00:00Did you know that most break-ins take place in the middle of the day?
00:05The FBI says burglaries happen mid-day because people are outside the house.
00:11Don't let your home be an easy mark for theft.
00:14Here are 10 tips to protect your home and some security items you might need along the way.
00:21Number 1 on our list is portable door locks.
00:25They aren't just designed for regular houses.
00:28Let's say you stay in a rented house where other guests also come and go.
00:34You can carry one of these portable locks with you.
00:38Many rooms have secondary locking mechanisms besides the regular lock,
00:43like security chains attached to the door, but you shouldn't always rely on them.
00:48These mechanisms are only held by screws. It means they're easy to dislocate.
00:54There are many portable lock models, so what should you look for?
00:59Ease of use is the key for installation and removal in case of emergency.
01:05Most inward swing doors are suitable for these items.
01:09Adalock is a good example. You can find it on Amazon.
01:12It's fairly inexpensive, has a versatile design, and most importantly, comes in one piece.
01:18It takes seconds to upgrade your safety.
01:21You insert the claws into the door's strike plate and then close the door.
01:25It'll be held in position with a handle. There you go.
01:30Burglars don't hang out in your house or bother stealing heavy stuff, like TVs.
01:36They want to get in and out in under 10 minutes.
01:39What you should do is take some precautions to slow them down.
01:44Laminated glass is great for this.
01:47You should consider investing in it.
01:49Normal windows that are made with tempered glass can shatter easily,
01:53but laminated windows are like shields.
01:56They can crack but not break apart.
01:59Instead of making smashing noises and grabbing attention, the burglar will probably leave.
02:04The structure of laminated glass is different from the regular one.
02:09It holds the piece intact even after a strong impact.
02:13Laminated glass windows are 100 times stiffer and 5 times more durable than standard.
02:20What makes these types of glass so special?
02:23Firstly, it's made with layers.
02:26There are two layers of glass, and there's a vinyl material in between that helps keep the two layers intact.
02:32As a bonus, laminated ones have a soundproofing feature.
02:37Two birds with one stone.
02:43The interlayer absorbs some of the outside noise.
02:47It's glass after all.
02:48Aren't we going to see the vinyl layer?
02:50That might be the question that popped into your head.
02:54Nope, laminated glass is transparent, just like other types.
02:58Enjoy the crystal clear views while staying safe.
03:01I would say, but unfortunately, it's expensive to get these specifically manufactured burglar deterring glasses.
03:08You can have professionals install a laminate film onto your standard windows.
03:13Or you can even buy security film.
03:15They all work according to the same principle.
03:18But obviously, these alternatives cannot be as strong as the laminated glass itself.
03:24The next few tips come from an ex-burglar, Michael Fraser.
03:29Now, he's giving bits of advice on how to protect from theft.
03:34His first tip is quite interesting.
03:36Don't put a beware of the dog sticker if you have a dog.
03:40If a dog can walk around the house without triggering the alarm, so can a human.
03:45This is the way burglars think.
03:48Plus, many dogs get friendly in a short time, unless they're specifically trained to catch strangers.
03:54Otherwise, they can easily be put in a room and, well, you know the rest.
03:59Bye-bye to precious items.
04:02Advertising your house for sale online is a standard procedure to attract potential buyers, but also thieves.
04:09With your innocent picks, burglars can have floor plans with virtual tours.
04:14They can easily spot the entry and escape routes.
04:17Sounds like a perfect plan to rob a house.
04:21Number 5 is buying a home security system.
04:25It helps prevent thefts and notifies you if that happens.
04:29According to the data, homes without a security system are almost three times more vulnerable to break-ins.
04:35There are numerous ones to choose from.
04:37Some are pricey, but luckily, there are affordable options, too.
04:42You don't even have to call professionals.
04:44This do-it-yourself security system from Amazon is an example of a budget-friendly gadget with useful features.
04:51These types of devices are designed to be easy to install.
04:55You'll be guided through an app for the software and for the product itself.
05:00Bonus, you won't have to deal with screws, tools, or drilling.
05:03They have fast emergency dispatch that can notify the authorities if you say so.
05:09Since it's easy to set up, it's perfect for short-term residents, too.
