I ran every scenario from doing a round trip, using a trailer and doing round trip, grabbing a rental pick up + trailer to drop off one way, everything. In a last ditch effort I looked up Penske rentals. For the same distance …

LPT When creating a new password When creating a new password, use a memorable sentence or phrase, and replace certain letters with numbers or symbols.

LPT: Embrace the power of saying no in social situations In my early 20s, I used to say yes to every social invitation, even when I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to let anyone down or miss out.

LPT – the recipe says brown the meat, not gray it When the recipe calls for browning the meat, especially beef, that means let it sit in a hot pan until til it’s nice and caramelized on a side, the keep on dicing it up with that wooden spoon in your hand and repeat.

LPT Request: How to wake up without having to scroll on phone? One of my goals in 2025 is to break my phone addiction. However, it seems like a losing battle since I feel like I NEED start my day with 15 – 30 minutes of tapping around on my phone, or else I can’t wake up fully or get out of bed. That time spent on my phone gives my body and brain time to wake up and become alert — I feel better after, phys…
