Life tips

Life lesson, people."

^Facebook status from a couple days ago that I feel is appropriate for this thread.

Don't build your own computer. Because it might not boot up at all, and you won't know what of that 700 euro bulk of equipment you just bought is actually causing the problem, and there's pretty much fuck all you can do about it.

You know, not like anything like that happened to me yesterday or anything.

Try building your own engine if you want something that's hair-pullingly frustrating. You think having a homebuilt PC that won't boot...try sitting there with a freshly repaired motor that's got thousands of parts and trying to find the one annoying son-of-a-***** on it that's making it cough fireballs instead of run. I've done it, had to replace the head gasket on my F150 and it started spitting fire when I tried to re-start it after I got done.

Of all the times I've been quoted on this, you're the only one that actually made me feel better at all. That sounds pretty horrible...

Take your deep fat frier, throw it in the garbage. Fat (grease), even the vegetible based ones, are LOADED with calories. If you are trying to lose weight, greasy food is your greatist enemy. You can eat two apples for the calories you get from 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Once you start to feel hungry, wait an hour. Not only will you eat less but you the food will taste better.

Also, if you ever get into an awkward moment with someone, fabricate your own awkward moment. The awkwardness will still be there but you will be in control of the situation now.