05:13Remember I mentioned that if a dog can walk in the house, so can a thief?
05:18Well, technology is not in favor of thieves.
05:35Another device to add a layer of protection to you, especially in shared residences like dorms, is a doorstop alarm.
05:43These devices are very compact, so you can put them in your luggage and take them on your dream vacation.
05:50You can use it in your daily life.
05:52A doorstop alarm can be used on any door as long as you place it inside.
05:57It works as a door wedge, but it keeps the door closed.
06:00How does it work?
06:01When the alarm is triggered, it will keep the intruder outside the door and activate a noise alarm.
06:07It can wake the owner of the house or neighbors.
06:10This one, again, can be easily found on Amazon.
06:14Ex-Burglar Michael also recommends thinking like a thief.
06:18Ask yourself, how would I get in?
06:21It's a great starting exercise for discovering vulnerable spots.
06:25Walk around your home.
06:27Is there a window that can be easily opened?
06:29Oh wait, is it your laptop on the desk that can be seen from the street?
06:34Speaking of the street, if you buy a new electronic device like a TV or a computer,
06:40don't leave the empty cartons displayed near the trash container.
06:43This looks like an invitation to thieves.
06:46They will know that you have expensive electronics inside the house.
06:51Instead, break down the cardboard boxes and then put them away for recycling.
06:57Unfortunately, first floor windows are entry points in 23% of home break-ins.
07:03To prevent this, you can purchase a wireless alarm kit.
07:07When it comes to the front door, installing a double-key deadbolt can be a solution.
07:13Similarly, motion sensor lighting does the job.
07:17Do you have blind spots around your home?
07:20Upgrade to a security camera with night vision.
07:23If you want to see what's happening inside your house rather than outside,
07:27you can get one of these cool security gadgets.
07:30Orbi Robotic Mobile Sphere is like a ball, but it has a camera inserted in it.
07:35It doesn't have a limited view.
07:37Imagine, you're at the office and want to play with your dog.
07:41Your 4-pod best friend can chase the ball at home while you're away controlling the device.
07:46Ah, okay.
07:47We're here to save your house from burglars, so I'll leave fun pet toys for another video.
07:53Here is a shocking truth about fences.
07:56Most people believe that fences are like guardians protecting their property.
08:00Sorry to break it to you, but even tall and solid ones aren't as secure as you believe.
08:05The number one rule of a thief is not to be caught.
08:09And if they broke into a house with fences at night, they'd be perfectly covered.
08:14Your neighbors can't see who that person is.
08:17You know, unless they have x-ray vision.
08:19The fences should be hard to climb.
08:21One of the points of having a fence is privacy.
08:24But I'm just saying metal, wire, and picket fences are harder for intruders to fly in.
08:30So, we crack the burglar's code.
08:32So, implementing the tips on our list might help you discourage and prevent burglary, and keep you safe.
08:38Did you experience such unpleasant incidents?
08:41If so, do you have any other tips for fellow brightsiders to watch out for?
08:47Linda is an intern at a dental clinic.
08:51She's walking up to her car with a coffee in one hand, and a purse in the other.
08:57She takes out the keys, but they fall out of her hands.
09:01She puts the bag on the car's roof, picks up the keys, opens the door, starts the engine, and drives
09:07away.
09:09She pulls out onto the road and realizes she must have left her bag on the roof.
09:14Linda pulls over, gets out, and looks back.
09:17Her purse is on the ground.
09:19Linda's approaching it, but a truck runs over the bag.
09:23Her cosmetics, a cell phone, a book, and everything else is flattened and broken.
09:29Linda gets out a smashed, curved tube of toothpaste.
09:32She squeezes the gel onto her palm.
09:35How is this possible?
09:36There should be a complete mess inside the tube.
09:39But somehow, these three colored stripes didn't mix.
09:42They're running parallel to each other, with the same thickness.
09:46Linda decides to find out how it works.
09:48She comes home and puts the toothpaste in the freezer.
09:54After a couple of hours, she takes out the tube and cuts it in half.
10:00She sees a frozen substance with three colors inside.
10:04It seems they put the gel in the tube in this way, with three stripes.
