   I still regularly use checks to pay for water and to a few contractors. My small city charges a silly fee to pay by card and spending $0.55 and 5 minutes of time is worth it. Contractors prefer checks for the same reason, and will sometimes

   Get a good controller and use the Steam Link app as a cheap and easy way to extend your PC to wherever you have good wifi. I have a Razer Kishi and it delivers a very good switch-like experience.

   > It just seems like people are running out of excuses at this point. I wonder what they'll be saying when BTC hits $100,000. At what price will I be able to buy a cup of coffee conveniently?

   I'm very confident Stadia will shut down, but I'm also confident Google will give some offramp for people who bought games, either by refunding the full price or offering a digital key for some storefront.

   I noticed polls don't work on old reddit. Then don't even show in the feed. If you visit the poll directly it expands as some sort of embedded new reddit.

   I tried ingredients for my current obsession: sauerkraut, just cabbage and salt. Naturally it did not reinvent sauerkraut. How many of those 2M recipes included a fermented portion? Will I get instructions to combine ingredients and let sit

    It should be noted that you should contact them about their mistake in the most private way possible, then escalating slowly as the need arises. This follows the "praise in public, punish in private" maxim.

    For some classes, especially as you get higher in fields, no amount of open books will help you in an exam. If you're able to figure out the material using a book then and there while not knowing it before, you deserve the grade.

    I regularly use sad emojis when I let my boss know I just screwed something up in production. For celebrations we use giphy.

    My smart tv constantly gets in the way. If I boot up a game device it starts with a footer bar with apps and such that won't disappear for up to a minute. I have to press back on the remote if I want it to go away faster. If I accident

    I would support Airbnb if it encouraged the couch-surfing model more. As in, the owners live on the property full time and have an extra room or couch they'll willing to lend out, with extra amenities to make it worth some amount of mo

    Following from alternate stores on consoles, we're not far away from Valve's SteamBox, i.e. prebuilt PCs marketed for living room play. I'm disappointed the idea never took off. I would love the game industry to fully embrace

    Focus Home Interactive publishes some great AA games. I'm very glad publishers like them continue to exist.

    I would say the best place where everyone could donate time effectively would be a mentorship program like the Boys and Girls club. Having a positive role model, even just hanging around doing "boring" stuff, makes a huge differen

    I found a tin of cocoa powder manufactured in West Germany during a kitchen renovation. I opened it and it smelled exactly like freshly bought powder. No idea what I'm going to do with it, but disposing of it is right out. Eventually I

    In the last several years I've manually installed maybe two apps on my Android devices. I would be really upset if I couldn't use this oft-used but valuable tool.

    Yet another reference from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (first referenced in Black Dossier) that passed me by. Alan Moore certainly knows how to dig deep into literature.

    I get the same sensation when eating other fermented foods, like sauerkraut (which is also very easy to make, just pulverized cabbage and salt). I assume it's my gut flora sending happy signals to my brain.
