00:00Now, statistically, 30,000 flights are delayed every single day.
00:06And while a flight delay may give you benefits, such as a free coupon for a sandwich and Coke,
00:12it can also make you lose your connecting flight, train, or a Taylor Swift concert,
00:17if that's what you were after when boarding a plane.
00:20Is there a way to avoid flight delays?
00:22Well, while they might seem like a total gamble,
00:25there are some tricks to boost your odds of getting to your destination without a hitch.
00:30According to weather expert Chris Bianchi,
00:33it's best to steer clear of booking flights on summer evenings.
00:37Seriously, just don't do it.
00:39Late afternoon and evening flights during the summer months in the US
00:42are notorious for delays due to typical weather chaos.
00:47Why is that, you ask?
00:48Well, it all comes down to thunderstorm ingredients.
00:51It's moisture, unstable air, and a way for that air to start moving.
00:55In the summer, the sun heats everything up and makes the atmosphere unstable.
01:00The warm air near the ground rises, cools down as it goes up, and presto!
01:05You get clouds that may just decide to throw a thunderstorm party.
01:10Unfortunately, the guest list includes your flight delay.
01:16Conversely, you can choose the best time to fly.
01:18There's no guarantee your flight won't be delayed,
01:21but you can snatch the best price at least.
01:24So if you book a flight for midweek, let's say Wednesday,
01:28it'll probably help you save up to 17% of the initial price.
01:32That's around $56 if we speak of domestic flights,
01:36not to mention transatlantic ones.
01:38But it's not just about the day you book.
01:41Timing is crucial.
01:43Catch flights early or late.
01:45Think 4 a.m. and red eyes for better deals and fewer crowds.
01:49Avoid flying from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
01:52and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. if you can.
01:55Long story short, the best days to fly are Tuesday and Wednesday,
01:59and the worst day is Sunday.
02:01And don't forget the summer season.
02:03If you want to have a decent price for your vacay destination,
02:07make sure to book that well beforehand.
02:09So, you managed to secure the best prices for your tickets.
02:15Is there anything important you should know about your luggage?
02:19Yep.
02:19Once you arrive at your accommodation,
02:21you should immediately toss your suitcase into the bathtub.
02:25Well, it might sound a bit weird.
02:27It's actually pretty smart.
02:28And the biggest reason for that is bed bugs.
02:31Those creepy little pests love to hide in beds,
02:34couches, and even your clothes.
02:36And they're all about munching on human blood.
02:39If they're hanging out in your hotel room,
02:42they'd gladly hitch a ride back home with you in your luggage.
02:45So, you should avoid putting your bags on soft surfaces or the bed
02:49when you first get to your room.
02:51Bed bugs usually chill out on mattresses, box springs, and in furniture cracks.
02:56If there's no bathtub in your room,
02:58just keep your suitcase in the bathroom,
03:00as they're way less to have these little bloodsuckers.
03:03You can leave your luggage there while you give your room a good lookover
03:06for any unwanted guests,
03:08or just keep it in the bathroom for your entire stay.
03:14Another weird thing you should totally do in a hotel
03:16is stashing a towel by your hotel room door.
03:20You see, wrapping a small towel around your door's safety latch
03:23can really add to your peace of mind.
03:26Just pop the towel around the latch and lock it up.
03:29This tiny step makes it a lot harder for anyone to get in unexpectedly.
03:34And to make it easier to remember,
03:35just keep that towel right by your door
03:37so you can use it every time you head back to your room.
03:43If you ever wanted to know what happens to your baggage
03:46when you're on board a plane,
03:47the short answer is…
03:49nobody knows.
03:50Not even the staff.
03:52Baggage is sorted automatically.
03:54Scanners scan the barcode
03:55and sort the baggage according to its destination.
03:59The three main tasks of airport baggage handlers
04:01are to move your bags from the check-in area to the gate,
04:05to move them from one gate to another
04:06when you have a connecting flight,
04:08and to move your bags from the plane to the baggage claim area.
04:12So, if your baggage doesn't move fast enough,
04:14it can be late for your connecting flight.
04:17Or the exact opposite.
04:19Your bag can get to your destination before you do,
04:21because you're stuck at passport control.
04:23Now, some people also claim
04:26that you might experience some problems
04:28if you forget to tear off old stickers
04:30showing a different destination.
04:32There's an opinion that, in this case,
04:34the scanner might send your baggage to the wrong country.
04:37Oops.
04:41So, you arrive at the airport
04:43eagerly anticipating a well-deserved break from work,
04:46park your car in the lot,
04:47and discover the steep fees for leaving it there.
04:50Why is it so expensive?
04:52Airport parking facilities operate like any other business.
04:56The expenses involved include the cost of the land,
04:59the construction of the parking area,
05:01and ongoing maintenance,
05:03all of which can add up significantly.
05:05Ultimately, someone has to cover all these costs.
05:09Furthermore, the convenience of parking close to the airport
05:11contributes to the higher prices.
05:14If you're not willing to spend extra for this added convenience,
05:18consider taking a taxi instead.
05:20By the way, the world's most expensive airport parking
05:23will make you shell out around $500 a week.
05:27It's located in Doha, Qatar,
05:29and it's earned accolades for the top-notch quality provides.
05:32I mean, it's not surprising for this money.
05:34So, you may find it a bit weird that the flight crew is all about where your window shades are.
05:43But there's a good reason.
05:44They want to help everyone get used to the natural light outside.
05:48Plus, it's super important for a smooth boarding and deplaning experience.
05:52In case things go sideways during an emergency,
05:55you definitely won't want to be blinded when trying to get out of the plane.
05:59Also, keeping the window shades up during takeoff and landing
06:03lets the ground crew keep an eye on what's happening inside the cabin.
06:07If something goes wrong, like a fire,
06:09they can spot it right away and jump into action.
06:12If the shades are closed, they might miss crucial signs,
06:15which can slow down their response when every second counts.
06:19When you're going through security,
06:23put your stuff on the conveyor belt in an order that will make it easy to repack later.
06:28Start with your backpack, so that you can toss things right in as they come out.
06:33If you have a laptop or any pricey gadgets,
06:35stick them in the middle or in the second tray to keep them safe.
06:39Basically, you need to put your valuable stuff between your personal items in the first tray,
06:43and your carry-on should be the last to go.
06:46This will keep your electronics from getting mixed up with other people's stuff.
06:53When it comes to packing,
06:55you should totally think about just going with a carry-on for a change.
