you can do that on a mac too...

LIFE tricks, guys.

I was reluctant to post any PC tips and do feel some of them aren't exactly what people are expecting.

Here's a pretty solid one.

Buy microfiber cloths. Do not under any circumstance get them from wal-mart. Autozone has good ones fairly cheap, and I've heard Sams Club does, too. I want to say I spent $10 on a 6 pack.

Anyways, the two best applications I've found for these besides cleaning a vehicle are cleaning mirrors and cleaning monitors.

To clean a monitor, get one of them wet, they don't really absorb much water, but that's fine.

Rub it all over your window.

now take a dry one, and rub it all over your window.

Any streaks behind, simply take a dry one, and rub it over that spot. I have a pretty big mirror in my bathroom and it takes like five days for it to get covered in ****(i eat a lot of fiber) and I just keep two of these in there, it's definitely under a minute to clean the entire thing.

No streaks, lint, nothing. It's just so ****ing easy.

To do your monitors do the exact same thing. Easiest solution ever. **** you Windex.

for a cheaper method, use a normal cloth with water/soap? and wipe down with crumbled piece of newspaper.

pro tip: stop trying to hit the bowl from 10 feet off, and actually sit on the toilet seat.

normal cloths leave tons of streaks as well as lint.

newspaper works too but im not 50 so i dont get a subscription to the times

LIFE tricks being read on a COMPUTER which most of us spend most of our time in our lives on one.

thinking about installing vista 64bit too see whats going to happen..

**** yeah, microfiber cloths +1 million. i use one to clean my ipod screen. i'm still amazed at how clean it gets. it will wipe away quite easily streaks, smudges, etc that regular cloths just brush right over.

i know this is tricks but i figured one of you guys could clear the light for me, basically whenever a girl gets pregnant someone on here says get an abort and after the next few comments someone posts this:


and then everyone laughs i dont get the point or the backstory so i have no idea what you guys laugh can someone explain?

Just google coathanger abortion, it doesn't need to be discussed here.

lifetip: if you have a question, put the keywords in to google and you will get an answer!

Q-tips just push the wax further in, these things are absolutely awesome. May have been mentioned already in the thread I guess. Available at walgreen's.

for clarification is Windows Key + D = "show desktop" which minimizes everything. CTRL+D doesn't do much and is program dependent. Shows your time bank balance in FTP though.

i meant windows key, im super tired.

i also thought Ts had the objective in Office

you can make iced coffee at home for soooo cheap.

I was tempted to try those Ototek ear things, but there's only one place in TN that sells them, apparently, and their online ordering page isn't a secure website.

-On a 2 way highway / interstate, don't pass trucks who are in the left lane. They only are in the left lane to pass slower cars in the right lane. So moving to the right lane will put you behind the car that the truck is passing.

So you assume all trucks have optimum passing strategy? Just check out both lanes and see where your chance to make a move is. I ****ing hate trucks who try to pass trucks and then just drive side by side at the same speed.

Don't know if this qualifies as a life trick but here goes.

Holiday shopping - I have started making my shopping list on an envelope - inside the envelope I keep my cash/cards I am going to use to shop and a pen. When I buy something I cross it off the list and put the receipt into the same envelope. Makes it quick and convenient for people who may want to return, along with keeping an update to date list and track of how much you spent.

fwiw, i think this thread should be subtitled "sweet ass in ya face"
thx 27!

FTR, i tried the pistachio shell trick last night. great success!

Say you are at a convention or a fancy dinner with a big round table (bread and water is all ready set on the table).

The easiest way to remember which water/bread plate is yours...

Make an ok sign like the pic below. The right hand makes a "d" and the left hand a "b" which is also how your table is set: Drink on right side and bread on left side.

I'm missing something here. Why not just say drinks are on the right bread is on the left? Why the OK sign?
