Have you verified that this is true? Because I’ve been blocked on Twitter by an account which had DM’d me in the past, and I can still see the DMs from before the block.

That’s a great read. Thematically, it made me think of the Against Me! song “Unprotected Sex With Multiple Partners”, a track on an album released in 2005 during their whirlwind phase of being courted by major labels.

Not a critical detail, but you’ve got the wrong name for the summit in question — it’s the Values Voter Summit, not the Voter Values Summit.

> For that $50 price tag, you could probably fill your whole home with Home Mini devices for the same $130 price tag of a single full-sized Google Home.

So... my entire home is going to be filled by... *does the math* ...2.6 Home Mini devices? I get the sentiment but I’m not sure I follow your specific wording.

Fun fact: that’s actually not true! Studies have shown that the placebo effect occurs even if the subject knows that they’re taking a placebo! (see https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/placebo-can-work-even-know-placebo-201607079926 for more info). There’s some really scientific research that’s been done on this stuff!

My life was changed forever when, during my stint as a ramen cook during college, I was introduced to cooking chopsticks - they’re useful for literally everything, and beyond their direct versatility, they’re also what finally taught me to become reasonably proficient with regular sized chopsticks. I’ve got two pairs…

Any firsthand thoughts on how this compares with the usual robo vacuum offerings in this price range, such as the Eufy model you guys are always talking up?

Another question more related to this punch - what’s your thoughts on actual St. Germain versus other, cheaper elderflower liqueurs? I mean, St. Germain is a classic in an attractive bottle and all, but around here, I can get a bottle of “St Elder”, a US-produced generic, for about half the price — I’ve used it in a…

Ooh yay! Don’t know how that one snuck past me.

I’m all about a simple large-batch cocktail! I always overcomplicate things when I’m trying to make drinks for a crowd - I’ll have to remember apply the three-ingredient happy hour philosophy next time!

Yeah, canned wine is definitely a thing, for example:

Ugh, I’ve got this killer recipe for pickled cocktail cherries but it calls specifically for tart cherries, and I can’t find ANYWHERE around me (Ohio) that carries those. I keep trying to figure out a way to get ‘em but it seems like they’re a Michigan thing with a super short season.

I’ll second this - so many cocktail recipes call for, like, 1/4oz of 3+different obscure liqueurs that are only available as a >$30 bottle that you’ll rarely use. I get psyched when I see these posts because I know it’s going to be something I can actually try on a whim without breaking the bank.

Has there been any explanation of why they’re doing that? I feel like it’s really self-defeating to build up the Anker brand as something that stands apart from other forgettable “brands” that are just pushing white-label chinese junk, and then just when they get some name recognition, pivot to putting their new stuff…

This is a great article, but I’m surprised to see the use of the word “fucktard” - I’d expect better from the writers for this site than a juvenile insult derived from using “retard” as a pejorative. Just something to think about.

Did you really link random keywords to five other Lifehacker articles for SEO, but not put a link to the official announcement anywhere in this article? Seems like most people might want to hop over to the primary source...

Any reviews on their refurbished models? They’ve also got refurbs of those two for $75 / $100 respectively, which is pretty compelling.

Is this dead? I don’t see it even at its normal price - it’s 295.95 from the cheapest available seller. EDIT: Nevermind, saw the note in the article.

Which is to say, protip: always buy kitchen/bar stuff from restaurant supply stores. It’s made to be used non-stop, and priced dirt cheap.

Where are you shopping that a wooden muddler is more expensive than $6? At the restaurant supply shop local to me, you can get one for $0.92 - I’d bet prices are similar elsewhere. http://www.shopatdean.com/collections/mi…
