Learn to make money on the side. Find a job you enjoy for a few hours per week. Offer to do things for money off the rent. You may be willing to mow grass or shovel snow for less than they can hire it for. Sell something online or offer a service to a nearby business. Lots of need for good people to do maintenance work. Learn to enjoy life without spending money. Freesby golf instead of regular golf. Poker at home with friends for small bets. Join a local YMCA. Buy quality items that last.

Reply to comment by becasquared in LPT Request: How to stop losing earrings from ears by Sugarpeas
I have not tried huggie earrings! I have seen them but they tend to be more pricey so I haven’t bought any yet.
I’ll have to get a pair, but I’m nervous about one getting lost! I’ll have to see if there’s some cheaper surgical steel or titanium versions of them available to experiment with.

I lead 2 different technology teams and this is exactly it. I have it on a poster on my wall. And it's been very successful over the years. You do everything you can to make your boss's job easier and do everything you can to help elevate and protect your team.

This will be my situation in 12 months but I recommend not fighting with your neighbors because you'll still have to live next to them. And don't let people treat you like a kid.

Yes, those studs with the screw on backs? The first two different studs I lost in November were like that! 😰

Get an electric rice cooker. Cook a bunch on Monday. Eat with cans of beans and eggs. Cook for yourself or all your money will go to Grubhub.

Reply to LPT: Admitting when you are wrong, directly and succinctly, is not only being a great teammate, but also a great way to determine friend from foe in the workplace. by AdministrativeAct902
I've messed up an entire production order and caught it at the end of the line. I immediately told on myself, even though it probably could have shipped as is (and in the end did). But it was a dumb mistake and made my manager laugh, and it came up in my yearly review in a positive way. I owned my mistake entirely.

Our city allows them in the municipal compost bin.
They'll always send out a flyer on what is and isn't allowed; always make sure to familiarize yourself with it (directed at OP)

Doesn't eveywhere have fireworks? Just go outside and watch the local fireworks lol, watching for works on TV is dumb, you might as well go on YouTube right now and play a video of fireworks, you could probably find some impressive stuff on YouTube too.

Someone who admits when he’s wrong deserves more trust (and respect) than someone who puts his ego first and always tries to save his opinion/preconceived notions.

Oh I'm well aware of how bad they are. I grew up in the sticks and moved to Boston in my late 20s...fucking zombies everywhere.

Bro, wait until you go camping with city people... They aren't used to seeing fire so they panic

If a person can admit their mistakes only once, we can be friends.
I don't trust people who "don't commit mistakes" or admit doing mistakes.
Ever.

Have you tried huggie earrings?
My first holes are gauged because I kept losing little earrings and just decided to go with the flow and then realised I liked it For a while I just used huggie earrings for the other lobe piercings. Now I have black diamonds with regular backs in my 3rd+ holes each side, although I do pinch the backs so they don't come off easily, and a pair of leverbacks in my 2nd holes.
My cartiledge piercings are all "piercer" earrings, that is, not simple posts.
I wish you luck! I adore my piercings and get distressed when I lose one.

-Try to buy things at used stores when you can. You’d be surprised how many good quality items are discarded- especially if you shop church rummage sales. Even if your parents are helping out, don’t be wasteful with their earnings. -Trust your instincts. -Find real friends by pursuing common interests or hobbies (bonus if they’re free - park basketball, running, chess, trivia nights etc). -Don’t forget to call your parents every once in awhile to chat.
Good luck!

Dont cheap out on a microwave and regardless if u do or not get warranty. I Got cheap microwave and it melted in 9ish months. Warranty can b like 10 bucks so it’s worth especially if u buy cheap microwave. And do it at a local place like Best Buy. With warranty it bout the same as the similar cheap stuff on Amazon with no warranty. And u just walk it in to exchange in a few mins. Plus the warranty resets every time it dies so a 2 yr warranty effectively 2.5-4 yr if u get unlucky.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Automatic Headlights are a bit different.
You are talking about DRL. Only front lights and often no as bright as normal Headlights.
Cars with actual automatic lights have a light sensor that will turn on all of the lights when light level below some level and in many cars will also turn on all of the lights when you active the windshield wipers.
You can usually tell from the instrument cluster. DRL does not light up the cluster but full light on will.
