Name a hack you use in life that others might can utilize thread.. on-going thread

This might seem odd, but my TV remote stopped working, so I attempted to remove the back cover where the battery is located, but I couldn’t get it off. I used a flathead screwdriver to try prying it open, and all I accomplished was scratching it up. I researched online and discovered that this issue is quite common, but then I visited a Reddit forum where someone suggested laying a towel on the floor, holding the remote about four feet above ground, and dropping it on the side where the battery cover is. To my surprise, it popped right off…lol…I thought it might have been a fluke, so I tried it again, and it popped off once more. :yes:
 
To keep your home free of fruit / drain flies.

Put alcohol in a spray bottle and completely spray any fruit you peel or don't eat the skin of.

Do it immediately once you get home and don't give any eggs time to develop in your home.



I use vinegar and water to clean my berries.

Your USB-C charger won't connect or charge properly? Instead of ditching your phone, grab a pack of wooden toothpicks and scrape all of the compacted pocket lint out of the charging port. You should be good to go in 30 minutes or less.

Coffee cost too much? Switch to instant coffee and grab a pack of measuring spoons. Start at 1 tsp per cup. Then reduce to 1/2 teaspoon then 1/4. It will gradually lower your caffeine tolerance until it only takes a tiny amount to get through the day. You might even be able to quit.

Movies and ebooks cost too much? Too honest to pirate them? What the hell are you doing on BGOL?

Seriously though, if you have a library card get the hoopla app which will allow you to download movies, audiobooks, and ebooks directly to your phone for free. You can also add the app to your Roku or Smart TV.

Soda cost too much? Switch to tap water. Soda is just overpriced fizzy water filled with chemicals and sweeteners. It has no nutritional value and is essentially poison.

I definitely take some toothpicks and take a small piece of baby wipe and clean the inside of the usb charger every few months.. randomly started doing that a decade ago when one of my phones wasn’t charging
 
But what clogs a tub? Unless you are extremely hairy.
Overtime… pubic hair, body hair, hair on your head.. if you got various people living in your house or showering in your crib that build up will happen sooner than later… I remember my shower would get clogged a few times a yr back when my sister stayed with me when she was going to college..I knew it was cause she had long hair and was combing that shit.. she would act like it wasn’t..everytime I unclog it , it was obviously coming from her.. once she bounced guess what way less clogs
