Too long. Did not read. Maybe tomorrow, but probably not...

Yeah, like the Calvin and Hobbes series where they spend all day building a robot to make Calvin’s bed so he doesn’t have to do it.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I especially like the Simplicity. “72 Things to Help You Overcome Procrastination” just doesn’t work, but 4? Do-able!

And, if all else fails, “should I get (back) on an ADD medication?”

Do you have anything with a drawer near an outlet? Friend of mine that has cats does that (placing it in the drawer) and that keeps it safe.

That’s great, but what I really need is a phone that senses when my cat is about to knock it off the nightstand, thus ripping out the charger, and move out of the way.

I didn’t watch the video but what’s the take on waiting until your battery is very low before charging? Sometimes I go to bed with my battery at around 50% charge and I plug it in anyway.

I referred this article to my wife, who was one of the first women lifeguards at Jacksonville Beach FL and also was certified as a WSI Trainer. She say that the shirt thing is better than nothing, but a solid floating object is better. Swim with it in front of you as you approach the drowning person and shove it into…

If at all possible do not enter the water. Most people are not NEARLY as strong of swimmers as they think they are and certainly can’t control the buoyancy and panic of a drowning person.

Quite right. If you have something that floats to reach out to the person, that’s better than a shirt. There are ways to handle it, when you swim up to a drowning person, but if you aren’t schooled in life saving, swimming up to a person who is in panic and drowning is a good way to drown yourself.

I took a red cross class too when I was a lifeguard on a lake. You can’t usually tow as easily when people are panicking, so you need a plan for when that fails. We were taught to come up from behind them if necessary/take a large breath before you get to them so that you could dive down if they tried to climb on you.…

Using a shirt to tow them in is good advice. However, If you don’t know how to get out of it when someone grabs you around the arms and chest and tries to climb on your head to avoid drowning, don’t swim up to them and try to get them in a cross-chest carry. From your perspective, if they drown it’s tragic, but better…

It’s better sex advice than life saving advice, actually. Long story short: don’t take off all your clothes (just the shoes and heavy stuff), avoid going in the water if you can, drowning people can definately be flailing like in the movies, protect your own safety, and find a “buddy” that can call for help. And most…

When do you add in the tears? Somehow I always end up with extra whenever I do this.

It makes me wonder how long Lastpass will keep their subscription service at $1/mo... Not long I’d wager.

While it is definitely, without a doubt, more accurate to measure by weight, I feel like it’s more crucial with finicky pastries or cakes than it is with pancakes, especially if you’re using self-rising flour, where the ratios of leavening ingredients to flour are already accounted for.

Never measure flour by volume, always by weight.

Yeah, thanks for the recipe...I’m fine, really I am...

I don’t usually like jumping on the “Look what some other platform had!” train (mostly because there’s not any single feature on earth that would make me jump platforms just for that), but...man. The whole multiple desktops thing was so overdue. And even when it got here, I still wanted things like pinning a window to…

Should I really be scared that Evernote will shutter? Should I start making the transition to something else? Apple Notes maybe, except it doesn’t support tags and I’m heavily into them.
