Or just get a pair of Onion goggles. They look hilarious, prevent you from crying like a little bitch when cutting onions and they can be used while grilling to keep smoke out of your eyes as well.

If you're ready to drink until puking, eat a cucumber before. The puke will have a fresh hint with it.

If you know you're gonna puke in no minutes with nothing in your stomach, try drinking a lot of water quick. You will actually just pour out the water which will be so much better for your throat (and mouth/nose feeling, smelling etc.) than throwing up your stomach acid.


Anyone saying, wtf, why would you ever want to puke? Easy, we all have done it.
The next farking day we all say "oh no, never again!" but we will do it ever again. we will drink alc, we will continue when we're tipsy, continue when we're sick. continue when we just puked. It's like calling with AJo. You never listen to yourself after the "bad beat".

In a recent discount thingy by collecting stickers from the supermarket, I got myself a ~120$ Santokuknife from Zwilling. (Santokuknives being an allrounder knive for veggies, meat and fish)

oh - so - good!

if you ever wanna cook your own food, you should get a quality knife, cutting is so much fun with it. I never thought tomatoes would split so easily. Almost as they feared the knife and getting cut before the knife actually hits. Opening mozzarella-bags without using force, just like moving a pen. so much better than my old 15$ santokuknife.



And totally get yourself a rubstone to sharpen it.

The home spun wisdom that a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one is only true up to a point. A super super sharp knife like that is hella dangerous.

Yeah I totally stopped doing alcohol while using the knife for cooking for the sake of loving to still have ten fingers.

But hey, if you're allowed to drink or drive, you would be able to work with a real knife, no?

Actually, I don't use the knife as a sharp tool to cut through things, the knife uses me as a force to feed its soul with cutting. I'm amazed and cautious with it. That thing showed me respect.

yeah, no one will ever think you're a little bitch if you're wearing onion goggles.

great way to heat up a piece of pizza, faster than baking in the oven. make sure to pour out the crumbs first.

i mightve already said this itt.

Reheat pizza in a pan on the stove top. You get a nice crispy base too.

You guys talking about using super sharp knives while drunk really has me on edge

Who talked about being drunk AND using a knife? I clearly stated I don't. I actually said we're allowed to drink, we're allowed to handle a car. Then we surely are allowed to use a heavy knife.

You shouldnt drink and drive, you shouldnt drink and use a knife. Easy. (Not a lifetip here, but if you think its useful, then grats)

This should probably go without saying, but don't call in sick your first 3 months on the job. You are on secret probation for about that long whether you realize it or not.

This is not true.

If you got prebaked baguette that need to get in the oven (400°F) for 8-10 Min I just put them into the microwave for ~20 seconds.

the baguette gets really soft then, super easy to cut 2/3 way through it, flip it, press it down until you got a good flat piece to place your food on.

I'll ad salami, ham and whatnot meat on it, top it with cheese and throw it in the (preheated!) oven for 3-4 minutes.

When it comes out the meat is nicely hot, the cheese has melted good and the baguette is a mixture of soft and crusty, super to eat and zero chance of ripping your mouth.


Earlier I just baked the bread, then added meat/cheese, bake again til cheese melt. After eating i was like "oww my mouth" for at least 30 minutes. Never again!

To clean all that baked on splater from the inside of your microwave, fill a bowl with water and put it in there for like 2 minutes - it will steam up and most of the mess will easily wipe off with a paper towel.
A+ thanks

Oh they definitely will. But you'll look so stupid that there is no need to make fun of you. Ultimate defense is to pretend that you don't hear them, that way they have to get real close to make fun of you, then BOOM they start crying like a little bitch and respect the goggles.

I'm not getting anything right here.

But here's another tip:

If you wanna bypass rake in MTTs, play a rebuy.

A 1.10$ Rebuy will be playing like a deep-stack 2.20$ tourney for 2.10$
After the addon you will be in a super-stack tourney for 3.10$.
Saves you 66% of rake. With added rakeback you will be paying 0.073$ instead 0.3$ Thats actual 75% less rake than a normal mtt w/o rakeback.

And if you bust out while in Rebuy Phase, you can choose to start again with 1$ or 2$ (or whatever level you play on), but also without rake.

Like you play two 2.20 tourneys which add on to 40 cent of rake.
Playing a 1.10 with Rebuy, dropping out and rebuying for 2$ you now have paid 4$ + 0.10. (4 + 0.073 with rb - gives you 81% less rake as if you just played two 2.20ers )

I am not sure what you are saying Uhrenknecht, but I am pretty sure there was no way to beat the rake. But doesn't matter online poker is dead.

Home tip: Buy a hoodie that's one or two sizes too large. If you're not going out you can wear this around the house and it will be super comfortable.

This might have already been posted re: chopping onions, but hold a matchstick in your teeth while cutting. Whatever chemicals are making you cry get absorbed/eliminated by the match's tip.
