Reply to LPT Request: How to talk to a coworker that took credit for your idea? by kellogg888

I think it is pretty clear they know what they did. I don't think it will change anything but it is definitely a good idea to mention it to let this person know that you're not ok with it. After this, be careful around this person and what you share. If you feel it is happening again,. Feed him slightly incorrect information so if he tries this shit again, you can quietly correct them. Do this a few times and when they stop, keep on doing it.

Reply to LPT: don’t Uber or Lyft from the airport – take a free hotel shuttle and Uber/Lyft from there. It can save you significantly. by [deleted]

Not all airports have surcharges. By the time you add in a tip for the shuttle driver and the extra time spent, and the possibility that you'll be traveling further if the hotel is in the wrong direction from where you're going, if there's any savings it might not be worth it, or even cost more.

And for fuck sake, don't call a shuttle to pick you up, or take the last seat.

Reply to LPT: How to get grease spots out of pants by ChickenCheeks7

I use dish soap and it almost always works. But it has to be a good quality dish soap like Dawn, rather than a dollar store version that tends to be more watery. Check that the label says 'grease-cutting' action. If the stain is set, use an old toothbrush to scrub with the dish soap before putting it in the washing machine.

Reply to LPT: how to make shoes with lace not become untied all the time? by LovableButterfly

There's a ted talk on this. Yes, really.

The trick is how the bow lines up on the shoe after you're done --you want it to be perpendicular to the length of the show, not parallel. If the bow is running parallel to your shoe, then there are two solutions. Either

  1. At the very beginning when you choose between going "right over left" or "left over right", switch from whatever you're currently doing to the other option, or
  2. When you go "round the loop" one way, go the other way.

Only change one of these things (if you change both, the changes will cancel each-other out), and the bow will now line up perpendicular to the shoe and come undone less often.
