Meetup.com is pretty good for finding stuff like that.

It really is just venturing out, I think—and being like, you know what, screw it, I need some friends, I’ll do some weird shit to meet people and see what happens. The reason I liked this part of the WSJ post and not the rest of it as much was because I feel like one thing that keeps people from doing those things,…

Sometimes I wish Lifehacker had a profile option so we could allow people to contact us privately. I’ve encountered a number of folks here who seem like they’d be great friends.

Good for you! I’m glad that you get you don’t have to sit home and he doesn’t have to go out. In my never-humble opinion it’s fine for couples to have activities they do separately.

looks like there’s a power limit of 160 watts, so maybe an led projector but that might be right on the edge for an arc lamp type projector.

This was a very common set-up for young women starting their careers in 1940s-1960s New York—see, for example, the Barbizon Hotel. The motivations for it then were a little different (parents not wanting their daughters running around entirely un-chaperoned in the Big City), but it’s not like this is the totally…

Yeah I thought about this too. If this was actually like a cost effective option, I would do it in a heartbeat. It’s one of the appeals of living in a good group house, there a community of people, stuff going on, a built in support system. If there was a viable option for multiple families sharing one large home, I…

Maybe they’ll change it to only download the areas you never go to.

I was literally considering whether I should research living in an assisted living facility like 4 days ago. I am 37. I was imagining living in a tiny little apartment (my house is already the size of a small mid-western apartment) that had maid service, a cafeteria where I could eat all my meals, a living area where…

I think in older cities it’s still a bit like this. Where my family lives in philly it’s row homes and there is always someone to play with for kids and someone to have a BBQ with or sit on the porch and watch the rain. I took my FIL and husband to meet my family recently and both of them were like “whoa how do people…

I’m honestly stunned this is the tract jezebel is taking. If there was any website whose writers more embodied ‘adult infants’ it would be the whiny, entitled, trust-fund Brooklyn girls who like getting hammered at 9 am on a weekday and then ‘borrowing’ an entire article to pass it off as journalism.

I can only assume…

This pretty much sums it up . .

Yeah it didn’t look so bad for me. If I had been single and had a real reason to move to NYC right out of college, I may have enjoyed a place like this. I don’t do well with roommates but I do fine with my own private room and went to a 4 year residential college. (Roommates means icky gross habits. Dorms mean there’s…

yes i am coming from coulture where parents live with kids who have kids and grandparents, been there done that, no more, but strangers?? cmon cmon cmon

That is an excellent point!

The price is silly, sure, but it sounds like kind of a great option if you’re moving to a new city and immediately want some social connections. I also presume that there are cleaners and maintenance is taken care of automatically, which takes out a lot of the risk and annoyance of living with random strangers who…

Going to dive into format painter tomorrow. Thx for the tip.

Each of your paragraphs is a little gold nugget. Good ass Kinja.

Good catch. It does look like a bunch of my apps “Documents & Data” sizes have gone down now

This worked very well. I went from 732MB to 1.9 GB after attempting to rent an HD movie. It helps to repeat the process a few times and to wait a minute before hitting “Settings” (which stops the clean-up process).