06:59The freedom you get is amazing.
07:01And even if you decide to check a bag,
07:03definitely bring a carry-on with you.
07:06Pack a whole outfit in there.
07:08While stolen or lost baggage isn't really common,
07:11only 3% of luggage doesn't make it to the destination.
07:14Baggage delays happen all the time.
07:17So, having a backup outfit will save you from looking like a hot mess
07:21while you wait for your stuff to show up.
07:25We all love snagging those emergency exit rows for some extra legroom.
07:30But let's chat about which seats you might want to steer clear of.
07:34First off, avoid the seats directly in front of the emergency exits.
07:38They usually don't decline.
07:39And if you're eyeing those seats in the very back,
07:43keep in mind they don't recline either.
07:45But hey, there are some perks to sitting in the back.
07:48You'll be super close to the bathroom,
07:50and there's a good chance you might get a whole row to yourself,
07:53since most folks usually skip the last row.
07:56Oh, and if you're looking for tips on seat choices for different planes,
08:00there are plenty of websites that can help you find the best spots
08:04and warn you about the ones to avoid, like those without windows.
08:08So there!
08:12That's it for today.
08:13So hey, if you pacified your curiosity,
08:16then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
08:18Or if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
08:23Hey, I hate to break it to you, but if you got pickpocketed,
08:26the chances are you probably let them steal your hard-earned money.
08:30Well, enough with brutal honesty.
08:33Now on to the ultimate tips to prevent it from happening.
08:36Scammers can be quite clever,
08:38and they may use tactics that will lead you to willingly part with your money.
08:42Before heading out, I strongly suggest researching common scam techniques.
08:47For instance, in Paris, there's a prevalent scam involving people
08:51who offer to help tourists in buying metro tickets.
08:54Here's how the fraud typically unfolds.
08:56After a long flight, you take a train to central Paris,
09:00and arrive at the metro station, ready to buy tickets.
09:03As you approach the ticket machine,
09:05someone in regular clothing may approach you, claiming to be able to help.
09:09However, these people are not friendly locals, but scammers.
09:13Instead of purchasing the Carnet,
09:15a book of 10 metro tickets is promised,
09:18they might only buy a child's single fare
09:20and keep the extra money for themselves.
09:22The best way to protect yourself from this swindle
09:25is to politely refuse any offers of assistance.
09:28Always buy your metro tickets directly from legitimate machines,
09:32which have multiple language options, including English,
09:35or through an official kiosk or ticket counter.
09:37Now, let's imagine your belongings have been stolen.
09:42It's the worst-case scenario.
09:43But it can happen at any moment, even when you're in a public restroom,
09:47and there isn't enough space for your luggage in the cubicle.
09:50The big question is, what are the two things you absolutely cannot travel without?
09:55That's right, your passport and your wallet.
09:58So make sure these essentials are always with you, no matter the situation.
10:02There are special bags designed for running that are made from thinner fabric.
10:06But if you want to avoid spending money on one, I completely understand.
10:11You can simply wear clothing that has enough internal pockets to keep these items secure,
10:16because external pockets can be risky.
10:18Alternatively, you can opt for a pouch that you can keep in front of you.
10:23Also, this small hook can profoundly change your life.
10:27It connects zippers in such a way that makes them difficult to open,
10:30not just for potential thieves, but for you as well.
10:34You can find one online and place an order, but alternatively, you can use anything similar.
10:39The key idea is to keep the two zippers together.
10:42Even a simple keychain will suffice.
10:46There's a vast range of travel-related goods available on internet platforms.
10:50But trust me, you can create most of them yourself.
10:54Take these socks with pockets, for example.
10:56They look cool, but you don't need a zipper on your sock to hide something.
11:00You can simply wear two socks, one shorter and the other taller.
11:05Hide your valuables in between them, then roll the taller sock down to seal the gap,
11:10preventing your belongings from falling out.
11:13The next tip is to research your destination beforehand.
11:17Not only should you consider safety concerns, but it's also important to familiarize yourself with local laws.
11:23Additionally, be sure to check health advisories.
11:27You may need vaccinations before traveling to certain exotic locations.
11:32Now, be careful not to get tricked by those pack-your-luggage-with-me bloggers.
11:37It could lead to serious trouble.
11:39The TSA is no joke.
11:41They must remain vigilant and thorough with anything that appears suspicious.
11:45After all, it's our safety.
11:47If you follow the questionable advice you find online, such as wrap your valuables in a diaper to protect them,
11:54you may end up with your belongings held for investigation and inspection, and you could face questioning by others.
12:01Never check anything you're not prepared to say goodbye to.
12:05For every thousand bags, seven get lost.
12:08While some bags do get returned, you never know when that might happen.
12:12I once had my bag lost returning from a European trip, and it wasn't found until a month later.
12:18Needless to say, all the precious cheese I bought in Italy was no longer safe to consume.
12:25You may have seen a bazillion videos on how to turn your hotel room into a fortress.
12:29There are portable locks, underdoor safety systems, special hooks, and I'm sure I forgot something.
12:36I know safety comes first, but sometimes, when you travel with carry-on only,
12:40there just isn't enough room to pack all those extra items.
12:43However, you can utilize something your hotel provides – a towel.
12:48By tightly rolling a towel and placing it under the door, you can create a barrier.
12:53While it's not perfect protection, it can make any under-the-door intrusion much harder should it occur.
13:00Whenever you travel, always make sure to keep a crayon in your wallet.
13:05They're always ready to write, and they don't need sharpening and won't run out of ink.
13:09Unlike pencils, which can break and become unstable, or pens that might burst in changing air pressure,
13:15crayons remain reliable.
13:17Keeping a crayon in your wallet has two main benefits.
13:20First, it's accessible whenever you have your wallet, providing a handy writing tool at all times.
13:26Second, its sturdy design helps protect your cards from bending or breaking.
13:30Ensure they remain intact while you travel.
13:32Plus, a crayon is the ideal size for most wallets, unlike longer pencils or pens.
13:39Now, when traveling, we often rely on our smartphones for various needs.
13:44It's wise to consider bringing two phones instead of just one, particularly if you're heading abroad.
13:50This isn't just for communication.
13:52It's a precaution against theft.
13:54In the unfortunate event of a mugging, having two wallets and two phones can be a lifesaver,
13:59as thieves typically won't expect it.
14:02Also, keep your real wallet in your front pocket and a decoy wallet in your back pocket.
14:07Similarly, carry two phones, placing your primary one in the front pocket and the second one in the back pocket.
