LPT: Setup PIN and/or biometric unlock in the Venmo app There are scams where people borrow your phone (to “call their mum” or whatever) and then Venmo themselves money. Venmo has PIN/biometric unlock off by default (which is terrible) and it also seems to reset to off after every update. submitted by /u/daking999

LPT Request: how to set a boundary with complainers I’m a good listener. I’m engaged, and I love workshopping possible solutions to problems. I’ve noticed some people take advantage of this, and I find it draining. These people experience the same problems, sometimes over the course of years, but they don’t do anything to change it. Instead of taking action, they complain about the same problem…

LPT: When you are too tired to play with children, pretend to be sleepy animals. My 3 year old daughter has gotten into the habit of waking me up early in the morning to play. And since the sun is technically up, and she does need supervision, I am mostly obliged to do so. To cope, after getting her breakfast etc. I’ve learned to ask “Okay, what kind of animal should we pretend to be?” Then no matter what she says, I’ll be a…

LPT: How to soothe canker after it popped? I have a canker and it hurts like hell. It appeared yesterday morning and I rinsed with salt water, applied baking powder like 5 times over the day and dry salt a few times. It soothed the pain.

LPT: Learn big words to understand them – not to use them The best word to use is always the one that communicates what you mean in the simplest and clearest way, considering the person you’re speaking to. That is very unlikely to be one of the English language’s many “big words”. It’s still highly valuable to develop a large vocabulary. And every big word absolutely has a time when it is the most appr…
