I just pour the water out of the pasta kettle and eat it with a spoon. ( The pasta, not the kettle.)

Do these boilovers happen because of not knowing that burner knobs are variable controls instead of on/off switches and just leaving things going full blast after the pasta is added, or are there seriously people who start off their pasta in cold water and heat it all up together?

I put pasta in a saucepan then add enough water to cover it, bring it to the boil then turn the heat down. It's not exactly rocket science.

Instead of expensive ceramic plates, just eat off of a phonebook. Tear out the pages when you're done. they're free and last for months.

I've got a cool lifehack.

Rent an expensive apartment then don't pay your rent. When your landlord brings you to court offer to pay a couple hundred dollars as a sign of good faith, and then judge will force the landlord to let you stay. There you go, instant cheap rent!

Even cooking over something like a campfire, I'm pretty sure I'd just move the pan away from the heat source instead of frantically adding wooden spoons and oils.

Sometimes it happens because you live in a lovely rental house built in 1975 with a janky GE electric range that can't seem to ever find the sweet spot for pasta between "a gentle simmer" and "gently caress yeah roiling boil" no matter where you set the knob. I never had this problem cooking on a gas range, but electrics can be finicky. It's a legit hack, and I'd hardly call setting one spoon (that I'm gonna use anyways) on top of the pot a "frantic" activity. You don't put the spoon on top when it starts overboiling, you do it as the heat's coming up to prevent it while you're doing other stuff like prepping a salad.

#lifehack: just eat plain pasta and never ever turn away from the burner to make sides, so you can be there to take it off the heat source at a moment's notice the second it starts boiling too hard

(Sorry, I just got offended by all the "lol just learn to cook" comments. I know how to cook; my range on the other hand...)

People do this a lot. When we were looking for apartments, the real estate agent took a call from a client that had tried to do this. Basically it takes about 3-18 months to kick someone out of an apartment, so if you can do basically this until a judge gets sick of your poo poo or your landlord just murders you, you can stay off the streets.

In Illinois, it takes me about 45 days to complete a forcible entry and detainer. If I had to wait eighteen months to get some shithead out of one of my units I'd lose my guddamn marbles.

This #rentdiscounthack may have been a joke, but in lots of jurisdictions, if a landlord accepts a partial payment on a delinquent account that has already been sent to court, the account is immediately considered to be in good standing and the case needs to be refiled, requiring you to start the eviction process (and the clock) over again.

So, wait until eviction day and offer the landlord half of what you owe in cash. He or she will either take it, or the sheriff will throw your rear end out on the street! Walla! #renthax

Evicting people are hard. My grandmother had a tenant who didn't pay rent for six months and in general behaved as a huge rear end in a top hat. And yet we couldn't kick him out but had to make him sign a new contract with stricter rules and only if he broke that (which of course he did) could we kick him out.

I read a news story about a guy who did that with an AirBNB condo rental in Palm Springs. Rented for 30 days? You now have rights as a tenant!
