I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.

It doesn't, though. If it takes three minutes to brush your teeth, it takes three minutes whether you do it in the shower or out of the shower. In the shower just wastes MORE water.

Same with shaving in the shower.

Pissing in the shower, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable.

If you have the coordination to brush your teeth and wash another part of your body at the same time, then it's faster. I wouldn't even try shaving and washing up, though: that sounds like a bad idea.

I had a roommate who always did that. The first one, at least. According to him it saved time.

I do it. It doesn't save time at all. It's so I get to spend more time in the shower. Hot water feels nice.

What if you washed yourself with one hand, and brushed your teeth with the other. Both activities would take longer that way but I bet there'd still be a net gain.

But if you use one hand, it takes twice as long, therefore you lose all the time savings. Here is the real life hack:

I don't know if this is blurry because it was vibrating or because the picture was taken with a potato.



Use a suction cup dildo for the attachment, put it up in your shower at head level. Brush your teeth hand's free while you wash your body with both hands.

Corrupt? Dude if a cop pulls you over for doing a California Stop because he's low on his ticket quota, then you say "sorry I just have a lot on my mind, I just got fired, I'll be more careful" and he lets you off with a warning, that's not corruption. That's just having some sympathy.

You dont really get off for poo poo like that in Australia unless you've got basically no record.

Our next door neighbors are cops and we get invited to quite a few parties, BBQ's etc. Due to being incorrectly charged with using a mobile phone whilst driving, I made a point of asking every different cop what I need to do to get let off such a ticket, knowing that I would go to court with my phone records and get off it anyways.

Once a cop sees an offence, they're expected to ticket it. Even if they accept your excuse and/or admit they were wrong, they are still expected to give you a ticket.
It's completely up to them as an individual to decide against it and from what I hear, they can get in alot of trouble for doing it.


Oh and FWIW, if a cop ever asks for your mobile phone, they aren't looking up your call history, they just get your IMIE for their records, in case you upgrade/change your phone between then and the court case.
I've been told you don't actually have to give it to them, but if you don't, you can expect them to fully search and defect your car.

YES, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS ABSOLUTELY A KAIJU

Mr. Beefhead posted:

A quick way to tell if your freezer is at the proper temp is by checking if your ice cream is hard as a rock. If your freezer is warm enough to have soft ice cream, then everything else you're trying to store in there is going to get nasty much, much sooner.

I suppose ideally you could split your ice cream up into separate, single serving sized containers as soon as you get it home, while it's still soft from the trip from the store.

Actually, I might just try that the next time I buy ice cream.
If it's just about scooping the ice cream, you can just let it sit in a glass of hot/warm water whenever it seizes up, which is what some ice cream shops do with their scoops. You can also just microwave the whole container for ~10 seconds or so to soften it up without melting it and put it back in the freezer afterward.

Though, pre-portioning food, and especially snacks, is a pretty handy way of controlling your calorie consumption since the tendency is to grab way more than you need when anticipating a treat or going back for seconds.

You're not supposed to give actual good advice in this thread. Do something like this instead:


Life hack: Tape together 5 dinner spoons to create one powerful ice cream scooper!

Life hack: If you stab ice cream repeatedly with your largest knife, it will be easily scoopable!

Life hack: Eat the entire container of ice cream so you don't have to scoop it into a bowl.
