I have my tickets and reserved seating (won’t go to a movie opening without reserved seats) but I’m contemplating going early to wave my lightsaber around. The only thing that’s stopping me is my SO who doesn’t want to carry one because it’s “too heavy”. Also I don’t have the first showing.

Shoes that have that “non-slip” treads and are used as “work shoes” also seem to work better than some boots and definitely better than most sneakers. Found this out by getting the wrong shoes once. Sketchers makes some, as well as other companies. Walmart makes their own as well as Payless. Downside is they are…

This shower head is great. A few things to consider. With my old shower head the water wouldn’t reach the back wall, with this one it does. Even tilting it down it was spraying to high. I ended up buying the Delta adjustable shower arm soon after. With the adjustable arm I now have it above me spraying down. I have…

Honestly that’s usually what keeps me from even walking in there. I’ll have to check out those two brands.

I’ve always wanted to try this, but unfortunately this only works with disc brakes. :-(

Honestly just get a Seiko 5 or a Timex Weekender (which is actually recommended in the article) and be done with it. Both are great watches at great prices. Want it to look fancy or classy, put a leather band on it. Need the casual look, throw a NATO strap on it. If you are not sure if you need a “diver’s watch”, or a…

For me its my Pearl Izumi Softshell Jacket. It’s waterproof and it has to be somewhat cold out or its becomes too hot. Come winter time if I’m my bike I’m wearing it. It’s actually so comfortable I tend to wear it even if I’m not on my bike. While I don’t use it as a winter coat, I do use it as a quick sweater/coat.

Whenever my friend have that panicked “dead phone/end of the world” look on their face I usually ask for their phone and plug it into a cable that I “produce out of midair”. The cable is attached to my external battery pack which is usually in my messenger bag. The Anker PowerCore Mini is a 3350mAh battery the size of…

The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking is a great book that has been mentioned here before. It talks about this loop, and the same kind of loop people get caught in “chasing happiness,” and very briefly talks about the psychology behind it. It also talks about Stoicism, Buddhism, and the…

This “rule” does not apply with Guinness because it is a “nitro” beer. There is a different technique to pouring a Guinness and even uses a different type of handle. The shamrock sounds cool.

I stared commenting on a reply and then realized that there was too much to say. The first thing that comes to mind is Doctor Who. Now everyone knows Doctor Who will render you to tears several times, but most of the time it still does it out of nowhere and goddammit it still hurts.

Caution: Spoilers ahead!!

There’s the…

These are colored but it’s the same thing.

Using an ad-blocker seems to be common advice, but I never know which one is a good to use. There’s Ad-Blocker Plus, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, and now the one mentioned in the article. Is there one that works better then the rest? Should I use multiple ones or will that cause problems??

I usually use my phone to listen to music out of convenience but I really prefer to listen to music on my Sansa Clip. I installed Rockbox, a firmware replacement for my Sansa. I also grabbed some cheap headphones using suggestions from The Headphone List and Head-Fi. I picked headphones that were under $30 but ranked…

Darebee has some pretty good workout programs and challenges. Should be pretty easy to find a workout that fits your schedule and needs. They use to have super hero inspired workouts until lawyers caught wind of it and made them change the name of the workouts.

Can we talk about that pillar at 00:32 seconds that’s in the middle of the freaking hallway??

Can’t you just use a power only cord?

I was thinking the exact thing. I was also thinking that this would be awesome if it was milled out of aluminum.

This is false. I will not give up my Uni Jetstream, probably the best ballpoint pen ever.

I have a question on those background checking services. Half of them seem shady and the other half seem like they trap you into some monthly payment fiasco. I would like a simple, reputable, service that looks into basic things, such as credit history, and police records.
