Corelle still uses the same really excellent formula they've always used, though. I have a mixed set of new and old Corelle dishes (<1 yr old and >10 years old), and I can't tell the new ones from the old ones.

You could try different combinations of beds, pillows, blankets, white noise, blackout curtains-- there are lots of different ways to adjust your sleep environment to do a bit of trial-and-error to find out what helps. I found that I sleep

I'm impressed that your buses are quiet. In SF, the city buses rattle my entire house when they pass by a half-block away. It's more "vibration" than "noise", but the whole house shakes and I hear clattering of

That seems clever at first glance, but I'm not sure it actually makes sense. If they laid off sales and recruiters, but need to hire software engineers, it's not like the sales people were fungible resources who could've just

My friend group is pretty economically diverse and also cost-conscious, and most of our social activities are free or nearly-free. We hang out in public parks, get together in each other's homes, and go hiking, camping, or to beaches.

I rate my voice assistants by the quality of their "animal of the day"-- by this metric, Google Home is the clear winner. It's hard to even get Alexa to play you an animal sound, while Google has a really thoughtful Animal of

One key role for a manager is being able to detect who's feeling unmotivated or trying to bullshit you or has something going on in their life that's affecting their work, so that you can dig in to understand more and address the

That seems like an unfortunate choice of vehicle to commute many hours per week alone in, unless maybe you work in construction and need to haul things to the site (in which case spending more on transportation seems worthwhile as a core pa

I don't think keeping phones away from kids is enough to solve smartphone addiction. There are lots of smartphone addicts who were already adults before smartphones were invented-- I was well into my 20s when the iphone was invented, s

I feel a little silly asking this, but how do you lower a weight without lifting it first? What does it mean to do eccentric-only exercises?

Are you doing that with the apostrophes on purpose? Apostrophes don't mean "here comes an S".

I did a side-by-side-by-side with Impossible, Beyond, and real beef patties. I thought the Impossible was fantastic and just as delicious as beef (although I wouldn't mistake it for beef), while the Beyond was mediocre by comparison. I

I took 3 years of Latin and it was among the most useless things I've ever wasted brain cells on. I wish instead I had taken a language people actually speak (spanish, french, mandarin, anything really), to learn about other cultures a

I just bought a folding treadmill that fits under my desk, and I'm starting to experiment with walking while in meetings or while reading/reviewing docs/code/etc. (I generally can't walk outside while in meetings be

There are a lot of plusses to Radpower bikes. Overall I think they're in a real sweet spot for features + affordability for a lot of people.

Bill Gates' recent book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster" is a pretty comprehensive look at the landscape of how to change course on climate. I liked it. It's fairly optimistic overall, but it'll definitely take LOT

I haven't measured my typing speed pre/post, but I recall it being pretty easy to switch, and within a few days(?), my typing speed didn't feel like it was slowing me down. If you already touch-type 100% "correctly"

I use a split keyboard with a trackpad in the center between the two halves. It means my hands move even less than reaching over to use a mouse, and it doesn't matter how big my keyboard is, because I never have to reach out beyond the

What is your goal in learning new programming languages? Learning just a beginner level of several/many languages could help you gain a broad perspective on the industry by understanding how languages differ from each other, their comm

I recall the same "everything coming together" feeling, but for me it didn't happen until Applied Biochemistry in grad school. I recall the final exam being only a single question, with a bunch of blank lined pages to write y

I had previously failed to find the Notification settings under Privacy that another commenter pointed me to--I think these solve my problem. If you found even more granular settings, please let me know where you're setting them. A few

I deleted the Uber app and stopped using their service specifically because there was no way to turn off only their spammy marketing push notifications, and I didn't want to turn off all push and miss a ride, so there was no way for me

No, this game is not fun. I've played it quite a few times and found it addictive, but not in a fun way. I had to force myself to stop playing it because I realized it was just frustrating and un-fun and you never get any better at it

I have a couple pieces of furniture where I've added custom parts to make them roomba-compatible so it wouldn't get stuck on them. I've also gotten rid of more than one piece of furniture because it didn't play nice with

Yep, I totally agree. Terminating a much-wanted pregnancy for medical reasons is also tragic. There's no good way to lose a child.

I'm guessing maybe you don't have kids? By the time my kid was 12 months old, I was emotionally attached enough that losing her would've been a life-destroying level of devastation. I don't think your thought exercise wo

If consumers know which products have more microplastics and are able to avoid them, it'll produce market forces that encourage businesses to reduce the microplastics in their products. The free market doesn't always move in the r

OTOH, the time I spent learning Octave/Matlab for Andrew Ng's course was 100% wasted time, because I've never used it again in the 10+ years since I took the class, whereas time spent learning Python would've been useful
