LPT: After taking a hot pan out of the oven, slide an oven mitt over the handle so you don’t forget the handle is hot It’s easy to forget that a pan just came out of the oven and grab the handle out of habit, especially if you more often use your pans on the stove. To avoid getting badly burnt, an easy trick is to slide an oven mitt over the handle of your pan right after taking it out of the oven. This is both a good reminder that the pan is oven-hot, and give…

My employer contributes 15% to my 401k. Should I invest more?

( www.reddit.com )

My employer contributes 15% to my 401k. Should I invest more? I recently got a new job. I am 23 years old. This is my first job with a 401k and I am brand new to investing. My employer automatically contributes 15% of what I make, to my 401k. This doesn’t come out of my paycheck. They don’t do any kind of 401k matching. I have read multiple times that 15% of my income is what I should be saving for retire…

LPT If your checked in bag is just slightly overweight, try another scale—they’re frequently not the same!

( www.reddit.com )

LPT If your checked in bag is just slightly overweight, try another scale—they’re frequently not the same! My bag was 53lbs, just 3lbs over the limit before paying the overage fee.

A brand new lens shouldn’t show up with dust under the lens cap right? I’m pretty fired up right now — after playing delivery tag with FedEx since Tuesday, I finally received my new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 from B&H. I sat down this morning to open the package and acquaint myself with the lens before heading out to shoot before an incoming snow storm. I was initially super impressed by the packaging and the lens felt s…
