I haven’t done this yet, but I am planning on picking some up drawstring sacks of different sizes before my next camping trip. This will help compartmentalize gear and clothing. It’s always a pain in the ass to dig through a huge camping bag looking for clean socks.

Wow, great camping trick!

They’re like a lava lamp.

I’m considering doing custom tap handles for the bar in my basement and this would work out awesome!

This is a huge tip for when I’m going hands free in the car. Does anyone know if this works with the Moto X’s special Google Now command?

I know for sure that you can’t share your membership, though.

I remember getting this in middle school as part of a “hygiene pack” we got (apparently some of us weren’t getting the memo from our parents). I have been using it ever since without fail. Smart move by Old Spice.

This will vary depending on the type of support, but consider sending an email first, especially for things that aren’t time sensitive. Not only can more information be conveyed via email (you can send screenshots or related files), but it allows for me to get back to you when it works best for me and when I can…

Nothing worse than answering a support call and being told you are on speakerphone. It’s much better to call, and then ask if it’s okay to put the call on speakerphone after giving a brief explanation of the situation.

Wow, what a shame. I understand that they need to try and make programming not seem so intimidating, but there is definitely a line and it’s been crossed. I hope you gave them constructive criticism when you canceled.

Meh, I think with as slick as a presentation as Uber does they could slip it in there somehow. I don’t think I would get off scot-free if I got sick in someone’s vehicle, but at the same time I would be pretty shocked to see a $200 charge just show up on my credit card. I think not being more transparent about this…

I’ve just started the Android Development for Beginners course and while I completely agree that it is really “cutesy” (to the point where my fiance gave me a weird look when she over heard one of the videos), they are really well done and I learned a lot just by going through one of the sections. Now if the $200 a…

Wow thanks for making us aware of this, I feel like they should do a better job of announcing this.

Indeed. I can understand why more populous areas with good public transportation or taxi service might not like it and they certainly have done a number of things to not help their case, but in Metro Detroit Uber and Lyft are really the only game in town if you want to get somewhere reliably without driving yourself.

Wow, does this actually happen? I would never plan on getting sick in someone’s car and I tend to know my body pretty well, but this will be good to remember if I am riding with friends who might not be able to control themselves.

Just ignore him/her, if they don’t get why that’s an insensitive response, then I think that’s pretty telling about their own personality. I’ve been reading Lifehacker for over seven years and feel that’s very unlike most responses by the rest of the writing staff. Maybe Eric had a rough day. Regardless, he could have…

I am not IT specifically, but as someone who works in support, a big thing with us is making sure that you are on the latest software and firmware. I know it sounds cliche, but we release new versions for two reasons (a) new features and (b) bug fixes. If you are using old software, you are most likely using a version…

Hey, it could be worse, at least we aren’t referring to all varieties of soda/pop as ‘coke’.

Five pounds a week?!?! That’s a lot of weight to be shedding! That equates out to be deficit of roughly 25,000 calories a week; exactly how much beer were you drinking during the week?

Some might find it gross, but I’ve started cutting my pop with club soda. So far I do about a 1/4 club soda, but I’m working my way up. It honestly doesn’t affect the taste too much and I prefer it to artificial sweeteners.
