentioned before - pomodoro method, eating the frog. Also, I just installed boomerang a few weeks ago and it really is a good system.

Re-read Patrick’s post. It’s in there.

We use the fact that the dishwasher has a lever that has to be locked in order to run. Is it locked? The dishes are clean (because I’m the only one who runs it, and if I’ve opened it, I put everything away, not that I’m bitter, because I am the one who dirties the majority of the dishes, excuse me, I need to go pick

Dishwasher person: If your dishes are so food-free when you put them in the dishwasher that you can’t tell whether they are clean or not, that means either your dishwasher is so crappy you have to basically wash them before they go in, or you are rinsing more than you need to. With my dishwasher, I can get the big

The keychain link goes somewhere else. Could we get the correct link?

People who talk at the movies should be shot.

That’s a very different business model.

I’m sure your fellow movie-goers are thrilled!

“don’t be the Applebees of x” is a good motto

First, let’s fix the trailers. Sat through over half an hour’s worth for Last Jedi. For a seat I paid for. Tell me what time the movie starts, tell me what time the trailers start and I’ll tell you what time I’m showing up. If getting there for the ads is the price I pay for a good seat...OK, fine. If it’s not going

I’m all for a long-ish movie if the pacing and storytelling are spot on, but I admit that it is a bit weird to have to think about my food and beverage consumption choices HOURS before arriving at the theater. “What’s for lunch? Chipotle? No, I can’t do Chipotle, I’m seeing Star Wars tonight. Yes, you can come. No, we

I’d go to the movies more if I could be reasonably sure there wouldn’t be people around me talking or using their phones. I realize I could ask them to knock it the hell off, but as someone who reallllly dislikes conflict that’s easier said than done (and besides, I kinda feel like if I’m paying you $12+ for a ticket,

If movies were cheaper? Who’re we kidding, they’re never going to get as cheap as a (shared)Netflix subscription. So here’s the real problem that theaters are facing: Flat income levels combined with rising costs (rents, food, etc.).

Wanna know what helped me? MoviePass. I’ve gone to see 5 movies this month. Even signed up my wife and kids. Love it

this is why i only go during the winter. I can fit a convenience store in my parka.

I haven’t been to a movie with my wife for roughly 9 years. Theaters can keep their fucking luxury seats and so-called “experience”.

My reasons for not going, in no particular order:
1) Most movies coming out are complete crap, not worth watching
2) Idiots with cell phones, lasers and of course screaming kids (not just

For me, it’s a lot of what the article stated (beside the rising ticket costs). The “effort” required to go see a movie: everyone agreeing on what to see, fight traffic to drive to the theater, driving around for parking, waiting in line for over priced concessions, giving the side-eye over the shoulder to the parent
