Reply to comment by Responsible-Bed-516 in LPT: Remember to aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the fire by ProfCmdrC63
I guarantee if you use “race pass” in a professional setting you’re going to be sent to HR.
There could be an active fire and the second you say “race pass” some woman with blue hair is going to scream at you and file a complaint.

Writing tip. When ready to take a break or at the end of the day, hastily write out another sentence or two to start what you think the next paragraph or section should be. It helps you start back up with something when you need to get writing again.

Yes it's very effective at removing weed smells from a room. Some recommend simmering the vinegar on your stove as simmering it on your stovetop will really crank up its odor removal powers. The vinegar then vaporizes its acetic acid, which then bonds with the molecules responsible for the weed smell.

Most experts agree that ozone generators are ineffective at cleaning indoor air, and inhaling ozone poses serious health risks for humans and animals.

You might have the ratio off. Try mixing 2 tablespoons of vinegar with two cups of water in a spray bottle. The more vinegar you use the stronger the cleaning solvent, however the smell well last longer (however it will always dissipate in time)

I highly recommend reading a book called Atomic Habits, one of the things he pointed out was instead of saying to yourself, I "have" to do this thing instead say I "get" to do this thing. And instead of focusing on a specific goal, try to become the type of person that reaches that goal, focus on the identity. Also I know the times when I don't want to do something and I end up doing it I feel a thousand times better. discipline is doing things you know you have to do when you don't want to do it.
Example: personally I'm running to get in shape for a marathon I have to switch the goal in my mind from goal oriented to the identity of a runner. I completely understand his point of view because when I did my first half marathon in 2021 I got in shape I ran the marathon and then I got lazy because I didn't have a goal, so now with my mindset of having the identity of a runner in my mind it's much easier to train.

I’d like to know OP’s experience w/ Home Depot and what the alternative is. It’s a shitty tip if you’re just telling me not to do something. I’ll probably do it now just because you said not to.

Unfortunately you're incorrect as I've been using baking soda and vinegar for years to clean tough stains and remove odors from places like my garbage disposal. The reason this happens is because when the baking soda is mixed with the vinegar the baking soda’s reaction causes it to transform into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide that is released during the reaction gives it the bubbling effect that expands and helps lift dirt/odors from the surfaces being cleaned.

Gamification. Set goals, steps and gifts, for steps you need to achieve. SMART goals help as well. I want to lose weight doesn't help me as a goal.' I want to go to the gym on monday and wednesday every week this month to lose weight' is a lot better. Make sure you get reminders. Post a picture of your goal on the wall, set alarms. Whatever works for you. Depending on your goals - get yourself a buddy that holds you accountable. Track your progress. Most important: You might lose a fight and still win the war. Keep going, even after failures. Good luck

Block social media sites via their DNS at the router level and then ask someone else to set the router password so you can’t change it.

At first I thought you were being mean but I looked at OP's history and it looks like you are right. The account seems to be owned by a content farm.

You're not here looking for answers so you're not going to get one.

Reply to comment by Dandibear in LPT: use hot water to kill mosquito bites by diavolo_bossu
I'm allergic and often have to resort to taking antihistamines because it gets unbearable (especially if I have many bites, as someone else commented it seems to be cumulative somehow). But using hot water really helps relieve the itching, at least temporarily. I do it loads and it's a blessing.
So even if you're allergic I would suggest to try it, it could still help!

Run a spoon under hot water, then press the back of the spoon against the bite till the spoon cools down, then repeat on any other bites. Heat neutralises mosquito bites.