14:14This way, when confronted and asked for a phone and wallet, you can hand over the decoy instead of your valuable belongings.
14:22Attracting the attention of a thief is not just about wearing flashy accessories.
14:27As surprising as it may sound, simply looking good and attractive can draw unwanted attention, especially for women.
14:34Thieves may have a skewed perception that an attractive person wearing nice clothes equals money.
14:39To minimize the risk, it's wise not to overdress while traveling.
14:44There's an added benefit to this approach.
14:47By only bringing the simple items you wouldn't mind saying goodbye to,
14:50you can create extra space in your luggage for souvenirs and local produce.
14:55You can even leave behind old clothes in a recycling bin at your destination,
14:59freeing up room for new treasures without incurring hefty airport fees on your way home.
15:07Believe it or not, duct tape is one clever trick that can help you deter thieves.
15:11Even if you have a perfectly nice phone, laptop case, or backpack, making them look a bit shabby can be beneficial when traveling to dangerous destinations.
15:21Thieves typically target brand new or high-condition items that are easy to resell,
15:26and they're less interested in items that seem like they require more effort to sell.
15:31By the way, it's not just duct tape.
15:33Anything that makes your belongings look older or less appealing will work.
15:37Use dirty and worn phone cases or unattractive bags to conceal your valuables.
15:42Remember, you're on vacation, not at a fashion week.
15:46Hey, I've got a quick question for you.
15:49Do you know which spot is the most dangerous for pickpocketing?
15:53It's the Trevi Fountain, where many thefts occur.
15:56It's not a surprise, it's always crowded, making it easy for pickpockets to operate.
16:00While this fountain is located in Rome, the Italian capital isn't as notorious as Barcelona,
16:06which is said to be the hottest pickpocket city on the globe.
16:10So, wherever you stop for a coffee in a nice bar in Barcelona, or actually anywhere in the world,
16:16your bags may become an enticing target for thieves.
16:20It's important to take precautions to keep your belongings secure until you're ready to leave.
16:25One effective strategy is to attach your bag to a sturdy object nearby.
16:29For instance, you might loop a strap around a chair leg, keep the bag on your lap,
16:34or place it between you and a friend.
16:36If a thief attempts to snatch your bag, these methods will make it more difficult for them,
16:41often leading them to abandon their attempt or get caught in the act.
16:45So, hey, be careful and have a good time!
16:48That's it for today.
16:49So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
16:54Or, if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side!
16:59Different cultures have unique ways of counting.
17:02For instance, in some parts of the world, people typically begin counting with their thumb and end with their pinky.
17:08In contrast, others start with their index finger and end with their thumb.
17:12Some people begin with their pinky and sometimes they can even start by extending their fingers in an open palm
17:19before drawing them in to form a closed fist.
17:22Alright, now let's take a little test counting from 1 to 5.
17:26You're going to show me the numbers with your fingers and I'll tell you what culture your gestures belong to.
17:31Let's go!
17:33Show me 1.
17:34If you show it with your index finger, you're probably either from the US or from China
17:45because this gesture is typical in these countries.
17:48If you show 1 with your thumb, hey, what part of Europe are you from?
17:52In many European countries such as Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the UK,
17:58people use their thumbs to show 1.
18:01Hey, and what about number 2?
18:03If your number looks like V and you use your index and middle finger for that,
18:13you probably belong to the American or Chinese culture.
18:17If you use your index finger and a thumb, you're likely European.
18:23Number 3 is shown differently in various cultures too.
18:26While people in China and the US use ring, middle and index fingers to do that,
18:31people in Europe use their thumbs, index and middle fingers.
18:35For number 4, there are not so many options.
18:38People in different parts of the world use all fingers except for the thumb to show the number 4.
18:43Same with number 5.
18:44We just show all the fingers we have.
18:47But there's a unique place in the world where everything's a bit upside down.
18:52Nope, I'm not talking about Australia.
18:53When it comes to hand gestures, it's Japan that leaves us mind-boggled.
18:59You see, while most people usually show their fingers to manifest a certain number,
19:04the Japanese do the opposite thing.
19:06The number they manifest is the number of fingers they bend.
19:10Look at this gesture.
19:12The only finger bent here is the thumb, and it might be like 4 to you.
19:16For the Japanese, it's 1.
19:19And here you can see that a thumb and an index finger are bent, which means it's 2.
19:24Then you add a middle finger bent to show 3, a bent ring finger to show 4,
19:29and to show 5, all you need to do is to show your fist.
19:32Crazy!
19:34But it's not over.
19:36In India, people use the lines between finger segments to count,
19:40with each digit representing 4 numbers and the whole hand representing 20.
19:45In some Bantu-speaking regions of Eastern Africa, such as Tanzania,
19:50people use both hands symmetrically to count as much as possible.
19:54For example, they use the index, middle, and ring fingers of both hands to represent 6.
20:00Additionally, the northern Pame people of Mexico count on their knuckles,
20:04while the now-extinct Yuki language in California use the spaces between the fingers for counting.
20:11Knowing how to count in different cultures is cool,
20:15but remember that at any time you visit a new country, you must be super cautious about your gestures.
20:21Something that may seem sweet and innocent in your culture may be terribly insulting in another culture.
20:27Like, is there anything bad about thumbs up?
20:30Turns out, it might mean a pretty nasty thing in Iran.
20:33Yeah, if you show thumbs up as a sign of appreciation there, you risk being misunderstood.
20:39However, most people will surely understand that you're just a tourist trying to be nice,
20:44so they won't hold a grudge against you.
20:47Pointing something with your index finger isn't really a sign of good manners,
20:51but in Malaysia, it's especially rude.
20:53So if you want to show something with your finger there, use your thumb,
20:57preferably the right thumb, to play it safe.
21:00Be super careful when you want to ask someone to come up to you in Asia,
21:04especially in the Philippines.
21:07An innocent gesture like,
21:08come here, can be misinterpreted in Asia
21:10and even lead to an arrest if used to beckon someone in the Philippines.
21:14So you'd better use these gestures there for dogs only.
21:17Even looking at your watch may be easily misinterpreted
21:22depending on the country which you do that in.
21:25While it's okay to do that in Europe or the US,
21:28however some people might still get offended,
21:30it's a big no in the Middle East.
21:33A conversation there must have its natural course,
21:36and you can't just abruptly end it in the middle if you're running out of time.
21:41Another innocent gesture that has the dark side is the okay sign.
