They will leave a voice mail don’t worry.

Lol lying sac a shit. Save those numbers.

I get far more calls from non contacts that I want to speak to than from spam callers. Put your name on a Robinson list if you don't want spam.

Sublime Text

Select all and: Ctrl Shift J (join lines). Just know there is such a thing as multi-select and multi edit .. it saved me so much time over the years.

I shut this off. I wish there was an option to answer silenced calls

bad lpt i get plenty of non spam calls from numbers not in my contacts. dentist, car mechanic, school staff, friends of friends.

Who calls people now a days…your grandma is your contacts.

Yes, and anyone else not in your contacts, which doesn't sound like a great idea.

I just lie down with my head on a pillow and slam it a few times

I mentioned above, if you're on a Mac, paste into a spotlight search (cmd+space) and copy it.

Line breaks, XML data, all the hidden junk. This is one great LPT!

If you're on a Mac, Command+Space Bar to get a spotlight search, then paste/copy is even faster (in my opinion)

Also good for Wikipedia

We love playing any of the Jackbox games with our friends! Or Mario Kart and Mario Party!

If you paste into excel, you can press CTRL J in the find box and replace with space. Probably not quicker though

Posting it on editor will get rid of all the styling

On word paste the text from your PDF.

Ctrl + H to replace.

Then find '^p' and replace with a space ' '.

This will turn everything into one paragraph, so if copying multiple paragraphs you'll have to check where to put the line break back in.

Gah, you’re right! I blame it on me being on mobile so the key locations are different, and me being sleep deprived. Surely it’s not because I’m a bad programmer…

Just a minor correction, the almost universal escape character is a backslash. i.e. it's "\n" rather than "/n."

Windows does some funny stuff in cmd and powershell, being caret (^) and backtick (`). Afaik "/" isn't used anywhere, though.

• Dinner parties with themes: Make your own pizza night, Make your own burger/taco night, etc. It keeps people busy and always have something to do. Make your own cocktail/mocktail is generally a safe bet as well (you can run it simultaneously with another one, but there will be a lot of cleaning up from my experience)

• Poker night/Board game night: self explanatory, sort of a pretty chill night with food ordered and some wine

• Movie night/Binge-watching night: watch a documentary, murder mystery, bingewatch a show etc. The one we've had most success with with my roomates and their friends were things like Tiger king, Bachelor Monday, and some other retro show (i think The wire iirc)

• Sunday morning brunch: Everyone brings a little something and you get together and eat brunch homemade. Had a lot of success with these ones because at the time everyone fucking loved brunch lol.

• Backyard BBQ, or backyard party just basically get together and throw things on the barbecue and chill in the backyard, super fun on sunny days with cold drinks and music

I think this is pretty much what we did during my student years with my roomates, we also had a pretty big house with lots of room and a backyard, we were 5 dudes with different circles of friends and we managed to by the end have everyone become friends with pretty much everyone, cool memories and friendships that last till today !

Probably not. Notepad++ and other text editors look for the new line character “\n”, whereas most pdf search tools will look for the literal characters \ and n

If you're doing this sort of thing frequently, learn regular expressions. Yes, the barrier to entry can be a little high for an otherwise principally non-technical person, however if text manipulation is a frequent task of yours, you'll thank yourself for having learned.

Many editors (Notepad++, etc.) support regular expressions for search-and-replace. In this case you'd simply search for \s+ (any whitespace characters) and replace them with a single space. This will convert all sequences of newlines, tabs, and spaces, to a single space.

ETA: One caveat with OP's LPT is character length limits on input fields; Chrome appears to be ~2MB, which is really, really high for most practical uses of this trick. But, if you were to copy/paste a whole PDF textbook, you could run into problems. See: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/security/url_display_guidelines/url_display_guidelines.md#URL-Length

IMHO have something to do, play a game. We host a party monthly where we get together and try to solve some of those “mystery boxes” it lets everyone have fun, and gives everyone something to focus on. We still end up having conversation outside of the games but it also allows for a fun engaging interaction, that’s not just talking but solving puzzles.
