Don't keep it in your pocket, the aroma gets trapped and builds up letting little bursts of it out at a time, making the smell very noticable. Instead, take your shoe and lift up the sole inside of it, and slide it under there, there's no room for any smell to get out (not that it's full proof, just keeps cops from smelling it instantly) and unless they are specifically looking for drugs, they won't ask you to take your shoes off during a pat down.
These quoted posts are worthy of a double facepalm.
First of all, if you're trying to hide it, why would you show it to the cops by dropping it? That's pretty stupid. Secondly, don't possess cannabis where it is illegal. Move to someplace tolerant if you must have it.
Keeping cannabis in your shoe is slightly more stupid than putting it in a bag inside your pocket. It would ruin it by smashing and potentially pick up nasty foot odors.
For proper storage and transportation, use a glass mason jar with screw-top lid. It contains the smell and prevents it from being smashed. For small amounts, put it in a contact lens case so it doesn't bounce around in a jar which can knock off resin glands.
Also wrong. Use a food saver (vacuum sealer). It eliminates all odor.

Wrong..I've lived in Germany for over a year now and it took me a long time to find a job. Just because you speak English doesn't mean shit.
Immigrants are desperate and less choosy when it comes to jobs. Basically they are doing the shitty jobs that you refuse to do, plus he doesn't mind a lesser salary. So it's partially true I guess.
It doesn't have to do with being choosy about your job. Knowing how to speak english means nothing in central Europe. You can't just come here and instantly get some kind of job just because you're fluent in english. Speaking for Germany, pretty much anyone under the age of 40 can easily communicate in english on a high level. Many college students and professionals are fluent or almost so. Even most people under 60 can at least communicate on a basic level in english.
May be different elsewhere in the world (I'm pretty sure it is), but in central Europe, you'll have a hard time finding someone who can't speak/write English.
Well then it doesn't really apply to his post does it. He never said Europe, he said a "non-English speaking country". And its pretty much true for Asia/South America. But you usually need a degree.

Those are 2 of the more common places. I am currently making roughly 4500 a month teaching GMAT/GRE/SAT in Jakarta but I readily admit that's well above the average and it would be misleading for me to claim that anyone can come here and make that. Anyone CAN come here and get a job though.
It's a cake job, anyone can do it. Did I say you will make a good salary? Of course not. It doesn't require you to have any skills beyond being able to speak English. The salary is pretty much always above the local average though.
The only foreigners I've seen desperate to get jobs during my time in Asia are the non English speakers (for instance, Indians trying to get jobs teaching in English).
As for the comment on lesser salary... it's not like Malaysians generally earn high salaries ;-)
Not true. You HAVE to have an undergraduate degree to get an English teaching job in Korea.
My foolproof method for winning rock paper scissors (This seriously works 95% of the time):
Take the time to explain the rules you will play by. Throw down on your palm in example saying "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" Whatever shape you make with your hand while you shoot is subliminally recognized by the other guy and he will almost certainly counter that shape with his first choice.
For example, start to make a paper on "shoot" while explaining the rules (Don't be super obvious, the point is that the message is subliminal). When it's time to shoot for real, throw rock. Try to avoid Bo3s and Bo5s in favor of all or nothings for this strategy. Don't tell you're friends how you always manage to win until you get something good out of it.

Also not true. I'm a Sophomore in college and they came to my korean class last year to offer the juniors/seniors jobs. I think the program was called TaLK.

What do you do against the 99% of people who already know the rules?
often times theres a confusion between when your supposed to throw your rock/paper/scizzors. is it 1-2-3-shoot or just 1-2-3? going over the rules seems reasonable

You explain anyway. The point is to show them a shape while they are distracted with your words. My family has a whole mini-meta-game of RPS involving dirty tricks like this.
-At the start of every year (or some arbitrary date you'll remember) reverse all of your hangers. As you pull clothes out put the hanger back in normally. Every year get rid of any clothes that you never took out (hangers facing the original direction of the reversal).
-Throwing clothes in the dryer for 5 minutes will get wrinkles out.
-If you're in university/college or even highschool, google anki and spaced repetition.
-Duct tape holds the world together.
-If your shoes have bad odour throw them in a ziplock type bag and put them in the freezer for a couple hours. The cold temperatures of the freezer should kill the bacteria that causes the smell.

This is quite useful. I suppose I could always bookmark it on my browser, but that's no fun =/
In virtually all wireless g routers you can change the channel your WiFi operates on. If your WiFi is operating on the same channel or a close channel to your neighbours, you will have a weaker connection due to the need for more error checking added as well as making sure it is clear for your device to talk, which is needed because of the interference of your neighbours WiFi. Typically you want to be 5 channels apart from a neighbouring WiFi using the same frequency, and since there are 11 channels in wireless g you can have 3 WiFi's operating at channels 1, 6, and 11 with no interference of each other.
tl;dr = change the channel used on your wireless g router to be 5 apart from a neighbouring WiFi using wireless g to increase connection/signal.
There are ways to find out what channel a neighbouring WiFi uses.

No, they just say you do. Go to any EF in China, Indonesia, S. Korea, ect. and 2/3 of the "teachers" there will not have a degree. I've met English teachers in Japan, S. Korea and A LOT here in Indonesia who didn't graduate high school. Most English teachers (from my experience) are idiots who can't get a job and/or a girlfriend back in the states/uk/australia so they move overseas where they can get a job and girls.
Litterally, the only requirement is that you are a native English speaker. Any native English speaker can do conversation class. It simply requires speaking in English.