10:08When you squeeze the tube, the paste comes out evenly.
10:11Okay, but why don't these colors mix inside?
10:15Linda finds out there's a whole science studying the deformation and flow of substances in liquid, gaseous, and soft-solid
10:24states.
10:25They call it rheology.
10:27They use this science to create the necessary viscosity and density of toothpaste,
10:31to prevent it from mixing inside the tube and turn it into foam as you brush your teeth.
10:37They put toothpaste in the tube from the backside, with the help of a special machine.
10:42Different strips inside the tube have the same rheology.
10:46Under uneven pressures, they retain the same thickness and flow.
10:50When at rest inside the box, these strips have a more voluminous shape.
10:55But when you squeeze them, they get thinner as they approach the nozzle.
10:59They're released at the same speed and consistency, no matter how hard you press.
11:04The toothpaste regains the thickness after being pressed.
11:08It's like a marshmallow that returns to its shape after you've smashed it.
11:13Some dental companies equip their product with a small cylinder connected to the nozzle inside the tube.
11:19They fill the pack with white paste and put a small amount of two colorful gels on the sides of
11:25the cylinder.
11:26As you're squeezing out the toothpaste, it's passing through both sides of the cylinder and pushing the colored gel out
11:33of the container.
11:33Then, all of it comes through the nozzle in the form of three stripes.
11:39There are a lot of different patterns of toothpaste.
11:42It can be three stripes or just one color.
11:47But white, red, and blue are the classics.
11:50The white stripe is responsible for whitening teeth and removing the dirt.
11:54This is an essential function of toothpaste, so there's a lot of white gel.
11:59The blue stripe is responsible for fresh breath and protection from germs.
12:04The red color protects and strengthens the gums.
12:08This is not a strict rule, and companies may change the functions of the stripes however they want.
12:14Linda is a little dizzy from all this knowledge, but she seems to understand everything.
12:20She squeezes the toothpaste onto the brush and thinks,
12:24Why does the brush have exactly this length?
12:26And why should the toothpaste cover it completely?
12:30Brushes have various shapes, but their proportions are generally explicitly created for comfortable cleaning.
12:36And here's a little secret about the amount of toothpaste.
12:39You don't need to cover the entire brush.
12:42One little piece size is enough to clean your teeth.
12:45Companies want you to run out of toothpaste quickly to make you buy a new one sooner.
12:51Linda is brushing her teeth and thinking how lucky she is to live in the 21st century.
12:57Toothpaste, dentists, and dentures.
12:59So many different ways to treat and care for teeth.
13:02She can imagine how difficult it was for people long before they invented dental technologies in the distant past.
13:09It seems they all had severe teeth problems and were in pain.
13:13But, in fact, they didn't.
13:15Even cave people had much better teeth than we have now.
13:20Archaeologists found evidence of this.
13:22Many ancient skulls have a perfect row of teeth without cavities.
13:27Linda doesn't believe it.
13:28She looks at her electronic toothbrush.
13:30Hmm, those ancient civilizations must have had some secret technologies that we don't know about.
13:36But, there were no dental technologies.
13:39To understand how they managed to keep their teeth so healthy, you first need to understand what a tooth is.
13:45On the inside, it consists of dentin.
13:49A flexible but durable substance.
13:55The outer part is covered with the most solid material in the human body, enamel.
14:01It's made of calcium and covers each tooth.
14:04And it's not just a strong shield.
14:06Enamel consists of hundreds of thousands of thin fibers called prisms.
14:11One prism is brittle.
14:12But a bundle of a million can be as hard as a diamond.
14:16The prisms are closely twisted with each other, like a rope, and form an ideal tooth structure.
14:22That's why teeth are a perfect tool for survival.
14:26Imagine a cave human eating meat and vegetables.
14:29This food is different from steak and salads at a restaurant.
14:33Back then, food was quite dense and solid.
14:36To chew it, you had to have strong jaws and teeth.
14:39Every meal was a real workout.
14:42During chewing, the fibers in meats and vegetables cleaned teeth from dirt and dental plaque.
14:48People had strong gums and didn't know about cavities.
14:51Their teeth were practically invulnerable.
