A few Lifehacker staff members were talking about nesting the other day. Another put a crib together by herself. While 8 months pregnant. So I asked ourOffspring Facebook Parenting Group: Did you (or your partner) nest? Plan for the nesting urge before you have the energy The first trimester is exhausting. There is no nesting going on in the first trimester. But one mom in the group thinks it is the perfect time to plan ahead for it....
Still, its worth making the effort if you see threatening messages online. There are also outside sources you might turn to if you stumble upon disturbing bias acts on social media. But first: Its fairly easy to report hate speech on major social media platforms. Its less easy to get the platforms to take action against purported hate speech. What is hate speech? Hate speech is sort of an amorphous concept....
If you want to see animals, go during the rainy season. Aside from it being the off-season (and likely cheaper), youll see the forests full of life. You dont need to buy plastic water bottles while traveling there. Like, everyone has a maid. Bosque del Cabo is an amazing lodge down there. Great food and comfortable bungalows. It is a bit warmer that San Jose typically. Here youll find the volcano Poas....
Adobe appears to have upset a number of users with another price increase for its app subscriptions. Thats business, folks. A word of caution, however: That only works for the first year. After that, youll get charged the full, standard rate. On the commercial side, Ive heard good things of Clip Studio Paint and Paint Tool SAI. Krita also has re-editable file layers, filter/effect layers and layer styles. It has a decently easy-to-navigate UI and allows you to save in a ....
Jeffrey Morgenthaler has made a lot of drinks. One word that describes how you eat:Comfort What do you eat for breakfast? [Laughs] I do. I dont even know what its called. What flavor is it? And I mix it with some frozen bananas and a scoop of peanut butter and some milk. So its just to stave off the mean hungries. What kind of coffee do you get? I drink a cafe au lait....
Phoebe Judge hosts and co-creates both of these independent, highly produced shows. I am sure it makes me pretty hard to work with. Then I spent 2 12 years as the Gulf Coast reporter forMississippi Public Broadcasting. Last February we launched our second show,This is Love. Take us through a recent workday. I wake up around 6:30. By 7:30 Ive checked email and Slack and Twitter. I have coffee and then I make a list....
Before Amsterdam had house numbering, they had a curious way of identifying addresses. The gable stone of a wine press. A quill pen indicates the owner is a writer. A ship might indicate the owner is a sailor. Some gable stones also served as decorations and talismans, quoting from holy scripture. Others contained whimsical quotes and visual pun. Many gable stones has been relocated from their original location to the Amsterdam Museum for preservation....
The idea was if all four newspapers published the same lie, few would question it. Each had been tasked by their editors to come up with something exciting to entertain their readers with. Each had come up empty. Denver, at that timetheDenver Post noteswas full of ethically challenged journalists. Harry Tammen, thePosts co-owner, was proud of it. He once said: The public not only likes to be fooled it insists upon it....
After some googling and consulting with women whod done it, I decided to give it a try. It was a revelationsuddenly oral sex and clean linens were possibilities during my period. (Dippy women will surely screw up their vaginas AND possibly die,a commenter concurred. Thats when I realized: I didnt know shit about TSS. I knew TSS was rare, but I didnt really understand what caused it. But now I wasnt so sure....
One of the key questions of investing is, naturally,what exactly to invest in. You know it should be a mutual fund, right? And youve heard that low cost and diverse are good. But what does that actually look like? (It does not considercash as an investing asset.) More active investors with different goals might consider something else. But for many of us, the hands-off approach works. The differences between total index funds at different brokers, should there be any, are likely negligible....
BearandSimplenote I feel a sort of normie shame when I actually like Apples default apps. But while several of my Lifehacker colleagues use third-party note apps likeBearandSimplenote, Im happy withNotes. It syncs easily through iCloud, its searchable, it uses folders. Ive even gotten used to the bad, unchangeable default font. Because crucially, Notes supports basic text formatting. Every otherwise decent Notes competitor is text-only or Markdown. I really dont understand this!...
Your heart beats fast when youre exercising hard, and slower when youre resting or sleeping. Your Apple Watch is taking your pulse all day long, and wants to tell you allllll about it. Theres a wide range of normal. If youre at rest, the watch only measures occasionally. Thats why your watch face may say 70 bpm, 9 min ago. But when you initiate the heart rate app, it takes a fresh reading....
People joke that all anyone care about on dating apps is the photos, and its kind of true. A picture says more than you realize about your taste, social life, and world view. Heres what to think about when youre choosing the perfect pic. A quick reverse image search will get to the bottom of who it is youre talking to. Warning: Its probably not the girl in the photos....
