[Half Second]

Thought it would be cool to have everyone impart some useful information they have come across over the years. This can be related to anything you want.

My first one is bodybuilding related: Anyone who uses Casein protein knows its propensity for clumping up and sticking to the sides. To avoid that problem, set your blender to its lowest possible setting and turn it on with just the water in it. Then pour your casein powder in. This will ensure all the protein gets blended, and will take about 5 seconds

There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. We are some 24000 light years away from the galactic center and the black hole there stopped growing a billion years ago, so you would think that we are reasonably safe. However, there is a second 'middle weight' black hole just a few thousand times the mass of the Sun. It is less that half a light year away from the central supermassive black hole and is being dragged into it.

Did you know that if you spray your snow shovel with WD40 before shoveling, no snow will stick to it..

WD40 stands for Water Displacment 40.. It took 40 times to get it right.. Hence the name..

HalfSecond started this thread with the intentions of getting useful information =) Nice post half second and Chris.

Ways to retain more information:
1. STUDY EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED or in the evening. - this has been researched that your brain draws connections between what you read and what you already knew. You will wake up and retain more guranteed.

2. Read the summary and review questions before you read the chapter.

3. Read the chapter before it is covered in class.

4. Ask a serious question in class.

5. Use different colored highlighters when reading.

6. Start a serious study group

7. Compete against YOURSELF to improve your grade from each previous test.

8. Make or buy flashcards

9. Pretend in your mind that you have to present what you are study in front of the class the next day.

10. Review multiple source of information as if you are doing a report. Different sources have better explanations and more details.
