Best video shorts<\/strong>
\nShort videos are an emerging art form. With the advent of phone cameras and free editing software they are within reach of almost any maker. One of my favorite seats to see the best art video shorts is to go to the\u00a0Vimeo Staff Picks<\/a>. They go through an ocean of new creations and curate the best video shorts. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Four different ways to read books<\/strong>
\nThe Curious Reader has a great\u00a0outline of the 4 different reading levels<\/a>\u00a0and sub-types pulled from \u201cHow to Read a Book<\/a>.\u201d The first level being\u00a0Elementary Reading \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0where the main question of reading is \u201cWhat does the sentence say?\u201d Level two is\u00a0Inspectional<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 where you ask, \u201cWhat is the book\/article about?\u201d This is how I read most news articles and blog posts. Level three is\u00a0Analytical \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>when you want to really understand the topic by asking questions and chewing and digesting it. The fourth level of reading is my favorite:\u00a0Syntopic Reading<\/strong>. This is where you read multiple books on the same subject and compare and contrast the ideas. Each reading level serves a different purpose, so it\u2019s helpful to ask yourself before reading, \u201cWhat do I want out of this book or article?\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Easy boiled eggs<\/strong>
\nThe easiest way I know to boil eggs is with an Instant Pot pressure cooker. Put one cup of water into the pot, add 1-6 eggs (use a steamer basket if you have one), and cook using low pressure for 3 minutes. Let the pressure subside without releasing the valve. You\u2019ll have perfectly boiled eggs. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Saline nasal spray<\/strong>
\nI stopped using a neti pot to irrigate my sinuses with salt water because of the\u00a0risk of infection<\/a>. I switched to pressurized aerosol saline mist, called\u00a0Simply Saline by Arm & Hammer<\/a>. It\u2019s sterile and convenient. It never fails to get rid of my\u00a0phantosmia<\/a>\u00a0whenever it flares up. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Extended flame<\/strong>
\nThe most useable flame lighter I have is a\u00a0Bic Reach<\/a>. This design takes your usual Bic flick lighter, and outfits it with an extended 1.5\u201d (35mm) pipe that ignites the flame away from your thumb. I find those long butane lighters with a two-button safety switch to be both fussy and unreliable, but a regular Bic can\u2019t reach where I want the flame, so this Bic Reach is just perfect for lighting candles, fireplaces, camp stoves, etc., reliably on the first try. It\u2019s probably not what you\u2019d carry everyday in your pocket, but perfect in the utility drawer. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Ways people improved their quality of life<\/strong>
\n\u201cWhat improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0was asked by u\/colorfulsoul_ on Reddit and the thread is worth scanning for ideas to adopt. Someone suggested placing your phone on permanent \u201cDo not Disturb\u201d only allowing calls from \u201cContacts\u201d \u2014 which would save me from a lot of spammers. Other life improving tips were: breathing exercises, buying a good kitchen knife, separate blankets in beds for couples, and buying a cart that will carry all your groceries from your car to inside in one trip. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
