plain blue jacket posted:pwoarrrrr I still haven't figured out what the "hack" is supposed to be. It appears to be heaps of shelving stacked up to make a staircase. What is the benefit? Surely if you have a two-story house you have stairs already. Is it just to look "cool"? Also, that looks like it wouldn't bear the load of an even slightly overweight person. Maybe that's the point?

Just eyeballing it, it looks like it does, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean a goddamn thing. e: vvv which makes it moot whether it's spaced evenly or can support weight, I guess. But it also means it's not really a staircase, just an art piece that looks like one. razorrozar has a new favorite as of 13:10 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Back about 12 years ago, Australia aired a TV series called Life Support. The basic premise was mocking lifestyle television shows in general, including dispensing handy hints on improving your daily life. Such advice included switching labels on wine bottles to prevent others drinking it at dinner parties, dressing up as a chef so you could walk around with knives or voluntarily electrocuting yourself at clubs so you can 'dance'. Sadly there's not a huge amount on Youtube anymore, but there's some here and there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0eCGmWUxXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMuOvE940KE Schlinky has a new favorite as of 13:30 on Jul 12, 2014 |

 gently caress this guy. Just ask for fresh fries. Asking for no salt assumes that you are doing so for health reasons and the station/fry scoop must be cleaned and it's a huge hassle during a busy rush hour. If you want them fresh just ask for them fresh.  Not getting raped is a lifehack I guess.

Order a Fillet-o-Fish at McDonalds. It's an unpopular item so will almost never be ready immediately, meaning after a few minutes you can complain and get your money back, and usually another item as well! Free food! I've actually seen this happen

It's also pretty much bullshit, since the salty taste is very weak and the drink completely masks it. If anything, reading this makes you more likely to be raped, since it falsely implies that non-salty drinks are safe.

Also the use of rohypnol is/was actually really rare, the majority of drink spike related rape is when the rapist just adds a ton more alcohol to already alcoholic drinks so the victim is drinking way more than they think and ends up much drunker than they planned.

Fatkraken posted:Also the use of rohypnol is/was actually really rare, the majority of drink spike related rape is when the rapist just adds a ton more alcohol to already alcoholic drinks so the victim is drinking way more than they think and ends up much drunker than they planned. There was a study done by a university at a hospital in England (Manchester, I think). They tested the blood of all the women who had come in complaining about their "drinks being spiked" and over the course of an entire year they didn't find anything except mild alcohol poisoning. Not saying it should be discounted, but when I was younger it used to piss me off with the number of girls who would say, "Oh I woke up with a terrible headache today, my drink was definitely spiked!". No it wasn't, if your drink was spiked you'd have been raped/murdered/mugged, nobody is going around spiking peoples drinks for shits and giggles. The worst thing is when women actually do get raped and immediately say their drinks were spiked. Lawyers try to tell their clients to keep their mouths shut about that even when talking off the record because if the defence get their hands on it they can - and will, and do - use it to destroy the victims credibility. The only applicable lifehack in this situation is to keep your drink with you at all times and who isn't doing that anyway?

This actually happened to me as a dude at a party many years ago--I was never a heavy drinker and so had little to no experience with alcohol, and they thought it was funny to let me have one or two totally normal beers and then spike every other drink I had that night with stronger stuff. They didn't take it to pass-out drunk, but I was impaired enough that I ended up driving home drunk without thinking about it, and they didn't stop me. duckmaster posted:No it wasn't, if your drink was spiked you'd have been raped/murdered/mugged, nobody is going around spiking peoples drinks for shits and giggles.

The biggest issue I see with this is cat owners would never be able to use those shelves as shelves. Showed this to my husband the scenic engineer because it's gotten so much attention. He said since it is anchored at the top and the sides and the stair width is relatively narrow it's structurally sound enough to hold even fat goony types. Square tube steel and plywood are pretty strong.

Also (on the less malicious side) college and house parties where I am from are notorious for serving some form of Jungle Juice which is pretty much whatever hard liquor walks in the door cut with whatever fruity juice, soda, whatever is on hand. There is no way of knowing how much booze you'll be putting in when you drink that stuff, and it is usually pounded back because those parties tend to get hot as hell. Drinking it implies some level of reckless disregard for personal safety but not a license to get assaulted of course.

That doesn't really work, the fries are cooked in so much grease that salt clings to them. They wouldn't let us do that for health reasons, which I totally get. I wish we'd been allowed to do it your way or that it worked, though. gently caress cooking fries.

These are being used wrong. They are basically alternating ship's stairs. They're a death trap, don't get me wrong, because they seem to be using half the staircase as decorative shelving so there's nowhere to step. You're supposed to alternate sides.

Viz Magazine has always had a great selection of 'Top Tips', which are parodies of the tips you see in those women's magazines. You can get some on their website http://viz.co.uk/toptips.php but they aren't as good as the ones in the actual magazine. Here's a better selection: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/viz-is-30-our-50-all-time-best-427354
