Good question.  It's very difficult to define.  I'm not looking to eliminate subs or burritos.  How about this rule:  If a place has a drive thru and some form of fried potatoes on the menu, then only salads are allowed.

I did this for a stretch.  Pretty easy once you get rid of the habit (save for road trips sometimes).  I also kept Subway/Chipotle.  Sounds like you have this figured out

You are looking for a book, it is called 4 Hour Chef.  It will allow you to do both of those very very quickly. It is essentially a book on meta learning with the practical application of cooking.

if wax gets impacted, you should not clean out your ears, doctors should.  do you know how wax gets impacted?  by using q-tips.
have you ever read the writing on a package of q-tips?  it says to use outside of the ear, not inside of the ear.

On the day of the helmet concert, I got shower water in my right ear. Then at the concert, my right ear was right next to a speaker. I had like airplane ear for a few weeks, and was taking q-tips to it ever-y-day. No pop. Went to the doctor and he said there was a bunch of wax in that ear unrelated to showers or helmet. I'm skeptical of that given it was just that ear, but anyway the assistant pumped a bunch of something thru and behind the wax and pushed it out. Not the orgasm-like pop I expected, but felt pretty good. I'all order that as a dessert every time I go to the doctor now.

jam away then bro, I won't judge. here's a tip (non q) for you though- if you have to use q tips because you're some kind of weird freak, then cut them in half so they are half as long. that away if someone bumps into you or something you can't accidently jam it too far down in your ear and perforate your ear drum. two dykwd's in the same thread. wow!

ears don't clean themselves, that's a lie and anyone can prove it by using a white cotton swab to check the ear for all the dirt the ear has failed to clean over the course of a day.


i like to use isopropyl alcohol in conjunction with a white cotton swab to really get it scrubbed clean.

they're self cleaning in the sense that they migrate cerumen outwards due to the fact that your EAC slants upwards as it goes into your head and is lined with hairs. a simple washcloth in the shower cleaning what you can get to would accomplish just as much as your alcohol q tip twofer is and in a much safer fashion. like I said earlier though, people love jamming crap in they're ears though, so far be it for me to try to stop you from doing something you get joy out of.