14:55Many years later, we began to use this excellent tool for survival to chew soft buns, hamburgers, tender pâtés, and
15:03omelets.
15:04Teeth no longer received the load they were created for.
15:07That's why they've become weak.
15:10Humanity is faced with a diet that has never existed in the entire history of our planet.
15:15Too little time had passed from the moment when people were chewing on mammoths to the instant they started ordering
15:21tender meatballs at a restaurant.
15:23In simple words, softness has taken over the strongest material in the human body.
15:29Yeah, the teeth became weaker.
15:31But then, another serious problem arose.
15:34Sugar.
15:35Cavities appeared when they first brought sugar to Europe.
15:38This delicacy instantly became popular.
15:41They added it to food and just ate it in cubes like candies.
15:46Sugar was considered a prestigious and expensive thing.
15:49Of course, no one knew that this product would cause tooth decay.
15:53When this problem appeared, people started to create new dental technologies.
15:58There are other destroyers besides sugar.
16:01Your mouth contains a lot of bacteria.
16:04Most of them help digest food, get rid of bad microbes, and clean teeth from plaque.
16:09But there are also harmful germs that destroy teeth structure and form cavities.
16:14In the past, when food was more natural and rugged, these microbes were not dangerous for strong teeth.
16:23Today, we eat food rich in carbs, flavorings, various additives, and sugar.
16:29We help harmful bacteria multiply, making them stronger.
16:33Your lifestyle also affects dental health.
16:36In the past, people had to get food in the fields, forests, and mountains.
16:41They mostly lived an active lifestyle and burned a lot of calories.
16:45Nobody really works like that now.
16:48Training in the gym is much easier than trying to catch a mammoth.
16:52Lack of activity provides calories.
16:55Extra calories and germs create stomach problems.
16:58Gas and acids from the intestine enter the oral cavity and destroy the teeth as well.
17:04Now, just look at these guys for comparison.
17:06Cats, lions, bears, tigers, cows, and other animals with teeth
17:15still eat the same way they did millions of years ago.
17:18And that's why they hardly ever have dental problems.
17:21Many tribes of indigenous people living far from civilization also have perfect teeth.
17:28Linda realizes that all this is true.
17:30And what do we all have to do with that?
17:32Move to a distant island and eat bananas?
17:35No worries. It's not that bad after all.
17:38Just eat less sugar, clean your teeth with a brush, and use dental floss twice a day.
17:43Visit the dentist regularly and everything will be fine.
17:50If you're one of those people who can't seem to tie their bathrobe tight enough,
17:54try this out, instead of placing the rope on the back.
17:57Rather, try placing it in the front.
18:00Do your earphones constantly slip out?
18:03You should wear them upside down to stop this from happening.
18:06Perhaps I should have skipped this one.
18:07Now I might be running out of excuses to start jogging.
18:11If you're one of those people who can't eat a burger without making a mess,
18:15well, first of all, welcome to the club.
18:17And second, flip it upside down.
18:20Yeah, it surprised me too.
18:22I never thought I would really make any progress with this one.
18:26Speaking of mess, Pringles can be tricky to eat too.
18:30Instead of reaching your hands in a container, perhaps you should try this.
18:33Place a piece of paper and put it on its side.
18:36Slide it on out and now you have a practical tray to eat the chips.
18:42Most of us haven't been sitting on the toilet properly.
18:45According to the anatomy of our body, we're not supposed to be sitting at a 90-degree angle.
18:51The more natural position would be squatting,
18:53because that way your digestive system is not constricting that much as when sitting.
18:58That's why the mini-step stool comes in handy.
19:01Try getting one of these to keep it by the toilet.
19:06The right and perhaps the most practical way to put a trash bag inside of your bin could be,
19:11once again, if you turn it upside down.
19:14Then you can place a bag on top of the trash can
19:16and simply pull the top of the bag downward.
19:21Who would have thought that sticking a post-it on the wall could be tricky too?
19:25Well, to do this better, just peel it from the side.
19:28That way, the paper won't curl.
19:32No matter what I do, my cabinet always looks messy, so this trick comes in handy.
19:37Hang all of your spray bottles on a clothing rod.
19:40Ta-da! You got yourself more space to make more mess.
