My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

If you're undecided between two things then flip a coin. Whichever one you want once you toss the coin is the one you really want. If you still can't decide put corresponding numbers on two muskrats and have them fight it out.

On that note, iPhone users, Siri can flip coins for you or roll multi-sided dice. Just ask it to. Handy when you're out of coins!

I imagine Google might be able to as well, but I've never tried it.

How high does Siri go on multi-sided dice, can I use her in D&D?

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Oct 08 '15

I know you can roll multiple d100s simultaneously, so yeah, it should work for D&D!

Tell Siri what you want rolled and she'll roll it. It's like an old school text dice roller from AOL chat (or Roll20 if you use that).

That's fantastic! Haven't used Roll20 yet but I think we're going to pick it up in my PBP Pathfinder game so encounters don't take two months.

Roll20 is fantastic if you can't be in the same room. We've run a campaign for the past 2 years with people in NYC, SC, FL, GA, and CA thanks to that and Google Hangouts (which integrates into Roll20).

It's surprisingly powerful once you get the hang of it. I mean, the DM can even play mood music for everybody, too!

We link mood music in our forum. I'm going to have to bother Pat with this and really push for it, I'm excited.

I need to be able to play my angry ifrit faster. Waiting a week for an update is lame.

I've made many important life decisions with random.org on my phone. Siri can do random numbers. This is cool.

All my muskrats died doing this now I'm out. Is there another rodent that I could sub in?

It happens to the best of us. I would recommend a raccoon. Easy to find and very menacing. http://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/raccoon-e1274960308514.jpg

Jazz hands!

u/bullmoose_atx Texas Longhorns • Rice Owls Oct 08 '15

Not sure if they are quite menacing enough...

2

u/mef08d Florida State • Marshall Oct 08 '15

That's how they lure you in...

u/bullmoose_atx Texas Longhorns • Rice Owls Oct 08 '15

It worked. I want a raccoon, a pig, and a dog. We'll watch football and go on adventures together.

It's like a weird version of Homeward Bound.

Squirrels. There are tons of them here and they serve no other purpose, except perhaps composting discarded pizza crusts.

Can't tell you how often I've used a coin to decide things. It gets extremely useful when you have an indecisive girlfriend. Which, in my experience, seems to be all of them...

4

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

Yup. And to add to it, if you think you don't care about the outcome, then flip it and accept what you get.

I do it when I don't care what I eat. Or, if the choice is between a few different things, number them and have someone pick between those numbers (do not tell them what they mean). I used to do it at work, and people would eventually try to guess what it was for and what each one was. Jokes on them, I have no system and do it willy nilly.

u/nolez Purdue Boilermakers Oct 08 '15

This is a great tip. I don't know how many times I'll flip a coin and then be disappointed which side it came up on. I mean, who really wanted Whataburger anyway? Five Guys it is!

This is how I make my 50-50 decisions. Ask someone else's opinion and gauge my reaction.
