RPATDO_LAMD posted:If you're going to get fast food, you already don't give a gently caress about your arteries and just want something drowning in salt, fat, oil, and/or sugar. McDonalds burgers have a much higher chance of tasting like poo poo than other fast food places. I know it's kind of an oxymoron to say that you should at least try to eat GOOD fast food, but all McDonalds has going for it is that it's dirt cheap and that is not a good thing.

Lifehack: Don't piss off the Subway employees by making them jump through a bunch of hoops, because there's a discreet cut they can make that will make the sandwich fall the gently caress apart as soon as you unwrap it.

I think I've gotten that cut before, and I doubt I personally did anything to piss off the employee, as I usually try to be polite and reasonable. I can only assume I was a victim of "bad day" syndrome, and got lucky.AngryRobotsInc posted:Depends on the fast food place and the item in question. Like the BK Veggie isn't listed the menu (at least anywhere I've been), but you can pretty much order it at any Burger King and they don't really care because it doesn't take long to make. Yeah, my first job was at a McDonald's, and only lasted a month before I burned the poo poo out of my hand (still have the scar nearly 20 years later) and the most they were willing to do for me was unpaid leave for the rest of the day, not even a goddamn band-aid. But we would get the "grilled cheese" all the time, which was easy, because it was just cheese on a toasted bun. Once I got a guy however that really gained the system, because he custom ordered his cheeseburger into a double quarter pounder without having to pay for the difference. I couldn't believe this guy's nerve when I saw the order screen display that. In the same vein, when opening once my manager decided to make himself a breakfast fajita, years before that was on the menu, as we already had the ingredients on hand.

Are the rules on how much of what to use at Subway different if you don't order any meat? I get vegetable subs from there and they will pile on tomatoes, onions, and peppers until it's mounded up so far that the bread isn't even visible when I unwrap it. I have to use a fork and eat it as a salad until I work my way down to the bread.

If you think about it, the whole concept of restaurants is a pretty big life hack. Go order food and get meals that you like every time, and you don't even need to know how to cook them! And they even wash the plates for you!

Tiggum posted:I've never been able to understand how anyone can think that getting low-fat milk is noticeably healthier. Full-cream milk is between 3.2% and 3.8% fat. Low fat is generally 2%. Even if you go for no-fat milk, how much milk are you drinking that this even matters? Whole milk has 148 calories per cup, while skim has 83 calories per cup. I drink milk regularly, so 44% less calories is a good thing. I'm not sure how that's confusing, milk is delicious and healthy.

Regarding the poutine, I'm sure you can convince someone to dump the gravy and cheese from their regular menu on top of the fries from their regular menu (also, Poutine is/was a menu item at some Canadian locations). Lifehack: People might help you out if you ask politely. Most of the "secret menu" poo poo, at least originally, was "sometimes you can order regional, discontinued, or seasonal items even if they're not openly listed and you're lucky."

Yeah a girls I know who used to body build would get loving stir crazy before competitions, and would just take a swig out of an olive oil bottle when she knew she was getting off the rails. #lifehack: lift weights and eat nothing but lean protein, you'll go insane and probably poo poo yourself a few times, and will look like a cartoon stereotype while you're doing it!

karl fungus posted:I've never seen that, so how does it work? Making the "hinge" too small by cutting too far into the bread. It's such a dick move that I've never seen anyone actually do it intentionally, because it just means you have to re-make the sandwich and get bitched at by the customer when he inevitably brings the mess back, and was already being a loving chode if he inspired you to ruin his lunch. Not sure why you'd want to have to willingly deal with a twice-baked jerk when all you're trying to do is get customers out the door, but whatever.

I have to use a fork and eat it as a salad until I work my way down to the bread. I was trained with the 3 things on a 6-inch, 6 things on a footlong, and particularly on the subject of olives "add 3/6 more if they ask for more, if they ask for more after that, add a few more, if they ask for MORE, say you need to charge them extra." I don't know if veggie subs were an exception but knowing that boss they weren't. As previously mentioned most subway employees don't give a gently caress unless they have a manager leering at them. Except the time this dude acted like the handful of olives I put on his sandwhich was practically nothing. It's cool if you want a literal mountain of olives on your sub, just don't act like I'm the rear end in a top hat for not immediately doing that. In general the "menu-hacks" poo poo is stupid because it's going to be subject to regional differences, employees not knowing what the gently caress you're talking about, or not giving a gently caress. Also trying to order in a clever way as to get something slightly cheaper will probably just make employees hate you.

The problem there was the furnaces were on a schedule, so the first day they were on had nothing to do with the temperature out. We were in Michigan, home to the least predictable weather. Meaning we had a freak Indian Summer that year of it being in the 80's in October, and we weren't on the first floor so heat rose anyways. And the heaters were on. Fine. We ended up filling a 30-gallon garbage can with ice from the machine on our floor, and sticking a box fan atop it at an angle. Cold air flowed in our room at least.

Elliotw2 posted:If he mounted it at a slight angle, it should work ok enough I guess. It's kinda wasteful since the roomba can vacuum on tile anyway. One simple trick to make this lifehack good: mount the Swiffer pad on the rear end end of the Roomba, to mop up anything it can't vacuum. Though given Geoff Ramsey's recent Roomba vs. dogshit troubles, a bulldozer blade on the front of the robo-vac is probably a good idea. Remember the one that was going around a few years ago with "press just above the bridge of your nose"? I slipped and scratched my cornea, and spent the wee hours of Christmas morning in the ER and the 24-hour pharmacy. The docs and nurses were laughing it up over the fact that I poked my eye out while completely sober.
