Haha, yes, because the stock market is guaranteed money in the bank.

That is absurd math. I make $160,000 a year, and now I can finally afford that Kia I have always wanted.

That seems like an absurd statement.

"I don't like something, so that means no one is allowed to like it"

To each their own, but in my opinion this is disgusting.

I've tried it to, but I end up just moving the pile on the bed onto the floor when I'm ready to sleep.

I've tried this. Unfortunately, I'm all by myself in a California king so I could dump three loads of laundry on my bed and still have plenty of room to stretch out.

Tip each time I ask for a drink? I could stay 2 more hours at the bar if I saved all those tips! I say one should tip not for the service you've got, but for the service you wish to receive. Here's why:

Tip is earned - there should be no rule-of-thumbs. I would think that these numbers are ridiculous for most of us readers.

Yeah...I'm not tipping more than a buck for a beer. Mixed drink? A couple of bucks. Three if it's strong.

Melanie's daytime job is a writer for Lifehacker. She's obviously a bartender at night trying to make up the difference for the LH pay.

I feel like this list could have been shortened to "Just don't go shopping until christmas is over."

So basically... Only buy food?

The opposite, I'd think. You must have small ears but normal-sized ear canals. If you had small ear canals, you'd be like me. I can only do the Apple-style earbuds or over the ear. The in-ear ones are horribly painful, like someone is trying to rip my ear apart.

It's driving me mad that 'classical' earbuds seem to be disappearing in favor of the in-ear ones and that it's also so difficult to find ones with analogue volume control. I find in-ear headphones uncomfortable, and don't want to go around carrying over-ear cans all day. My Sony MDR-E829Vs broke down recently after…

I'm the complete opposite. Having 70+ tabs open at any given time is standard. I don't like that I do that, but I have this feeling of "Oh! This is interesting! I'll keep this here for future reference, I'll definitely want/need it soon." I have more than enough RAM, so it doesn't bother me much in that sense, but…

A trick I use with great success is to write down the name of something I think I "need" on a sticky note along with a date 14-days into the future. I then promise myself that if I still want the item when the designated date arrives I'll be permitted to buy it.

It's usually a thought. Like my brain just HAS to tell me that that one thing I said today was probably stupid. Or someone now thinks I'm idiot for it or I'm a bad person for not saying something at X point. Like I said, I try not to dwell on it, but sometimes I will be doing something completely different and not…

I was suffering from panic attacks and meditation wasn't helping at all. Then an emergency room nurse taught me a "square breathing" technique and that worked like a charm to bring the panic attacks under control.
1. Take a deep breath and hold it for 4 heart beats (or count to 4 slowly).
2. Exhale slowly.
3. With your…

If I didn't have an alarm clock I could sleep for 12+ hours a day. I don't really have a choice.
