LPT: Stephen Ridley’s approach is that It’s never too late to learn an instrument Stephen surveyed thousands of people in London and over 90 percent of them had wanted to play the piano at one point. It makes sense to learn an instrument no matter how old you are. With daily practice and proper instruction at any age, increased proficiency can occur. The joy that this can bring to an individual, family and the world is beauti…

LPT: When receiving a confusing email or text, wait 10 minutes before responding. Often, our initial reaction may be emotional or rushed, leading to misunderstandings or escalation. Take 10 minutes to calmly process the message and formulate a more thoughtful response.

LPT: When painting, tie up your paint tins.

LPT: Never share a online without deleting the geolocation Geolocation represents the longitude and latitude coordinates of a photo you take with your phone or camera.

LPT You can adjust the steering wheel on your car (rental car) I find myself adjusting the steering wheel on just about every car I drive, and I’m only slightly taller than average. I figured most people don’t do this, like my wife would never do it, so maybe you’ll start because of this tip. It helps me get more comfortable when driving and sometimes I have to adjust it to even see the gauges on the dashbo…

LPT: Order off the kids menu Without typing a novel, most places have zero idea how to correctly portion out food for a child which results in “lite adult” portions for a much cheaper price.

LPT: Buy a different deodorant/cologne/perfume to use on vacation Smell is deeply tied to memory, probably more than any other sense.

I say this because I see a lot of people asking why some people keep their phone boxes,…

LPT: If you ordered something embarrassing on Amazon and afraid it will be obvious visually when shipped, select “Add gift bag” option when checking out When you select “Add gift bag” it will cost an additional $5, but it will ensure that the item is not shipped “naked” in its original box. submitted by /u/ihaveacrushonmercy

LPT: it’s legal for cops to lie to you If you’re ever pulled over or in the process of getting in trouble for something, don’t ever believe anything the police say to you.

No matter what the crime is and no matter how cooperative you are, it will have absol…

LPT – don’t undervote in the US elections, it’s easy to look up endorsements Undervoting, or leaving part of your ballot blank when there’s a real choice to be made, relinquishes your voting power to those who are most easily misinformed by propaganda. If you are uncertain about a choice, it’s easy to look up information about the candidates. Endorsements in particular are very telling. The information you find may not b…
