So just like reddit then?

How to change your vehicle’s tire SAFELY.

Basic home maintenance or at the very least troubleshooting and diagnostics when something breaks so you can give the repair tech better info when they arrive.

Basic home cleaning. This one might sound obvious but the number of people I’ve worked with who’ve never held a mop before astounds me. Learn to do your own laundry and clean your bathroom and kitchen well and efficiently. Learn what it takes to do a quick clean and a deep clean and do them on a schedule.

Sometimes you don’t even get the product if you pay for the product. AC: Odyssey will be in my Steam library forever unplayable because I had to delete my Ubisoft account for being hacked into and their support team absolutely refused to let me associate the game I purchased and thought I owned to a new Ubisoft account.

Fuck those guys. I will never pay money for their games ever again.

Fuck Ubisoft

https://us.lskd.co/ has some pretty steep drops on activewear and they’re pretty good quality

https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/11/the-best-sports-tech-fitness-deals-black-friday.html DC Rainmaker keeps a pretty good list of sports tech deals. This guy has been the go-to reviewer of this stuff for several years and definitely knows what he’s talking about.

https://www.moosejaw.com/content/p-Thanksgiving-sale Moosejaw always does a pretty good sale around this time of year. (they’re a lot like REI and offer extremely easy free returns)

https://www.lodgecastiron.com/shop?Sale=All Sale Items&page=1 Oh, and Lodge cast iron is running a sale. They seem to only discount their most popular products once or twice a year so this is a good time to grab a few items

Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

It was not even true a year ago, actually, unless you slice the data down to only look at deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases which, frankly, feels like a pretty obvious outcome for 2020-2022.

Especially since they started showing advertised businesses to me on the map. I’ve never been to a McDonald’s, Google, and I know you know this about me so stop preferentially showing them when I pan around my map!

Also please let me filter my search results. When I search “coffee shop” it’d be nice not to have to scroll past all the starbucks and gas stations to find small businesses.

It’s fine you can say you torrented it

Wait… waterfall is waterfall with steps 🤔

Also “on hand” means easily accessible in case of a panicked emergency. Not buried behind the bikes in the garage. Not stowed in a drawer because “it didn’t match the decor.”

And replace them regularly even if you never use them. The only thing worse than not having a fire extinguisher is thinking you do have one and finding out it doesn’t work at a critical moment.

90% of captchas are just being used to train AI anyways.

This guy is on to something.

You know those AI generated “average male/female face” images you see sometimes? I feel like it could be interesting to have an “average nude body” image, but we need so many normal nudes to feed to the AI.

It’s this (the service charge) or they raise prices across the menu. Some people prefer this, some people prefer the added cost baked in.

Personally I think the service charge is a little deceptive because you are hit with an unexpected expense at the end of your meal. Even if they’re very up front about the charge most people won’t be automatically calculating the 18% extra on whatever they’re spending, they’re just going to look at the price on the menu.

This is truly exceptional advice. Those two bullet points alone will take you so far in your journey to good health.

I’ll just add that it’s OK to start slow. The only person you need to compare yourself to is yourself, and if you’re not doing any exercise today then even just 20 minutes a week is improvement.

the internet has a serious boner for hating on major corporations

You get used to it

On my work computer Teams is consistently the biggest memory hog even when I’m not in a meeting or actively using it.

Honestly I can’t remember an LPT I got use out of. I think the format tends to draw inane platitudes rather than actually good life advice.

Almost every “life pro tip” I’ve seen has been either ridiculously common knowledge (LPT: wipe your butt after pooping!) or weirdly specific recommendations (LPT: most frozen ravioli or tortellini can be cooked in a bowl of water in the microwave (this one is literally on the front page of the subreddit right now!)) or just straight up ads.

This might not be the most fun advice, but it’s the right advice.

The earlier you start saving the more money you’ll have when you truly need it.

Come to Missouri! We may not have the best schools, but our schools have the sexiest teachers!
