Your favorite "Life Hacks" you can recommend.

Posted on 03/23/2019 8:49:44 AM PDT by MNDude

A "life hack" phrase that describe any hacks, tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing (formerly called a "good ideas."

Examples: putting soap and water in a blender and turn it on to clean it. Heating a cup of water in the microwave to loosen the food. Using a shoe as a cupholder. (Millions of things you can do with duct tape).

I believe the older generation probably had many of these, particularly for home remedies.

Which "life hacks" can you recommend?

Calling these small ideas “Helpful Hints” might be one way to get them taken seriously.

To me a “hack” is a coarse and vulgar method of accomplishing something in the least professional manner possible.

Gargling very salty , warm water as soon as i start to feel a sore throat seems to work well as a home remedy. Just careful not to swallow

When you’re planning to move to a new city, call the local Domino’s, and ask them the good places, and places to avoid. Trust me, they’ll know.

Vacuum system for removal of oil and fluids from your vehicles.

Bore snakes.

Ultrasonic cleaners for gun parts.

Stainless rod tumblers for brass cleaning.

Adopt a 10 year old boy to pull the lever on your reloading press. Or automate it, kid may be cheaper.

+2.

I would add to not even let one into your domicile. Hotels are cheap compared to being ripped off by a couple of strippers. Oh and don’t cosign for a cell phone for them.

Use your binder clips as holders for recharging cords. Clip the clip near
where you want the cord and just thread the cord through there.

I agree.

My “Helpful Hint”; When digging a post hole in a precise position and you come upon a not easily removed rock, multiple rounds of .308 ball is helpful.

It’s that kind of day! But most refer to dirty guns because that is my work load today. It’s snowing so I am not working outside.

Separate egg yolks from whites using an empty plastic water bottle. Just squeeze the bottle, get it close to the yolk. Unsqueeze the bottle and, slurp, you suck in the yolk.

"...Adopt a 10 year old boy..."

...not cheaper at $50K to adopt, and, if you keep him, it gets multiplied.

Don’t get anything that flies, floats or f*cks.

Especially the last one.

I hear they are only about $3,000 at Walmart. If you are really nice you can probably get one cheaper than that and on a payment plan.
