Useful cleaning life hacks:
1. Prepare a simple but powerful baking soda paste, and you won’t have to deal with the tedious scrubbing of stuck dirt. The product is universal in its action, can be used to clean tiles, kitchen facades, countertops, hoods.

Grind 100 grams of soap base on a grater.
Pour the chips with hot boiled water, forming a semi-liquid mass.
Beat the composition to a foam, mixing (if desired) essential oil. Eucalyptus or lemon oil is perfect for disinfection, the calculation is 5 drops.
Add soda in parts in the amount of a quarter of a pack.
Pour in 4 more tablespoons of hot water, repeat the whipping.
Add the same amount of baking soda, and then water. The cleaning paste should have the consistency of thick sour cream.
If there is no soap base, mix baking soda 1:1 with liquid soap (ideal — household). The resulting slurry also cleanses difficult impurities well, affecting the application area for 10-15 minutes.

2. Tarnished wooden furniture in the kitchen can also be washed and refreshed with soda — in conjunction with sunflower oil, it is a powerful and at the same time delicate care product.

Everyone is vying to ask you where you will go, who you will study for, what plans you have for the future, and you are only 17 … You are a schoolboy who is still little familiar with the outside adult world, with life and prospects. You are rushing from side to side, from profession to profession and frantically trying to figure out where to go next. But the choice must be made somehow…

In today’s article, I want to share with graduates useful tips that at one time helped me decide on my profession and further path.

The first and, in my opinion, the most important advice is: listen to your heart.
What will it tell you?

Do you like to draw? Forward. Embody your ideas among designers and architects. Do you like dancing? Why not? The choreography department is waiting for you.

People with the talent of a comedian or a connoisseur of humor do not need any benefits. Those who are deprived of it will not be helped by the best teachers. Anyway, common sense tells us exactly that. But maybe we just don’t know something?

Both manuals and courses for people who want to improve their sense of humor (a skill useful in communication) and even learn how to come up with jokes themselves, of course, exist — as they say, demand generates supply. However, who in their sober mind and sound memory would believe that anyone who has attended courses or read books with the sonorous title “How to become a millionaire” and put their knowledge into practice will gain at least a particle of the ability of King Midas to turn everything he touches into gold?

— Darling, tell me, don’t these jeans make me fat?”Would you be offended if I told you the truth?”- no. — I’m sleeping with your sister.

— Defendant, what prompted you to rob a bank? — He started it first!

— Chukcha, do you know that your wife is walking? — Nothing, let him walk. She is warmly dressed!

And hardly anyone will object to the fact that nowadays the ability to defend one’s point of view in a dispute is a skill that increases a person’s social prestige, and often contributes to his career.

This is how the author himself formulates (in a short form, of course) his ten “Golden Rules” of conducting debates.

1. Be prepared. Know exactly what you want to achieve. Explore the facts that can convince your opponent.

Well, it’s hard to disagree with this. To look like a worthy opponent requires both preparation and the collection of facts that confirm the correctness of your position and refute the views of your opponent. Nevertheless, a real polemicist should be, as they say, “always ready” (of course, within reasonable limits) for disputes.

Firstly, debates often arise spontaneously, and you need to be prepared for this.
And secondly, even if they are planned in advance (such as a debate of candidates for deputies or a scientific symposium), the discussion can always take an unexpected turn and move away from the agreed topic.
As for the facts that can convince your opponent, then:

There are always not enough of them;
or there are too many of them, and all of them cannot be brought;
sometimes such facts simply do not exist, because human stubbornness and prejudice are a terrible force that nothing can shake (as in the popular song, “you are my word — I am those two”).
You ask what to do? Of course, improvise!

2. Know when to polemize and when to leave. Before starting an argument, think carefully about whether the time and place are right.

Unless, of course, you are chasing the latest innovations for one reason or another.

We will buy on the secondary market, since I see no point in spending three or four times more money if you can get it cheaper. In addition, some well-established laptop models that were 8-12 years ago are better than what is on sale now. That’s the paradox.

Next, there are tips, emotions, and a personal story on choosing and buying the laptop you need.

A new old laptop. How do I buy a great laptop with my hands?

Complaints about my Aseg netbook: the main working tool should be the best for me
Until the beginning of 2023, I continued to use a good 2012 Acer Aspire One netbook (756 is the latest model, then they were no longer produced). Naturally, he was no longer the one who came out of the factory. RAM was increased from 2 GB to 8 GB, and Windows 7 was irrevocably replaced by the popular Linux product Ubuntu, and then by Xubuntu.

But I still couldn’t put an internal SSD drive instead of HDD. It didn’t work correctly, apparently, no one just counted on it when they assembled it. I didn’t want to waste time on experiments anymore, so I stayed with the HDD. He worked quite smartly, but not instantly either. But the desire to try SSD remains somewhere, especially since all new computers are already coming with it. Somehow it hurt.
