Q: Like starting a conversation for dating, you should always check out his profile for common ground, even if you're trying to become friends. If it doesn't have public information, ask him about it. If you just want a friend, you don't want to send a signal that you want something more. In other words, don't flirt. You don't want to comment it on his cute eyes if you just want to be friends. Say why you're contacting the person and what you want: "Hi, my name is Jake, and I'm looking for new friends in the area." People like to talk about themselves, so ask him about what he likes and who he is. As an example, you could say, "Hi, I noticed your profile today, and I found it interesting. Can you tell me more about yourself?" When beginning a conversation, open-ended questions (questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" to answer) encourage the conversation to continue. For example, instead of asking "Do you like books?" ask him "What kind of books do you like to read?" For instance, if you both like basketball, focus on that. For instance, you could say, "Hi, I'm Ashley. I see you love playing basketball. I love to shoot hoops, too. Did you play for your high school or college team?" That is, use "howdy" or "what's up?" as opposed to "hi" or "hello." Studies done by OkCupid show a person is more likely to respond to an unusual word.
A: Peruse his profile first. Keep it casual. Try being straightforward. Ask him about himself. Use open-ended questions. Focus on common interests. Try an usual word as a greeting.

Q: The process for this will vary from printer to printer.  If you are connecting your printer via Ethernet, connect the Ethernet port on the printer to an open port on your router or network switch. This is typically all you'll need to do for an Ethernet printer. If you are connecting a wireless printer, you'll need to use the printer's display screen to connect to your wireless network. You'll need to select your wireless SSID (network name) and enter the password if it is secured. The exact process will vary depending on the printer, so refer to your documentation for exact instructions. Once the printer is installed on the network, you can connect to it from your laptop. These instructions work for all versions of Windows.  Open the Control Panel. You can access it from the Start menu. Windows 8 users can press the ⊞ Win key and type "control panel". Select "Devices and Printers" or "View devices and printers". Click Add a printer. Select "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer". Windows 8 users will not need to select anything. Select your network printer from the list of available printers. Follow the prompts to install the drivers automatically. If Windows cannot find the correct drivers, you may need to download the from the printer manufacturer's support site. Once the printer is installed on the network, you can connect to it from your laptop. These instructions work for all versions of OS X. Note that the network printer must support AirPrint or Bonjour (nearly all modern network printers do).  Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences". Select the "Print & Scan" option from the System Preferences menu. Click and hold the "+" button at the bottom of the list of installed printers. Select your network printer from the list of nearby printers. If your printer isn't listed, you may need to download the software from the printer manufacturer's support site first. Click the Download & Install button if it appears. While OS X comes with the software for most printers already installed, your printer may require additional software from Apple. If it does, you will be prompted to download it after adding the printer. Once the network printer has been added to your operating system, you can print to it just like you would if the printer was connected directly to the laptop. Open the "Print" dialog in any program and select the network printer from the list to print to it.
A: Connect your printer to your home network. Connect to the network printer (Windows). Connect to the network printer (Mac). Print to your newly-installed printer.

Q: Take a plastic bag big enough to hold the baking sheet. Pour half a cup of ammonia in the bag. Seal the bag completely. The ammonia will take about a day to break down the debris on a baking sheet. Place the sheet somewhere outside, such as your porch or balcony, where it will be exposed to sunlight. This helps the ammonia break down grease and stains on the pan. Ammonia is toxic, so keep the pan out of reach of animals and children. After a day has passed, remove the pan from the bag. Use a steel wool sponge to scrub down the pan. This should remove any built up dirt, debris, and grease. It is very important to rinse ammonia off completely before using your pan again. Rinse your pan under running water or using a clean, wet rag. Make sure you get all remaining traces of ammonia off of the pan before using it again.
A: Place the baking sheet in the bag with half a cup of ammonia. Set the pan outside for a day. Scrub down the pan with steel wool. Rinse the pan completely.

Q: Video game addiction (internet gaming disorder) is not a formal diagnosis, but it is starting to get more attention. If video games or your reactions to them are beginning to seep into your everyday life, you may be experiencing a video game addiction.
