Mine is to to keep chocolate in the fridge. It’s a lot crunchier and has more chocolate taste.
Learn to cook. It makes you happier and probably healthier.
Fried rice is easy to make and delicious.

This.
Me and my partner have spent the last hour looking through recipe books because I need to figure out how to good a more… diabetes friendly selection of foods.
I can cook a roast dinner no problem, but cooking beans and pulses? No idea.
As someone who hates cooking, it definitely does not make me happier.

Yep. You have to tell them your name and ID yourself, you have to get out of the car if they tell you to, but you don’t have to say shit about what did or didn’t happen. Even if you haven’t been read your rights there are still some circumstances where the bodycam can be played and used against you in court. It only takes 2 seconds for one random thing to come out of your mouth that you can’t take back that can perfectly make the case against you, and put you away.
The cops’ job is to catch bad people and put them away. That is fine, you don’t gotta be hostile or deliberately make everyone’s day unpleasant, but if you’re in the crosshairs as a potential bad person don’t say a goddamned word until you talk to a lawyer. Anything helpful for your side about you talking to them will still be helpful after you talk to a lawyer.
For as much as I don’t agree with him stealing, this guy actually shows a great example of how it works (all sides - the manipulation of dude-just-be-honest and his correct response to it; obeying all the lawful orders but telling them to GFY whenever they ask him questions.)

“I’m not admit to a god damned thing. Prove it.”
(Honestly I wouldn’t even say that much, because they can maybe play that in court and say see he knew he was guilty. Just, I don’t want to talk to you about it until I talk to a lawyer first.)
Don’t just learn to cook. Find at least one dish that you want to get down pat and perfect that dish. Having that one dish you do perfectly is great for date nights.
Don’t cheap out on anything that connects you to the ground.

Uh, disagree. Chocolate tastes MUCH better at room temperature.
Well, good quality chocolate tastes much better at room temperature. Shit quality ‘chocolate’ like some of the big brands here in America does taste better cold. But only because it dulls the horrible taste.
Which brings me to my own little life pro-tip: spend a bit more on decent quality chocolate. It’s worth the cost.
Clean the lent trap on the clothes dryer everytime.
Test your smoke detectors at least once a year.

I feel there’s a story behind this ^^
I got all the life advice I needed from the coach in Teen Wolf in 1985:
- Never get less than 12 hours sleep
- Never play poker with a guy whose first name is a city
- Never get involved with a woman whose got a tattoo of a dagger on her body
When having a conversation someone, try paying attention to the other person’s body language, tone and the way things are said.
You can pick up a lot of things that way, possibly mood and others.
Drink water and exercise
i.e. stay away from soda and walk.
Find a chewing gun with xylitol. Chew after meals / snacks sometimes to help keep teeth happy.

Rinse your razor in cold water when you’re shaving
Why?
Like the other comment, I’d also like a follow-up on this as I usually use hot water to rinse it. The foam seems to get stuck on the razor if I use cold water. Is there something I’m missing that makes the cold water better?
It makes your pores tighten up so you get more of a crisp shave. So says the mythology and in my experience it feels better; YMMV of course.
Never buy food when you’re hungry. You’ll end up wasting money buying more food than you need, and after all is said and done, you’ll feel really fat and be ashamed at yourself.
Use qtips to clean your nose/sinuses.
If you have dandruff, dry skin, or anything that requires special medicated products, buy a few different brands with different active ingredients and rotate your usage between them so your body doesn’t build immunity.
Let ice cream warm up a bit after taking it out the freezer before eating it. Makes it softer and you taste more as your tongue isn’t numbed as much.
Lift weights. It makes your bones stronger, helps you age better. The younger you start, the better, but it’s never too late.
