What kind of tip is that haha, it's like saying, if you find yourself sitting at your pc for too long, try smacking yourself in the face until you get fed up and go do something else. Cold showers are actually very good for you and for your overall manliness + it does not come with the unwanted psychological side effects of smacking yourself in the face. If you actually think cold showers are "good for you" you are wrong. They are neither good for you nor bad for you. I thought I remember seeing somewhere that cold showers are "good" because hot showers are "bad". Same reason that having a laptop on your lap is bad for you. Heat is bad in general for all things "manly" lol. (Too) hot water is bad for the skin in general. I don't think cold water does any harm. It is actually kind of good to take cold showers: if you get used to cold water your tolerance to cold weather in general increases. :D
well the way it kind of works is the warm water relaxes your pores and causes them to open up, allowing them to clean out easier, the cold water causes them to close . so the ideal way to do it is to start warm and finish cold.

If you have an oily face, chances are that your skin is actually too dry.
In a layman's description, your skin can't 'produce' water, so it produces oil to help the dry skin. Try to wash your face often, and always use cold, and not hot water.

Here's a tip I'm not sure where I read it from, but did a quick search and couldn't find it, so I don't think it's here.
Super easy muffins:
Equal parts:
ice cream (slightly warmed so it's soft)
Self-raising flour.
Mix it together until it looks, well, like muffin mix.
slap the results into muffin container of choice.
bake for like.. 20 minutes
Ta-daa Muffins in 20 minutes.
One thing: they seem to go dry a little faster than regular muffins, and you need some serious flavour in the ice cream for it to come through, but they still taste pretty good and hell, it was 2 ingredients and took about zero time.

If you have a bee or another small insect stuck inside a window you cannot open and you want to spare its poor life but at the same time remove it there is one thing that I usually do.
For this you need a matchbox.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VmWvs.jpg)
First, remove all matches from the box. Then put the hollow part above the bee while its crawling on the window and then slide the other part shut trapping the insect inside the matchbox. After that you can simply take the box outside and open it and the bee is no longer your problem.

1: Put your right arm straight up
2: Bend it over your head (so your hand is over your left shoulder)
3: Grab your right shirt sleeve with your left hand
4: Remove T shirt in one swift motion

An empty glass + a piece of paper is much easier, cause you don't have to empty your matchboxes that way.

how do you mean? Why would you be scrolling down, and if you want to go up why wouldn't you press "Home?"

I can't agree with this more. When you actually treat the person who is serving/helping you with respect AND you call them by their name instead of miss or sir or nothing at all, the level and quality of service that person will be willing to give to you will be that much better.
For example, while I was leaving a local airport after dropping off a friend, I made my way to the exit booths and got ready to pay for the parking. It wasn't a lot, only 2 bucks or something like that, but I was talking with the lady (her name was Rosemary) at the booth for like 5 minutes. It was a great moment and really made my day because she was so lovely.

The key to problem-solving or creativity usually isn't a result of an epiphany or lecture or meditative state.
90% it is sheer brute force. Creativity is hard work, pure and simple.
Also,
The people that are the most "creative" or have the most ideas consistently are the one's that do the most research. Good point. The more you know, the more creative you can be. I am not sure if there is something like creativity after all.
"Creativity is hard work, pure and simple."
Seriously, fuck you. You couldn`t be more wrong. Creativity is the complete opposite of hard work, it`s a joyous activity, not fucking work, not routine, not repetition, not habits, not doing "effort" - it is first and foremost joyous and satisfying.
"The more you know, the more creative you can be"
Bullshit. Bad point. The more you know, the more material you have to construct from. Creativity is the skill of creation. It is creation. It is creating. It is not about how much material you have, though material and its quality is not irrelevant. Still, you can create from nothing. That is creativity.
"The people that are the most "creative" or have the most ideas consistently are the one's that do the most research."
The people that are the most creative or have the most ideas consistently are the one`s that are able to create these ideas out of what they have, whatever it is. Just look at some SC II players. There are many who know a shitload about the game - or so they believe - and often they are the ones criticising new ideas that later become excellent strategies just because they are are not within their knowledge base or are not "standard" - and they only respect "standard". It doesn`t fucking matter how much they know because all they know is how to parrot someone.
The key to creativity is the feeling world. Know your feelings, understand where they come from and learn how they can enhance your perceptions, their quality, truthfulness, dimensionality and depth. The key to that is not knowledge absorbtion but self-observation and self-trust.

If you are taking posters off your wall for whatever reason, roll them up and put each poster in a sock. It doesn't make crease lines like some elastics do, it covers it to prevent fading from sun exposure and it is not going to use up elastic bands that could be used elsewhere (of course you are going to have socks, might not have elastic bands)

Don't go to buy groceries when you just ate a lot and/or are full. It makes you buy less and you have difficulty knowing what type of produce you want because in your brain, you don't want to eat anymore anyways.

Change you pillow cases and maybe bedsheets every week to reduce face spots.
Gel and hair products get smeared on the pillow case when you sleep and can irritate your skin/ block pores.

Pretty sure you should stick it in your underwear if you know they're going to search you cause cops can have you empty your pockets and look in your backpack but i don't think they can do random cavity searches. Correct me if i'm wrong though.
Edit: Almost forgot, guys do yourself a favor and keep a tube of shoe glue around, that stuff can can plug a hole in just about anything, and it's nice if your shoes get ruined too

Does anyone have any life tricks regarding all-nighters?
I just pulled one in order to get a paper and presentation done (both of which were deemed shitty anyway), and I have to give the presentation at 10 am tomorrow (have to get to the hall earlier at 8:50 for other presenters), and right now it's 3:08 pm. Are there any ways to recover or otherwise get ready? Any random tricks regarding ppt presenters would be appreciated intensely too.
