It's true my girlfriend does it. I always tell her to stop that shit but she doesn't listen.
I have no idea why you would brush your teeth, then eat and get your mouth full of a bacteria feast. Is it normal to have your mouth taste so unbearlable during the morning that something to drink cant fix it? :/
really?

waste of toothpaste and time IMO, what's the point of brushing if you still go out smelling like a bowl of captain crunch in the morning?

when in an apartment building, here's a techinque used by the police to prevent the elevator from stopping at any floors until yours:
-When you enter the elevator, do not press the floor button, but hold the closed door button.
-When the elevator door closes, while still holding onto the closed door button, press and hold the number of the floor you wish to go to.
-Keep holding onto both buttons until elevator starts moving, and then let go.
-?????
-Profit!

Works in most new apartment buildings. With any luck, the elevator will move faster than usual as well. Enjoy =D

That work in hotel rooms? This could be a great breakthrough!

Ok heres some real tips

-Strength training is the best way to lose weight and burn calories for men OR women AND it will make you strong if your a man and if your a woman you won't gain any muscle.

-Running for long distances is for hamsters or the severely obese. Google HIIT and burn calories all day with 15min of exercise.

-You can't train for cardio (endurance) and strength at the same time because its two types of muscle fibers that interfere. Just lift weights and maybe do some HIIT.

Stretching is BAD. Unless ur a hot chick there is no reason to get super flexible. It actually hurts strength and risks injury. There are a few dynamic stretches and things for people who don't have full mobility but that yoga garbage isn't good for you. Thing like your lower back are for stability not motion. This is especially true before strength training as you lose the elasticity so you can't lift as much weight and risk injury.

*most people need stretching because they sit all day, but once you get to a certain point its bad. Standing at your computer or doing hip mobility stretches a few times a day is important.

-Drink 1 gallon of water per day or more

Actually this is gonna be too hard and take too long. Stronglifts.com has all teh answers u need. I can't really explain everything in detail here or enough.


Life trick: Ignore most of the quote above. I don't know how else women gain muscle (and strength) except through strength training/weight lifting. The info about stretching sounds like rabid ranting from a gym junkie.


Agreed. Ignore this guys post, its all broscience.

Brushing your teeth before breakfast is better for your teeth. It has nothing to do with mouth taste w/e.

Proof:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-396267/Stay-healthy-15-unlikely-steps.html

+ Show Spoiler +
...says Dr Philip Stemmer, dental surgeon with the Teeth for Life Centre, London.

Always brush your teeth before breakfast. As we sleep, bacteria and plaque form on our teeth. The bacteria are then multiplied by the sugar and acid in our breakfast food, which increases the risk of tooth decay.

Brushing before you eat removes this bacteria. The fluoride in the toothpaste also coats the teeth, thereby protecting them against acid and sugar. If you do brush after eating, wait at least half an hour because the food acids and sugars temporarily weaken the protective enamel on the teeth.

If you clean your teeth too soon, you are actually brushing away at this enamel before it hardens again. The best routine is to brush your teeth before a meal, and then freshen up and remove excess food after eating using an alcohol-free mouthwash.


You're welcome.

You've never woken up and your mouth tastes like crap? Or your teeth feel gross?

Ummm and thats why I brush my teeth first thing? + I'm surprised TLers don't know that bacteria eats off of starches and carbs, so eating first thing in the morning is AWFUL!

For tipping about 15%
I do this:
X/5 - X/20
So you divide the original price by 5.
Take the original price and move the decimal left once, and take the half of that
then take the first number and subtract the second number. And it should be a 15% tip

Example:
+ Show Spoiler +
$240
240/5 = 48 (to do in your head 240/10 = 24 then * 2)
240/20 = 12 (in your head is 240/10 = 24 then / 2)
48-12 = 36 (the amount for a 15% tip)

36/240 = 15%

About the theater thing a while back (I've been reading this all day), my mate's dad who owns a theater says that if people are smart enough to get away with something like that, he wouldn't mind, but hes a cool guy though.

If with a girl, wait till you're outside and it's windy before farting (ask if they feel like going out for a walk in the dark) or until they go toilet (mine drinks a lot of water)

Or you could just move the decimal one place to the left in the first place and multiply that number by 1.5.

Umm.. do you people not realize that fire + gas = more fire?

I'm pretty sure every legit gas station has a no smoking sign.

Life tip: Don't smoke it gives you cancer.

Or just do 10%, double it, add both numbers & divide by 2. Stupid advice really. Use your damn phone if you suck at math.

when you tip, you gotta take the **% from the subtotal! not the total which includes tax!