21:45In English-speaking countries,
21:47people interpret it positively,
21:49but if you do that in Latin America or France,
21:51it will be extremely rude.
21:54People in New Zealand use this sign to indicate that someone is lazy,
21:58and in Australia, the okay sign means zero.
22:01Well, I'm not surprised.
22:04Even basic communication,
22:06like nodding for yes and shaking your head for no,
22:09can be reversed in certain regions,
22:11in countries like Albania and Bulgaria.
22:15Gestures can mean separate things,
22:17notions,
22:17and reactions,
22:18but they make an important part of languages too.
22:21I'm speaking Italian.
22:23Sure thing there are more than enough words in this beautiful language to express whatever you want,
22:29but you can spice it up with some gestures.
22:31I mean, there are even emojis of Italian origin, like this one.
22:35By the way, do you know what it means?
22:37Seems like it gets misinterpreted on social media.
22:40Well, the pinched fingers mean,
22:42what do you want?
22:43Some extra meaning got added later,
22:45and today,
22:46people use it on social media to discuss anything Italian,
22:49or they can show that they're impressed by something by using this emoji too.
22:53In Italian,
22:55if you bring together the index finger of both hands and then tap them together,
22:59it means that you're talking about two people or even two things that get along.
23:04This one's pretty convenient, huh?
23:06Instead of saying you two are getting along,
23:08you can simply tap your fingers together.
23:10Also, the Italian gesture can help you substitute not only your emotions,
23:15but even nouns.
23:17Look here.
23:18This sign means money.
23:20Yeah, you can learn the Italian word soldi,
23:22which is money,
23:23but you can rub your thumb and index finger and middle finger together
23:27and get the very same meaning.
23:30So, as you can see,
23:32gesturing can be pretty cool and help season your basic conversation.
23:35However, actions speak louder than words.
23:38Do you see what I'm driving at?
23:40Well, that gesture seasoning actually is something more important than what you say.
23:45According to research,
23:46about 80 to 90% of the idea you want to convey lies in the nonverbal part of it.
23:52Here's why the so-called body language is so important.
23:56Despite many cultural differences,
23:59facial expressions such as anger,
24:01happiness,
24:01sadness,
24:02disgust,
24:03surprise,
24:03and fear are universal throughout the world.
24:06However,
24:07nonverbal behaviors like eye contact
24:09can vary greatly between cultures.
24:12In the United States,
24:14eye contact is seen as respectful,
24:16but in some Middle Eastern and Asian cultures,
24:18it's avoided to prevent inappropriate romantic interest or social discomfort.
24:23So, to understand people better,
24:26we need both to listen to them and to read their body language.
24:30There's even such a thing as EQ.
24:33Do not mix it up with IQ.
24:35EQ is emotional intelligence,
24:37and it's linked to the ability to read other people's body language and express yourself better.
24:42Some scientists claim that gestures can help increase the value of our message by 60%.
24:48So, in case you're having a hard time trying to manifest something,
24:52you gotta try to introduce more gestures to your speaking routine.
24:56There was an experiment evaluating TED Talkers.
24:59The least popular ones had 272 hand gestures during the 18-minute talk.
25:05Guess how many gestures the most popular speakers used?
25:08About 465.
25:10That's almost double.
25:11Yeah, it might seem that this number is super high,
25:14and those people didn't stop waving their hands.
25:16I mean, 18 minutes is 1,080 seconds,
25:20and it turns out that they made a gesture almost every 2 seconds.
25:24But it worked.
25:24That's it for today.
25:26So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity,
25:28then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
25:31Or if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
25:35Now, flying has long become routine for many people.
25:39But even frequent flyers sometimes don't know about things you should never do on a plane.
25:45No bare feet on a plane.
25:47It's one of the biggest no-nos of air travel.
25:49Even if we omit the topic of unpleasant odors.
25:53Phew!
25:53The airplane floor is extremely filthy.
25:57People with contagious foot problems might have been walking the aisles barefoot before you.
26:02There's likely to be a lot of dirt left after previous passengers.
26:06And don't even get me started on the floor in the laboratories.
26:09Ew!
26:10If your feet need some freedom,
26:12take off your shoes, but at least wear your socks.
26:15Or bring along a pair of light slippers.
26:17Keep in mind that the pressurized air in the passenger cabin is just as dry as it is in the Sahara Desert,
26:24with only about 20% humidity.
26:27That's why your skin may feel discomfort after a flight.
26:30Hmm.
26:30But wouldn't it make more sense to install several humidifiers that could add some moisture?
26:36But this extra load would cost airlines lots of money.
26:40Plus, the plane's airframe is mostly made of aluminum and other metals,
26:43and humid air could lead to corrosion.
26:45So, don't forget to bring a moisturizer and use it during the flight.
26:50Always secure your tray table as soon as the plane starts moving on the tarmac,
26:55and never lower it during the takeoff and landing.
26:58It's a security measure,
26:59which ensures that you and the other passengers will have a clear pathway in case of an emergency evacuation.
27:05Also, keep your seat in an upright position during takeoff and landing.
27:10First of all, a reclined seat can seriously slow down an emergency evacuation,
27:15since it will block a person sitting behind.
27:18What's more, the more backward you're leaning,
27:20the harder it is to get into the brace position during an emergency landing.
27:25Now, try to avoid snoozing during or right after takeoff and landing.
27:29For one thing, it's not the best thing for your health.
27:32The main problem is that the air pressure inside the cabin
27:35changes very quickly during these phases of the flight.
27:39This, in turn, affects the air pressure in your ears.
27:42It's important to be alert during this time to relax and open up your ears.
27:46For example, by yawning or swallowing frequency.
27:50Chewing gum works for me.
27:51If you're sleeping, you can't do this, which can lead to permanent damage.
27:56And, of course, there's a safety issue.
27:58Most accidents happen during takeoff and landing.
28:01If you're sleeping during these stages,
28:03you might not be alert and conscious enough if an emergency happens.
28:08Now, this next recommendation comes from the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency.
28:13According to them, you might want to skip on hot drinks on a plane.
28:17The water used to make tea or coffee doesn't come from bottles.
28:21It's regular tap water.
28:22And water tanks on airplanes are often old and full of bacteria.
28:26In 2004, there was a study which found that more than 12% of water samples contained harmful bacteria.
28:34But if you still decide to have a cup of hot beverage on a plane, never pour coffee or tea on your own.
