Turns out neither my wife nor I give a damn about whether the other knows where we are 24/7 or not. Frankly, I don’t think either one of us really cares about where the other is 99.99% of the time, but FmF is really useful the other 0.01% of the time. She doesn’t have to bug me about whether I’ve left the office yet.…

In all honesty if I get diagnosed with something super serious and they tell me I’m a “fighter” I’ll probably laugh at them, maybe kick them in the shin. I accepted a long time ago that I’m going to die short of life expectancy thanks to a litany of genetic annoyances and mediocre self-care.

This comment is beyond stupid. How would I take my dog hiking or other activities that enrich his life? This is fine if you have a small shitty dog that is useless and basically just a stuffed teddy bear, but never taking your large working class dog anywhere is pretty much torture for him. I’m guessing you’ve never…

I wish there was a way to turn off the marketplace when I’m searching for stuff. Most of the time I will only buy from Amazon itself. And it’s annoying too find an item that has Prime Shipping only to find it is some seller in their marketplace. Occasionally they let me check a box for seller, but a lot of times that…

Did anybody else have a Dyson that really disappointed?

They might be “in pain.”

It deletes them everywhere. To reduce storage photos take up on your iPhone, you have to go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Photos and Camera’, then select ‘Optimize iPhone Storage’. This will keep a very low resolution version of the image on your phone stored. If you want to see it in full resolution you just have to click…

Apple Airport Extreme - it’s the only router I’ve owned (other than the Express) that doesn’t constantly drop my devices and generally fuck around then die a sudden death. It does a great job of getting the majority of my provided speed to my devices over the wireless: I generally pull 250+ of my 300mbps even in other…

Maybe just me, but that is butt ugly.

I’ve been using my Fibrox (ugly green handle) for four months now without a single honing session, and it’s still as sharp as new. It may feel cheap in your hand (and in your wallet), but the blade is the real deal. Good torsional rigidity, too.

I don’t know why, but the addition of milk makes that cocktail all the more disgusting.

This. I turn off the tv, radio, etc. and just enjoy the task (which becomes less a task and more - dare I say, pleasure?).

I’m the friend that makes a lot more money and usually I’ll pick up the tab when we go out. Honestly, paying an extra $50-100 for a meal a few times a month isn’t going to break my budget, but it may be half or all of my friend’s budget. Hanging out with friends should never be a cause of stressful money situations.

to be fair, I still thinks it’s easier to rename a file by just clicking on the file name

“Alexa, will it rain today?”

Can you get it to read the weathet to you instead of just displaying it? I’m talking about waking up in the morning, saying “Hey Siri, what’s the weather today?” and have it read it back to me so I don’t have to get up and look at the screen.

I think this is the hardest thing for people to grasp. If your bone is broken, everyone sees the problem. If your brain is calibrated wrong (or even just differently), then no one really recognizes it.

Those Contigo mugs are awesome. Mine suffered a 20mph tumble off my car roof, and is still leak proof.