19:44For all of you who like those small tricks that make your sandwich look better,
19:48cut your ham or cheese in half.
19:49That way, you can divide pieces and arrange them to fit your sandwich the way they're supposed to.
19:55I had to learn to eat apples properly too, so if you eat it from the bottom to top,
20:00the core of the apple mixes in with the rest of the fruit, so nothing ends up wasted.
20:05When you're wrapping your towel around the waist, take the edges and roll them up.
20:11Oh man, not the scissors too!
20:13Okay then, put your ring finger and thumb between the loops.
20:16That way, your hand will get some extra strength and stability while working with scissors.
20:23Push the center of your food container.
20:25That way, you actually close all four corners at once.
20:28Finally!
20:30Then, there's taking a shower too.
20:33During the winter, when it's cold outside, a few things can make your day as much as a hot shower
20:37can.
20:38But there's one problem with that.
20:40Hot water actually opens your pores, which means your skin is losing more water.
20:45Plus, this way, you wash away all those oily layers that protect your skin, so this might make your skin
20:51itchy and dry.
20:53Warm showers are okay, but try to avoid your water from being too hot.
20:58Along with this, I know we all prefer long showers after an exhausting day,
21:03but once again, being in the water for too long dries out your skin.
21:07So, it's okay to take a shower every day, but it's supposed to be as short as possible.
21:13You'll want to know more about this one.
21:15How to charge your phone without destroying its battery.
21:18First, the best would be to charge it a little at a time,
21:22whenever there's a chance, even when you only have a few minutes.
21:26Don't fully discharge the phone before you plug it in.
21:29So, don't let your phone's battery level go too low because it wears down your battery.
21:34Next, the ideal thing to do to keep its lifespan longer would be to keep your battery's charge level somewhere
21:40between 65% and 75%.
21:43Of course, it's hard to keep it this way all the time, so at least aim between 45% and
21:4875%.
21:51There's no need to fully charge your phone either, especially when you're going from a low charge level.
21:56For example, if your battery level is lower than 25% and you charge it to 100%,
22:02this will reduce the capacity of your battery as well as shorten its lifespan.
22:07A high voltage, which means when you're fully charging your phone, only stresses your battery and wears it out.
22:13So yeah, you guessed it right.
22:15It's better to avoid charging the phone overnight too.
22:19Here's something about trimming your fingernails properly.
22:22So, you probably notice a subtle curve on your nail clippers.
22:25It seems as if these are made for a single snip action.
22:29In reality, it takes three or four clips to do the work.
22:33Avoid cramming your nail into the clipper's head and trying to snip it right away.
22:37When you clip your nail straight on, you can bend and damage it and try not to go too short
22:42either.
22:44During your first driving lessons, you most likely learned the 10 and 2 rule.
22:49Imagine your steering wheel is a round clock showing 2 and 10.
22:52They say you should keep your hands exactly there.
22:56It's how you're supposed to keep optimum control over your car, especially if you need to avoid an obstacle that
23:02comes out of nowhere.
23:03But this is apparently wrong because the recommended position is now 9 and 3 or at least something close to
23:10that.
23:10That way, you keep your hands out of the way of the airbags.
23:14You should place both hands on the opposite sides of the wheel because that way you can comfortably make turns
23:20when you're driving at higher speeds.
23:23Even scrambled eggs is not just cracking a couple of eggs into a hot, oily pan and whisking it.
23:29The trick is to take some time so you can scramble the eggs over medium-low heat.
23:34When you do a quick sizzle, you'll only dry out your eggs, which is probably fine if you're in a
23:38hurry.
23:39But it's better to take a minute or so more to get a better breakfast.
23:43So, crack the eggs in a separate bowl and whisk them.
23:47Drop a little bit of butter into a non-stick pan.
23:50Pour the eggs in there and stir them over medium-low heat until they start to solidify.
23:55You can also remove them from the burner before they begin to look done.
23:58They'll cook a little bit more until they cool down anyway.
24:03Have you ever thought you should improve sitting in front of your computer too?
24:07Even if you work out after you come home, it's still not enough to completely reverse the consequences of a
24:14day you mostly spent in a chair.
