(Part 2) Best products from r/YouShouldKnow

I swear by these. They aren't sound canceling, but they are light and have the best quality sound I've heard. THey have newer versions which are good as well, but I specifically used this version in each half and full marathon because you don't notice them even for long distances

Wouldn't go so far as to say only useful knot but one I use a lot (aka the Teamsters' Hitch or the Wagoners' Hitch).

My dad is into knots and has the Ashley Book of Knots so I was really chuffed when loading up a trailer and I used that hitch and he'd never seen it before.

BTW, I find it easiest to form the loop by just doing a slipknot in the standing end rather than the more involved method of forming the loop I see in most instructions for the Truckers' Hitch. It will still pull out easily enough but it's a lot easier to tie.

See, the thing is, repeating what I say doesn't do anything. Learning to argue will make you a much more interesting person. I strongly suggest Thank You for Arguing and This gem of a book.

The latter requires a good deal of reading comprehension to truly gain anything from it, so good luck.

Coincidentally, I finished reading this book last night. I'd highly recommend it as a brisk, light read that gives a great overview of the Eastern Empire.

Fascinating stuff.

This is a really good book you might like! It goes from the basics, like finding food and building shelter, to essentially rebuilding most of civilization! Its really good. https://www.amazon.ca/Knowledge-Rebuild-Civilization-Aftermath-Cataclysm/dp/0143127047

If anyone is considering getting a PhD, I highly recommend reading the book A PhD is Not Enough. I read it when I was in my last year of undergrad, and was applying for grad school. It has a lot of practical advice on how to succeed in academia, as well as stories of people who failed.

At the end day though, even if you do everything right, your odds of success are not great. You will have to work really hard, for a long time, getting paid very little, and chances are you will get next to no benefit from it. That's why I decided after I finished my masters degree, I would take my chances with the job market. After 4 months of job searching, I still haven't landed a job yet, but I do not regret my decision at all.

The system is broken, and stories like OP's are all too common. I would love to make a difference as an academic, but the sacrifice required is just simply not worth it.

You may not get any official documentation, but it becomes another bullet point on your resume. It will also expand your perspective so you speak with more content.

Great link!

How about using a double edged safety razor? Blades run about 6 cents per blade. I've been using the same box for 4 years now. I shave both my face and head with a safety razor. Shave like your grampa did! It's a better shave and much cheaper than cartridges or disposables.

Get this. Literally the best iced coffee i've made or had. A few places around here that aren't starbucks makes it this way.

No. There's plenty of other stuff that you need to know. Were there any complications with her other pregnancies that could present again? Does she have a history of losing pregnancies? Did she have any still-borns? Did she get Rhogam (which is given because if mom is Rh negative and baby gets Rh positive blood type from dad, mom can make antibodies to the baby's blood and you can have an anemic newborn). You want to know if she got any prenatal care and if there were any warning signs like placenta previa or if she was taking any medications or illicit drugs. There's a LOT of things to watch for and I don't feel like typing them all out. Sure, knowing if the mom understands what's going on with her body is a little helpful, but the main reason you're getting all that history is so that if something starts going south, you have some clues as to what might be the issue so that you can intervene early.

I kind of spat out that previous comment, so it might come across funny. In any case, I was just trying to point out that: No, even in multiparous women, labor doesn't last minutes. It usually lasts a few hours. It can go very quickly, but that isn't usually the case. According to the ACOG, the mean duration of latent labor (onset of labor to full cervical dilation) in multiparous women is 5.0 hours and active labor (full dilation to delivery of baby) is 2.5 hours. So, the only reason why I think that people can get the impression that labor is only minutes is that they would wait longer because they don't think its "real" labor.

The ACOG source I used was the textbook "Obstentrics and Gynecology", 6th ed.

You gotta learn your scales, man. One other thing I see recomended a lot is solo transcribing. As for books, I really like [mark levine's] (http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Theory-Book-Mark-Levine/dp/1883217040) for the theory, and this one, but since you're a bass player, you might get more out of a book specifically tailored to your instrument.

But the really most important thing is to practice improvisation whenever you can, preferably in a group. Maybe you can organize a small jazz combo where you live, or join classes with other aspiring jazz musicians like yourself?

get a travel router like this (http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-charging-Android-Windows-Blackberry/dp/B00EZT2PB4/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_2) and then connect it to the agreement page, then your other devices conect to the travel wifi router. This also works great in hotels so you can use chromecast, etc.

I use those metal diffusers and good loose leaf. Another option is to make your own tea bags. I buy plastic free tea bag papers from a great little Scottish company on amazon:

There are like 5 comments asking you for a link. Can you post a link in a comment?

Yes. you can.


Which spray do you use? Have you used different brands? Can you recommend one?


Look, it's a good tip, but you need to add more info. Otherwise it's like saying "hey everyone, wear socks. they're good."

There are several "publishers" doing this sort of thing on amazon

CreateSpace is one name to look out for, but in looking it up I see that that is a service that amazon provides, so it looks like others are using it to "publish" collections of Wikipedia articles.

There are other publisher names that seem to consist of nothing put the republication in print of internet resources, but I don't recall the names.

One that I actually found worthwhile (though flawed) is here

PROTIP:

Go to any drugstore and look on the bottom shelf for Certain Dri for about $5

Follow directions (by applying nightly), put on any regular deoderant you like during the day, and enjoy being sweat free FOREVER
