Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I get really uncomfortable if one touches my skin, like flowers leaves whatever. I wipe my hand on my clothes and stuff like I have to clear the contact off my skin. I'm better about fake ones but I still don't like it.

Fluoride makes your teeth stronger so it must make your bones stronger too! Life hack: swim in vats of hydrofluoric acid to get mega strong bones. The HF is a weak acid so it goes through skin painlessly unlike stronger acids like HCl that burn it.

Alternative lifehack, grow up to well off parents who grew up poor themselves. That way you can have the message use it or lose it engrained in your head. Like when your mom asked you and your siblings for money because she binge spent all the money again.

As long as the chuck will accommodate your mixing tool, yeah you're good. Some people use power drills for mixing difficult recipes. Cheaper than a stand mixer, much stronger than a typical hand mixer.

Drills are different than Dremels, though.

The Dremel’s thing is high speed, low torque.

The Great Twist
Lifehacks are bad. Otherwise they'd just be "That thing we all do."



THAT SEEMS SAFE.



What is this lifehacking?!



Or just, you know, turn the tape on itself a little bit.



Why do you own pool noodles and why are you destroying them for your boots?



Seriously. I have to explain the many reasons why this is a bad idea? :psyduck:



Self-own, Lifehack.



Now clean your kid's skidmark off your laundry basket instead of actually being there with your child to help with their toys.



In case you don't have scissors, a knife, or teeth.



quote:

Bad idea, said Robert N. Renkes, executive vice president and general counsel for the Petroleum Equipment Institute, a trade association for people involved in handling petroleum.

The danger of the gas cap fix, Renkes said, comes from the risk of a fuel spillover. The hold-open clips snap shut once the tank is full. But a jammed gas cap stays in place, even if the tank is full — and though the nozzle should automatically turn off the flow of gas anyway once the tank is full, it’s possible that the fuel sensor may fail. If the gas cap keeps holding open the trigger, the gas will keep pumping, possibly until it spills over onto the side of the car and pools on the ground

where we have separate hot and cold water taps so infected miasma from boiled decaying rat in the inexpertly sealed heater vats in the attics (why the gently caress don't you seal them you gotta be leaking megajoules through there, straight out the roof for no goddamn reason) of some idiots eg half the loving country don't surge back into the communal freshwater system if there's a pressure drop, so now we have an icewater tap and a lava tap, and if you want "clement" you will have to fill the sink or try to painfully splash one onto the other screaming wildly.

Back up we're in hack country.

Just buy a goddamn mixer tap?

Pretty much everywhere in the world that has hot and cold running water has them in different pipes. They get combined into one stream at the tap.

If your hot water is contaminated, then you wouldn't want it passing through the same faucet as the cold water you use for drinking. Otherwise your glass of cold water may be contaminated.
