Reply to LPT request: Moving out of the city for the first time at 18 in a rented apartment, any tips? by GauravxAg
Do not underestimate your entertainment budget, that shit adds up.
Keep your space minimal and tidy.
Create a space that you can enjoy by yourself on a day to day basis, this is some of the years you’ll make the most memories and this helps create the overall feel you’ll remember 18 for

This is correct. I am a route driver and never has the radio been ahead of google maps. Matter of fact, more times than not, if it is a low/medium traffic impacting accident its cleared up before the radio even announces it!

Just use a holder and put on Waze. That shit never lies. It's definitely ahead of what the news is reporting. I don't even listen to the news anymore for traffic broadcasts since the app is pretty much live. The only thing it's not good at is if there is new construction that hasn't been detected yet.

Reply to comment by z64Prime in LPT: If you’re trying to cancel certain Adobe annual plans take the offer to change plans and you will avoid a cancellation fee. by ineedthiscoffee
Many years ago, Russian hackers were able to use a an old version of Adobe Acrobat to completely back door your computer. In fact, they could then use your computer/IP to hack other people. I.e. all you had to do, was just not update the program and you were completely vulnerable.
If there’s any software I would avoid pirating, it’s adobe. They (hackers) know many businesses use the adobe suite of products, and so concentrate a lot of effort onto cracking old and pirated versions of the same. It wouldn’t surprise me if they themselves pirated for the purpose of sending out Trojans malware into the world.

I check CBC and NPR once a week to keep up. I also glance at Canadian and US political subs briefly each day. Only ever written articles, never audio or video. I think i have a healthy relationship with the news, but i do know there are plenty of people who fall into the fear/anger trap and are glued to it through most of their free time.

Plucking the hair also seems like a perfect opportunity to allow infection in too.

It sounds like you’re making great progress! I find that making learning the language fun and convenient has kept me at it for years. Here are some ideas:
- Change your smart-phone’s language
- For a video game or fandom you like, join a discord group or some kind of other online group in the target languages.
- Explore pop music in the language you’re learning and sing along! The repetition of new words in songs will help you learn them!
- find an show or YouTuber that discusses a topic that interests you in the language
- Watch some “Easy French” YouTube videos that have fun and interesting street interviews
- If you like reading and you’re very familiar with the language, you can find “parallel text” books with short stories in French on one page and English on the other.
Most of all, don’t be hard on yourself! Hope this helps!

The point of waxing is so you don’t have to trim it constantly. As long as you’re not jamming it way in there and just getting the bits closest to the outside you’ll be fine while still preserving the hairs in the canal that do the ever important work we take for granted.

Reply to comment by skunksmasher in LPT Request: How do you negotitate on secondhand items that are close to NEW prices by skunksmasher
It depends on the store, some of them are operated directly by the churches as a charity, and some operate somewhat independently as a profit making business, using the church "branding" for profit. Which, is something that one might argue the church never should have allowed to happen.

These natural sponges were once alive and are a vital part of a healthy coral reefs, maybe that is why they are not commonly used as toiletries.

Since I found out they were doing this I stopped shopping at those shops. I think that's a terrible pratice.

Vinnies and Salvos go one better, they will take a men's t-shirt that sells for $4.99 at Kmart, Big W or Lowes etc, and sell it for $10 second hand. In that case the remedy is to show the store manager the new item and the price that the item sells for new.

If something that you’re able to fix breaks, fix it immediately.