28:40Flight attendants are trained to handle this task in crowded aisles of a moving airplane and won't accidentally burn you or other passengers.
28:49Now, it's probably better if you don't order Coke on a plane.
28:52The cabin pressure so low up in the air causes a lot of foam.
28:56For apparent reasons, flight attendants don't want to serve you a cup filled with froth.
29:01That's why they'll fill only half the cup, then wait for the bubbles to settle, and then finish pouring.
29:07That can take ages.
29:09Keep your air vent open.
29:11This way, you'll minimize the spread of germs.
29:13Planes have high-quality air filters.
29:16They'll catch up to 99% of all airborne germs.
29:19So you should be safe there.
29:21But make sure to wipe that tray table.
29:24With 8 times more bacteria than the toilet flush button, it's the dirtiest place on board.
29:30Another thing you should avoid is leaning your head on the window, if you have a window seat.
29:34You never know who occupied your seat before you.
29:37And, in any case, the glass is likely to be covered with germs.
29:42Say no to backless sandals and high heels on a flight.
29:46I do.
29:46There are very serious safety reasons for such a request.
29:49The first is that both these types of footwear make it very difficult to evacuate the aircraft fast.
29:56If you wear high heels, you will anyway have to leave them behind in case the crew is using emergency slides during an evacuation.
30:04The heels are very likely to damage the slide.
30:07So, off they go.
30:08Now, ask yourself.
30:10Do you really fancy running away from the airplane barefoot?
30:13I'll answer that for you.
30:15Nope.
30:16Instead, wear sturdy shoes with a solid sole.
30:18In this case, you won't find yourself standing on the hot tarmac or in the weeds without any footwear at all.
30:26Don't stuff heavy objects into overhead compartments.
30:29Your things may not stay inside during severe turbulence.
30:32And, while falling out, they will injure you and other passengers.
30:36Ow!
30:36That's why, if it feels difficult to lift something into the overhead compartment,
30:41better put it under the seat in front of you or elsewhere.
30:44Now, don't blame the pilots for the hard landing.
30:47When you experience it in bad weather, it might be intentional.
30:52If the runway is covered with water or snow,
30:54the plane has to touch down hard in order to break the water layer and prevent aquaplaning.
31:00Otherwise, the water can perform the role of a lubricant,
31:03and the plane won't be able to break or respond to any control.
31:06Deploying an emergency slide when there's no emergency is a bad, very bad idea.
31:12It can cause hour-long delays and cost airlines thousands of dollars to pack the undamaged slide back into its container.
31:20Why would someone do it?
31:21Apparently, some think it'll help them get off the plane faster.
31:25Well, they're an idiot.
31:26Don't be one yourself.
31:27Just keep in mind that it doesn't work this way.
31:30Don't ignore the instructions of the cabin crew to open window shades during takeoff and landing.
31:36This way, flight attendants can see what's happening outside, assess the situation, and act fast, organizing the evacuation.
31:44For example, if there's a fire outside one exit, they will redirect passengers toward another door.
31:49Avoid carrying spray deodorants or shaving cream in your carry-on baggage.
31:55Both these things tend to explode mid-flight and, therefore, aren't allowed to onboard the airplane.
32:00A much better idea is to choose stick deodorants.
32:04You also mustn't keep power banks in your checked luggage.
32:07And if you want to bring one onboard, its capacity shouldn't be more than 20,000 milliamps.
32:13Besides, you shouldn't use them during the flight since they might catch fire.
32:17In general, lithium batteries are safe to use.
32:20But since they're high-energy, they can catch fire if they're not treated with care, misused, or if there's a manufacturing fault.
32:28Such batteries have been the cause of quite a few fires on board airplanes, as well as during ground handling.
32:34Do not worry about airport scanners.
32:37They won't harm your health.
32:38Otherwise, airport employees wouldn't be able to stay near them without special clothing.
32:43Even when you're passing by a baggage scanner, the risk is minimal.
32:47And the last one.
32:49Don't act like a jerk on board.
32:51Behave yourself.
32:52I know you will.
32:53Also, never try to land a plane on your own.
32:56Nah, don't laugh.
32:57I'm not kidding.
32:58In movies, they often show us that something happens to the pilots and they can't land the plane.
33:04And that's when the main character, a very skillful person, starts their game.
33:08Unfortunately, it's close to impossible to do it in real life.
33:12Even if a person is a genius, is fond of computer simulators that match the real model of an aircraft 100%
33:18and is ready to follow all the instructions from the ground, they're likely to fail due to one simple aspect.
33:25Stress.
33:26It is true that there have been cases throughout history when amateurs landed smallish private planes
33:32after the incapacitation of a pilot.
33:34However, there has never been a case of a non-professional pilot landing a commercial passenger airplane.
33:41It's only in the movies.
33:44That's it for today.
33:45So hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
33:50Or if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
33:54You check into your hotel room, connect to Wi-Fi, jump on the bed, and post 15 photos of your new window view.
34:01When the initial surge of excitement is gone, you notice a suspicious blinking light on your big TV.
34:07Could it be that someone is watching you?
34:10Or have you just seen too many spy movies?
34:13Well, hidden cameras come in all shapes and sizes.
34:17Large ones are easy to spot, but the small ones can be really sneaky and inconspicuous.
34:22They can be hiding behind furniture, in decorations or vents, and anywhere else you'll have trouble noticing.
34:30There are even special cameras that can be hidden in everyday movable objects like alarm clocks, picture frames, vases, and lamps.
34:39Check to see if these objects are facing at a strange angle or if they're positioned to get the best view of your room or bathroom.
34:46The easiest way to spot a hidden cam is to look for the lens reflection, because all cameras come with lenses.
34:55Turn off the lights and slowly scan the room with a flashlight, laser pointer, or a special wireless spy cam detector.
35:03It comes with infrared scanning lights and one illuminating light.
35:07When you find a reflective red spot, you gotta turn on the flashlight to help check if there is a hidden camera.
35:13Definitely check the vents along with any other holes and gaps in the walls or ceiling.
35:19Some advanced detectors even show you what the camera is seeing, making it way easier to spot and disable.
35:26The detectors only work on cameras that are turned on and working normally though.
35:33Your mobile phone can also help you find some hidden threats.
35:37Turn on Bluetooth and walk around.
35:40See if any unknown devices pop up on the screen.
35:43Another idea is to install a network scanner app that shows all devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi network you're using at the hotel.
35:52When it's done scanning, study the list for devices called something like IP camera or cam.
36:00Plus, you can put your phone on selfie mode, turn off the light and close the curtains, and look around the room slowly while focusing on the screen.
36:08Keep an eye out for purple or white lights on the screen.
36:14You can play detective some more and call your friend or family member and start walking around your room.
36:19Secret cameras should emit a sort of radio frequency.
36:24It will most likely interfere with your phone call signal.
36:27If you start hearing any weird noises while you're on the phone in a certain area of your room, make sure to inspect it carefully.
36:35Check out the light switches, electrical outlets, lamps, and other objects you normally wouldn't pay attention to.
36:44If they look a bit crooked, have a hole, or seem misplaced, it could be a sign that someone tampered with them.
36:52Many spy devices need wires and whoever installed them had to hide those wires, often behind the vinyl baseboard.
36:59That's why the place where the floor and the wall meet is another area you should check.
37:05Ridges, bumps, or discoloration could be a sign there's a microphone hiding there.
37:11The same goes for spots on ceilings and walls, even if they're not larger than a coin.
37:17If you do find a hidden camera or something looking suspicious,
37:22don't shy away and let the hotel administration or your booking service know about it.
37:26Don't try to touch or move the device yourself.
37:30If the hotel denies everything, contact local law enforcement.
37:35After you've scanned the room for cameras, check out the mirrors.
37:40Someone could be watching you from the other side.
37:43First, see if the mirror is built into the wall or can be adjusted.
37:48If the mirror is semi-transparent, it will be built into the wall.
37:52You can do a simple test to check the mirror.
37:54Press your fingertip against the glass and push firmly enough to leave a fingerprint as you move your finger away.
38:03Study the fingerprint.
38:04If there's a small gap between the print and the mirror where the glass should be, then it's just a mirror.
38:11On a semi-transparent mirror, there will be no gap.
38:14Another way to check if your mirror is semi-transparent is simply to tap the glass.
38:21If someone is watching you from the other side, the mirror will make an empty sound.
38:26A double mirror needs a brighter light on the other side than on yours.
38:30Get close to it and cup your hands around your eyes.
38:34Do you see some light behind the mirror?
38:36If so, you might have an unwanted audience.
38:39Before you leave your room or go to bed, make sure every door is securely locked.
38:46By every door, I mean not only the entrance to the room, but also the door leading to the terrace, if you have one.
38:53You can bring a portable door lock with you for extra security if you're staying in.
38:58You could also start a little DIY project and wrap a belt or a bag strap around the arm that pushes the door shut.
39:07Buckle it up and wrap it around several times for an extra layer of protection.
39:13Another idea for when you're about to nap or go to sleep is to build a pyramid of stuff by the door.
39:19Glasses and mugs will do perfectly.
39:22If someone tries to get inside while you're sleeping, there'll be some serious noise.
39:26Intruders prefer to keep it low-key, so they're highly likely to give up on robbing you straight away.
39:34If you travel with some valuables and don't feel comfortable leaving them around the room, you could put them in the safe inside your room.
39:42But because those safes use passcodes instead of physical locks, someone from the hotel has to know the master code to unlock it, just in case.
39:51So, you can bring your own safe with you instead.
39:54You can find the ones looking like books on Amazon, for example.
39:58They're made of strong metal and textured paper.
40:01They come with a combination lock and have enough room to fit your passports, cash, and jewelry.
40:06In case you have to leave your laptop in the room and want to make sure no one plugs in a USB drive to steal your data, here's what you can do.
40:16Leave a bottle of water or some other item next to the USB port.
40:21Measure the distance.
40:23Let's say it's one thumb length away.
40:25For someone to plug in their device in the laptop, they need to move the bottle.
40:29You can take it one step further and drop a pen parallel to the laptop under a certain angle.
40:37You can measure the angle with your smartwatch or phone using the Compass app.
40:41Again, if someone moves it, you'll know.
40:45Even something as simple as a Please Do Not Disturb sign can help you figure out if someone entered your room while you were away.
40:54Make it look like you left in a rush and the sign accidentally stuck between the door and the door frame.
41:00If you come back and the sign is hanging freely, then someone must have ignored it and tried to disturb you.
41:06In that case, you can contact reception and ask to send someone to enter the room with you to keep you safe.
41:14If you care about the cleanliness of your room as much as you do about your belongings and your personal safety, this one's for you.
41:22Hotel housekeeping workers normally have up to 20 rooms to take care of on an 8-hour shift.
41:30It means they'll have no more than 30 minutes for your room.
41:34It gives them enough time to make the bed, clean the floors in the room and the bathroom, empty the trash bins, and dust all surfaces.
41:43But they rarely have the time to take care of smaller objects like light switches, door and drawer handles, and remotes.
41:50And yes, these are exactly the objects you'll be in contact with the most.
41:56They can actually have more germs than the toilet.
41:59So, if you want to be sure those germs won't land on your hands, bring enough antibacterial wipes to clean all those things before you touch them.
42:08That's it for today. So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
42:14Or if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
42:18Are the letters SSSS on your boarding pass a reason to worry?
42:24What's much more dangerous than turbulence?
42:27Should you really be the first to board the plane?
42:30You're about to figure it out.
42:31You might have noticed that most planes have blue seats.
42:38There's no mystery here.
42:40Airlines opt for this color because it's considered to have a calming effect.
42:45This color supposedly puts passengers at ease and helps even the most nervous flyers to relax.
42:51But there's also another, more practical reason.
42:54Stains, dirt, and scrapes are less visible on dark blue fabric.
42:59Never throw your boarding pass away in a public place.
43:04It contains tons of your sensitive information, including your name and frequent flyer number.
43:10This, in turn, may allow someone else to check your future bookings, change your seat, or even cancel your flights.
43:17So, the best way to deal with the boarding pass for a flight you've already boarded is to take it home and feed it through a paper shredder.
43:24By the way, if you ever see the letters SSSS or S on your boarding pass, get ready for additional security checks.
43:35Instead of these letters, there may be a checkerboard pattern.
43:38Anyway, if you have any of these marks, your carry-on luggage can also undergo a thorough inspection.
43:44Why might they choose you for secondary screening?
43:48Some of the criteria are making a one-way reservation or paying cash for your ticket.
43:53In some cases, the selection is absolutely random.
43:58Look, your gate is open and the boarding is started.
44:01Wait, where are you running?
44:03There's no need to hurry.
44:05The trick experienced globetrotters use is always board last.
44:09For one thing, you don't have to waste time standing in line.
44:13Then, there are fewer people on the jetway and in the aisle, and you spend less time on the plane.
44:18No one is going to take your seat anyway.
44:21There's one exception, though.
44:23If you have a bulky carry-on bag, it may make more sense not to board last.
44:28Otherwise, the chances are high that all the overhead bin space will be occupied by the time you reach your seat.
44:33And then, your bag may end up in another part of the plane, and you'll have to wait till the other passengers disembark before you get to your luggage.
44:42Duh!
44:43Before take-off and landing, flight attendants usually flip a small switch on the bathroom door.
44:49This prevents it from flying open when it's not supposed to.
44:52With the same ease, a flight attendant can open the door when someone is inside.
44:57Look, they only need to lift the lavatory sign and move the knob into the unlocked position.
45:04Pilots don't worry about turbulence.
45:06That's because they know that there is a thing way more dangerous than any turbulence.
45:11It's an updraft.
45:12In most cases, turbulence only drops you a couple of feet down,
45:16even though it might feel as if you're falling from the top of the Empire State Building.
45:21If the turbulence is strong enough for the pilots to ask flight attendants to sit down,
45:26the plane can go 10 to 20 feet down.
45:28The most extreme white-knuckle turbulence is super rare.
45:32But an updraft is a big air mass, part of a storm or some other weather phenomenon moving upwards.
45:40Pilots don't see updrafts on their radars at night,
45:43and when a plane hits one, it feels like driving over a huge speed bump at 500 miles per hour.
45:48An updraft is also extremely treacherous because it can push an aircraft upward to dangerous altitudes.
45:55Modern planes have a special system that detects other aircraft, mountains, and different solid objects in their path.
46:0610 miles away from another plane, and a voice in the cockpit starts chanting,
46:11Traffic! Traffic!
46:12Five miles closer, and the same voice begins to give pilots the directions.
46:19Airplanes can operate with one engine, even during takeoff and landing.
46:23Both engines failing simultaneously is almost unheard of.
46:27But even then, a plane wouldn't drop from the sky like a rock.
46:32Pilots would have up to 20 minutes to find a suitable place to land.
46:35The way the cabin is pressurized has a great effect on your taste buds.
46:41You lose up to 30% of your ability to taste sweet and salty things.
46:46In other words, it's not that airplane food isn't tasty, you just don't feel its flavor.
46:51That's also the main reason why airline catering companies add extra salt and spices to the dishes they cook.
46:59But you know what may help you?
47:01Noise-canceling earphones.
47:02For some reason, that probably has a scientific explanation.
47:06Cutting off all that noise around can help your taste buds.
47:11Each of those dings you hear during the flight has its own meaning.
47:15In most airlines, a Boeing soon after takeoff indicates that the landing gear is getting retracted.
47:21Three dings in a row means more urgency than just one.
47:25A high-low ringtone informs crew members that their colleague needs them in another part of the plane.
47:30Three low chimes means some serious turbulence ahead.
47:35Crew members are supposed to put away meal carts, take their seats, and fasten their seatbelts.
47:41If you're a nervous flyer, pick a seat in the middle of the cabin.
47:45Turbulence mostly affects the front and rear parts of the cabin.
47:48The middle section, which is over the wings, doesn't shake so much.
47:55Pilots and co-pilots eat different meals.
47:58The reason for this precaution is very simple.
48:01Imagine both pilots having the same dish and getting food poisoning.
48:04In this case, neither of them will be able to control the plane.
48:09If they still want to have the same dish and won't agree to have anything else, there's a safety net.
48:15Pilots don't have their meals at the same time.
48:18If one pilot ate the dish and still feels okay several hours later, the other pilot can brave their meal as well.
48:24What would you say when asked about the filthiest place on a plane?
48:30Nope, that's not the toilet seat.
48:31It's not even in the bathroom.
48:34Flight attendants warn that you should be particularly careful with headrests, seat pockets, tray tables, and seatbelts.
48:42Experiments have shown that one-third of all seatbelts have yeast and mold on them.
48:47Most tray tables are covered with bacteria.
48:49Seat pockets are extremely filthy too, but headrests are the dirtiest of them all.
48:56In most cases, flight attendants don't have enough time to change or disinfect them in between flights.
49:05If your captain announces they're finishing some paperwork, it means they're busy revising the flight itinerary
49:11or waiting for the ground staff to prepare the flight logbook.
49:15That's a journal that contains the official record of a journey.
49:19Some places, especially those flying long distances, have secret bedrooms for crew members to catch some shut-eye.
49:26These bedrooms, called crew rest compartments, are located either at the back of the plane or behind the cockpit.
49:34Such a compartment can have up to 10 comfortable beds where flight attendants can have a rest.
49:39Plane windows are made of super strong plexiglass that can easily cope with high speeds.
49:45And the window panes are shaped in a special way, so that the high pressure inside the cabin pushes them against the aircraft body.
49:53In other words, plane windows are very unlikely to get broken.
49:57Once upon a time, plane windows were square, but the pressure built up in the corners of such windows, making them ultimate weak spots.
50:07This means that each square window had four weak spots.
50:11This made them likely to crash under the enormous stress of high altitudes.
50:15Luckily, making airplane windows curved solved this problem once and forever.
50:22Such a shape distributes the pressure and reduces the likelihood of cracks or any other damage.
50:27Planes regularly get struck by lightning at least once a year or once per 1,000 hours of flight time.
50:35These days, it's totally safe.
50:36The electric charge simply runs through the aircraft's aluminum shell.
50:41It doesn't cause the plane any damage.
50:44But did you know that airplanes not only get hit by lightning, but they also trigger it?
50:51When an aircraft is flying through a cloud, the friction between its fuselage and the air creates static electricity.
50:59Sometimes, it can cause lightning.
51:02That's it for today.
51:03So hey, if you pacified your curiosity,
51:05then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
51:08Or if you want more, just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
51:12You heat a pack of popcorn in the microwave, and there are small unpopped grains left.
51:17You can get rid of them before you open the bag.
51:20See this little tiny hole at the top?
51:22Shake the pack over the plate, and all the grains will fall out of the hole.
51:27It's much better to peel off the stickers, not from the bottom to the top, but tear them off from the side.
51:33This way, the paper remains flat, and its low side doesn't bend.
51:39Peel the banana starting from the top.
51:41Then you will not have to squeeze the bottom of the fruit.
51:44The hole on the panhandle can be used not only to hang it on the wall.
51:48You can insert a spoon into this hole while cooking a soup.
51:52Cardboard containers with Chinese food can be opened so that four paper walls lie flat on the table.
51:59So, all you need to do is unfold the container.
52:02This way, you'll get a very realistic plate, and scorching food will cool down faster.
52:08An easy way to peel an orange is to cut off the top and end of the orange.
52:12Then, cut it in the center to the middle.
52:15Then, unroll the fruit.
52:16Almost all people misuse a travel pillow.
52:21Usually, the two ends of the U-shaped cushion are directed forward.
52:25The correct position is to turn the pillow on the other side.
52:28The arc should be under your chin, and the two ends should look back.
52:33Your neck will feel much more comfortable in this position, and you'll get a great nap.
52:37Your ceiling fan has two modes, for winter and summer.
52:41Remember, you need to find the switch on your fan.
52:44Switch up to start winter mode, or down for summer mode.
52:49In summer mode, the fan pushes the air down, and it sucks the air up in winter mode.
52:55According to the rules of etiquette, you must first let those who leave the room, building, elevator out, and only then can you enter.
53:03First, they come out, then you come in.
53:06If you're inside, then you come out first.
53:08First, this simple rule will help to avoid a collision.
53:12In restaurants and cafes, toothpicks are always on the table.
53:16Most people use them incorrectly when they pick their teeth immediately after eating.
53:21The correct and cultured way is to go into the restroom and carefully pull out all the food leftovers from your mouth.
53:28Here's the right way to tie a garbage bag without making this little hole on the top.
53:33Don't tie these thin straps together.
53:35Hold them up, make a knot, wrap them around the knot through the loop, and here you have a good tight seal.
53:42To properly dry your sneakers in the dryer, you need to tie the laces together.
53:47Then put the sneakers inside the dryer, but leave the laces' tips sticking out.
53:52Close the lid so that it clamps the shoelaces.
53:55Done!
53:55Wired headphones fit much better in your ear if you put them on in a way when the tips with the wire direct up.
54:04Then, the wire can be put around the auricle.
54:07So, your headphones will not fall out of the ear.
54:10A bobby pin should be attached with the wave side closer to the head.
54:14Then it will not fall out of your hair.
54:16Don't brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush using fast movements.
54:20The electronic toothbrush should pass smoothly through the teeth.
54:25You can tear a bag of sugar with one hand.
54:28Hold the bag above a mug.
54:30Just place it on your index and middle finger.
54:33Then, press your thumb into the middle of the bag.
54:36It will break the center, and sugar will easily pour out.
54:40When you pour juice or milk, keep the neck of the box at the top, above the glass.
54:46Then there will be less splashing.
54:47You wear sunglasses and enter the room.
54:51Where are you going to hide them?
54:53Do you leave it on your head, hang it in your shirt collar, or put it in your pocket?
54:57The best way is to put the glasses in the breast pocket so the lenses will be inside,
55:02and only one temple sticks out of the pocket.
55:05Your glasses will be safely inside, and the lenses will be protected from damage.
55:09When you flush the toilet, always cover it with a lid.
55:12Small, imperceptible particles of dirty water and germs splash when pressing the flush button
55:18while keeping the toilet lid open.
55:20You don't have to tear off the plastic sheeting from the dishwasher tablet and crumble it.
55:25Just put it in the tank and close it.
55:27The water will dissolve the sheeting.
55:29It doesn't work with all the brands out there, so check the instructions.
55:32The compartment under the stove is not properly used when you put only pans and pots inside.
55:38You can put dishes with food there.
55:40The heat from the oven will keep the food warm.
55:43This is useful when you're waiting for guests who are running late.
55:47Almost everyone has a plunger with a round rubber shape.
55:50In the movies, we have seen how many times it's used to eliminate a blockage in the toilet.
55:54In fact, this plunger is needed to eliminate a blockage in the sink.
55:59For the toilet, you need to use another special plunger.
56:03You're eating a taco, and all the food is falling out on the other side.
56:07Put another tortilla on a plate.
56:09All the fallen food will be on it, and thus, you have another small taco.
56:14Using a vegetable peeler, most people make only one forward movement to cut the peel.
56:19Then, they put the blade back and cut off the peel again.
56:22You can cut the peel in the opposite direction and move the peeler back and forth.
56:27It will be faster and more efficient.
56:30Don't tuck the belt from the bathrobe through the back.
56:32Pull it out and thread it in a loop on the side of your stomach.
56:36After that, tie the belt as you like.
56:39This way, the bathrobe will snuggle tighter to the body.
56:42Most of us use toilet paper seat covers incorrectly.
56:46The correct way is to put the paper so the round side, in the middle,
56:49looks into the back part of the toilet.
56:52Advertisements show us that we need to cover the entire surface of the brush with toothpaste.
56:58One small pea is enough to brush your teeth.
57:02Companies want you to use the paste fast and buy another one.
57:06That's why they show this wrong and uneconomical way.
57:11We've been applying deodorant wrong all this time.
57:14The most effective way to use deodorant is to apply it at night before you go to bed.
57:21The easiest way to peel garlic is to put it in the microwave.
57:25Cut off the upper part, then put the garlic in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
57:31Done!
57:31The skin easily tears off the garlic.
57:36Most people cut pizza from the middle to the edge.
57:39The filling always leaves the dough, and you have to make a lot of cuts.
57:44The correct and convenient way is to cut the pizza across, from one edge to the other.
57:50You only need two cuts to divide the pizza into four pieces, three cuts to divide by six, and so on.
58:00It turns out that it's not necessary to wrap the suitcase with protective plastic sheeting.
58:05You can just put a t-shirt on the bag.
58:09Make sure the handle sticks out of the collar.
58:12And don't forget to make a little cut for the side handle.
58:17The table attached to the seat in the plane can also be used as a hammock for your feet.
58:23Just tie a belt, a blanket, or a towel around the table and hang your legs.
58:28To move a needed letter or a word on your phone screen, it's not necessary to press your finger on the text area.
58:38Press the space button and hold it to control the slider.
58:41Works on all iPhones.
58:44The spotlight function on your Mac is designed not only for quick search of files and applications.
58:51You can use the search bar as a calculator.
58:54Just enter a mathematical example that you need to solve.
58:59Spotlight also uses internal dictionary data.
59:03Enter any word and get data from the dictionary about this word.
59:08If you're hungry and don't know what to order in a restaurant, there are special mobile apps to help you out.
59:14They show how the dish looks, its size, and weight.
