    Don't really have a pic to hand, but here's a small lifehack if anyone is finding wearing their mask is cutting into the top of their ears after wearing it for too long.

    Grab a spare black shoelace.
    Tie each end around either strap according to the length you require.
    Put it over your head and either rest the back of the lace over your crown, or lower down just under your ear.

    Voila. Facemask is secure, but not pulling on your ears :)

    Been suing a safety pin for that, old trick from med device manufacturing.

    Wouldn't that hurt your ears? Unless they're pierced already, of course. :D

    Wouldn't it be upside down?

    No - the page is upside to start if it was in front of the camera - the "mirror" reverses it

    ah of course. I was think from the fact we are viewing the page right way up.
    But it's already upside down from the webcam's POV.

    Plus in most cases you can reverse the image, e.g. left to right, like in a mirror. It's not like it's a concave surface like a spoon would be.

    Actually, I was right the first time. It doesn't work.

    Webcam is viewing page in a "mirror". So text will be a mirror image. Not impossible to solve backwards maths but certainly harder, like reading anything in a mirror.

    It's displayed correctly on her own screen because your own webcams/forward camera on phone automatically mirrors your image - which a lot of people don't actually realize.

    It says on the link that she changed the orientation of the image herself. I guess it'll depend on the settings of your computer.

    Changing settings will only affect setting your own computer. It won't affect what other people see.
    People watch a video see a true image which will be mirrored due to the CD.

    Not if you change your camera settings, I don't think.

    put a mirror in front of the laptop cam, and flip the image left-to-right in software. They use Zoom, which has a mirror mode. Done.

    They used a third party camera app to view a mirrored image and screen share it via zoom.
    That works was viewers see your screen as you do.

    Confirms that just throwing a camera up doesn’t work even though it appears on screen correctly.

    What you are baking either doesn't rise enough ,- heavy ,dense cakes ...
    Or its light fluffy and tastes crap ...

    Basically sabotaging the reciepe that you've graciously given to your friend ..

    ok.. lifehack though? :D


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Yes, a lifehack for not giving your family recipes away while getting people who keep pestering you for them off your back.


  • Administrators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,750 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭hullaballoo


    It's a lifehack if you want to maintain the air of mystery around baking. If you give someone "your" recipe, but your cakes are always blissfully light and the right flavour but their is either dense or tastes like a 9V battery, then you can ascribe it to your "touch".

    A lifehack for narcissists it may be but a lifehack it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,862 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    A world I have nary the slightest idea about. Fascinating :D

    I'm from Bray, I know what all batteries taste like. :D

    (Pretty sure all kids in the 80s went around licking 9V batteries for the literal buzz of it!)

    Does this forum support a 'hack-but-not' thread? cos.....Pinterest has a plethora under the guise - you know, the hacks that take ten times the money and time to do, then simply finding the right item for the job... or the "doesnt' this look cool" [but actually is ridiculous] hacks like, "cut your pies with small round cutters for cute miniature pies" ---- why? so my guests can have less pie? ...Falls under the "Yeah, I'm not gonna do that!" hack. :pac:

    I use the elastic from the previous facemask and do this to the fresh mask.

    Not sure how effective it would be, but it'd be worth a shot (excuse the pun).

    We had fire extinguishers in certain class rooms. (Science, woodwork, etc). People occasionally got a blast of one. Nobody went unconscious.
