If memory serves, the English version’s translation was done by none other than Neil Gaiman, and so it would certainly make sense that he could read between the lines and deduce that Miyazaki’s thinly-veiled “incurable disease” was mostly likely intended to be leprosy and simply made it clear to the Western audience.

“Full stack engineer”

This could be very useful to the average voter testing the veracity of their candidates’ claims.

Probably because they’re already prepared and you can eat them cold in a pinch. I mean realistically, if the power goes out your first thought is usually “I can’t warm or refrigerate my food!” In a snowstorm, however, you have a perfectly functional refrigerator outside...

I’ve come very close to grabbing one of the Anker’s with QC due to my phone, but I wish they’d go all-out and have something with a QC port and a USB-C port, just so I can have it future-proof’d. I’m tired of buying a new external battery pack every year to keep up with my new phone/tablet charging technology.

The salad spinner seems largely unused until the last step. I had assumed she’d just dump everything into the salad spinner after breaking the pomegranate into pieces and let the centrifugal force separate the seeds from the skin.

One annoying thing about the cheap masks that I have noticed: the slight opening towards the top that they leave for the nose also serves as the spot where the warm air tends to escape when you exhale towards the eyes, which will fog up your sunglasses if you’re wearing any.

I was a huge proponent of elementaryOS until I started using a pure eOS VM. There’s a bunch of design decisions (e.g. the refusal to allow for a traditional minimize/maximize/close set without some under-the-hood tweaking) that seem to ape Apple’s “We know what you want better than you do” mentality. The tradeoff of…

Since I have about 3 TB of media to backup, that would come to 0.005 * 1000 * 3 = $15/month. That’s more expensive than CrashPlan’s unlimited plan. So I think I’ll stay with that.

How does the screen look if you turn this on but you’re already running Twilight or cf.lumen on your droid?

Me neither.

Me neither.

1280x800. That’s slightly better than my HP Touchpad from 2011!

So now that Pushbullet is en route to becoming a bloated mess in an attempt to justify its Pro plan (seriously, why can’t anything follow the UNIX “Do one thing and do it well” philosophy anymore?), I suggest we start looking at some of the alternatives.

The lifehack is to fix spoiled wine that was once good, not cheap wine that was crap from the moment you opened the bottle.

Couple points you may wish to add for Android users:

Then don’t call it “Pay What You Want”. Call it “Pay $12 for these courses/apps/books or pay a flexible amount for a small sample”. Because when less than half of the bundle is actually pay-what-you-want, the label is deceptive bait-and-switch marketing and sets a bad precedent.

I hate this new trend where more than half of the bundle is a “Beat the average to unlock”. It used to be that paying what you want actually got you pretty much the entire bundle, while the ‘beat the average’ grant a couple of extra bonus things. Now they’ve decided to make the bulk of the bundle behind the pay…

Been awhile since I played with RetroArch, but I seem to recall having great difficulty in getting it to autoload the configuration I had made after setting everything up.

Get Uncharted directory and Soul Reaver director/writer Amy Hennig.

I’m all for reasons to drink, but the medicinal agent here is the honey, and to be honest I’d find it easier to just eat a few spoonfuls of honey. Particularly if you’re like me and have some raw honey lying around the house for such an occasion.
