If you’ve only got hand-washing dish soap? Hand wash the dishes you need until you can get to the store. 

Yeah, that was my thought too, but it did inspire me to look up Mexican black beans/corn/peppers, which seems like a tastier version.

I don’t have kids and haven’t been one in a long time, but most of my cohorts would have been horrified to discover some of these items in their lunch bags and embarrassed to have their peers see them.

Thank you for this article. This made me consider a different perspective on my own eating habits. 

You can roll some as small as you like around a toothpick, however my preferred way to carry a length of duct tape is to take a credit-card-sized offer/coupon card (I get one or two a month, junk mail) and wrap tape around it. It’s a bit over three inches wide and the card edges make it easy to rip off a piece of that…

Polish the inside of the lid to a mirror shine. Emergency signal mirror. More handy than you would think.

I think I have become my Dad’s digital executor by default. I’ve helped him with all his digital needs: setting up his wifi network, internet radio, Roku, troubleshooting his computer (thank you, Teamviewer), phones. Most importantly, I set up a password manager and have his master password for it. And he’s 95, and…

Decent advice, but a gentle reminder to Lifehacker that many of your readers are immigrants or children of immigrants.

That’s the McDLT. The Arch Deluxe was supposed to be a more “grown up” burger with some fancy sauce and peppered bacon. It was delicious.

Interesting trivia: as one of his first commercial jobs, Steve, the host of Blue’s Clues, did a voice over for the Arch Deluxe. (Skip to 26s if the link doesn’t do it for you.)

You’re thinking of the McDLT!

That was the McDLT if I’m not mistaken.

Their breakfast toaster sandwiches are pretty good too, especially if you go to one of the places where they legitimately fry the bread on the griddle (some places just toast it and it’s sad). The bacon egg and cheese toaster sandwich is great, and they usually have nice, crispy bacon (I hate flimsy bacon in a…

People sleep on Sonic (especially for breakfast), but the Supersonic Breakfast Burrito is easily one of the best fast food breakfasts you can get (and you can get it any time of day too). Eggs, cheese, sausage, tater tots, onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos all wrapped in a flour tortilla. Squirt some of their picante…

Chik-fil-A’s Spicy Southwest Salad  is top notch as far as salads go. As someone who prefers a lighter lunch to avoid the mid-day food coma at work, this salad is routinely better than most local restaurants that charge just as much if not more for a comparable salad.

Add to this parking in a handicap spot when you don’t need one. This includes people with a legal handicap parking permit but don’t actually need it, such as for a previous injury or a family member who isn’t with them at the time. A selfish asshole move that makes life harder for people who legitimately have a need…

Older Rokus used to have a headphone jack in the remote control for private listening. It was awesome. Just plug in headphones and away you went. TV got muted and the sound came through the headphones. I never had an audio delay issue. A few years ago, I got my parents a Roku and that feature was sadly gone.

As the guy who eats lunch alone in my car:  Don’t ask me to lunch.  I’m in my car to get away from people for an hour.  Leave me alone.
