AlphaKretin posted:Put muffin wrappers in car cupholders to use them to hold smaller objects, as opposed to just putting smaller objects in them? It keeps the items from cupholder one from mixing with the items in cupholder two and vice versa. It's pretty much just a solution to an extremely minor #FirstWorldProblem.

 You know what's fun on a date? Turning it into some kind of weird job interview/test!  What are those?  Stick whatever those things are on a fan. Lifehack?  If you live alone, it's the government.

They are paper sheets impregnated with fabric softener. You put one in the dryer when doing laundry. Works like liquid fabric softener: removes static electricity and makes the clothes softer. They are usually scented.

Freezy pops are the cheapest thing ever they're just slightly flavored dyed sugar water in a plastic sleeve. I'm shocked that there are countries that don't have them, because they're so very basic.

While sending your kids to a chiropractor can be super dangerous, and the salt sock seems stupid, if your kid (or you) have a fever that isn't in the "Causing brain damage zone" it is best to let it run it's course, at least according to my doctor growing up and also my kid's pediatrician.

God dammit, so close. It even says why it works, but MAGIC!! Yes, you dumbshit crystal-gripping hippie it IS because the salt is good at retaining heat. That's why it's good on an irritated ear: the heat increases blood flow and relieves pain. A damp hot towel works too. If it's inflammed an ice pack is good. It's not the loving salt!! Temperature! Ugh, and it's not even a cure, it just relieves discomfort. Which is good because less pain = faster healing, but goddamn MAGIC SALT gently caress oh yeah 'don't treat a fever' 'cause childhood deafness and brain damage is superfun

zedprime posted:Chiropractic is good for getting a massage while working toward your insurance deductible but that's an extremely white middle class lifehack. And you need to watch out of the ones who start touching things above the shoulders because they are probably going to break your neck or knock an artery loose. Results not guaranteed below the shoulders either because I had a friend limp away from a chiropractic session with dislocated ribs. There are also people the believe chiropractic also has healing capabilities beyond pain relief, I think. Like, if you've got a genuine sickness, getting your spine adjusted semi-regularly will somehow cure you of this. It really straddles the line of fairly helpful and potentially dangerous, and it all comes down to the what person performing it believes it can do.

I mean, true, but the lack of understanding behind it really hamstrings the usefulness of the rule. Why start in cold water? To heat the vegetable along with the water to cook evenly. Very useful for thick, starchy veggies or things you want to break down. Why start in hot water? To blanch or lightly cook rapidly without overly breaking it down and keeping texture and color. Good for delicate veggies that cook fast, or flavorful things like carrots that you don't want mushy. Why are you cooking them a certain way, you must understand whyyyyyy edit ORANGE QUADRANT