24:16So, it's important to have some micro-motion periods throughout the day.
24:21For example, you can just stretch a couple of times per hour or spend a few seconds walking.
24:28Chewing too much gum or sucking mints is not such a good habit.
24:31It's something we mostly take as a short-term fix for bad breath.
24:35But in case they contain sugar, and they mostly do, that sugar actually feeds the bacteria in your mouth and
24:41gut.
24:42If you can't avoid mints and gums and like to have them with you, at least try to choose ones
24:47that don't contain artificial flavors, colors, and aspartame.
24:51A type of artificial sweetener mostly used in these things.
24:56What's your favorite sleeping position?
24:58If it's on your stomach, think about changing your sleeping habits.
25:01First, if you sleep on your stomach, you are severely twisting your spine.
25:06Since you'll turn your head to one side and have one hip hitched up, this position affects your blood flow.
25:12So, ideally, you should sleep either on your side or your back.
25:15Can you believe it?
25:17There are two different ways to drink juice from a juice box.
25:21The first way is the default one.
25:23And the second is to flip the straw over so that its shorter side sits at the bottom of the
25:29box.
25:29Using the first method, you may have difficulty getting the last sips of liquid because the straw can't reach all
25:36the corners properly.
25:37Some straws have their bottom corner sharper than the top.
25:40It's deliberately designed that way to pierce through the seal.
25:44That's why some people believe the right way to drink juice is the conventional one.
25:49Now, let's continue with straws.
25:51Do you know there's a correct way to use a straw while drinking from a can of soda?
25:56So, you're about to have some coke.
25:58You pop the tab open, then you put a straw in the can.
26:01Now, you need to make a constant effort to keep the straw steady.
26:05See this hole in the top?
26:07Yeah!
26:08Turn the pop tab around and put your straw through the hole.
26:11It'll serve as a straw holder.
26:13No need to be annoyed by the tipping straw.
26:16So, what's the best way to eat a cupcake?
26:19Turn it into a sandwich.
26:21Step 1.
26:21Peel off the paper wrapped around the cupcake.
26:24Step 2.
26:25Carefully divide the cake into two parts.
26:28Step 3.
26:29Put the bottom side of the cupcake on top of the frosting.
26:33This is how you eat a cupcake like a pro.
26:36Okay, another quick word about cakes.
26:38People generally use kitchen knives to cut cakes into two parts.
26:42But you can use dental floss.
26:45Take a piece of floss and wrap it around the cake horizontally.
26:48Hold the ends tight with both hands and pull them in opposite directions.
26:53There you go.
26:54Now you have an evenly cut cake.
26:56Smooth, huh?
26:57You can use floss to cut through a cake vertically, too.
27:00This way, you'll reduce the chance of messing up the frosting.
27:04Do you use your fingers to dip your Oreos in milk?
27:07Try using a fork.
27:09Stick it between the wafers vertically and dip the cookie in milk.
27:13Well, you try it.
27:14I'm sticking with my fingers.
27:15Been doing it all my life.
27:17Hey, call me a rebel.
27:18You put your food in the microwave.
27:21The plate is hot and the upper part of the dish is steaming.
27:24You start eating.
27:25Oh, no, not again.
27:27Your meal hasn't heated evenly.
27:29If you want your dish to be equally warm, arrange it in a donut shape and leave an empty spot
27:35in the center.
27:36The middle part of your dish takes longer to heat up.
27:39By the time the center warms up, the edges might be overheated.
27:43Sometimes, you need to microwave two bowls of food at the same time.
27:47In this case, you can try placing the second bowl on top of a cup.
27:51This will give you a free space for the second bowl.
27:54Creative solutions for small microwaves.
27:57Now, better to secure the cup first, though.
28:00Cleaning the splashed food will take more time than using this method.
28:04To save space, you should roll your clothes instead of folding them when packing.
28:08They don't get creased when you roll them.
28:11Plus, they take less space this way.
28:13Okay, we might as well continue with another packing trick.
28:16After rolling your clothes, pack them in your suitcase vertically, not horizontally.
28:22Your clothes will fit better into the bag, and you'll have more room for other essential stuff.
28:28Drinking iced coffee is a great way to cool your body on a summer day.
