Haha there’s always that! Your right that it’s probably more of a Lufehacker-esque guide, and it’s probably outside the realm of do-ability for average people, but the is definitely classic Lifehacker spirit and I love it. Read more

Absolutely! My discount was pretty paltry (literally $12 for the year), so I didn’t get quite as good a deal as you...all depends on your insurance, location, etc. But you make a good point: the 24/7 monitoring on the DIY systems is usually cheaper than the professionally installed systems, so if you want to spend a Read more

They definitely bleed sound, but again, I think you have to consider your use case. These aren’t the kind of headphones I’d use lying around the house or studying at the library, you know? More for exercising or walking to work or whatever. Read more

You're absolutely right, I had originally that the company had been around 10 years, changed it and didn't fix the number. Yikes! Thanks for the fix, I've changed the intro :-) Read more

My one year old LOVES these books. They don’t have “stories,” per se, but he likes to point to each thing on the page and have us tell him what it is “That’s a bus! That’s a plane!” and eventually we start pointing to them and he tells us what it is. Like an interactive vocabulary builder. And you can shove them in a Read more

Sure, the wig isn’t great, but I think a small part of it is our perception of Geralt being an older, less attractive, war-torn kinda guy. Henry Cavill is just too darn young and good looking. (Granted: this show takes place before the games, when everyone is a bit younger—Geralt, Yennifer, Ciriso that’s probably Read more

Hey, the 7506 is still around, and pretty inexpensive (as headphones go)! Maybe it’s just time to just get a new pair. I have a pair myself that I don’t use often but just can’t seem to get rid of... Read more

Learning this was the biggest turning point for me in clearing up my skin. It’s embarrassing to admit (both for me and for the dermatologist who didn’t explain it to me properly), but I had been using my prescribed benzoyl peroxide exclusively as spot treatment for YEARS to no avail. Once I realized it needed to be Read more
