No savings for me. I am “happily” paying the inflated price from Amazon in order to get Prime shipping, in order to justify the yearly price I pay for Prime...

Alternative idea: Put a French Press into your car and have some pre-ground coffee/whole bean coffee w/a hand-grinder handy. Then go into the gas station, pay for a cup of “tea”, and use the hot water spout on the machine to fill your carafe.

Will be curious to see how this pans out. I can see it eliminating alot of headaches, but it feels like the size of apps will explode if they all create localized versions of their dependencies. If every app you download grabs its own version of Python, for instance...

Anecdotally, I’ve found that having or inducing a slight boner seems to decrease some of the pressure feeling when being forced to hold one’s bladder for awhile.

I had one of these for my HTPC, but the dongle was annoying and it felt like the keypresses would fail to transmit 50% of the time if the receiver wasn’t visible (meaning I had to put it into a front-facing USB port).

“We note in the history of mankind that its civilization took a proverbial ‘nosedive’ sometime in the early 21st century, when the cost of living made it prohibitively expensive to perform even the most rudimentary exercises. Thus accelerated man’s decline into the large, barely-sentient blobs of skin and fat. When a…

So I’ve had a Fitbit Charge for about six months and the band has completely detached from the core unit. I see band replacements being sold all the time, but it looks like the thing is held together by quite a bit of glue and whatnot. Are there mall kiosks where people will replace the band for you, or is this a…

I would extend this advice to anyone asking for help, with pretty much anything. If a doctor asks you where it hurts and you tell him “Everywhere!”, he’ll be forced to conclude that you’re dying. As a result, you’re probably not going to get much done about the pain in your knee.

Unfortunately, the security of our passwords is artificially capped by the providers of the database. It doesn’t really matter if my password manager can generate a 64-bit random character password if my bank tells me that my password must be between 8 and 12 digits.

I found this out the hard way when using a coffee grinder to make curry powder with some freshly-toasted spices that hadn’t quite cooled (blame the cast-iron skillet’s heat retention). The grinder’s clear cover gained a yellow tinge and a permanent curry smell.

What are you wearing?

So, it says “Just a microwave”, but that English muffin has clearly been toasted. I call BS.

A few years ago I seem to recall that if full-disk encryption was enabled, Smart Lock wouldn’t work. Is that still the case?

I made this one-ingredient vegan cake. It was sooo easy!

You know what they say: when life gives you lemons, set them on fire.

How does this compare to Mailvelope?

Fairfax still blows. The Metro is frequently on fire for no discernible reason, resulting in you being an hour late for work every other morning, and a 1200-foot townhouse costs $350k.

Washington, D.C: No.

Where is my new, HTC-made Nexus phone, Google? The rumors lied!

Having picked up family members from the Dallas airport a few times, this seems entirely reasonable.
