If you, like me, use DuckDuckGo as a search engine but are annoyed your preference for no AI summaries couldnt carry over to private tabs. I much more prefer a Wikipedia snippet or the like.
If you don’t pay off your monthly credit card statement in full you will have to pay 25% interest until its paid off, not fun. So instead as a fail safe, I created 2 cashapp accounts, 1 attacked to my checking account for my bank, and 1 attached to my credit card.
When you get a new phone or tablet or computer you should charge it to ~80% and then wait until it’s below 20% before charging again. This will protect the battery life. Basically leaving your phone charging overnight slowly breaks your battery because it’s constantly being stuck on maximum capacity straining the internal structure of the battery.
Scrambled To get perfect scrambled eggs regardless of what you like with it, the most important thing is to constantly stir your eggs in a small pot, I add a ton of a lot of butter but you don’t have to, stir until the eggs start to thicken and once all the liquid egg is gone its perfect.
In case where you have a wisdom tooth in place that sometimes feels like it may have to be removed, sooner or later, then go get it removed. The sooner the better. If for the most of time the tooth doesn’t bother you or hurt, it’s easy to keep procrastinating and postponing the operation for years or even decades.
I can’t tell you how many times I had ended up with little to no blankets after sleeping 4 four hours. Eventually, spouse and I decided that we would get two full-size blankets for the bed so that we could each have one. This has prevented so many restless nights.
Not sure if it’s a life pro tip, an ADHD pro tip, or a cat owners’ pro tip, but I’ve forgotten food in the microwave so many times after putting it there to keep my cat out of it, it kinda hurts. I always allow my food to cool some before putting it away, but these days, I use a microwave timer to remind me. It won’t shut up unless I go push a button. And while I’m in there, I might as well clean the rest of the kitchen. Since I’m up.
We’ve all been there. Something goes wrong, so you call customer service. What answers is a bizarre, arcane mess of an answering machine where you have to puzzle out exactly how company x categorizes customer issues when all you want is to talk to a human being. Saying “Complaint” cuts through all of that, but you might need to wait on hold for a bit. Just make sure you’re nice to the person on the other end.
48% of Americans are magnesium deficient. From googling, the hard to absorb inorganic ones are magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The easy to absorb organic salts include magnesium citrate, lactate, aspartate, and glycinate.
This only works by phone. Be nice, but firm. Don’t be satisfied with their first answer – make them escalate you to the retention department. They’re often authorised to give much larger discounts because it’s cheaper for them to retain customers than to recruit new ones.
This feels like a common courtesy I don’t see enough, particularly the second point. In a conversation circle, always try to keep your side vision open to people trying to find their way in. It can be awkward to try and find your own way in so giving them a spot tells them they’re included then drop a quick brief on the conversation “We’re talking about pineapples on pizza, good or bad” gives them context to jump in immediately.
This is my approach to fixing peeling shoe sole layers. I cleaned and even Dremeled the inside layers of rubber to help glue adhere, but I was like “How the hell should I apply pressure while glue dries?”…
If you search on a search engine for “no goals” or “life without goals” you get some sites that emphasize the importance of setting and achieving goals, but there are some other voices who say that setting goals is often an issue for them, so they try to live without goals.
Real sheep’s wool is a moisture wick. Your comforter will dry in one cycle. Your wool throw will still be damp, but read wool doesn’t mildew like down or synthetics do.
I see so many posts complaining about ads but never enough posts about using an Ad Blocker. These take a minute to setup, cost nothing, and don’t require you to spend time maintaining them. Let’s make the internet/YouTube usable again!
