See, a real lifehacker would have turned it towards the counter, and would have put a plate at the right distance.

A real life hacker would have it automated to do this:

That would be horrifically uncomfortable, and unstable.

Not really, I'd say it'd be like lying down on a slim wooden bench, and I'd say it's sturdier than it looks (and shaped like a triangle, too). Mind you, those girls don't seem to have any weight problems at all, so that may have something to do with it, too.

This is the one I have now, it has a universal plug option, so I can unplug the local lamps, plug this in, plug the lamp, my laptop and various USB devices

But a real lifehacker would repurpose a catheter bag hanger. There are lots of different designs, but this is one kind.

Or even one of those hangers you hook over a door, like these ones.

He was cutting that very wide, but cut it thinner and it can be used as 'rope'.

Again, that only works if the bin isn't "sealed" like a bucket and the air has a way of escaping as you press down on the bin liner

Alternatively, you can put an air hole in the bin or a air supply down to the bottom.

Milk drum caps are so flimsy that you can press them back onto the drum. Add a slight twist motion while pressing with your palm to complete the job.

A small hack, but considering how much milk we consume here, this technique add years onto your life!

One for the winter- if you’re out late and car windscreen is frozen over, use an old plastic loyalty card to scrape the ice from your windscreen.

ha, I always send my CV as a PDF, so I'm assuming it doesn't work with that?

New Home · 18-06-2020 12:00pm

Worth trying, anyway. I'd say they'd find out if they looked at the CV while using the accessibility options (high contrast, etc).

Why would a PDF make a difference?
What format do you think she is refering to

Ctrl+F too

But you're giving them way too much credit for detailed checking

I'm assuming the scanner doesn't use OCR to extract text from a PDF and simply loads up CVs sent in Word format and parses the xml (which would then allow text in white to be read)

You don't need OCR to read PDF text. If you export a file to PDF, the text is store as text. That why to can highlight, edit, copy text, etc.

OCR is only needed to read text in images such as scanned documents.

Interesting always thought it was an image export and software to read the text just had inbuilt OCR

Mellor · 19-06-2020 1:04am

I've sure you could export as raster image. But the default is text, as it uses less data and is more functional.
Same reason why you can google search and return PDF content results
