Any important recent discoveries in your life?

This past month I:

- learned that I really, really liked hummus;
- became acquainted with the ins and outs of incense (and setting other things on fire);
- discovered the joy and convenience of instant coffee, which I didn't even know existed before;
- had my ass kicked by class until I went to TA hours for help, swore to return every week;

Your turn.

GakFace

-Verizon Sucks Balls. Still not getting help to fix the line.. Comcast should be upping their Down....
-taking the SandBags outta my truck really save on gas. (Ok so this one is a few months old, but I thought it was note-worthy)
-That getting turned down really isn't always as bad as first thought.

Taking action is so heartening.
My mum is a pretty strange individual when it comes down to it.
Its sometimes worth telling rude people that they are rude.

I learned that the most common red colouring in lipstick and rouge is based upon cochineal. This is created by liquifying little insects. Mmmmm

Living in Sydney for 4 years has made me a pussy when it comes to the cold. I actually shivered today, and it was only 17 degrees.

30 year old, $650 bottles of Krug vintage Champagne do not taste as good as you would expect (and I'm a big fan of vintage Krug). Stick to bottles less than 10 years old.

Mr Mephisto

Great idea for a thread...

The amount of pushups you THINK you can do, do not equal the actual number you can do.

Promises you make to yourself are meaningless unless you put some weight behind them and make them mean something.

'Taking a break' from a loved one sucks.

And I just learned how to link to individual posts instead of entire threads, for example the one about the dreaded ONE-ITIS

Until I read this thread, I didn't know you could do that. Still don't know how, but at least I know it's possible.

lol.

Heres HOW you do it:
When you see the post you want to link to, go to the 'edit' button and copy the link location. You should then have something like this:
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/editpost.php?s=&action=editpost&postid=702984

Then just replace the number of the following link (702984 in this case) with the number in the link of the comment you want to link to and post.
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?s=&postid=702984#post702984

That is also how you get to see your comment after you post it.

I learnt that ill probably never have to link certain posts. I was oblivious to it earlier, and the thought had never crossed my mind. Now that i know it can be done, ill probably forget about it in the 20 minutes it takes me to fall asleep. Ill probably have weird dreams about it and then wake up in a cold sweat with the sudden urge to link posts and wonder where the fuck i got the idea from in the first place.

Yep.

Nipples... they're so FUN!

New discovery: It's very easy to turn crappy photos from a mediocre 2 MP camera into sweet-ass web images by playing with the Levels option in Photoshop. It's also very easy to make the end result all artsy just by adding a white border around the image.

anti fishstick

hehe.

i've also discovered how to set the right aperture and shutter speed to take a picture of my teevee screen.
