Q: You may one day have a use for these packing peanuts, so store them until you do. They are lightweight and like to blow around, creating a mess, so try storing them in a box, garbage bag, or even an old pair of pantyhose to keep them contained. They will allow your plant to drain properly and are hidden from view. Because they are very light in weight, they will also make the planter easier to move and lift. When you are out on the water, thread a few polystyrene packing peanuts through your key chain. They will help keep your keys afloat. Stuff a zippered pillowcase with packing peanuts to make a cushion for your pet. It will provide a lightweight, cool place for your pet to rest. You can also use them as fillers for bean bag chairs. Use them to make a fat belly, rippling muscles, or to stuff a scarecrow. The light weight makes them easy for children to wear. Instead of using popcorn, string packing peanuts together. You can even add glitter or color to make them more festive. If you have children, they could make a snowman, a snake, or any other creation from the peanuts. Simply glue them together and decorate them how you wish. Fill a zipper-locked plastic bag with packing peanuts and stick it in an ice chest. The ice in the cooler will last longer and the contents will stay cold longer. Use a small zip-closure plastic storage bag filled with packing peanuts and ice as a way to keep food cool in a lunch bag. Avoid using packing peanuts for building insulation as they are not treated with flame retardant. Glue a small magnet to a packing peanut and attach it to your refrigerator. Use a pin to attach notes and lists. Stamp pages of scrapbooks or homemade cards with packing peanuts dipped in paint. Many of the peanuts already resemble letters or you can cut them into shapes. For example, some come in an "S" or "C" shape, but you could cut them in half to make a half-moon stamper. You could also cut them to resemble squares or triangles, or even glue two pieces together to make circles. Use packing peanuts to cover sharp tips, such as those on needle-nose pliers or even screwdrivers. This will keep someone from accidentally getting jabbed or poked when rummaging around in the toolbox.
A: Store your packing peanuts. Put them in the bottom of a planter. Keep your keys from sinking. Make pillows or cushions. Sew packing peanuts into costumes at Halloween or other holidays. Decorate your Christmas tree with packing peanuts. Make a craft project. Insulate coolers or lunchboxes. Pin things to packing peanuts. Turn them into stamps. Cover sharp-pointed tools.

Q: The tip of the scissors should be small enough to fit comfortably into your nostril, and the blades should be sharp enough to sever a hair cleanly with a single snip. Avoid using shared or communal scissors. Avoid using wavy "craft scissors", and avoid using dull, rounded children's scissors. You don't want to wrestle with your nose hairs, nor accidentally pull them out; you want the trimming process to be as neat and as smooth as possible. Use special trimming scissors, if you can find them. Trimming scissors have a rounded tip that's designed specifically for safely trimming hair in sensitive places like noses and ears. You can find facial hair trimming scissors in the cosmetics section of many drugstores, department stores, and personal-care stores. Clean the handles and blades of your scissors with water and antibacterial soap, and towel them dry before you use them. Consider using antiseptic to sterilize the scissors: if they have been used before, especially by other people, they might carry germs and bacteria that you don't want to inhale. Make sure that your nose is clean and dry. Blow your nose beforehand, if need be, to remove any gunk. If you're battling a cold, a flu, or any other sinus-related infection, wait until the sickness subsides before you try to trim away your nose hairs: if you clear too many hairs, you may give new contaminants an easy passage into your already-compromised immune system.
A: Find a sanitary pair of scissors. Avoid trimming when you're sick.

Q: Bands like Shellac, Glassjaw, and At The Drive-In cross lines between metal, hardcore, and noise music, often incorporating extremely harsh sounds and extremely fast technical playing into the sound with sudden pretty moments of melody. In the mid-2000s, this style of music became extremely popularized with bands like My Chemical Romance, Thursday, and Thrice breaking into the mainstream. Sometimes this kind of music is also known as screamo and will even have someone in the band specifically known as the "screamer." Often, the look was accompanied by v-neck black shirts, tight jeans, gauges, and the famous swooped bangs haircut. " The hardcore thug look is related to bands like Madball, Skarhead, and E-Town Concrete, bands that incorporate elements of gangster style and culture into their music. The music is often positive, despite its tough-looking image. Madball writes inspirational lyrics. Sometimes, this is referred to as "posicore." If you're into that style, bands of the genre include Youth of Today, Bane, Comeback Kid, Verse, and pretty much any band on Bridge Nine or Rivalry Records. Camouflage shorts are very popular in that genre, also. Long work shirts or tank tops paired with a pair of baggy jeans, and some Nike Cortez's (Chuck Taylors, basketball shoes, or black low-top Vans) along with a fitted New Era cap with the sticker on. Band shirts work as well, but only for local indie or underground bands. By incorporating the breakbeats and abrupt changes from hardcore music, some bands with a more metal sound and style are now referred to as "metalcore." Deathcore and grindcore bands are also similar, with subtle differences in the sound. Stylistically, the look is similar to tough guy hardcore style. While some of the imagery in the videos of these bands looks very gothic or metal-like, the members of the bands themselves dress in pretty standard hardcore style. Often, talking about various kinds of hardcore music will make hardcore fans say "That's not real hardcore," but it can be difficult to know what "real hardcore" even is. Avoid these kinds of arguments. Hardcore fans are defensive about their culture and want to preserve it against outside influences. Learn about the history of the genre and the culture and you'll be safe. At least give new hardcore styles a listen before deciding what you think. New and strangely popular subgenres like crunkcore and electronicore mesh hardcore sounds with EDM and pop-rap culture and are especially controversial, sometimes seen as marketing schemes more than actual music. If you don't like it, throw on an old Minor Threat record and move on.
A:
Give post-hardcore a listen. Try out thugcore or "toughguy hardcore. Explore metalcore. Keep an open mind.
