LPT Request: How to get out of bed These past weeks I’ve been really struggling to get out of bed in the mornings. I already have to get up to turn off my alarm but I’m usually so groggy/out of it that I just get back to bed. Even when I’m totally awake in bed it’s still a struggle to get out and it can take me up to three hours to finally get up. Does anyone have any tips on how…

You can get three months of Disney Plus for about $6 right now Illustration by Alex Castro / The VergeI’m not going to lie: it sucks that Disney Plus is going to increase the price of its ad-free plan next month. But today, Disney softened the blow somewhat. First, the company introduced a new ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu plan for $19.99 per month, which is about $12 cheaper than buying both separately. And…

Do members who leave bands still get paid for live shows? Example: does Steve Perry still get a cut of Journey tours n Merch cause he wrote a lot of the songs? Or does Winston Marshall from Mumford n Sons still get paid somehow? Thanks! submitted by /u/Maxtank557

How to Get Slime Out of Clothes and Upholstery In my house, we don’t do slime. Its slick, viscous texture has horrified me from the start. It collects germ, dirt, and hair, and it clings mercilessly to just about every substance it comes in contact with. Sometimes, though, one of my kids comes home from school or a birthday party with slime, so resisting my… Read more…

From the most wealthy I’ve been to the poorest in two years. Not sure how to get motivated to make a comeback. In 2018 my wife and I started weekly budget planning together on Sundays. At first this was a hard to do, leading to stress, arguments, and the silent game for a day or two. Eventually this pattern changed as our financial position fortified and we began to see success by the pandemic is 2020. Throughout lockdown and into 2021, we were constantl…

How to get photo/videos onto external hard drive? For my college film class I need to get my shots from my SD card onto an external hard drive so we can start editing tomorrow.

Do I transfer the shots from the SD card to my MacBook and then from my Mac to the hard drive? I’v…

How do you manage to get ready in the mornings without sacrificing precious sleep time? I value my sleep just as much as I value looking fabulous. However, I’ve noticed that many beauty routines involve multiple waiting times between skincare steps, and I simply don’t have the luxury of waking up earlier to accommodate this. So, I’m curious to know how my fellow makeup addicts manage to get ready in the mornings without sacrificing…

What should I work on until I get product photos taken? Only getting new customers through word of mouth, not through ads. I’ve somehow managed to write a bunch of good, relevant ads that get a CTR of 3-5%. But those clicks aren’t converting to sales. A professional product photography session has already been scheduled, and I’m working on getting some customers to put up reviews, so what else should I improve until then? Some info about my business: I design minera…

Should I get a second personal loan? I was in car accident in June and totalled my car, while still making payments on it. The hospital bills are piling up, and the car insurance for the car I bought is almost 400 a month, I’m assuming because of my crash record, and it’s a high risk vehicle for being an easy theft. Anyway. I’m paying $391 a month for car insurance, $262 a month fo…

Homemade Feta Is Better Than What You Can Get at the Store Here’s the downer about fresh cheese: It has a shelf life. Sure, you can extend that shelf life in the freezer, but those icicles don’t do our curdy friends any favors. You can have a brief romance with a brie (about a week or two), and a gruyere can offer you a committed month of intense adoration, but for the most… Read more…

LPT: If you have a vacuum with a stick attachment, use it to get wasps and other insects in your house. I was at a friends house and a wasp was inside and her first instict was to go grab a can of raid. Sure it’ll work, but you’re spraying that crap on your walls and floor. A vacuum works just as well and lets you keep safe distance. Wasps and lots of other bugs are slow enough where you can get em pretty easily. submitted by /u/waxturkey …

Should I get a travel card? Live in Australia, going to Bolivia at the end of September. Usually I bring cash on my travels, but also the bulk of my travels have been in East and South East Asia, where cash transactions are the norm. I have a Visa Debit card that I used recently whilst in Malaysia – which charged me 3% transaction fees. Given that BOB is a closed currenc…

Does Succession get better? No spoilers, please! I signed up with Max specifically to watch this show, having read all the hype and seen how it dominated Emmy nominations. It started off well. But I’m more than halfway through S3 – and I’m bored. Kind of tired of these characters, and finding the show repetitious. The acting is fine, and I enjoy some characters (Greg is a …
