(1) Do not baste your chicken. Modern factory farmed chickens do not need
basting.
(2) Do not type = when you mean ==. Learn to use a symbolic debugger.
(3) An NP-completeness proof must always consist of four parts: a proof
that your problem is in NP, a description of a construction mapping
inputs from a known NP-complete problem to inputs of your problem, a
proof that if the original problem is a yes instance then your problem
is a yes instance, and a proof that if your problem is a yes instance
then the original probem was.
(4) When mixing juice from frozen concentrate, stir thoroughly BEFORE adding
water. Then stir again after adding just a bit of water, and then add
the rest of the water. Very little total stirring will be required.
(5) When riding through an intersection on your bicycle, you should stick to
the curb if you are going to turn right, ride just left of the leftmost
right-turn-only lane if you are going straight, and ride just right of
the rightmost left-turn-only lane if you are turning left. The lines
on the road are your lanes. Signalling is rarely useful.
(6) Never spit to windward in the Great Lakes fishing trade.

(7) When threading a needle, move the thread to the needle, not the
needle to the thread.
(8) When trying to move 6-12 inches of snow, do not try one of those tiny
snow burst things without any real snowthrowing ability.

(9) Don't try to eat dry pasta without boiling for 8-10 minutes,
depending on how mushy you like it.
re #1(5): I'd advise the cyclist turning left from a left-hand turn
lane to positions themselves in the middle of the lane. This prevents
motorists from trying to turn alongside them and possibly wandering
over and striking them while turning.

(10) Look both ways before crossing the street...even a one way
street (never know...you might get hit by a cyclist or by a
motorist going the wrong way).
(11) Use the hottest water you can possibly stand to wash your dishes;
they'll drip dry nicely.

(12) Keep your hand-vacuum all charged up so you don't have any
excuse not to clean right up after yourself.

know about it.

Re # (12): I keep my hand-vacuum unplugged, so that the batteries will
drain properly, before recharging. Leaving it plugged in diminishes
battery life.

(14) When going inside a terminal's CRT section, always make sure to
drain the capacitors in the High Voltage power supply first, to avoid

(17) When making brown bread or other quick bread calling for measured amounts
of both molasses and oil, measure the oil first, then use the same measure for
the molasses: The cleanup is easier after.
