Life hack: actual large sturdy stackable moving crates cost about 20 cents a piece to rent for a day and will make everyone involved in the move a lot happier if you use them instead of random cardboard boxes :prepop:

Actual life hack: Don’t want to bother with rentals? Get cardboard boxes for cheap or free. Placate your moving buddies with booze.

I personally forge my own boxes out of sheets of bread tags melted together with a lighter.

My wife was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia about 3 months ago.

I would like to find the woman who wrote this book, and choke her to death with my bare loving hands for writing so flippantly about something so incredibly serious.

gently caress her and her whole family twig.

It's completely unnecessary garbage (I mean garbage in the literal sense) and I would have to get the plastic bit out to be able to burn the empty carton. It's a costly solution to a problem that never existed.

Wait, you actually remove the plastic bits? What the gently caress for, they'll burn just fine with the rest if you leave them in.


Also, it's way easier to drink milk straight from the carton if it has a bottle cap

Bottle caps on milk cartons is the greatest improvement in milk storage technology since we stopped using glass bottles.

Snake oil is everywhere with cancer issues, unfortunately :( I'm sorry to hear about your wife.

My boyfriend has chronic myeloid leukemia. Our saving grace has been a test study. We're on medicine #4 or so.

#fauxhacks we've been told: it's cause he eats meat. If he went vegan it'd be "cured". Or going raw.

Acupuncture would cure it! Or chiropractors. :sigh:

The bottle cap is on the side of the slanted roof it's a weird angle no matter how you hold it.

Valio milk carton caps are actually made of bioplastic made from ethanol, from Brazil. Which might not be much better.
The carton is also coated in thin PE-film to make it actually hold liquids. This can be oil-based depending on availability of Brazilian slave labor ethanol.

Both of these plastics are fine to burn.

Well gently caress. Why was there a huge "don't burn these" campaign in the media?

We had a battery recycling bin at work and since no-one had any idea where to send it when it got full, someone just ordered another one. We also have 10 years worth of empty recyclable printer toner cartridges.

Ah well yeah but you only need like one to get the fire going and according to my chimney-sweep my chimneys are in great condition (for a house built in 1914). I guess if I wanted to do it right I'd whittle some kindling from the firewood but :effort:

I have been validated

How's it way harder? A bottle cap is basically spill-proof, but a regular carton is (by experience) very likely to just spill the milk on your shirt while you attempt to drink it.

That's why you buy a bunch of cheap beer to get drunk enough and save money.

Alternatively just cook your own booze but you'd also need someone dumb enough to taste it first to make sure it doesn't make you go blind or something

Actually, yeah. Lifehack: never test your homecooked booze yourself, always have a guy you don't really like do it for you. Might even save you from blindness!

There's no amount of beer that will get me as drunk as a bottle of booze because I'm old and fat and Finnish and I burn through alcohol like a funny car. Also, cheap beer doesn't exist here so :shrug:.

I guess the real life hack is to not be me.
