Remember when people didn’t want you to get their colds or flus? I do.

Knowing your way around a keyboard will help you understand what you're doing on all other instruments and while singing. by BellyScratchFTW
This exactly! Thanks for your comment.

If someone somehow obtains my password from a google search what are they gonna do with just a password? As long as you aren’t searching your email address along with it, I don’t see the issue.

In the last 24 hours I read about a dude taking his puking child to the movies and one about a birthday party when the siblings are all shitting all over the place. These people are whack.

Are you the child of an actor by chance? Seems to be the only way.

Get a degree, they said. It will catapult you into your dream career right out of school, they said.

Welcome to the USA. We care more about profits and war than health care. For about 9 months in 2020, businesses said if you're sick stay home. Now they want you to work regardless. And you can't get day care? Bring your sick little one.

The problem is many times people can be contagious before they develop severe symptoms but yes, nausea and diarrhea. Good Lord keep that problem away from the general populace.

Reply to comment by Awordofinterest in LPT: Is it possible to learn how to drive in 28 days? by SuperDuperMarvel7
You and many others answered the question as “what is the minimum time required to pass a drivers test.” The original title, and more important question, is “can you learn to drive.” The fact that you and so many others focused on the wrong part of the question, speaks to how people don’t treat driving with the importance/value/diligence that it deserves, ie that you’re taking lives into your hands every time you step behind the wheel. and it’s why so many people can’t deal with complex driving situations and/or drive carelessly everyday.

This is actually a good tip. Understanding where the sharps/flat go on a piano keyboard really helps.

Look for a local amateur dramatic/ theatre group. Contact them and turn up when they're doing readings for productions :) That's what I did, it's great fun.

Yep.
When I went to music school, we had individual instrument lessons and theory classes. No matter which instrument someone played theory was explained on a keyboard and a keyboard hung in every room, sort of like periodic table of elements in a chemistry classroom or a map in a geography classroom.
Keyboard is very nicely laid out and it's easy to visualize relationships between notes by visualizing the keyboard.

Reply to LPT: ALWAYS wear shoes on a ladder by [deleted]
From what I have read, it seems that the direction to wear shoes is accurate, but the reasoning of shoes improving your balance may not be the strongest reason. Rather, bare feet, sandals, and flip-flops have a greater potential to slip on the ladder rung. It's important that you wear shoes that have a non-slip sole and a secure fit.

The usefulness of the tip may depend as well. Some credit cards charge a 3% foreign transaction fee.

Do yourself a favor and use a breach monitoring page like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ . It checks your email if it is on any known leaked / hacked list.
Also use a password manager to generate and keep safe passwords.

Old trick. I helped a guy move his mustang out the snow with the floor mats. Took two and me putting weight in the back, RWD, but worked. For older cars and hats what we did, my brother used sandbags in his old Corolla because RWD and car is so light.
