Actually you may need to use a curved suface to keep a constant radius from the lens. Must find that picutre of using a PostIt to capture dust when drilling a hole in a wall :)

If you're in a lift and don't want to stop to let people on, hold the door close button and the floor you wan't to go to button at the same time.

(It's a bit like saying, "Even though it's technically my turn to pay, I played the reverse card so now the bill's on you" - like giving the police who've just arrested you a "get out of jail free" Monopoly card, and they let you go).

No it's more like what used to happen to happen to prisoner escorts. If the prisoner escaped in transit then the guard would have to do their sentence.

One official in China who had nothing to loose after letting prisoners escape because back then it was a capital offence went on the run and became an outlaw.
Long story short, he ended up as Emperor. :eek:

In real life. one of the men responsible for training the Anthropoid assassins was Christopher Lee, who worked for British intelligence during World War II.

Oh-kay - interesting, but not really a life hack.

Curious, don't libraries limit an author's earnings? I.e. you spend ages creating something and then only earn money 1 time when a library buys it?

Not exactly. Every year, libraries or their allibrary authority (fingal, DCC etc) pays a fee to their national copyright agency who distributes it to authors based on borrowing popularity.

I have my phone charger cable taped to my bedside table, that way I don't have to go searching for it on the ground every time I need to charge my phone. I thought everyone did this but I had a friend over the other day and she was amazed that she had never thought to do this.
