I got a weeder to clear my lawn of goosegrass and dandelions. It leaves small holes when a weed is pulled. Do I need to fill in the holes or will these holes fill themselves?

I'm afraid to even google this as I'm trying to avoid all spoilers but if I sign up for HBO with On Demand will I be able to watch the entire 3rd season of Game of Thrones immediately?

So i had a discussion with a friend last night who told me about "Bulletproof® Coffee", which is coffee made with a low amount of Mycotoxin™, which is bad for you. He also told me about grass-fed butter and how good that is, and how big of a difference it can make. So im quite keen to order some from the states, but i thought i'd just check if anyone has any experience with it? And did you feel any difference from regular products, or is it just BS?

Butter on the other hand, will definitely have subtle differences between grass fed and corn fed cows, just like the meat. If it's standard American sweet cream butter like most butter in the US, or if you're using it for baking, I wouldn't waste your time on it, but good cultured butter might have some nice differences.

YES, If you live in a dry climate and don't frequently water your lawn. NO, If you live in a wet climate. Regardless, I'd fill them in. I'm a little bit OCD about that kind of stuff, so it would bother me.

Are there any devices which can play video files of various codecs on your TV over an ethernet LAN other than an actual PC dedicated to that purpose?

It runs on a raspberry pi. Go ahead and look into it. If it looks like something you might be interested in, I can give you more information. Expect it to take a little bit of tinkering to get to work perfect. Having a least a little Linux knowledge would be a plus but not technically required.

Plex can do this too, but it requires some sort of device attached to your TV that can run the client, such as a Roku.

To further clarify the playback question: there are a number of $150 and under devices that can handle 98% of the stuff you'd want to play instantly. The remaining 2% can be converted with a little extra hassle on your desktop before attempting to stream it (e.g. hi10p encoded files, obscure sound codecs, etc.). An actual PC at the TV is going to be nearly 100% effective, but you'll also spend a good deal more than if you buy a simple playback device. The WDTV player seems to be well regarded in terms of cost/quality.

Thank you for all the great suggestions. I know Linux, but I don't like playing around with configuration that much when I'm not being paid to do it, so I'm going to be looking at the WD TV Live.

Are there are societies where short hair is considered feminine and long hair is considered masculine? I was thinking about it today and I couldn't think of any, which is weird because there is nothing inherently masculine or feminine in hair length.

I was thinking about it today and I couldn't think of any, which is weird because there is nothing inherently masculine or feminine in hair length. I can't think of anything feminine, but a lot of societies had warriors that had to have long hair for queues. Also, Samson and his hair. Also, sort of related -- wigs with longer hair on men up til the 19th century or so.

Yes and no hipster is going to get upset if you call them one. I'm a self-professed "hipster" and it's just another subculture that people like to complain about even though most hipsters are just fine people, like in any other group arbitrarily defined by their taste in clothes and lifestyle choices.

On my old computer I had a program installed (I think it was just a browser extension) that made it so when I held down the right mouse button and dragged my cursor either left or right, the browser would go to the previous/next page. I'm having trouble tracking down this extension for use on my new computer. I can't remember if it was Chrome or Firefox I used it with back then, but I use Chrome now. e: It also drew a little line from the point where you started holding the boutton down, if that helps anyone track it down.

I hope this isn't spoilers but I watched Man Of Steel (batman didn't appear once) anyway on the planet Krypton they were having this weird energy crisis thing. Why didn't they land all the flying office buildings? I'm not in charge of earth's energy policy yet so my opinion might be uninformed but it seems to me that having every single building fly when you're having an energy crisis seems wasteful. Maybe those idiots deserved to die.

That feature is known generically as "mouse gestures" and you should be able to find an extension or whatever for it by searching that. If it's for Chrome, I'm pretty sure I used to have the same one you did and that's how I found it. Also, Opera has it as a standard feature.

Super advanced civilization has tectonic troubles... it's too late... to save ourselves... but this one son of Krypton will yet live... (ellipses because I think Kal-Jor or whatever his name is should sound like Captain Kirk.) I'm sure it's been retconned to hell and back since then but the premise and almost everything about Superman is terrible.

In my understanding, the core tenet of The Philosophy of Hipsterism is ironic detachment from, and simultaneous full participation in, a cultural activity. By that definition, every hipster would claim to be a hipster, yet not actually mean it. In practice I'm sure you could find some people that you considered hipsters that took legitimate offense at the label. I mean, the popular definition of "hipster" has basically ballooned to include everyone who wears plaid and does something that you think is dumb, so you're going to get a pretty broad range of people there.

So its raining pretty hard in St. Louis, and the Nation Weather Service just issued a flood warning for my area. Uncommon, but not unusual, and won't effect me. What was unusual is the way I got alerted. My phone, a pretty much factory settings iphone 4, just sent off a siren with the flood warning as a message. It wasn't a text or call, it just showed up over the main page. I've never seen or heard of anything like this, is this something new and how did they do it?

I didn't think plaid was really a limiting factor anymore--that seemed to me to be more a necessary characteristic of "grunge," really. Skinny jeans/thick-rimmed glasses/ironic t-shirts, etc. seemed to be more characteristic of hipsterism to me. But what do I know.
