Any plumber who gets frequent calls to business offices will say coffee is the main culprit for sink problems. I'd imagine in a home with a decent disposal wouldn't be too harmed by small amounts coffee, but it's just dumb to go to this much trouble to add something potentially harmful to ingredients like epsom salts,…

The coffee acts like the aggregate component of concrete. Without coffee, bones or hair wads etc, the grease blobs you wash off dishes will keep going due to water flow, and can be cleared with blasts of hot water. Once coffee settles in a low spot, and collects some greaszey-goo it hardens into a solid mass which is…

OH GOD NO. NO. NO. NO DAMMIT. NO.

I worked for a drain cleaner for a few years. Don't put food into the disposal period. I replaced a disposal last week and read those same instructions. Like I said if your want to waste your time and money then go ahead and test your disposal and drain lines.

This author has no clue what he is talking about. If you want to pay a professional drain cleaner to snake your drain lines or replace your disposal then go ahead and put food down there that could easily go into a trash can. Scrape your plates into a trash can along with any food waste. Your disposal is not a…

I promise this is a bad idea. I work for Starbucks and our plumbers say that coffee grounds are the root of the issue for all the coffee shops they service. We throw away a lot of the grounds, so the small portion that makes it into the sinks causes these issues, it's not a lot. Coffee has a lot of things going for…

No, no, no. If your garbage disposal stinks, it's probably because you're putting things down there that don't belong. Coffee grounds, lemon rinds, egg shells and other such solids do not go in the garbage disposal or drain. They can build up and clog your plumbing and sewer.

How delightfully patronizing of you.

Use this:

SM58 is a great mic, but I don't think it's a great desktop mic. When people think desktop, they probably want a condenser mic, which the SM58 is not.

VNC please. Macs even come with both server (Screen Sharing) and client (Connect To Server window) built right in, perfectly working, no need to install anything.

I'm actually stunned that Lifehacker would publish something this condescending. Living for a week with a poison ivy rash isn't comparable- in any way- to living for your entire life with a debilitating, chronic, and ultimately fatal illness. For anyone to suggest otherwise reeks of ableist privilege and…

I'm sorry, but I don't think you should be writing a how-to about getting over physical pain based upon your experience with a temporary rash (albeit a bad one) and not something that's more present and psychologically torturous as chronic pain as a result of something else. It comes off as a meaningless platitude and…

A game in the Batman The Animated Series universe with the exact same art deco design and the same soundtrack would be great.

seven "core values": courage, duty, integrity, honor, country, service, and commitment

Definitely looks like a good game with a great aesthetic and neat 2D shooter gameplay ideas.

Maybe I'm not cooking the same recipes as everyone else, but most of the dishes I've used saffron in tend to be fairly moist: rice or soups and the like. In these cases, isn't infusing the saffron into water inherent in the dish the entire point of using saffron in the first place?

I will get grief from the "coffeephiles" but I like my Mr Coffee Optimal Brew 10 cup high speed brewer that goes into an insulated carafe. It produces a superior brew in the correct extraction time and at the right temperature.

Crap in crap out.
