@Platypus Man: they give a prompt to the actual CSRs to press 1 to call the client. From their webpage:

In other words, keep your place moderately clean... thanks for that, Lifehacker! How about replace step 1 with: Picture the person whose house-neatness standards you'd like to meet, forget idolizing that schlub, and learn to be happy with your routine.

all you need:

@JulienPDX: comments in this ([www.singleservecoffee.com]) posting spell out the relative biodegradability/recyclability of the pods. The post itself also does a really nice cost breakdown of different machines and their pods. paper based pods, while not recyclable with paper waste, are probably way more biodegradable…

@Sam: that's just utterly terrifying...

Best way I lost weight - bike everywhere, all the time. I live in the barren northeast and still bike in 30 deg weather. Get something warm (like a tight, thick fleece), and something windproof, cover your face and hands, and get out there. Spin at high rates for 20 mins, ride something light, and the pounds will…

@micah1_8: personally I never went back #food

I once tried using tiny key label stickers that I had bought at staples. Using a three letter acronym for the key's location (Back Door Deadbolt = BDB, for example) let's you sort through the keys quickly. While the labels are about 95% probable to fall off once applied and put through a few days in a pocket, a…

How do you clean a macbook pro keyboard, thoroughly, short of removing it? Dusters don't cut it. #cleaning

So, mops and brooms can pick up bacteria, which can carry viri, which cause colds, however it's very unlikely. Best defense against colds. Get rest, drink fluids, exercise, get flu shots, and avoid contact with disease vectors (read: people who have the flu). Disinfecting your mop and sponges will make things smell…

@Rybanis: Too drunk at work? Explain?

@Darthvinder: On a similar note, does being a historian of science and medicine count?

works great on a full upright model like that which was shown in the video, but be careful on smaller ones, being sure that it will fit an upright keg, that it doesn't have a freezer drawer, and that if drilling through the top, as is the temptation for those wanting to install a draft tower, don't punch through the…

Does it work with RTM tasks?

Most of my lifehacking is done in preparation for the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

I slice every onion like a prod!

newcastle, guinness, classy?!? aside from the fact that neither is dos equis, I'd hardly call them classy. Whatever happened to the microbrew, the local brewery, or, the cheapest option by far, making it yourself!?!

Vote: craigslist, although nothing beats actually walking/driving/cycling around somewhere

anyone have an idea for mounting something like this on drop handlebars? In the off season I put my bike on a trainer, and it'd be great to be able to write while spinning.

Better tactic (again, from a history grad student) is to cut a book. Read the book reviews (academic, not the amazon ones), read the intro, the conclusion, get a sense of the argument, and skim the rest of the book, reading closely when things get interesting. You may be able to speed read at 1,200 wpm, but you will…