28:32Sadly, the ice cubes start to dilute the coffee pretty soon, changing the taste of the drink.
28:37To avoid this, you can freeze some coffee into ice cubes beforehand.
28:42This way, your iced coffee won't get watered down.
28:46It turns out that taking a shower too often isn't good for your hair.
28:51Experts say you should wash your hair two to three times a week,
28:54because overwash can result in extra oil in your hair.
28:59Do you know there's a correct way to fit salami on a toast properly?
29:02Yeah, there's a geometry problem.
29:05Toast bread is square, but salami is mostly round.
29:09You can, of course, do it in a traditional way, by putting two slices next to each other.
29:14But then the edges of your sandwich won't have any filling.
29:17All you need to do is to cut the slices in half.
29:21Next, you line the straight pieces with the sides of the toast.
29:24You get four slices covering the entire piece of bread.
29:28Most people peel bananas starting from the top.
29:31But this way, you squeeze the fruit.
29:34The best way to peel a banana is to start from the bottom.
29:37Hey, take a closer look at monkeys.
29:39Apparently, they figured this out a long time ago.
29:43Do you want to have more space in the closet where you store your cleaning supplies?
29:47Then this one is for you.
29:49You can hang spray bottles on a clothing rod.
29:52It's convenient.
29:53You can find those rods online or in stores.
29:56This way, you'll keep your cleaning sprays organized.
29:59Also, this method leaves more cupboard space for other cleaning supplies.
30:04There's a right way to hold a burger.
30:07Grab it with both hands.
30:09Now, place your little fingers at the bottom next to your thumb for extra support.
30:14You want to cross out miswritten words?
30:16You can draw a line on top of them, but in most cases, you can still read the words.
30:22Instead of scribbling some lines, just write a bunch of random letters on the top of the word you want
30:27to cross out.
30:28Problem solved.
30:30What is the best way to cut crusty bread?
30:32By turning the loaf upside down.
30:35The underside of the bread is usually softer than the top.
30:38But try not to squeeze the bread too much.
30:41The traditional way to drain pasta is to place the colander in the sink.
30:47After that, you drain the water and put your pasta back in the pan.
30:50But this method isn't the most effective.
30:53Sometimes, pasta gets into the holes of the colander.
30:56The second option is less difficult.
30:59Place the colander into the pot and, while holding them together, drain the water.
31:04This way, you don't have to move your pasta from the pot.
31:08This trick works best if your colander fits your pot.
31:11If you don't want to buy several colanders, you can still use this method.
31:15But you should be more careful during the draining process.
31:19Now, does your freezer ever spoil food?
31:22You put ready meals and groceries in the freezer.
31:24Two weeks later, you'll open it, only to find your food freezer burnt.
31:29There are two reasons for this.
31:31First, you stock your freezer with too much stuff.
31:35Overloading can block the vent.
31:36Then the air inside the freezer won't circulate properly.
31:40The second reason might be the wrong temperature.
31:43The recommended freezer temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit or a bit lower.
31:48Now, what's the best way to hold a steering wheel?
31:51Most people clutch it at 12 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 10 o'clock.
31:55This is not very safe, even if you have three arms.
31:58For those of us with just two arms, the proper way to grab the wheel is to put one hand
32:03at 3 o'clock and the other at 9 o'clock.
32:06It means placing your hands where the joints are, in case you need to give way to airbags.
32:12Holding the wheel differently prevents them from fully inflating.
32:16Toblerone is a fancy chocolate bar.
32:18But did you know there's a correct technique to break off pieces of this chocolate?
32:23Mm-hmm.
32:24Just push the triangle you want to separate toward the rest of the bar.
32:28Who would have thought?
32:29Pringles are another hard-to-eat but delicious thing.
32:33While trying to dig a piece out of the can, don't shove your whole hand in there.
32:37Instead, use a sheet of paper.
32:40Fold it link-wise and slide it into the can.
32:43Then gently pull it out, together with Pringles.
32:46Now you have a tray of crispy goodness.
32:48I'll need to go into next section section.
32:48So, let me see everyone again in the comments.
32:48And me there gave me ears to share aspirations on my
