Reply to LPT Request - how to respond to people who constantly try to one-up you and diminish your accomplishments? by idkifik
As a person who unintentionally does this habitually, I can say sometimes it’s not the intent of the re-speaker to “one-up” but to try to share in the positive environment being created in front of them.
I find myself in situations where no one asks me for my achievements or goals reached - a lot - and I unconsciously compensate for lack of asking by overly telling when (perceivably) we’re now sharing achievements.

US post office has many trackable services. Ask them for the best. Do the same at your bank. This is another question, how do you know if there really is a new landlord? It could be a scam. Can you contact the old one and ask him?

Are they being like this or are you worried it'll get stolen? If it's the latter, I think you're being a little paranoid. If it's the former, bummer

It can be difficult to know how to respond to people who try to one-up you. A good approach may be to focus on your own accomplishments and avoid comparing yourself to others. You can also be honest about how you feel and let them know that you don't appreciate their comments.

Just fyi a different person can sign for certified mail and they can claim they never received it. I've had this happen with clients. This is why I don't do any physical payments anymore, electronic payment only.

Don’t waste your time around them. Even if they’re your boss you don’t have to listen or enable that gross stuff. Just say “I don’t engage with childish behaviour”

I just let them talk for a long time then say ,”oh. You said something?” You’ll never hear from them again. They want you to be astonished and dumbfounded. Like it’s so new and how come you didn’t achieve it. Those people actually have wayyy less than they even claim to have at bare minimum

Reply to LPT: If you notice your iPhone battery is charging slower after the recent update, turn off clean energy charging. by JohnDeere714
Your phone is not charging slower without warning. "When Clean Energy Charging suspends charging, a notification on the Lock Screen says when your iPhone will be fully charged. If you need to have your iPhone fully charged sooner, touch and hold the notification and then tap Charge Now."
Essentially you can leave this setting on and still have the option to turn it off for a period that you may need your phone to charge faster.

Most banks have a bill pay system that allows you to draft and mail checks to third parties.

Use the U.S. Post Office. Send it Certified mail, signature required, and returned receipt requested.
You may also be able to insure it but I'm not fully versed in that part. The postal workers will be able to tell you more.
