A lot of entry level jobs let employees work overtime. Depending on what the hourly rate is, it could be easy to pull in double what you make. Especially if the turn over rate is high. With this, it's very possible for the youth to pay the overwhleming student debt that is plaguing college level students. They have no idea about overtime laws and regulations.

Please tell your kids this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your experience goes like mine, you're going to have a mess to clean up. It didn't work

Salary employees are not required to get overtime. Some companies offer it and some do not. For example, I had two competing job offers for when I graduate. Both were salaried positions, but only one offered OT, and only during certain circumstances.

me too. i'm thinking you'd need to run 2 screws for each lid top to keep the lid from spinning as you unscrew it.

The wooden spoon trick does work but only for water boiling. It won't prevent a rolling boil of a sauce to not spill over just water from not foaming out.

Definitely, three if you want to go for overkill.

I was just about to post this and you are 100% correct. I did this many years ago because my dad had his extra screws, nails etc arranged this way when I was a kid.

Was all excited when I had it all put together and arranged and then instant sad face the first time I tried to unscrew the jar. Yes, use two screws for sure.

My egg whites go directly into the blender for pisco sours. I really think this lifehack is only good in some instances.

On another note, not a life hack, but after seeing the water in the microwave with pizza I felt it was appropriate. Next time you are re-heating pizza, instead of using the microwave, put a little olive oil on a pan at medium and then put the pizza crust side down for a couple minutes and then flip and repeat. It tastes better than fresh pizza. No joke.

i'm not sure i understand. 'flip it' meaning turn it over so the cheese is on the bottom? you do this on a stove?

yeah. As long as its not too hot, the cheese and toppings stay on and then melt together. It blew my mind the first time I had it. Its freakin delicious.
