I'm a CS undergrad at a small Midwestern college. I spend too much time with my computers.

On The Finger-Wave Hair Tutorial
@allofthecrafts Snoods are the greatest and one of the easiest ways to deal with super-too-long hair. My hair went past "long and gorgeous" and landed at "too much to reasonably do ANYTHING with" a couple of years ago, but darn gradual change, I didn't notice.
However, in a few weeks, I'm going to kiss about 18 inches good-bye. I'm excited, but it's going to be traumatic.

On The Best Time I Was an Extra on Dawson's Creek
@Hellcat I hear soaking your nails in lemon juice or sticking your fingertips into half of a lemon can help. Or hydrogen peroxide, possibly. I've never personally tried either of these methods, though, so I can't tell you if they work or not.

On The Post-Valentine's Day Clean-up
@madge My understanding, gleaned from something I read on the internet, is that it takes way hotter temperatures than you get in a washing machine to kill germs, so hot vs. cold doesn't give much of a difference in sterilizing laundry. (What, Firefox? "sterilizing" can totally be spelled with a Z.)

On The Palm Oil Problem and Other Catch-22s
@wormlady That's why we're 'Pinners. :)
Seriously, it's all true. And I'm adding that book to my list of books that come recommended by trustworthy random strangers on the internet.

On The Palm Oil Problem and Other Catch-22s
@Emby I apologize for being really late. I'm in a timezone/with internet access that means I'm late to every party I want to go to.
But, jeez, yes, Jez and science and divergent views. I once called them on an article that was seriously objectifying a well-known and admittedly good-looking actor, on the grounds that Jezebel would be up in arms if this article had been published on a dude blog and written about an actress. I got a nasty reply from the author.
I quit reading Jez entirely when, in the space of about a week, they published three articles that ended in a sarcastic "Thanks, science!" I'm a lady CS student. I have lady friends who are math, physics, bio, and chem majors. I don't want to hear that science is the problem. Science is not the problem! The problem is the juiceboxes who are present in nearly every human endeavor!

Oh dear. My "want awesome shoes" urge is warring with my "BOOKS ARE SACRED" knee-jerk.

On Mark Twain, Killing it in The Friend Game Since 1903
I love Mark Twain. Sooooo much. I think I'll go do some re-re-re-reading.
