Do you check for bedbugs when you get to a new hotel? I travel a lot for work. I usually average about 130 days a year. I have never checked any of my rooms for bedbugs, but neither have I had any issues so far. There are a lot of travel hacks videos on YouTube especially that show you how to check for bedbugs with either an iron or a hairdryer. Do any of you check? I’m kind of concerned if I do st…

Upgrade at check in counter So I’ll be traveling soon and I’ve only got an economy ticket. This time i wanted to splurge on an upgrade to business. I’m flying with Turkish airlines and apparently i won’t be able to upgrade before I’m at the check in counter. My question is, should i avoid checking in in the app before hand if i want to get upgraded at the counter? sub…

My Bank is discontinuing my old routing number, what things should I check? My bank got bought out by another bank years ago. The old routing number has worked this entire time, but now they’re discontinuing it. Obviously all my old checks are useless and I’ve destroyed them, but now I’m worried about what else I need to fix. Do I need to worry about bills that automatically come out of my checking account? What about c…

We’ve traveled to Japan a few times and are used to being out for the entire day and are able to walk +25k steps.

Turkish airlines dropped my laptop on the ground during “random” check. Went to the gate for my flight to London Heathrow from Istanbul airport. As usual got stopped for a “random” check where they go through carry on bags, and apply that gel on certain items. During this check they took my laptop out of my bag and then it slipped out of the security guys hand and they dropped it onto the ground, made a massive nois…

Unexpected check from bank My mother received a check from TD Bank, where she has her accounts. She was not expecting a check from them. This happened a while back and she brought it to the bank to ask. They didn’t know anything about it. She did not deposit it, as we thought it was a scam. It’s a check attached to a full sheet of paper, with no information, just her addr…

LPT: Food cost too much? Check your local “dollar” stores for discounted food I work at a “dollar” store in the US (the red one) and if a food product is within 14 days of its expiration we are supposed to put a sticker on it that says “50% off food/candy/beverage” just to get it off the shelf. Even if it doesn’t have the sticker, if you show us the date on the food product is within 14 days we will still discount it for …

LPT: Before plugging something into an extension cord or power strip, check the wattage rating on both devices, and don’t draw more than the cord/strip can handle Many extension cords do NOT have a fuse or circuit breaker, but are only made to handle about 6 to 12 amps. The circuit breaker / fuse in your house only protects the wires inside the walls. It doesn’t “know” if you’re over-currenting your extension cord or power strip. The maximum wattage or amperage should be on the tag of the extension cord …

LPT: Check that the lid fits BEFORE filling a container Many people accumulate a variety of food storage containers that are almost, but not quite, identical size and shape. In addition, many containers have bodies and lids made from different types of plastic that deplasticize and shrink at different rates. Always check that your lid and container actually fit each other BEFORE filling the contain…

How do i check if an old film cam is still in good condition? I found an old almost unused film camera back home and i want to sell it. It still turns on and it’s pretty much in good physical condition. It’s almost new with the box and all. I don’t have a film roll with me and I also don’t know how film cam works (as a digital cam user) but the functions work when I tried it with a new battery. my question…

Unauthorized unsigned check cleared my checking account I rarely write checks, so when I looked at online banking this evening and saw a check for almost $200 deducted from my account, I was suspicious. The check number seemed random and not like any checks I have ever had. I was able to see a picture of the check which actually appeared to be an electronically generated fill-in-the-blank form and no…

The Touch Bar replaced the function row of keys and added dynamic buttons that changed for each app, but it was a polarizing feature that many Mac users disliked. Apple started phasing out the Touch Bar with the launch of…
