Rinse your dishes after eating. This Kris6 the food shmutz from turning into a crust you'll have to scour off and won't wash off completely in the dishwasher.

When cutting onions, set the cutting board on the stove and turn on the extractor fan. No more tears!

I worked at a factory that produced food with onion as one of the main ingredients. The best trick was to breathe with the mouth. Breathing with my nose would always make my eyes cry.

If you want to open a padlock and don't have the key, you can almost certainly break it open with 2 big wrenches.

I only had 1 opportunity to try that yet, when removing a 20 year old lock some stupid kid left on my stuff and then forgot where I put the key, but man did it feel empowering.

~~You can practice this trick at any romantic bridge. Do you really think whoever etched their initials on the lock is still together and would notice? Please~~

I always read these and go "fuck yeah I could stand to feel like a new bloke as well" and then I remember I don't drink and thus can't quit it either. Fuck the baseline.

When given the option, read the instructions, and save for future reference. (A URL / bookmark doesn't count as saving unless you control the hostname (including DNS).)

Got some domed glass pot lids but the one you need broke? Simply invert the handle on the next size up and you get a universal lid that fits any pan! Condensation pools in the middle instead of dripping over the sides.
