I have the same issues. I wish they would work on making the service more stable instead of adding stupid image syncing and the like. I just want something that lets me text from the web (or their tablet app) reliably. Unfortunately, there aren't many other options, so I continue to use it. Although I find myself…

I can't believe I've never thought of cooking other stuff in my rice cooker. Steaming veggies sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the tip, Jacobm.

One tip I was hoping to see on this list is eating seasonally. While it's lovely that we can get raspberries in the middle of the Canadian winter, this is extremely wasteful from a financial, nutrition and environmental point of view. I save a lot of money buying all my produce from local producers when it's in…

Check which days of the week your grocery store butchers meat. On those days trimmings and bones are put on the shelves for making soup stock. For as little as $2 one can purchase enough chicken trimmings to make several litres of soup stock. Also, the produce department will have a shelf featuring discounted…

In some places it is illegal for the landlord to hold extra months rent in addition to what is allowable (first and last, deposit and last, etc...)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's an extremely ignorant comment to make. As a person who has also "developed before", I'm calling shenanigans on your apparent deep knowledge of this game's code base. There is absolutely no way that you can know the exact means of this aspect's implementation. You can't just assume that…

Wow, flowers! Classy move for an honest mistake. (Still, how awful to have that happen in the first place.)

Just because you interact with a diverse group of people doesn't mean that you'll necessarily come across a wide range of names. Almost EVERY Hong Kong-Canadian person I know has a western name, for example (most of the people who DON'T are elderly, and culturally, I call most 80-somethings Poh Poh and Gung Gung…

I've always had a thing against web-installers. Not exactly sure why but they always bothered me. When I download the setup file, I want the setup file, not a tiny thing that'll later gather what it needs to install.

Great in theory, but in an age of email and voice mail, you'll be lucky if somebody responds. Common courtesy is a thing of the past. I've tried these tricks several times, until I just give up. The lack of response is just rude.

I have been a long-time fan Notepad++, but this article put me on to Sublime Text. I downloaded a copy and play through all the tutorial videos I could find. One thing I would really like to see is an editor that handles multiple windows like the old BRIEF and Codewright. Sublime Text does. I can hardly contain my joy.

If you have to use a calculator for 10%, please just stay indoors and spare the rest of us from the possibility of having to interact with you

Apparently the quality of lifehacker readers is going down, if we have to explain how to move a dot...

If you need your phone to help you calculate 10%, you have no business having ANY money to spend.

Or... just cut it into eights instead of quarters (just two extra cuts in total)

what does this accomplish, exactly?

Good call. I prefer this when I'm editing files over SSH, like you said. VIM does not appeal to me at all.

The only con I have for Sublime Text (on mac) is that takes a long time if I do a big find and replace. I even have to Force Quit the application while on Text Wrangler the same task takes seconds.
