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?

If you pour a can of coke in the toilet you won’t have to drink it.

My favorite hack of late. Home air cleaner.

Attach a standard 20 x 20 air filter to a standard box fan with duct tape! Works great!

Twine is safer for stock. I still buy rolls of tie wire myself. :)

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

And with overtones of illegality; agreed.

Don’t marry anyone so good looking that many other people flirt with them.

Today’s “Strike anywhere” matches don’t necessarily “strike” anywhere, even the side of the box. Glue a piece of emery cloth to the side of the box, they’ll strike every time.

Put a few wood chips along with some lamp oil (NOT the kind with bug repellent in it) into a zip lock bag. You’ll have a nice fire starter for your fireplace or campfire.

If your bike has disc brakes, put zip ties around the tire and rim between spokes for a field expedient snow tire. Doesn't work with cantilever brakes.

Make your own polyshade. 50% stain 50% polyurethane. That’s it! Why buy it?

Marry someone who does not cheat; even if he’s gorgeous.

Plain but pleasant, or kinda good looking in the right light is okay. Movie-star good looks is not.

There's no way of knowing in advance. I know of two couples who went through one or two rounds of premarital classes and had the big church wedding and lavish reception, and still, one of the pair ran off with someone from work within a year. But the flirting is a tip-off, even if he or she doesn't respond in front of you.

You wouldn’t believe how fast they get dirty. The funny thing is a quality 20 x 20 MERV 10 filter ( dust, smoke et al ) costs about the same as the fan!
