Look at moneybags over here replacing flat tires instead of just getting them repaired.

The advice I received a long time ago that’s served me well so far has been to slow down and try just barely missing them (if you can’t stop entirely). That mindset keeps you from making giant, wild swerves that could cause you to lose control of the vehicle. It’s helped me stay calm and gives me something specific to…

Just saw this. I’m so glad it helped! I was the same. Mine were awful and an antifungal made such a huge difference.

Yessss. Just trying to pass it along. I was so annoyed when I found out that athlete’s foot isn’t just like, “itchy red toes”. My feet are still a little rough, but it’s a night and day difference.

Just as a heads up to those out there with majorly-thick calluses that seem to come right back after microplaning them to death: you may very well have athlete’s foot. I’ve had ridiculous heel and foot calluses for years, and finally figured out that I might have moccasin-type athlete’s foot. Twice-daily 40% urea…

They pretty much completely fuck screen readers.

lol whoops. In my defense, basically every example it gave in the rest of the article went against that advice. 

This needs to be expanded a little. When appraising something a child has done, you should be encouraging the effort, rather than praising the child and focusing on the end result.

When the government faces a deficit, it has two main options: cut costs or raise more money. 

I mean, if you’re growing your own, maybe. The store-bought tomatoes that most of us have access to are trash year-round. 

Give your landlord exactly as much respect as you’d give a mosquito. 

Another (similar) recipe that I’ve been using for years is NomNomPaleo’s Magic Mushroom Powder (magic only in taste, not hallucinogenic properties):

So ... a national deficit is bad because it’s perceived as bad, which can then prompt decisions that are bad?

CGear sells a chair similar to the Helinox, but slightly larger, and “sandproof” (sand falls through the material they use for their products). It’s also only $60. My in-laws have a pair. They’re really nice if you don’t need to shave the weight off for backpacking.

Like ... have you ever TALKED to a kid? I haven’t met many kids over the age of, say, five, that didn’t have *very* strong opinions about random things. I don’t mean political things, but just ... things. Kids’ attention is rarely spread as thin as that of adults, so they manage to focus a lot of it onto a handful of…

Um ... kids have *way* stronger feelings about things than most adults. If your kids aren’t passionate about anything but videogames and junk food at nine years old, it’s because you’ve talked them *out* of it.

It’s also worth looking at how to let your kid develop their own beliefs. A big part of why so many kids rebel so hard against their parents is that many parents force their belief system onto their child as fact, then when kids start to learn otherwise, they often see it as a general failure of their parents, and, by…

Oh boy I wonder if you even read the article that very clearly suggests finding an issue the *kid* cares about and helping them get involved, or if you just saw “activist” and thought “oh, I’m against children being involved in politics because I have awful beliefs that they’ll end protesting and we can’t have that.”

Plex technically *can* play audiobooks, but it treats them like music and is wonky about playback (also, there’s not a great option for metadata).

If you have random downloaded audiobooks (i.e., not in Audible/whatever), Bound on iOS is the best/easiest way I’ve found to listen to them. You can put your audiobook files into dropbox, connect Bound to your account, and fetch them directly on your device, without having to copy/sync from iTunes. It’s fantastic and…
