  • Except one short mention about riding the clutch, I haven’t seen this yet… Get into the habit of completely removing your foot from the clutch pedal whenever possible. Even just lightly resting your foot against the pedal can wear your clutch out prematurely. Cruising on the highway: remove your foot from the clutch pedal and rest it on the floor. Sitting at the lights: put the car in neutral and release the clutch. Put your foot on the floor until you’re ready to go. Also, it’s ok to coast to a stop with the clutch pedal depressed, but you have much more control if you downshift to a stop and you will extend the life of your brakes, too.

    I always have a screen protector. I prefer glass; I’m not a fan of the plastic ones. I pay to have it installed, that way it has to be installed perfectly or they do it again until they get it right.

    I’ve broken a couple of screen protectors, but never a screen… Except for the time I accidentally stood on my 7" Nexus tablet, which wouldn’t have been saved by a screen protector, anyway.






  • It depends.

    • If you are dining, then place it on the far side of your plate.
    • If you are sitting at a table, but not dining, then place it approximately halfway between the dining position and the table edge.
    • If you are standing by the table, then I’d go with about 4"-6" from the table edge.
    • If you are standing by the table in a high traffic area, then I’d go with 6"-8".
    • If you notice someone nearby who is particularly animated when speaking, then I’d aim for the centre of the table.

    This answer assumes the table in question is a dining table. Coffee tables are a whole different kettle of fish; and don’t even get me started on side tables, bureaus and credenzas!
