I also use about a handful of frozen spinach in my smoothies. The thing to note is that beneath two cups of frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, and orange, and probably some yogurt or a banana (I don’t use either myself but I know they’re popular), you’re not going to taste the spinach at all. I’ve even tried…

I counter that calling it “another Superfish” is good. Superfish was a security blunder and caused due outrage. Comparing similar shady inclusions like this to it is the only way to force manufacturers to cut this shit out.

“Fire alarm, eh? I don’t smell anything. That building manager is such a joker!”

Your advice is much appreciated, but would have been better directed at me about five years ago, when I was fresh out of college.

It’s worthless because companies don’t want to invest the time in training their employees anymore. They want to hire someone whom they can drop into a drab cubicle and start madly pecking away like all the other drones. A Liberal Arts degree says “This person is probably capable of learning the skills we need,” but…

As silly as it sounds, one thing I think would help would be to have some female role-models for women (AND MEN) to keep in mind. Pretty much all male programmers I know, myself included, have at least a handful of well-known or personal heroes: Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Dennis Ritchie, John Carmack, etc.…

Pushbullet. OH WAIT...

Addendum: Do not attempt to mitigate urge to strike by playing Dark Souls. It will only make things worse.

It’s worth noting that Firefox on iOS runs Webkit as the rendering engine (i.e. the one that Safari uses) rather than Gecko, the engine Firefox uses on desktops and on Android. So none of the extensions that you’d be able to get on other versions of Firefox are available. In fact, I don’t think extensions are…

Oh thank God. Finally, an advice article about workplace problems that doesn’t sound like it was written by Satya Nadella.

I don’t think it’s really fair to put git on the same level of software skills as an actual programming language, a la python or javascript. You have a fair number of people who will hire you if you know Java/Javascript/Python but not git. On the other hand, I don’t know of many software companies that will hire…

I stopped living with my parents. So it’s not that I cut the cord so much as I saw what it would cost to plug in the cord at my own place and said **** that.

Typo. I originally had the word “fermented” wine until I realized how redundant that sounded. Fortified was the first replacement word that came to mind.

If you’re living with someone who is so inconsiderate that they will eat what is not theirs, I don’t think stickers are going to ward them off.

While I would not at all recommend tomatoes as a “substitute” for wine, if your dish calls for tomatoes anyway, adding a can of stewed or diced tomatoes to the pot with included juices does a pretty great job of deglazing the pan.

Brandy/Cognac is technically fortified wine, so this makes sense. But practically, how much cognac do you throw in your food? My typical addition to something like French Onion soup would be a tablespoon. By contrast, there’s usually about a cup of wine that’s used for deglazing. A cup of cognac would be pretty damn…

If you do it quickly after unplugging the device, a wet paper towel is usually enough to do the job. If you forget about it, however, and let the egg or cheese crust on the bottom, it can be a pain in the ass.

I don’t recall buying pre-cooked Canadian bacon, but then I’ve never really looked at the packaging.

At the risk of invoking Alton’s Brown “No Uni-taskers!” rule, a breakfast sandwich maker is a huge timesaver for me in the morning.
