Don't be an asshole, be courteous to your neighbors, especially if you live above 1 of them.

If you need kitchen basics, try a Dollar Tree if there’s one nearby. You can get plates, cups, and all the utensils!

I am okay spending an extra $6 at my local flea market if it means the seller can eat that day. It’s not always about saving a buck or two.

Good stuff. But do everyone a favor and never use “succinctly” again

I was going to comment this
Context for who don't want to open the link:
In software engineering positions, it was common to give a rubber duck to juniors and tell them "if you get stuck, talk with the duck". To promote this same pro tip of talking your problems out loud
It's not that common nowadays, but is something every other "oldschooler" programmer knows about

I would try silicone or rubber backs for the earrings, specifically those that look like a tiny tube - even on the hook-like earrings. They should sit tightly and prevent the earring from slipping out.
With the leverback earrings I would try pushing the part that goes through the ear a little bit higher to make the lever lock tighter on it.

Breathing in stuff (like big particles) is generally not very good for you. It of course all depends on the stuff - for example if you are just using water to increase humidity, that's fine. But if you use anything smelly, it will affect your throat and lungs.
Maybe you meant air purifier? That's opposite of air diffuser :)

We usually get magnets for the fridge. Similar concept but year round.

Reply to LPT: If you have a hard to clean pan after cooking meat, sauteé onions or make a sauce in it. This will often return your pan to a much cleaner state. by birdsRMyBestFriends
If you have a hard to clean pan with meat fond on it, yes you can definitely pick that flavor up into onions or a sauce and sometimes with the added benefit of making scrubbing easier later.
If your only goal is to easily release the stuck on bits, no need to waste food to do it. Yesterday I had a stainless steel pan with difficult bits, and I simply filled with some water and returned to the stove. Once the water starts to boil, turn the heat off and clean the pan whenever you want.

Seconding the plunger thing. Hadn't thought to buy one in a new apartment, hosted a New Years party, friend got trashed and destroyed the bathroom and wouldn't come out. Had to turn off the water to it and keep leading people to the least visible place in the yard so they could piss.

Not quite. Again, buying from Amazon and reselling the exact same product for $5 more is a rip off AND still supporting Amazon under the guise of a “small business” aka person who does not create a damn thing and claims credit.

have your holes stretched by any chance and they're coming out from the back?
Oh you said leverbacks too. Maybe you're losing them when you're sleeping? I'd try a satin pillowcase maybe?

Reply to comment by dantodd in LPT never make an argument based on logic with someone who thinks squeezing the air out of a 2liter bottle keeps the drink from going flat. by dantodd
I mean by definition, or experiment if you squeeze the air out of a plastic bottle the volume would reduce. I would post a picture, but seriously pretty much every person who has every interacted with a plastic bottle would know that squeezing it would reduce the volume.
Are you a real person or are you some kind Chat GPT AI that has never actually touched a plastic bottle?
Edit: I'm tempted to post a LPT about how you shouldn't bother engaging with people who don't think the volume in a plastic bottle reduces if you squeeze the air out of it.
Edit 2: Just do the experiment, empty two bottle half way, squeeze the air out of one so there is pretty much no air/space left. Leave for a few days then see if there is any difference in fizziness.
Edit 3: Evidence the the volume reduces when you squeeze the air out https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3d07ddd8eb1f5d84fb83848a9bdc144f.webp
