LPT: Don’t rush to help someone up if they collapse – it can make things worse If someone collapses, don’t try to help them sit or stand right away.

Instead, check their surroundings for safety and call emergency services if needed. If they’re unconscious, lay them in the recovery position and keep them…

LPT: some UK phone number ranges are protected for TV and radio immersion. Use these for anti-scam and personal safety.

This means that if you were to call that number, nobody would be on the end (similar to 555 prefix in USA). There are protected ranges for major UK cities (if you need a landline). For mobile numbers the range is…

LPT: Block every user posting about the Switch 2 trailer. They’re just karma farmers and your feed will be cleaner for it. Any time there’s major news to report, karma farmers will frantically spam it across as many subs as they can as fast at they can. Blocking these users means you never have to see their posts again. Or just scroll past it, I guess. I’m not your dad. I’ve just found blocking karma farmers means I get to see more content that’s not just the same s…

Another branch has little recording studios for people who want to create podcasts. The list goes on and on. So check out what’s av…

LPT: You should cancel free trials immediately after subscribing It’s pretty obvious that companies are banking on people forgetting to cancel their free trials before getting charged. What you might not know is that in many cases you can cancel said free trial at any point while still having access through the remainder of the trial period. I usually just take care of it immediately because I’m already there…

LPT: If you’re in a rush to shower, just stick your head in. Simply putting your head in the shower stops the outside of the shower from feeling much colder than the inside, and keeps you mostly dry, allowing you to easily towel off and leave the bathroom after just a minute or two of hair and face washing. It leaves you feeling mostly clean as well. Of course, you shouldn’t do this regularly, but if you …
