Reply to comment by chatterbox272 in LPT: Don't break out small or corner windows if you lock your keys in your car. by Bailmage
Breaking windows draws attention, just opening the door does not. So you’re more likely to get caught if you break a window, a risk some would-be thieves won’t take.

I despise post-its for this reason. They're a very inefficient way to maintain notes.
Most people probably don't use them correctly. Use them for ephemeral reminders on your keyboard or monitor and throw them away after a day.

Some, in fact many, actually do. I’ve run into this numerous times.

There are laws to protect here in Canada as well, but things like VISA gift cards can start charging fees if not used within a certain time frame.

No. Never assume if you don't know.

I had to do this for a bit when an attempted thief broke the lock and I can say there is always something to steal. Someone stole my passenger side window shade and someone slept in my car overnight

Is that really true in all states? Gift cards here in Australia have expiry date of couple of years.

Reply to LPT: While cussing may feel good, it feels distracting for your conversation partner and detracts from the effectiveness of your communication. Try to use descriptive, clean words. You will come across as much more understandable and respectable. by [deleted]
Swearing can be very effective, bs tip.

At least in the United States, gift cards do not expire. I do agree though that if getting a gift card for someone it should be for a place that they actually enjoy shopping/eating at.

Just always keep in mind, HR works for the company, not for you. They serve the companies interests, not specifically yours.

Not everybody have to be with everybody at all outings.
Call him(?) on it next time, right when he makes the comment. It's very hard to change this kind of behavior, so in case you need to hear this- that person is not your responsibility.

Reply to comment by prophylaxitive in LPT: Kegel exercises not only prevent urinary incontinence and poor bladder control, but it also prevents erectile dysfunction and it enhances your orgasm during sex by Alucard624
If you do anything excessively it can lead to issues. I once pushed myself way too hard doing dumbbell presses and I tore my rotator cuff. I was in pain for weeks until it healed. However the probability of injuring yourself by doing this exercise 3 times a day (10 reps each for a total of 30 per day) is minuscule as this exercise is uniformly endorsed across the board as a health benefit.
