Aggressive pricing posted:That's what anodes are for, it's all perfectly safe. Also, lol if you think running the taps means the water spent less time in pipes(unless it's well water). I said it was safe in the post you quoted. Also, I don't think a sacrificial anode provides protection from trace amounts of metal dissolving into a liquid since that isn't a chemical reaction (not that it really matters because, as I said, its more about preventing a possible off-taste than for health reason). I also don't consider an open air reservoir or a treatment plant a pipe and I doubt it takes 8 hours (the time water often sits stagnant while you sleep or work) for water to reach my house from either; not that it matters because city water can generally be considered fresh until it reaches your meter because there are enough other people using water that it basically has a constant flow at the street level. Also, once again, there is no health danger unless you have lead pipes. You can't believe how much I hate plumbing, so can we stop arguing about plumbing minutia and both go back to making fun of a guy who thinks tap water will give you Legionnaires' disease, but only if heated and consumed orally instead of its more common transmission route?

Walla! neongrey posted:Yeah but two bucks for a wire you can wash and reuse is like... one of the reasonable things in this thread. Lifehack: spend like a buck on a box of toothpicks instead of buying a cake tester! It costs a little less, comes with enough to last you the rest of your life, and you can just throw it away instead of having to clean it!

What's with this thread having gotten to the point where people get mad over a $2 piece of wire and ketchup squirters shaped like guns? There's laughing at lovely life hacks and then there's just "No you're wrong if you're not fully optimizing your life also no fun allowed."

neongrey posted:If nothing else, purpose-built tools and gadgets are like the opposite of lifehacks. They're plenty silly and dumb in most cases but like come on. That's part of the problem of 'lifehacks' though. All these articles that tout '15 kitchen life hacks' and ten of the 'hacks' involve buying some novelty unitasker from Thinkgeek and the other five are either overly complicated and / or flat-out wrong (like the 'making gummi worms in straws' macro). If you posted an article called 'Ten Fun Gadgets To Impulse Buy' and it was all that poo poo from Thinkgeek then nobody would care but when you try to tell me that a mustard gun is a lifehack I am going to tell you that you're a retarded idiot.

I guess; it depends on the list. More often I come across things like 'discard your obscure tool for this trick everyone does anyway!' or yeah the over-complicated/wrong/stupid things. Earlier on in this thread was actually the first time I saw a gadget listicle billed as 'lifehacks'. v  v

Has the website https://hackthemenu.com been posted yet? It definitely belongs here with its incredibly smug tone while having 99.5% of the "secret menu" items it lists from around the country be weird custom order crap that someone coined a name they thought was clever for (especially the dirty ones like the McGangbang, or a Dr. Pepper Orgasm from Sonic). The comments on each entry almost always include people who either have worked at that restaurant or were customers, explaining that that ordering that item either won't work, or else you'll just need the detailed (and often expensive) ingredient list to get them to make it. The whole Dairy Queen page is funny because each and every item there is on the standard menu pretty much nationwide.

[quote="MariusLecter" post="434657802"] This is also a good way to insure you get your partner pregnant if you plan on pulling out instead of wearing a condom. An awesome way to leave potentially viable sperm in your urethra that could be released with seminal plasma prior to ejaculation.

Probably over half of the things on there are "Special orders some dipshits gave a name to." Like the McLeprechaun Shake. No poo poo you can order a milkshake with half and half flavors. You'd have just gotten a blank look from any cashier at the stores I worked in, if you asked for a McLeprechaun. Ask for "Large milkshake, half chocolate, half Shamrock", and you'd get what you want without having to explain your special name milkshake. ETA: Hahahaha, Dipping Sauces, really? Not in the open? Like every McDonalds I've worked in, or been in, the next thing out of the cashier's mouth after you order nuggets is "What type of sauce would you like with that?"

Hot Wheels Tracks posted:[quote="MariusLecter" post="434657802"] In general, relying on pulling out rather than wearing a condom is a good way to get your partner pregnant regardless. Lifehack: don't rely on birth control methods approved by 19th century priests and just wear a rubber/use the pill.

Hot Wheels Tracks posted:[quote="MariusLecter" post="434657802"] Protip: peeing washes out/kills sperm remaining in the urethra, but seriously, don't rely on pulling out. Sobatchja Morda posted:In general, relying on pulling out rather than wearing a condom is a good way to get your partner pregnant regardless. Lifehack: don't rely on birth control methods approved by 19th century priests and just wear a rubber/use the pill. The calender method was the only birth control allowed by the church for the longest time. In fact, the Comstock Laws in the US were so strict they made it illegal even to teach pulling out and people went to jail over teaching poor people how to not get pregnant and then die giving themselves an abortion because they couldn't afford a 12th baby (wealthy people had more discreet family doctors). I know this is only tangentially related to what you posted, but I get worked up over the banning of sex ed and contraception.

Legit Subway lifehack: order the steak and egg instead of the plain steak. It's cheaper than the plain steak, but the Subway clerks put the same amount of steak on there because they don't know they're only supposed to use half as much.

Oraculum Animi posted:Straight unprotected sex also has that problem so you're actually just removing pregnancy from the equation? Basically, although an argument could be made that gays are slightly more likely to have an STD because for some reason people only seem to really worry about pregnancy. I seem to recall the highest transmission rates for STDs being teenagers (because they feel invincible), gays (can't get pregnant), and middle aged people reentering the dating scene (menopause and vasectomies are more common).

I seem to recall the highest transmission rates for STDs being teenagers (because they feel invincible), gays (can't get pregnant), and middle aged people reentering the dating scene (menopause and vasectomies are more common). And the elderly, they have some of the highest levels of STD's of any population because they are generally infertile, so they never think of protection. On top of that, there are extremely high rates of partner sharing because of the sex gradient skewing towards women since all of the men die earlier or become physically incapable of sex Lifehack: prevent grandma's STI by introducing her to the omegaverse The Door Frame has a new favorite as of 05:29 on Sep 24, 2014 |
