LPT: if you’re trying to go down an elevator in a busy building where the elevator is always full, go up first I worked in a building that was super busy around 5pm with everyone trying to go down on the elevators. I was on a middle-ish floor, and every time the elevator opened on my floor, it would be full, rinse and repeat several times before I could squeeze in. I started pressing the up button instead. Elevator would open empty, I’d go up a few floor…

LPT Always label your emotions as specifically as you can (“I feel disappointed / annoyed / resentful”, instead of “I feel bad”). It may seem simple, but it helps to avoid becoming overwhelmed or entangled in your feelings, and helps stop the vicious cycle of having emotions about emotions In psychology, this is called “emotion differentiation”. I learned it from the mental health game Betwixt, which after each level tells you about the science behind it, and I’ll paraphrase here to share the gist of the idea. It’s been linked to lower levels of depression, social anxiety, eating disorders, and even alcohol use and aggression. Em…

Is a 403b always the best option if you qualify? My husband and I are both in education. In addition to our state funded pensions, we are eligible to contribute to a 403b plan. I have been doing this for my entire career (26 years). My husband became an educator later in life so we never opened a 403b fund for him, we would just increase contributions to mine. My husband is also 5.5 years olde…

LPT: Always look for jobs, doesn’t matter where you are in your career. Every week, spend around 30mins looking for job openings in your field even if you just started a new job. It doesn’t hurt to browse around, you might come across a better opportunity. Don’t feel bad because you have a good boss, the company treats you well, you are friends with your colleagues, etc. My colleague just got let go because the com…

The Wagner Group Is Always Ready for a Coup The ouster of Mohamed Bazoum by Niger’s military presents an important opportunity to Russia’s Wagner group.

What could be causing me to nearly always trigger a TSA secondary screening? To preface, I do not travel often but do understand that TSA is a vital part of airport security. That being said, I’m tired of budgeting extra time before a flight because I will inevitably be chosen for the “random search”. On 6 of my last 8 flights I have been either put through the X-ray and patted down or had my fingers swabbed for drugs/ha…

A friendly reminder that bigger is not always better when it comes to EVs Image: GMFor no reason at all, today seemed like a good day to reflect on where our obsession with supersized SUVs and trucks has taken us and where it’s headed with the shift to electric vehicles. I’m kidding, of course. Because today was the day that GM unveiled a brand-new Cadillac Escalade — only this one is electric! The Escalade IQ looks …

LPT: Talking on the phone in 2023 – always assume you’re on speakerphone or recorded. No, seriously! I know talking on the phone for work or for personal reasons is as mundane and “common sense” as it gets, but you’d be surprised how many new employees (mostly teens and kids just a few years back) don’t necessarily have something of an “etiquette” when receiving or calling others, which is understandable with social media being s…

Why Andonovski was always the wrong choice to coach the USWNT After two calamitous tournament exits in a row, it’s time to move on from the USWNT coach. This team can rebound and be better in 2024, but to do that, it needs a fresh start on the sideline.

LPT: When buying a used car, ALWAYS check the title with the DMV first We all know it’s important to get a car title signed over when buying a used car, but what some people don’t realize is that a title can have a lien that ISN’T printed on the title or that the title can be fake. So, if you want to avoid being scammed, paying for a lien you didn’t know about, or buying a stolen car… Insist you inspect the phys…

LPT Always peel boiled eggs underwater Chef here. I used to make a few hundred egg dishes a day. I’m amazed how few people know that peeling eggs is so much easier if the egg is under water. When you next make hard boiled eggs just fill up the pan with cold water after, peel the eggs in the pan. No more messy shell or sticky eggs. The shells come clean off every time mess free. s…

LPT: Don’t order large pizzas, smaller sizes almost always come out better. A large makes the most financial sense, but for the highest quality pie; A small or maybe medium is always the winner. Larger pizzas end up with the thinnest crust, which then often ends up over-cooked. The sauce is typically spread too thin and somewhat unevenly. And lastly, toppings are unlikely to be as dense as a small pizza. They also ten…

LPT: When traveling to a new city, always carry a laminated map with local attractions and landmarks. One of the best ways to explore a new city is by foot, but sometimes you find yourself on streets without sidewalks. In these situations, it’s crucial to walk on the side where the vehicular traffic is facing you. This ensures that the traffic nearest you is never at your back, reducing the risk of accidents and improving your overall safety. Ho…
