Use two towels drying off. One for a rough pass and the other to get everything nice and super dry - including the wiping the condensation off the mirror.

It's kind of the same situation as Microbob posting about how ugly he is but still manages to get laid. It's not as if he's going out of his way to inject it into a conversation that clearly doesnt call for it, but it's mentioned just often enough to be suspect.

I also had an off egg-crack on the table where I didn't crack it hard enough and when I went to break it open some shell broke off and fell in the pancake mix, and the membrane just underneath it stayed in tact.

It was weird, but I think it was an anomoly. Still a good trick.

Not much of a life trick, but since somebody brought up cables:

monoprice.com

The ONLY place you should buy cables. Cheap as hell and just as good quality as BS monster cable crap.

this is very very wrong. But have fun with your adamantium plated diamond encrusts cables.

When involved in a poker session and you need to piss, flush the toilet BEFORE youre finished peeing. saves time. Also it creates a side-game where you see how well you can guess when to flush the toilet.

GENIUS!!!! I actually have to hold my handle down for a few seconds for the flush to actually work. So this will really help.

holy **** this is amazing

I'm sorry, I think you were looking for the "easy ways to need stitches" thread

I'm all about efficiency. I'm the kid who walks from point A to point B with a complete disregard for sidewalks.

A good purchase in terms of $/happy is a high quality bath towel. When you dry yourself with a fluffy, nice towel, it feels really good.

When you take a shower, two minutes before you turn off the water, make it colder than normal. This way you won't have to deal with the post-shower heat aura, and also it is better for your skin especially during dry weather.

**** that ****.

I actually don't like fluffy towels. I use and prefer beach towels.

Also better for your hair I believe

When you decide to make your own gin and tonic, do it in this order.
1. Ice cubes.
2. Slice a quarter of a lime down the middle so there's a slit but there's still one piece. Run that along the rim of the glass a couple times.
3. Gin.
4. Tonic

Most bars forget or simply don't have the time to lime up the rim of the glass. It ensures every single sip, you have the taste and scent of lime which mixes VERY well with the juniper of gin (Tanqueray's my personal favourite.) Also, never get Beefeater's Gin.

If after a long night of hard drinking, you puke up blood, it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong. Your stomach and/or esophagus lining may tear during vomiting, even without alcohol, and it heals within a few hours. Learned it after waiting 6 hours in an ER, yelling at a nurse, signing out without seeing the doctor, and going to the student clinic the next day.

This may just be a personal preference but when you're scrambling eggs, cracking the eggs into the pan and then scrambling them makes them taste better. It leaves your eggs fluffier than if you scrambled it in a bowl and then dumped it in the pan so if you're into fluffy eggs, go for it.

The first time you go to a bar, tip slightly more than you normally would. It leaves an impression on the bartender and if you become a regular, it could earn you some fringe benefits such as an extra finger or so of scotch, discount drinks, or free drinks sometimes.

don't cook your scrambled eggs until they are all firm. they will carry over cook. take off when slightly runny.

You're doing it wrong.

At the top of the page, find where it says 'My 2+2', click the little down arrow next to it and click 'Edit Options'. On the resulting page there are 5 distinct areas: 'Login & Privacy', 'Messaging & Notification', 'Thread Display Options', 'Date & Time Options' and 'Miscellaneous Options'. Under 'Messaging & Notification' there's a dropdown menu for 'Number of Posts to Show Per Page'. If you set this to 'Show 100 Posts Per Page' people will stop giving you wedgies at school.

lol 100

drinking until you puke isn't wrong?
