Here we discuss secret spots, tips and tricks, and other assorted real-life cheats;

Freeze your favorite kind of drink into ice cubes. Put them in said drink so that it does not get diluted as the ice melts.

secret: having trouble finding all the weird ingredients you see on iron chef? If you live in nyc, you can find almost anything at the following four places:
Ottomanelli's: gourmet and exotic meats of every variety.
Dean & Deluca (soho): almost everything, and I mean everything, meats (fresh and preserved), cheese, bread, exotic produce, pantry staples
Kalustyans: Spices, herbs, molecular gastronomy ingredients.
Union Square Farmer's Market: a complete gamble, depending on when you go, you could find ingredients that escape even the three above, or you could not. Who knows.

cheat: have a single or double serving cut of lean meat that you don't want to over-cook? Stuff it in a plastic bag with some oil/melted butter, seasoning, and any flavors you wish to impart on the meat. Seal the bag and squeeze out as much air a possible. empty the sink and fill it with the hottest water you can get from the tap, and place the bagged meat in for 20-30 mins depending on size of meat. Take the meat out, drain sink, and sear. This technique, called sous-vide, is one of the best methods of cooking currently know. It can be done with any meat or vegetable given proper time and tools, but this is a close enough approximation for a two-person meal. Be warned, the meat may look raw, but it is fully cooked, and if you try to completely cook it normally, it will over-cook (it will still be more juicy then the average medium steak even if you accidentally make it well done, so if you want to be safe, don't worry.)

Cheat: Instead of sleeping 8 hours or more daily, try taking four 30 minute naps. For the first week or so, your body will rebel and punish you. However, if your will is strong enough, continuing to do this will force your body into submission. It will drop immediately into it's REM sleep cycle in those naps, and they will be sufficient. This effectively doubles your productive waking hours, at the cost of some side effects and risk factors. Sleep deprivation becomes a very real threat.

This has been proven time and time again to be incredibly bad for you.

Sous vide cooking is cool and all, but should be done under careful temperature control and timing. It is not so much a cheat as a cooking technique unto its own that should be studied before being attempted, as easy as it can be. The hottest water from one’s tap in particular varies from building to building, and cooking times and other preparation absolutely depend on what you’re cooking (want parasites? no? then read up, knowledge is power).

To make essays with page limits look longer, bump up the font size a notch or two on all the periods. This will increase the spacing slightly, without being particularly noticeable.

Having trouble finding sources for a paper? You may not be able to use wikipedia, but you can use the same sources it uses.

This.

So very much this.

Also, you can look up free statistical ebooks to use as study material for mandatory book studies.

Not very effective, but good in dire times.

Like Grilled Cheese, hate TIME and EFFORT?

>Turn toaster sideways (So as to have the bread go in horizontally)
>Put slices of bread with cheese in sideways toaster. (Put the one with the cheese on bottom)
>Put plate in front of openings
>Turn on toaster (Usually to the lowest available setting)
>Wait for toast to toast (Because you know what they say)
>When it is done, it will pop out of your toaster onto the plate, the top slice will land on the bottom slice, so it will come out as a sandwich already.

Well I see the problem there, you didn't put the plate in front of the toaster!

There's an abandoned hospital in L District. The door at the front is locked, but after chapter 4 where you get the bolt cutters, before giving them to Seto run to the hospital and use them on the door. Go up a floor and enter the 3rd door on the left (it has some yellow paint on it). Go in and a man sitting behind a desk with multiple goods well congratulate you on finding him and will then allow you to buy multiple rare weapons and items that usually aren't available until even the epilogue. And once you have spent over $500 there, you will receive a golden version of your current tailcoat with +infinity defense.

Am I doing it right? Also note I typed that all by hand. No copying actual cheats for me.

Make a playlist that is as long as the time it takes to get ready for school/work/etc.
You'll be able to tell how much time you have left by the song.

If you are late for things a lot, set your watch and clocks like 3 minutes ahead.

That way, you always think you have less time than you actually have.
Granted, you will still technically remember that your watch is now 3 minutes ahead, but at the same time, it will still make you think you have less time.
It's genious!

I've done this by accident too many times.

[BRPXQZME]

My mom sets all her clocks 5-10 minutes ahead, but only to impose it on everyone else. It’s awful.

(I am detecting a cheaters never prosper tone from my posts lately... maybe I should note that I just wrapped up a final for an ethics course....)
