LPT: When looking at places to rent, if a potential landlord won’t give you a tour of the place unless you apply & sign that day… RUN!!

LPT: Instead of clicking on PNGs with a chequered background, click the ones with a white one While may people frequently get tripped up by fake PNGs, there’s a relatively easy fix. Instead, if clicking the chequered background ones, click the ones with a white one. If it becomes chequered after clicking it, it’s genuine. If it is chequered from the start, it is usually a non-PNG version of the image, and you need to go to the actual sit…

This means your WhatsApp chats and media are stored twice, unnecess…

LPT – Cooking Edition. Whenever you’re using wheat flour as thickener for a roux or gravy, give precooked and dried flour a try. The sub rules prohibit me from promoting any products so I can’t say the most common brand name, but it comes in a blue cardboard Parmesan “cheese” style can and rhymes with “Mondra”. Regardless, it’s basically just white flour that has been precooked and dried. What’s so great about it is that it mixes into liquids very easily without the clump…

LPT If you cannot hear someone on the phone, start talking quieter. Generally when we cannot hear someone on the phone, our reaction is to talk louder, which in turn just makes the other person talk even quieter (I am not sure why this is, but in my experience it is 100% true). If you instead start talking quieter, and make the other person strain to hear you, they will start talking louder. submitted by …
