My grocery store's app requires me to "clip" coupons if I want to use them. Instead of clipping just the ones that I need, I would just take 2-3 minutes to tap the clip button repeatedly (as you clip the next coupon moves up

Have done this twice recently. Did not own shares in either company outside of likely ownership in 401ks or index funds. They don’t check. Ridiculously effective.

I’d like to see something for this for travel sports.

I asked a French friend who comes from a long line of hunters. He'd never heard of it either. There are quite a few French woodcock preparations that include eating the guts, but I've never heard anything about tapeworms. I'v

“Destroyed” forest are perfect Warbler habitat—at least for the Kirtland’s Warbler which requires dense areas of young jack pine. That means either fires or logging are essential to their survival. So if you mean don’t pave over forests, th

There’s a TikTok account that shows up in my feed from a lobster fisherman with a series called “Will It Fish?” where he tests Baird suggested by his audience. I find it quite enjoyable.

An IM with repeating <h1><br> tags until you hit the character limit was good for about 30 seconds of lag/freezing on the Mac client. 10 of those in fast succession would pretty much make you have to restart your computer.

The YouTube Kids AppleTV app is also horrible. It freezes and needs to be restarted constantly immediately after opening. But even worse is that there is no way to quickly rewind or fast forward. You can only use the skip 10 seconds buttons

In 7th grade my English teacher had us each put together a book on grammar. I used "The Far Side" cartoons to illustrate all of the rules that I had learned. I wish I could link to it, but the only copy, a hard copy, is somewhere

One thing thing that I love about Apple Maps is that they have the name of every river, stream, creek, and ditch if you zoom in far enough. I can't find this information in Google Maps (maybe there's a way to find it, but zooming

Even "real" truffle oil (or butter or some other fat) need not contain real truffles. It's quite easy to infuse fats with truffle aroma. If you put truffles and a fat (with sufficient surface area in contact with the air) in

One of my favorite cooking videos is "Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Kit Kats" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nqJiBRNQuw It's a perfect example of hacking without a computer. There is a whole series

This is my frustration. I'd prefer to shop elsewhere, but the convenience of walking to Whole Food and grabbing whatever I need (or at least trying to) is hard to pass up when the alternative likely requires getting in the car. My stro

I live less than a five minute walk from a Whole Foods (Chicago - North Ave), so I shop there quite a bit even though I'm not a huge fan of the store. While I haven't seen empty shelves like the photos from the article, I have bec

When I was at Cornell in the mid 2000s, one of the frats did a prank similar to this--though all it took was a roll of quarters. They loaded up the jukebox in the Ivy Room with quarters and set it to play Chumbawumba's "Tubthumpin

There's also a tax benefit in the U.S. Taking the capital gain can be far more favorable than taking the profits of the business as regular income.

My 9 roommates and I paid $60k a year for one of those decrepit old houses--and this was 10 years ago. At $500 per month each, it didn't seem that bad, but we really got ripped off. The density of college living (for instance I had to

A family friend was one of the people who helped develop the Lyme vaccine. He invited my Dad to be part of the trial because my Dad spends a lot of time outdoors. It turned out that my Dad got the placebo during the trial, but they let him

One thing that they don't talk about at all is meat quality. Whom you buy your brisket from can be much more important than optimizing every detail of the smoking process.

I wrote the company profiles myself. I found all kinds of companies with jobs that weren't posted on any other job boards. Growing an initial audience was the easy part for me because my site was very different from other job sites. Mo

Yes, that's true. I was actually surprised that they didn't exit for more. Ask question 1 again and replace Indeed with Google.

I ran a company in the college employment space for 7+ years. I recently shut it down. At our peak we had 150-200k unique visits per month and an email list around 10k. I was scraping by and making a living, but we weren't selling job

It also drastically increases a recruiter/hiring manager's time spent looking at résumés if they can't skim them.

I wonder if they could use the motion sensor to alert people of a low battery. I'd much rather hear a chirp every time that I walk by than while I'm half way through a good night's sleep.

Because the alarms are so annoying, people often end up disabling the alarms and never replacing them. That's dangerous in the long run. In the short run it's dangerous to try to disable an alarm in the middle of the night. I wond

I was going to agree with you, and then I remembered the night that the smoke detector in my rental started chirping every few minutes. It was around 3 AM. We had really high ceilings, so if I stood on a chair, I could almost reach the smok
