Few reasons I’ve switched to bar soap. 1) I hate paying for water, 2) I don’t want a bunch of synthetic fragrances, 3) plastic packaging sucks, and 4) I have a local bar soap maker that produces a heck of a morning wake-up bar, all with natural ingredients, and minimal paper packaging.

Love A Short Hike. What a perfect little game. I’d also recommend The Stanley Parable and Please Don’t Touch Anything 3D for short but fun game experiences.

neither will outlawing guns

We have a standing army. There is no need for civilians to own semi-automatic rifles. The 2nd Amendment was written when a militia (well-regulated, even) was required to potentially repel invaders from hostile countries, the US recently having won its independence from one. Having no standing army, defense responsibili…

But there is such a thing as a gun no civilian needs. Which is both of those guns. And trite memes are not helpful. Both of those devices are scary, to anyone who hasn’t been brainwashed by the NRA and gun nuts. Ban them all.

Great, let’s keep going around with clarifications instead of doing what needs to be done, which is getting rid of every semi-automatic rifle we can. I’d like to get rid of pistols, too, and limit the gun nuts to single-shot long guns, but hey, trying to stay within the bounds of reality here.

Wow, you showed them. Way to get hung up on terminology, instead of addressing the fact that were this shooter limited to a muzzle-loading single-shot gun (which doesn’t have a magazine, thanks for that, very informative) he’d maybe have shot one person before being taken out. No one needs a semi-automatic rifle.…

Is a drought-tolerant lawn right for you?

“hole punch front camera”

Grew up with a single grapefruit spoon in the flatware drawer, from my family’s cutlery, inherited from my grandparents. I was the weirdo that liked grapefruit; the rest of my family thought it was too sour. Used the thing for years, moved out, started furnishing my own place, and realized that what I thought was just…

Or...maybe let people do what they want with their data, once you’ve informed them of what you’re doing with it. Because they’re adults, and can make decisions for themselves.

If you’re going to write an article about something that most people no longer need, but that many people still have, and you run a site called Lifehacker, maybe offer some ways to reuse the things? I expected some cute solutions like curtain holdbacks, or something pet-related. But just...throw them out? What a weird…

The most mind-boggling thing is hearing someone just jump in and try to pronounce an unfamiliar name, and then add all sorts of consonants and/or vowel sounds that just aren’t there. You can get most names pretty close just by looking at the name and sounding out the syllables. But I’ve heard “Adell Dazeem”-type…

tl;dr - if you’re young, and stupid, and don’t mind some (or a lot of) risk, go for it. If you’re intelligent, and you know crypto is a scam, yeah, no.

Yes, but two things: 1) I don’t drink that much coffee in a day, and 2) even if I did, I probably wouldn’t keep 4 cups just sitting around all day, because stale coffee is gross. Single-serve makers really are great, which I know, because I use one, only it’s called a French press. Not as convenient as the machines in…

Cool, now can you do one for people who can’t afford international travel? Asking for a me.

Or...rinse properly. I don’t put my nice glassware in the dishwasher because I’m paranoid the heat and agitation will damage them. But I use soap. I just make sure it’s all rinsed away. Seems pretty straightforward, I dunno.
