Cool things to know in life

My fav is #6 at the bottom. Test a remote control using phone camera. Tried it and it works, so cool!

Will be trying the free wifi at airports one next week too, and also the trick to ice cool a drink in 3 minutes.

Big thanks for the "How to unlock a door chain."

I'm sure that'll be a lot of use for murderers and rapists posing as door-to-door salesmen.

Put all your clothes on hangers and make sure the hook is pointing the same way eg to the left. If you subsequently ever wear the item of clothing, turn the hook to the right. Any hangers facing the left after a year are clothes you didn't wear in the past twelve months and should be chucked away.

TBH I just look at my clothes. I know which ones I wear and how frequently.
