I posted this in the “Ask South Africa” sub. For those familiar with South Africa, what areas should I consider? Are there any other countries in Africa I should consider? Greetings all. I am considering a short notice trip within the next few weeks to South Africa to attend to some long delayed, much needed medical and dental check-ups. Why South Africa? Time and timing are everything. I have traveled extensively, yet I have never visited the African continent. I am not getting any younger and I would therefore …

LPT: If you’re a US federal employee, consider getting a copy of your entire OPM file. DOGE has set their sights on the OPM 100% paper storage facility as a target of government waste.

Getting access is simple, as detailed here: https://www.opm.gov/faq/feddata/How-can-I-get-a-copy-of-my-Official-Personnel.ashx. …

What picture style do you consider contemporary/forward looking? I was contemplating this question – in a photography class, our prof had an opinion that majority of artists and photographers who were the most innovative, usually used the most recent available tech to them. Applying a nostalgic instagram filter, for example, was for him not a way how to make it in photography. (Nothing against that if it has …

LPT: When watching video content online, consider that “most viewed” is not the same as “what I’d get into”. Don’t rely too heavily on what someone else feeds you to watch. Seen this a lot as a year cuts over into another year (and sometimes even month): “2024 MOST VIEWED” or “2024 WHAT CRITICS SAID WE SHOULD WATCH” There’s no randomness to it that we can learn from. You can’t luck into something you find seriously enjoyable that others won’t find as enjoyable. It’s not “life changing”. It’s “herd-crafting”. Th…

Did You Even Consider Every Possible Lived Experience Before Recklessly Posting Your Chili Recipe on Social Media? Look, I get it. You thought what you posted was innocuous. Still, did you stop to think about everyone who has ever lived and how it could make them feel? I know, I know—all you did was share your chili recipe, but did you consider the people who don’t like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don’t…

LPT: If you’re facing an unexpected expense, consider negotiating payment terms with the provider. If you find yourself facing an unexpected expense, don’t be afraid to ask for a payment plan or extended terms. Whether it’s a medical bill, a repair, or even an invoice, many providers are willing to work with you if you simply ask. This can help reduce the immediate financial burden without accumulating interest or penalties. submitted by …
