LPT There’s more than one way to do something I remember scrubbing a pan when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. There was something stuck on the pan that wouldn’t come off, and I just kept scrubbing it. My dad stopped me, grabbed a fork and just scraped it off. And he looked at me and said, “Bella, there’s more than one way to do something.” From that moment on, I’ve been looking at every probl…

LPT : You can set your weed eater up for your own height AKA Weed Wacker, String Trimmer I am 6’2” for a little context. I’ve been weed eating hunched over since I learned how to do it over a decade ago. Today while weed eating a pond for my dad, it occurred to me: the handle you hold in your left hand can slide up and down the pole just by loosening a few screws. I moved it 10-12” closer to my right…

LPT The 2-Minute Rule: Overcome Procrastination with Micro-Actions Procrastination often creeps in when tasks seem overwhelming. The 2-Minute Rule is a simple technique to break through this barrier: 1.I dentify a task: Choose something on your to-do list. 2. Ask yourself: Can I complete it in 2 minutes or less? 3. If yes, do it immediately. No excuses! 4. If not, break it down: Start with a small part of the t…

LPT If you struggle with underarm sweat, ditch the antiperspirant I know this sounds totally backwards. I used to profusely struggle with underarm sweat, even when sitting in a cold office. I’d quickly sweat through my undershirts, and all my shirts had nasty armpit stains. One day I accidentally grabbed the deodorant-only version of my favorite deodorant instead of the antiperspirant version. Night and day di…

LPT What can I retrain to, what trade can I learn? I don’t have a degree, but I have a background in art. I’m not the best painter, I’m even very mediocre in terms of technique actually, but I think I have a very good sense of aesthetics. After Covid, the market was flooded with graphic designers, programmers and in general everything for which you can find courses on the Internet, everything t…

LPT Before moving out of a rental, schedule a a walkthrough with your landlord. Seen many renters complain that a landlord has withheld the security deposit over disputed damage or repairs. Instead of waiting until you have little leverage to advocate for yourself, schedule a walkthrough with the landlord in the days or weeks leading up to your move out. Ask them to point out any items which might cause a deduction. If issu…

LPT Check your multitool with the parking valet. Had to run into the hospital to pick up a sensor. I don’t use parking valet normally & due to construction I had to park a decent distance from the building. In my rush, I forgot that the hospital is a “weapons free zone”. I carry a leatherman wave tool every day. I don’t consider it a weapon, but hospital security won’t let me in the building w…

LPT : Throw out the tops to whipped cream cans Don’t use the tops to the cans, just clean out the nozzle thoroughly under the sink and let it dry open in the fridge. If you use the top, you’re trapping moisture (and bits of milk/etc) that will get nasty. If you clean it out and leave it open, you’re not going to get the gross bit that’s been sitting in the nozzle next time you use it. s…

LPT How to kill mosquito’s I recently learned that flies and even mosquito’s don’t see every color as well. White is one of the better one’s it seemed so I started taping a white tissue to my fly swatter and I’ve been killing every mosquito on the first try! Usually they are just so fast and seem to get out of dodge just in time but using this trick they don’t see it com…

LPT -Wear your work clothes to the gym. When your work top (T-shirt, polo shirt) is dirty and ready for the laundry, take the opportunity to wear it to the gym one last time. This avoids soiling another tee-shirt and reduces mom’s laundry load. submitted by /u/LeRondelier

LPT – If you can smell it, you should probably check on it. I said this about my car the other day when I smelled some oil burning. Then I realized it fits with damned near everything in life. From cooking to your breath to the baby’s diaper to car issues, fireplaces, body odor, the inside of your fridge, your kitchen drains… All of it. If you catch a whiff of it, stop and have a look, you just might c…

LPT for people who think they’re bad at cooking It’s not a magical talent that people either have or don’t. It’s a skill like any other that you develop by learning and practicing. If you tend to burn things, then make sure you adjust the temperature the next time you try. If your cooking is too salty, then use less salt next time. If it’s too sweet, then use less sugar. Or add acid, like vin…

LPT You may not have to pay your hospital bills Most hospitals offer discounts or bill forgiveness based on income. If a hospital is a non-profit, they have to, by law, offer a charity care program. (1) On average, a family of 4 earning less than $100,000 a year will qualify. If you meet the income requirements (and any other requirements the specific hospital has, like assets or residency)…

LPT — don’t play small stakes online poker It is rigged/distorted in favor of the thoughtless, ignorant player… so they keep playing. I’m posting this here because people in r/poker (should be renamed to r/idiocracy /s) just can’t understand that online poker is at best a poker simulation and not the real game of poker. It has more in common with slot machines than a card game — it’s …
