yes it is

you can't solidly tap the neck

the 57 isn't on the neck, it's at the bottom of the neck

the heinz thing works, especially on just-opened bottles

real cities use plastic bottles.

I find sticking a butter knife in there does the trick.

So, so wrong.

Simplistically: Low cost index funds, ETFs, fixed income and cash.

Why all the love for the new parking kiosks? Those things are the devil.

You know that feeling you get when you pull up to a meter and it already has two hours on it. Feels like I hit the lotto. The digital kiosks have stolen that feeling from me; I have to pay every god damn time. Some guy pays for four hours then he has to leave after 15 minutes. I pull into the spot and what do I get, nothing. I should get three hours and forty five minutes of free ****ing parking. Instead I get to pay for the spot that has already been paid for. Digital parking meters are the devil I tell you.

Ketchup is a Bingham plastic, a fluid that acts as a solid until it's yield stress is reached at which point is acts as a liquid. It may be shear thinning as well like the other poster said, but this is the key point. Basically the angle at which the bottle is most comfortable to hold to tap on the 57 is about the optimum angle to reach the ketchup's yield stress with a bit of shaking.

In seattle I frequently find stickers on the meters that still have time left on them. People don't want their meter fee going wasted so they leave it there for someone else. Pretty awesome.

Technically true, but there are plenty of places around the bottle at the same "bottom of the neck" location that the 57 is printed....so yeah, good area to hit it but it's not like the 57 is magic.

Don't know how many people already know this but if you're pulling into or backing out of a parking space somewhere like a strip mall with a lot of windows in the front, you can usually use your car's reflection to see exactly where your bumpers and stuff are, and also if there's anything behind you. You can basically just breeze your way in or out of any spot with total situational awareness using this method. It also works great for parallel parking.

Also this egg peeling technique is pretty awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZtnAJmIIQ

For those talking about ketchup, just stick one of your french fries in the bottle and twist it a bit. The ketchup will flow easily.

I ordered steak nachos at Yolos inside PH, I got 5 chips with a piece of steak on top, sigh

That is awesome and just gave me an idea.

Around here we have a kiosk that is spaced every 10 cars or so. You pay your time and it prints out a receipt that you place on the dash. If you leave before the time is expired you typically drive off with the receipt. Next time I leave with time remaining I'm going to put my receipt on the kiosk.

throw your eggs into ice water directly after boiling, and you can peel really easy also as that technique seems hard to master with my bear paws

The new parking things are so evil. The block outside my old office used to be free. Now they just install one solar powered thingamawutcher and own everybody's soul.

It also means that you can now easily indentify the lazy and messy by how many of them they've got stuck to their window.

Some state you live in. For 10 years I tried the "respect" bit, the "I have no excuses bit", the "kiss ass" bit, everything. I never got out of any tickets regardless of how petty they were and only got breaks when I had a female passenger (2 times).

Recently I went to the "You are total scum cop I hate you just get on with your measly existence attitude". While not saying it out loud, I got pulled over for nothing and he followed me for a few miles (driving a red sports car obv). I was a complete ass, kept asking why I got pulled over for which he wouldn't tell me, and he came up to the window and threw my L&I back in and said "get out of here".

If you understood the situation in my city for crime you would understand why him following me is ridiculous. Pharmacy and gas station robberies every night, home invasions etc in a town of less then 100K ppl and a historically low crime rate.

Cops lulz

Oh my tip. When getting pulled over have a pretty blonde girl with big boobs in shotgun

How the hell are you people getting pulled over so much that your sample size for this is meaningful?

I totally do that!

They are the devil because to make a street pay-parking all they have to do is install one machine instead of meter after meter after meter. It's a big scam as always.

Riggghhhtttt...

You didn't get a ticket because you were an ******* and a dick to the cop. Makes perfect sense. Like, if you were nice, the cop would have given you one; but since you were a prick, he was scared and let you go.

what I do:
split it until it is roughly 50/50 and both agree
person 1 says which part he will take at heads/tails in advance
person 2 flips the coin

this way it doesnt matter if the 2 parts are exactly even
and both players still have the same ev

edit: and also no one feels betrayed/sad,
we all know the feeling when we split a bag,
villain gets to choose, oh its just so unfair I want that 0.1g!

-I'll 2nd, or 3rd, 4th that when you get pulled over: roll down your window and put your hands out, if it's dark out, put on your inside light first. When the cop comes up, just don't be a douche.

-When getting dropped off/picked up at the airport, use the opposite level of the terminal. Get dropped off at arrivals, picked up at departures.

-Use Mr Cleans "Magic Eraser" to clean your tub and surround. It cuts cleaning time by about 90%.

-To get a perfect steak you need to sear in butter and then bake to finish. Preferred doneness and thickness of steak dictates times. An oven-ready saute pan is huge.

-To get an even look to a painted wall. The last pass should be rolled from the top of the wall to the baseboard.

-If you wax your own car, use a clay bar first, then wax.

-Use Craiglook for quicker comparisons when using Craigslist.

I always laughed at the suckers who got up quickly when they started boarding, i was always the last one on the plane, why the hell should I wait in a cramped smelly airplane for other people to get on.

Then on one of my flights, i was seated in the back and all the carry on compartments up top were full. I had to put my carry on in the front of the plane which was terribly annoying.

WTF how often do you all split stuff up that any of the two parties actually care about the minimal difference between the two splits? Are we talking about cake here? I really don't understand how this is an issue for anyone over 12.

Lol Seattle. So polite.

There's a reason why you eat shrooms and smoke pot.

Don't smoke the shrooms or eat the pot.
