Re: Great tip for run away zippers...

i love the run away zipper tip, but some of the others are a bit much

"I dry my ziplock bags on my kitchen window. I get about a dozen wears out of a ziplock bag by washing them and reusing. They’re a bugger to dry, however. But I have a trick: I smack them onto a window. They stick and dry, then drop off when ready to reuse."
i'm picturing my kitchen window with a bunch of ziploc bags attached to them. nice.
Who has time for that??
I get recycling if it was something that didn't make a mess (i.e i have a gallon ziploc that i have used for a few different type of bread products, but the second it gets dirty, it gets tossed)

I hypermill. “Adding to the excitement is when I draft behind semi-trailers or other large vehicles (within 2-3 meters is best) so as to enter the slip stream and be pulled along by the apparent vacuum behind the large moving mass. Again, this really helps with fuel efficiency. Finally, I also tend to turn the engine off when I approach long down hills. This gives the engine a chance to cool down nicely (particularly on hot days) and, again, reduces fuel consumption.”

Wait what about this one...

I pump my tires. My brother Simon horrified his partner Bron when he shared this via email: “Before a long distance car trip I pump the tires on the car to at least about 40psi. While making for a slightly precarious ride that feels like you might skid or be bumped off the road at any time, it does reduce rolling resistance that really improves fuel efficiency.”
