Block specific sites from Google search results<\/strong>
\nI use a Google Chrome extension called\u00a0uBlacklist<\/a>\u00a0to stop Pinterest results from showing up in Google searches. You can create a list of other sites you don\u2019t want to show up in search results, too. \u00a0uBlacklist replaces Google\u2019s Personal Blocklist extension, which it got rid of a while ago. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Hard science fiction<\/strong>
\nGood sign: I stayed up all night to finish\u00a0Delta-V<\/a>, the latest techno-thriller from Daniel Suarez. Besides being a page-turner at the end, no one has researched or described in convincing detail the logistics and science of mining asteroids in deep space as well as this book. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

This really is the best daypack for hiking<\/strong>
\nNow that its summer, I\u2019m seeing a lot of reviews for the best daypack to buy and I feel like I have to give my\u00a0Patagonia Nine Trails 14L<\/a>\u00a0a proper shout out. I tried on every pack they had at REI and ultimately decided to order this one online because of all its features. It\u2019s smaller than most other packs (1lb), and includes a 2-liter\u00a0HydraPak so I can hike and drink hands-free without having to stop and pull out a water bottle.\u00a0Aside from the main compartment where my HydraPak\u00a0lives, there\u2019s two more large compartments (one zippered, one stretch pocket) where I keep\u00a0an extra layer of clothing, snacks,\u00a0trauma pak<\/a>,\u00a0pStyle<\/a>, and more.\u00a0The waist belt has zippered pockets where I keep my keys, pepper spray, chapstick and a small bottle of sunscreen, but the most essential features are the two quick-stash side pockets where I keep my phone and sunglasses since I\u2019m always sliding those in and out.\u00a0My friend has an older version of this same backpack without the quick-stash pockets and is really jealous of mine. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Why is it so important for you to have a baby?<\/strong>
\nLast year I made the very important decision to not have children. This quiz<\/a> helped me figure out the true reasons I wanted to be a parent and I realized that those reasons were not really aligned with what I wanted for my life. After that came a lot of reading and therapy before I became confident that this was the best decision I ever made for myself. So in case anyone else is on the fence, here\u2019s a place to start. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

The long view<\/strong>
\nIn a time of great complaints about new tech, I am encouraged by the Pessimist Archive which goes through historical records collecting end-of-the-world rants about the horrors of such inventions as bicycles, subways, and electricity. Most complaints about modern things could have been recycled from 100 years ago. The Pessimist Archive is a necessary counterpoint to complain wisely today. I follow both their\u00a0Twitter stream<\/a>\u00a0and their\u00a0podcast<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Concentrated windshield washer solvent<\/strong>
\nInstead of buying windshield washer solvent in gallon plastic jugs (and paying about $5) I bought this box of\u00a024 6-ounce bottles of concentrated solvent<\/a>($34). One bottle makes 1.5 gallons of solvent. Easier to store, too. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
