Personal experience speaking?
AH, an advice and tips section! When it comes to advice, I've been told many times that I'm full of it. Here are some handy bits of knowledge.
Never Judge a Man until you have walked a mile in his shoes.
Because by then you are a mile away...and he has no shoes.
Things are a lot more like they used to be, than they are now.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
When in doubt, mumble.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.
Conserve water, pee in the shower.
For colds : take equal parts honey,bourbon,Milk of Magnesia - won't help the cold,but makes you afraid to sneeze or cough.
The giant hole in the ozone layer is letting in too much gravity. That's why we're getting heavier as we get older.
Procrastinators Unite!
Tomorrow.
Is this what you had in mind? ;)
Always tip waiters/waitresses and taxi drivers when in the US. They get scary when you don't.
Culture shock.
Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window (Steve Wozniak).
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss (Robert Heinlein)
When you have insomnia, listen to an audiobook. Ones with monotonous voices are best.

That would be Bill Bryson. He decided to do his own audio books. They are the best advert ever created to promote voice actors in the same way that William Shatner's singing promotes ear plugs.

My solution for extending a paint brush to reach those hard to get at places.
Actually using it to apply anti-mold stuff in the bathroom and kitchen.
Further on my arm problem and bandages: if you need a tubular arm or lower leg bandage in a hurry and have a pair of socks you can use, cut off just above the heel, works fine and no itching at all!
You could even colour co-ordinate your bandage! :grin:
Don't eat the yellow snow.

You mean . . . It's
not lemon flavour!? :puke:

Hmm so how do I drive?
I've said it before here, but don't keep your phone in your back pocket.
If you see an ad online for one of those windshield wiper shaving machines and feel fascinated, talk to a male acquaintance about borrowing a used disposable razor. (Shaver, some call them, to distinguish the apparatus from the knife itself) It will do the same job for free. Got me through university on two sets of windscreen wipers.
That said, get a job. buy new wipers. That be the advice behind the tip.
Also on the subject of ads for crap you don't need, no, TV Frog is not a total scam. It WILL turn your dumb TV into a smart TV. No such thing as free cable though, that part is utter bollocks.
Moral here being, "get a job. Buy a smart TV," I guess. Heh... Sticking to some unintended subjects here. Nice... Nice.
More Gray Wisdom, you say..? Lemme see...
Barcode readers can be useful in "dialing" numbers and emails on Skype/Jabber/etc. Does require a tiny bit of effort to set it up, but The Asmo likes His complicated phone book.
When surfing the web abroad, go to whatever passes for a 7/11 there and get a local pre-paid 4G WiFi subscription. That, or STOP CALLING THE BLOODY ASMO FIVE TIMES A DAY OVER AN INTERNET BILL OF NOK 1800,- DAMN YOU! /end caps lock
Milo Yiannopoulos' book is not at all bad so far... Might even review it here later. Still, if you are the kind of person who gets outraged by a troll... Avoid.
Also, Luxembourg is evil. Avoid. >:(
It seems that baking soda and superglue catalyse to form a solid plastic (acrylic?) matrix
Fill a gap with baking soda and get the superglue into it fast. The gap will be filled and glued almost instantaneously! The matrix is quite hard and can be smoothed and painted it seems.
Time for some experiments I think . . . Well, when I have bought some baking soda!
Tip: To avoid drop bear attack when walking through the Australian bush, smear some Vegemite behind your ears. True story, no-one has ever been attacked by a drop bear while wearing Vegemite.
