I’m in a small studio apartment, but I really want to add a small, low-set reading chair.
I want something that I can move around easily, but is still comfortable to sit in for a couple hours. Most importantly, though - it can’t be too deep. Nothing that sticks out into my living space a ton!
I’d like to find something modern-looking. I’m thinking of Rove Concepts or House of Noa. Any ideas?
I have a fairly large living room with tall ceilings, and I’m trying to find some relatively affordable lamps and lighting tricks I can use to make the room looks less dark and cavernous at night.
Help, please!
I’m wondering: is hanging a printed T-shirt worse than folding up the tee into quarters? I dont want to stretch or misshape the collar (I hate that wavy-collar thing that happens), and I like seeing all my clothes when I open my wardrobe - which means I’d need to fold tees into quarters for storage in my dresser.
Fellow picky clothes storage people: what should I do to minimize the wear and wrinkles in my tees? This is driving me a little more crazy than it should.
I’m trying to expand and refresh my enthusiasm for classical music, and I know the New Yorker is quite respected for its coverage through the years.
Can anyone recommend New Yorker profiles on musicians, conductors, composers, etc. that really capture the wonder, passion, and excitement of classical music? Ideally nothing super technical or inside baseball, but I’m open to variety!
I was recently gifted a subscription to the New Yorker, which has a strong reputation for its classical music profiles.
For any New Yorker readers out there, can you recommend some of your favorite profiles that really capture the magic, frustration, and excitement of classical music? I’m looking for anythinng on musicians, composers, conductors…passionate individuals who remind me why classical music deserves more fans.
I’m really tired of bright, overstimulating app icons that are constantly changing in design and color. I’m trying to keep my phone as non-addictive as possible, and I’m looking for help.
Ideally I’d like to have my apps organized in list format, with a tiny black/white icon and its name next to it. For apps I don’t use that often, it would be great to organize them into folders I could “click” on when needed.
Are there any fairly simple ways to design something like this, or apps that would help me achieve this? I’m just tired of the giant app icons that feel like digital advertisements.
I’m really hoping to find a chest of drawers pr piece of furniture that has many, many shallow drawers - ideally 8 or more drawers, 1” deep or less. (Also, is there a general name for furniture pieces like this?)
I’ve always wanted something like this because I’m a bit of an organization nut - there’s nothing I love more than when I open a drawer and can easily see all of its contents (aka not accumulated junk buried in layers!).
Are there any decent pieces of furniture like this out there? Or retailers that tend to sell items like this?
Style-wise, I’m looking modern, bright, and clean design (low-end: Ikea; high-end: Room & Board, BluDot).
I’m really hoping to find a mid- to light-weight sweatshirt-type garment that fulfills these wants:
-Breathable & not too heavy (100% cotton)
-Full-zip, so it’s easy to take on/off
-No collar, because they make my neck sweat
Has anyone found anything like this I can buy in the US? Right now I wear the lighter version of Patagonia’s Better Sweater, but it’s a still a little too heavy for warmer days and it has a collar.
Suggestions very much appreciated!
I’m trying to find a lightweight, 100% cotton full-zip sweatshirt *without* a collar, and *without* a hood.
Basically looking for something that checks these boxes:
-Lightweight and breathable (100% cotton)
-FULL-zip so I can easily take on/off (*no* quarter-zip!)
-*No* collar (they make my neck sweat too much)
Is there anything out there like this I can buy in the US?
I can’t see certain replies to my post. It looks like all of the replies I cannot view are coming from users with an “18”/adult icon as their profile image.
The weird thing is, I get notifications about their reply, can read the beginning of it in my notifications center, but when I go to click on the reply - nothing.
Can someone tell me how I can read the full list of replies to my posts? I’m pretty sure I have the “allow NSFW/18+” permissions on my account as well.
I’m a newbie to espresso, and I have a question that may seem silly: how do you guys deal with espresso sediment at the bottom of your iced drinks?
I tend to drink my iced espresso drinks with a straw (sensitive teeth, yes, I’m a nerd), and it’s kind of annoying when my first few sips have espresso grit in them.
Is there some sort of gadget or trick I can use to quickly filter out the grit in my espresso shots? Or perhaps some sort of way I should be ordering my drinks at a cafe?
Again, might be a silly question, but with warm weather approaching, just wanted to see what tricks I can use to perfect my iced espresso drinks!
So one of my favorite comfort podcasts has suddenly disappeared from iTunes without any notice, and I am completely bereft.
This is the only place I’m aware of that this podcast existed, and I am desperate to think of places or tricks I could use to re-locate some episodes.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Are there any savvy pod folks out there who know how to resurrect a podcast from the digital void? I just want to have a few episodes I can cherish!
I need to purchase a monitor arm, but I have a problem: my desk has no lip for a clamp, and it cannot be drilled into (I’m borrowing it, not allowed to alter it).
Are there any monitor arm options for desks that: a) cannot be drilled/altered, and (b) don’t involve a clamp?
I was thinking about floor monitor arms as a possibility, but couldn’t find any that could be pulled forward or pushed backward.
Any suggestions would be appreciated by my neck!

I’m trying to find a simple wearable and/or app I can give to a friend who has terrible neck and shoulder pain from hunching over a desk.
I’d like to find something that will “remind” him to fix his posture, or ideally a small device that can sense when his neck and/or shoulders are bent over and can remind him to change posture.
Tech-wise, I’m looking for something iOS-compatible (my friend also has an Apple Watch).
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Has anyone here made their own shelf risers and shallow organizing boxes? I have a ton of cabinets that I’d like to divide up with shelves and container boxes, and the prices for pre-made risers and containers have become way too high to purchase for an entire apartment.
I’m trying to make some pretty basic items, and I’m fairly handy - I’m just wondering if there are materials or guides people have used.
I recently fell in love with Blue Bottle’s instant espresso and instant coffee, but I’m in the Midwest and would like to find others I can easily get at the store.
Are there any good options at somewhere like Whole Foods? I tried the Starbucks option and I’ve had Mt. Hagen before, but I’m not too impressed by either.
I’m having a hard time finding a comfortable reading or lounge chair that isn’t particularly deep - I don’t want a chair that sticks out too far. (For example, the back of the Poang makes it too deep for my small space).
The reason for this is I’m placing the chair in a small bedroom that already has a bed in it, so I need a compact yet cozy option that won’t stick out too much into the center of the room.
What are the best options (in the US) for a chair like this? Ideally I’d like to find something at Ikea, but similar options from other places are also good.
Is there an easy way to save a GIF from a twitter post when viewing it on the twitter website (not the app)?
Occasionally I’ll receive a link to a twitter post and when I view it in Safari on my iPhone, I can’t click and save the GIF. Sometimes if I press and hold the GIF, it will save the still image, but not the animation.
