I got\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sZbSFG\" target=\"_blank\">30 wooden hangers<\/a>\u00a0cheaply from Amazon Basics for $18. Happy clothes!. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organize reddit posts:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/savvit.io\/\" target=\"_blank\">Savvit.io<\/a>\u00a0is great for the occasional redditor, like me, because I save a lot of posts and then I forget about them. A basic, free account let\u2019s me sync up once a month, organizes all my saves by subreddits, and then I sort through them to revisit, delete or bookmark permanently. A pro account is only $9 per year and lets you link multiple accounts and gives you unlimited saves and monthly synchronizations. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digest lactose:<\/strong><br \/>\nMy wife is lactose intolerant and gets a stomach ache when she eats dairy, unless she chews a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2vlhOd4\" target=\"_blank\">Lactaid tablet<\/a>\u00a0beforehand. It contains lactase enzyme, which breaks down lactose. It really works. She keeps them in her purse. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn a new skill:<\/strong><br \/>\nI signed up for a free 30-day trial of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillshare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Skillshare<\/a>\u00a0because I wanted to improve my drawing skills, and I did. There\u2019s more than 16,000 video classes to choose from. A monthly subscription is $15 per month, but I opted to cancel before the trial ended \u2014 they make it really easy and in fact, when I went to cancel they extended my trial another month! They also offer classes in photography, film, cooking and writing. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hand protection:<\/strong><br \/>\nI have a supply of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sZqi8I\" target=\"_blank\">nitrile gloves<\/a>\u00a0on hand. I wear them to prevent my hands from getting dirty, like when handling rat traps or greasing the wheels on my garage door. I also use them to keep my hands from smearing nice things, like high quality art paper for my wide-format printer. Two hundred ambidextrous gloves cost $13.50 on Amazon. (Tip: some tasks require just one glove.) \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Painless history:<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite example of how video is displacing much of what books used to do is this short YouTube video on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mh5LY4Mz15o\" target=\"_blank\">History of Japan<\/a>. In only 9 minutes it covers the complex, twisted, obscure history of Japan but with insight and clarity. (One of its subtle tricks is to use nick names instead of proper names for people.) The clip has racked up 30 million views because it teaches so well. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 52<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29296"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29296"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29299,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29296\/revisions\/29299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
