I always click the “unhelpful” button on these kinds of reviews. I’m not trying to be mean, and a lot of the reviews are very well thought out. Many of them are probably honestly unbiased, or at least the reviewer is making their best effort to be unbiased. But, a review a company paid for isn’t helpful to me. It…

Hi, I have exceptionally high arches, to the point where a podiatrist once joked that if they were any higher she might start looking for neurological issues. It’s lead to pretty solid hammer toes and overdeveloped (in relation to the rest of my body) calf muscles, as well as a tendency to hold weight on the balls of…

I’ve got a whole house running to keep my instruments in good shape, along with the wood furniture and wood floors, and I’ve noticed it seems to keep my skin a little smoother and I tend to get less sinusy and nasaly when I’ve caught something during the winter.

It’s an interesting idea (and one i intuitively agree with) that scary stories might serve a purpose, and at a minimum, aren’t harmful to children. That being said, am i mistaken or was there zero science here? All I saw was the opinion of one random sociologist.

I must be picturing this weirdly, because i feel like this would immediately alienate every woman on the staff from the male (numerical) majority. I’d be skeptical about any support any female employee gave for any other female employee, and feeling like every interaction was scripted as some manipulation.

The ultimate mic drop.

Not specifically, sorry, but if you google for the “Lifehacker U” article, you can find a TON of online resources for continuing education, and I believe that Ed ex, Udemy, and a few others have solid beginner courses.

I’m sure I’m missing something, since I doubt the Marines and the Boy Scouts are doing this just because they are bored, but having grown up on the ocean, everyone I know can relax and float almost indefinitely on their backs. I have a friend who actually lays out in the pool reading a book with no floatation device.…

Agreed. There were some hit’s there that looked a little over the line, but whenever I watch games with people who have never played, I’m blown away at what they think players are capable of doing.

I’ve never really felt the need to apologize for the state of the house itself, but letting people know that you are aware that your dog, since he has different rules in your house, is being a pain.

The owners could pay more, true. Or, the veterans could play for less than the absolutely absurd contracts they get now. These aren’t factory workers who are going to have trouble feeding their families after being replaced when their seniority made them too costly to the company. These are millionaires playing a…

I’m not 100% sure what people expect. It’s a violent gross out horror porn movie. The villain is going to do the creepiest things he can to the main characters. That’s what the movie is.

I’m really not a fan of the genre, the director, or the movie itself, so I’m not defending him out of fandom or devotion to horror films, but people should really quit assuming they know the director or the writer’s feelings on rape based on what a character, the villain nonetheless, says during a torture scene.

Cool, you’re welcome to the last word on the topic. I’m sure everyone on lifehacker is capable of doing some research on their own if the word of ErichLOL having “witnessed it firsthand,” doesn’t quite pass intellectual muster.

The “running better” thing is basically a “good ole’ boy” style myth. Marine gas tends to be ethanol free because it helps to keep water from entering the system and because it doesn’t separate as readily when you park your boat for the winter (well, and also because marine engines aren’t designed with it in mind,…

Thanks for posting this. People see the higher number with the higher price and assume it’s “better.” I know a guy who actually used to like to fill up at the marina because they had even higher octane gas for boats. No matter what I did, I couldn’t disabuse him of the notion that it made his car run better. I’d…

Every year the NFL makes it too hard for me to give them my money. I’m certain someone out there has done the math, and that this is the most profitable way to handle it, but it looks like another season of watching via less than legitimate means.

I’m honestly confused which of those ingredients you think “crunches?”

So, whatever anyone thinks of the racist nature of this event, I can see your point, but I think people are forgetting that the minister of culture didn’t set up the cake or see it in advance. Once she walked in the door, her options were to just walk out on an event designed to demonstrate against female genital…

I know lots of people would hate this, but if you’re up for it, visiting outdoor attractions when the weather isn’t perfect can free up a lot of space.
