I don't understand the point of these coffeemaker dinners. The only situation I can imagine in which I was hungry and had only a coffee maker to cook with is if I was in a hotel room. If I'm staying in a hotel room and buying actual groceries, like salmon, I have enough money to get takeout or go out for dinner. If I've had time to go to the grocery store and purchase food, why wouldn't I buy something pre-made from the deli, or hit the salad bar? I mean, the ramen "hack" actually makes sense in that you use a hot water-producing item to produce hot water, but cooking a loving fish in a coffeepot? I just cannot imagine a situation in which I would have to do this. Also, that's rude for the next guest and the cleaning staff.

If your idea for preparing a meal involves using a hammer and a screwdriver then maybe just don't. Also enjoy your salmon-scent coffee.

Note: if you have trouble removing the salmon from the carafe, just use your hands. Imagine a dozen life hackers throwing a fancy dinner party.

Cover your phone with five layers of transparent adhesive tape. Or dip it in tar and cover it in feathers.

My co-worker does this when lending books. But she forgets to delete the photos when people bring the books back, so it ends up not really helping at all. Also that lifehack will work with any phone with a camera function. Or a regular camera. I mean, come on. What this spit is this? Lifehack for fitting an entire bundt cake in one bowl?

Things that also work as kindling: grass paper a strip of fabric off your shirt like 90% of the poo poo surrounding your fire pit goddamn I have never once gone camping, looked around, and lamented the extreme amount of easily accessible wood I had available without any kindling to start a fire.

Some places have bans on gathering deadfall and other material so it's best to just run over to the nearest gas station and grab some doritos rather than face being kicked out and fined.

If it rains, natural kindling is poo poo. Doritos are stored in a sealed dry bag, and double as calories if it doesn't rain. I don't see the big problem in throwing a bag into a hiking or camping pack just for the off chance it's useful.

Dryer lint is better tinder than Doritos and is free, if you are bringing something with you. The real (or unacceptable because it works and is easy) life hack is to put dryer lint in an egg carton and pour wax into the individual egg cups soaking the lint. Let it harden and cut it up for a dozen easy to carry and very effective fire starters. Also to be a pedantic outdoor nerd, tinder is the stuff small enough to light with a match/lighter, kindling is the larger twigs and sticks you put on top of tinder to make a big enough fire for logs

One of my profs teaches wilderness survival, and when I doing the course, she told the story of an aviation student who had a fantastic fire compared to all the other av kids, and it turned out he was spraying Axe body spray onto the fire as an accelerant.

So what you're saying is those idiots who bathe in axe are pre-soaked in accelerant for my fire lighting needs? Good to know.

Rysithusiku posted:So what you're saying is those idiots who bathe in axe are pre-soaked in accelerant for my fire lighting needs? Good to know. I think most/all spray deodorants are incredibly flammable. Like "hold up a lighter and spray for a mini-flamethrower" kind of flammable. It's the new hairspray. I just suddenly remembered a discussion from another forum I'm no longer on that fits the spirit of this thread. The discussion was about expedient substitutes for purpose-made gun lubricant (like vegetable oil). Someone said that when he and his dad went shooting, if their guns started to dry out too badly they would just wipe some oil off their faces and rub that into the action to lubricate it. To me, it sounds like they just took lovely care of their guns because they shouldn't start seizing up from lack of lubrication mid-shooting. chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 08:34 on Mar 22, 2016 |
