Life hack: when you have a mosquito bite, microwave a spoon and press it on the bite for 30 seconds. Be sure to take a microwave and a generator on camping trips.

You're scratching your arm while impatiently holding a spoon over a candle flame, you better make drat sure no police are around.

Fantastic, because I cannot emphasize enough that last night's episode featured a man who plans to live almost entirely off of rabbits after a full-scale economic collapse, including defense consisting of a flamethrower powered by rabbit poop.
Someone's never heard of rabbit starvation.

Although I now have the mental image of a flamethrower that has 3 slots on top where you put the rabbits, and you carry a few more with you so you can reload. Or just carry around this giant bag of hay.

It won't work with any other type of camera phone! What disappoints me most about this one is the example in the photo is a DVD of Following, "from the director of Memento." If he'd been holding up a DVD of Memento, that would have been meta enough to at least give me a chuckle.

Why you'd "set" your dice to 5 and 2 I don't know, because 7 is exactly the average on 2d6 anyway. Maybe if you want to cheat but not draw attention to your results and also be really ineffective at it.

If you forgot to chill your wine, you can pop in some wine ice cubes and not water down your wine.

That's a great hack if the only thing you know about wine is NEEDS TO BE CHILL.

Also, the whole freezing alcohol bit, not that easy to achieve in a home setting.

There's a book by Peter Straub where that's the favourite crafting hobby of an abusive and religiously insane old woman. Not saying anything but for the last 15 years it was the only time I'd ever come across the idea, until now.

I have this, it's pretty good. Tight seal, cleans up well, and I usually make curries and rice for my work lunch and the small tub holds exactly one reasonable serving of rice. Only the spork is weirdly deep but whatever the office kitchen has cutlery.

Course it's not so much "lifehack" as "product design."

I have one of these--they're pretty handy. No idea what the product's actual name is, but the box mine came in proudly proclaims that it's a "SOVEREIGN FOOD BASKET," and I'm not going to argue with that.
Tiffin box. It's what I would have bought for myself but then I got the other one as a gift, and it's good enough. Does have the advantage of being microwave OK.

I taped a thermal blanket over my windows, hoping to keep out some of the heat as well as light in the morning. Barely worked for the heat, was alright for light. From an interior design standpoint, I'd advise anyone to steer clear of it.

Speaking as a European, I went to a Walgreen's once, and I'm convinced it is conceptually a store for stoners. Entire large supermarkets over here don't have that much goddamn snacks and soda.
