Another use for alcohol is a surfactant. You know that peanut butter where the oil separates out and its hard to mix back in, and inevitably you get that hard crappy bit of peanut butter in the end? One shot of hard liquor mixed into the jar of peanut butter will help make a much more stable emulsion and much tastier peanut butter. | ||

I don't have windows 7. Alt-tab isn't just to get out of a window. Hold alt and then press tab repeatly will allow you to access to already-opened programs without just hitting alt-tab and click and whatnot | ||

It calms you down literaly as you inhale. I thought this was BS when I first heard it, but I tried it right before going on for a city speach contest, and it worked like a charm. I won 1st (and $75). Suposably lavender works too, but I've never tried it. I'm waiting to see a new Korean pro-gamer sniff a bottle of vanilla his first time in the box  | ||

If you can get the right Pibb:Coke ratio, you won't even taste the difference. I'm confused (not from US) What exactly does soda refer to and why does pibbxtra+coke = soda? | ||

This is all really obvious but I didn't realise till my mate told me. A lot of traffic lights use light sensetive cameras. But flashing obviously only helps if the sensor hasn't been triggered already. So if its busy it won't do anything at all realy. But If you're like the only car on the road then it often speeds up how quickly the lights change. If you drive the same roads a lot you'll work out pretty quickly which lights it works on (some are just straight out sequenced and have no sensors) and which it doesn't. I know every traffic light in Exeter U.K that this works on as I was a Pizza delivery guy whilst at uni. Some lights it works a gem on. I've had lights go red in front of me flashed them and they have gone green straight away. (only happens if theres no one coming the other ways) Also props on these keyboard shortcuts I didn't know the f2 renaming one thats really useful man | ||

Not by the high beams of your car. A long time ago, in the 1980s or so, lights were triggered by a certain frequency of signals for emergency vehicles. However, it was not from the same frequency of high beams of an everyday motorist. At least that's how it is in the United States. | ||
