I would agree with the steps that you have here, except that if your employer offers 401k matching, you are doing yourself a huge disservice by not wringing as much of the matching out of it as possible.

BEST MECHANICAL KEYBOARD

I've shared this many times, but I'm going to share it again, because I'm still in love with this tip. I put an NFC tag on my detergent cap. When I touch my phone to it, it starts a timer on my phone for 45 minutes, so I don't forget to go switch over/bring up the laundry. It's a lot faster than manually setting up…

If you only occasionally need the services of a blender, you may be better off with a stick blender. They are cheaper and often easier to clean up. As a gadget freak (seriously, I own an electric tortilla press if that tells you anything) I find I use the stick blender more than my actual blender in most situations.

Do you guys wake up before the alarm?

Those auto-play video ads you have on this site now.... Get rid of them.

Knowing that 90 per cent of what comes out of Dana White's mouth is pompous bombast, the callousness with which he addressed the GSP situation last night even took me aback.

I've loved MMA for years, covered and wrote about it, and generally give White a ton of credit for where the sport is today.

White was WAY out of fuckin line, to bash one of the best fighters you have ever had who has made him millions of dollars? GSP doesn't owe anyone anything and if he doesn't want to fight or needs to take time off instead of being pressured into fighting before he is ready really proves that Dana doesn't have his…

I've always known Dana White was an ass, but this is just disturbing. The way he constantly talks about what the fighters owe the UFC makes me wonder if he believes the UFC owes the fighters anything? Does he really think that since these guys made money each fight they shouldn't do what's best for them and their…

His reaction yesterday was enough to swing my support for him completely away from him. For someone who has, in part, made his living espousing the virtues of allowing his sport to evolve (as opposed to boxing, which has not), this sounds like the horribly archaic type of instinctive responses for which many old-time…

After trying different apps over the years (albeit none of these) I settled on what is a perfect solution for me.

Hmm, I just keeps our as text files in sorted sub-folders (Italian, Asian, Indian, etc) in a Recipes folder in Dropbox. Open Source (not tied to a particular app), browse able and searchable from phone, PC or any browser, and can share the folder with my wife's Dropbox account.

Dressing up as lamp from Christmas Story = fucking genius/.

Here's my cheap way to save money AND take the thinking out of what to eat/make: I go to my grocery store, buy what's on sale, and make my meals for the week based on what I got. Chicken on sale — having chicken for the week. Zucchini and tomatoes on sale — making something with those. Perishables all get eaten…

If you are in a position to follow this advice, it is very likely that you are not having financial difficulties.

As both a longish-distance cycling commuter (12mi one way trip out to the philly burbs from center city) who commutes to an office without a shower, as well as a generally sweaty dude, i typically rely on a few key tips.

Have you tried fostering a dog? If you foster a dog through a rescue, you don't pay an adoption fee and they will pay any vet bills. Some of them will provide for all expenses. On the downside, you would have to give up the dog once someone showed up who could pay the adoption fee and take over expenses, but on the…

Well, sure. If you get up one day - after weeks, months, or years of sedentary life - and walk five miles and realize at the end that your feet hurt, your back hurts, your head is pounding, and you're exhausted, it's going to give you a certain impression about yourself. The effects of exercise on depression take…

I was very interested in this challenge until I read this:
