ITT: We compile cliffs for everything a Man needs to know [MISC guide to manliness]

[Lailoken]

I think if we all contribute and/or help to refine the contributions, we can come up with something quite helpful for miscers...a compilation of no-nonsense information. MISCs guide to manliness, so to speak. Nothing to improve confidence like knowledge. Will be repping for good contributions.

Obviously if you are attempting to do any of these things there is a wealth of information already on the net, but I feel like putting it in cliffs form lets people realize how easy it is. Even if you have no plumbing experience, next time your sink clogs, my hope is that you will remember this post and decide to learn how to do it yourself rather than calling another man to fix it for you.

Eyebrow Grooming (no homo?)

Skinning/Cleaning game: (this works for just about everything with legs)
+Cut throat while still alive if possible, bleed out fully
+Shallow incision and then start pulling skin off, running knife edge between skin and muscle
+For birds, a quick dunk 2-3 times for 10s~ in hot water will make it easy to pull feathers out
+Cut open abdomen (don't cut into guts), reach in and pull out all guts
+Try not to break gall bladder (green sack) next to liver
+Cut slabs of muscle off and eat. If you let the meat cool for 24hrs in icewater/cold temperatures, enzymes soften it (better). Do this before freezing/storing.


Electric DIY/repair:
+Always use a voltmeter (5$ at hardware store) so you can be certain the line(s) you are going to work on are not live
+If a large section of house is off, check breakers

+If a breaker flips itself regularly, or is hot to the touch while power is on, it needs to be replaced. Either that or you are drawing too much power through that circuit! 20a breakers shouldn't handle more than 15a regularly. To find how many amps are running on a circuit, Watts divided by volts. 500w computer+500w of lightbulbs+1200w vacuum = 2200w, divided by 120 volts = 18 amps!
+Determine whether breaker is double pole (two smaller breakers next to each other with a "handle" connecting) or single pole, and what amperage. What company makes the breaker box? (e.g. Cutler Hammer) This is the info you need to get a new breaker from home depot
+Turn off MAIN power feed to the breaker box (Perhaps a large breaker at the top of the box, perhaps a breaker in the actual main breaker box elsewhere), unscrew and remove wires attached to old breaker
+Pop old breaker out and push new one in, reattach wires
+Turn main line power back on
+Bad lightswitch or outlet but the rest of the room is unaffected? Most likely just a loose wire. Turn off power to room and verify, then unscrew outlet/switch and examine for loose wires. Bend the end of a wire in a clockwise direction and seat it under the screw on the side/back of the outlet, then tighten screw.

Plumbing DIY/repair:
+Always remember to turn off the main water line, and drain it by turning on a faucet, before cutting into pipes
+A clogged drain that can't be fixed with a plunger can be fixed by removing the P-trap.

+Just put a bucket under it, most P traps don't even require tools to take off. Just unscrew by hand, use a stick to push junk out of P trap and then reattach.
+If you live in an older house, with copper plumbing, the copper will without fail eventually begin to get tiny pinprick holes in it from degradation. If you see a tiny stream of water leaking out of your copper pipes, this is what has happened.
+Can be solved with 30$ worth of tools rather than a 300$ plumber visit.
+Turn off water from main line, cut out section of leaky copper pipe with pipe cutters

+Measure and cut a replacement piece of new copper, making sure to include the distance your couplings take up.

+Sandpaper the surface of pipes and couplings wherever they will be resting against other copper
+Apply flux liberally (get plumbing flux and solder together in a kit, cheap)
+Attach new pipe and couplings where the old pipe was
+Make sure everything is clean and dry before soldering!
+Using a propane torch, heat up one coupling in the direction you want the solder to flow (up the new pipe, into the coupling)
+After 30s or so, try touching a piece of solder to the seam of the joint between coupling/pipe. It should "eat" the solder and pull it everywhere there was flux. Will be very obvious if it works, if not, wasn't hot enough.

Producing Your Own Food - Garden/Livestock

+++Chickens

+If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where having chickens is not prohibited, they are a great way to recycle kitchen scraps into usable protein (eggs+meat)
+If only roosters are prohibited, you can just use hens, although then you don't have a renewing supply of chickens.
+With just 10ftx10ft you can keep 10 chickens. Smell is minimal if you don't overcrowd them, undetectable outside of 10ft.
+Feed them any excess food/table scraps, provide clean water.
+Harvest a half dozen eggs per day consistently, if you have a rooster, allow them to nest occasionally for babies and then eat older chickens.

+++Growing Vegetables and Herbs

+Very easy thing to do, great way to save money and have access to fresh, nutrient rich produce
+Find out what grows well in your location
+If planting in ground, prepare your plot. The most important thing to do if soil is already of good quality is to aerate - just grab a shovel and a pick and go to town. At least one foot deep. Good core workout too.
+Add amendments to the soil if possible, or desired. For example -- how about some of the poop from your chicken coop? Or your neighbors stable sweepings? compost? etc.
+Water regularly, but ALWAYS ALLOW TO DRY. 90%+ of plants will do better if given the opportunity to have cycles of full wetness and then drying out a bit. Not enough for the plants to droop and wilt though.
+More sun is almost always better provided you water adequately, regardless of whether or not your seed pack says "full sun"
+When in doubt, KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid. Plants WANT to grow, don't over think it. Start small with one plant or seed pack at a time.

How to deal with women:

Ignore them, they're all full of ****.

[Lailoken]

How to Get Laid



+Women aren't complicated, our feelings and insecurities just get in the way and we forget what we are supposed to be doing.
+Women are not to be worshiped. Stop putting the pussy on a pedestal.
+Demand respect and reward them only for good behavior.
+Flowers and gifts should be used as a REWARD, not as an item to BUY her affections.
+When a woman treats you with disrespect, you punish her by withdrawing your affection and time
+Judge by actions, not by words. If she stands you up twice in a row, don't ask her out again regardless of what excuses she is telling you.

++On Hesitation
+He who hesitates, masturbates. Rejection is better than regret.
+You are hesitant because you are not used to things going your way. And things will never go your way because you remain hesitant. You see what you want, become hesitant, and the door of opportunity closes. It happens again. And again. And again. With each choice towards Inaction, you reject yourself a little bit more.
+When you find yourself hesitating, always yield to action. If you cannot even try, how can you manage to succeed?
+Childhood is over. You are the MAN. You must approach. Always default to Action now.

+TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
+You have evolved alongside females for millenia, no matter how forever alone you think you are, you do have the capability.
+When you get that urge to touch, hug, or kiss a woman...do it. Simple as can be but if you actually follow through with this you will change your life.

WHen you go camping always bring an extra 40 of liquor and tell no one about it. You will run out of beer and when you do, you will be the hero with the 40.

Dress the part...srs

these are good advice, will try to include somewhere. dressing the part especially...so important to convey confidence, and dressing/acting the part does that.

will rep even for good ideas for new topics. next I'm thinking general car maintenance/oil changes and etc. then maybe a section on how to easily grow some veggies without a lot of effort.

Things you better be able to do if you call yourself a man:

zero in, shoot, and maintain a bolt action rifle and a pistol
sharpen a knife to a sharp edge
kill and gut/dress an animal
change your own oil or even maintain your entire vehicle
drink unadulterated straight up black coffee
fix basic electrical and plumbing issues
start a fire without matches/lighters

Things men DON'T do
-wear jewelry. a watch and a wedding ring or class ring are all that is acceptable outside of modest necklace if for religious purposes and it better be tucked in your shirt
-complain. Man up, don't complain about it, fix it
-wear clothes that don't fit. Too tight or too loose; too phaggy
