Tedious I can see, but not wasteful. If you have leftover whites, put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. If you need more whites than yolks you can pull out the frozen whites, or if you don't have any, you can buy cartons of pasteurized whites.

Rather than a traditional egg separator, that isn't good for much besides separating eggs, use a slotted spoon. It works just as well, and you probably already have one.

The concept of a slot block on the inside of a door is a good one, but I don't like this construction at all. Because all the pieces are glued together, if any kind of grit or grim gets down in the slots, it will sit up against your knives with almost no way of cleaning it or even knowing it's there. It's the reason…

No, but that mostly comes down to the application process for aircraft engineers. Most the companies handle all of their resume submissions through their website, many making you pull apart your resume and submit it in their forms, rather than a preformatted file. A few allow you to attach a cover letter, but that's…

I've forgone pot holders and traditional oven mitts and bought myself a pair of leather welding gloves. Much more dexterity and if it can keep my hands safe from molten metal, it can keep them safe while retrieving cookies.

For me it's a lot of small tweaks that just make my phone more useful, mostly shortcut and convenience type things. The biggest though is a browser switcher that lets me change my default browser to Chrome. I don't understand why Apple won't allow the change, or why the DOJ hasn't come down on them for doing what…

"until it's smoking"? Please tell me that you don't do this in a non-stick pan. Over heating Teflon coated pans by heating them empty can release toxic fumes, that can not only make humans not feel well, but they can kill many pet birds. It's the same reason you don't want to put non-stick into the oven.

Contract engineering: very high pay with time-and-a-half overtime, but few to no benefits, and near zero job security. (Still worth it though)

The problem I have with this method is that, if this is the only way you learn to multiply, then all you really have is a trick to get an answer, not an actual knowledge of how to multiply. It certainly won't help you if you don't have pen and paper handy, and need to multiply something in your head.
