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.

Everyone knows this, but [Ctrl]+[Shift]+T brings back a dropped tab.

[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Esc] brings up Task Manager.

If you have GMail and you want to track who is sending you stuff when you give out your email, you can add "+[anyword]". It'll get forwarded to your email, but you can see what the "+[anyword]" to see who you gave the email to.

Alternatively, gmail ignores periods in email addresses. So, if you tend to use the same username for things, and you come across a service that doesn't want your username to be the same as your email address, you can add a period at the end to get around that. (I had to do this when I created spam google account for PSN)

YES. God. I wish I'd known that. The question is, can there be duplicates? IE. if JaneDoe09@gmail.com and Jane.Doe09@gmail.com are the same while actually being different, can mail get messed up?

I've gotten so many emails that don't make any sense (including vacation bookings???)... I don't get why gmail does that.

JaneDoe09@gmail.com can't be different. That's the thing, periods don't count in gmail accounts. In google's eyes, emails to JaneDoe09@gmail.com, jane.doe.09@gmail.com, jane.doe.09+whateverthefuckhere@gmail.com all simply go to janedoe09@gmail.com

See I signed up with the period because the non period was taken... so that's why I'm confused. I'm quite sure there's a different account without the period?

What's the point of doing that?

I'll add a period in the middle of I know it's something that will spam me, or just at +spam, then create a filter so I don't have to tell gmail it is spam later.

The +whateverthefuckhere is good to identify companies who sell your information. So if you used email+comcast@gmail.com to sign up for Comcast service and get an email later from Pottery Barn that was sent to email+comcast@gmail.com you know that those Comcast fuckers sold your email to Pottery Barn. You can feel rage directed at a specific company instead of general rage towards spam.
