Extend your Wi-Fi<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve tried many ways to extend Wi-Fi through my house. Powerline networking, which creates networks through electrical wiring, works the best.\u00a0TP-Link has a $54 kit with 2 units<\/a>. One unit plugs into your wall outlet and router. The other unit can be plugged into any wall outlet in your house to provide Wi-Fi in that area. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

If you like Recomendo, it\u2019s worth your time to check them out. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Never run out of things to watch<\/strong>
\nThis\u00a0database of secret Netflix genres<\/a>\u00a0will help you out when you can\u2019t find anything to watch. Otherwise how would I ever realize I was in the mood to watch a\u00a0Mother-Daughter Relationship Thriller<\/a>\u00a0if I never knew it was an option? Some of the category codes currently have no movies that fit the description, but that\u2019s understandable when they\u2019re so specific. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Japanese transit<\/strong>
\nJapan is one of the most convenient places in the world to travel. Public transit \u2014 both local and long distance \u2014 is ubiquitous, frequent, fast, insanely prompt, safe and reliable. However its ubiquity means there is a labyrinth of so many routes that your journey can be an impenetrable puzzle \u2014 not to mention the real hurdle of the language barrier. To the rescue comes\u00a0Google maps<\/a>. If you chose the transit option for directions it will provide you with brilliantly designed color-coded instructions on which subway\/bus\/trains to take, exactly where to catch each leg, which line, how many stops, how many minutes you need to walk between, the price, and all the alternative routes, in English. Since Japanese transit runs like clockwork, all this precision turns you into a relaxed native traveller. (Google maps provides similar instructions all over the world, but for Japan\u2019s maze of transit, this is game changing.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Handy hooks<\/strong>
\nMy husband put these\u00a0plastic hooks<\/a>\u00a0up all the around the house (bedroom\/pantry\/kitchen\/shower) and no hook goes unused. You\u2019ll be surprised what you can find to hang when the hook is there. Another plus is that they\u2019re white like most of our walls, so they\u2019re barely noticeable when not being used. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Quotes I’m pondering<\/strong>
\nThere will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning. \u2014 Louis L\u2019Amour<\/p>\n

What looks like tomorrow\u2019s problem is rarely the real problem when tomorrow rolls around. \u2014 James Fallow<\/p>\n

Never take a job for which you are qualified. You won\u2019t grow. \u2014 Esther Dyson<\/p>\n

That we were absent for a great expanse of time in the past causes no fear. Yet, our impending absence in the future is cause for terror. \u2014 Brian Greene<\/p>\n

Too many people worry about what AI will do to us. Too few worry about what Power will do *with* AI. \u2014 Zeynep Tufekci\u200f<\/p>\n

Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity beyond the resources you currently control. \u2014 Howard H. Stevenson<\/p>\n

What you seek is also seeking you. \u2014 Rumi<\/p>\n
