I need to be aware of this. I type p much all day everyday and I really don’t want my hands to turn stone

You can ask, just don't be upset when my list of reasons takes the rest of the day to explore.

Reply to LPT Request: What do you do to get better search results on the internet? by SamuraiSardar5
You have to be specific what you are looking for.
Depends what you are searching for, you will get ads, thus you have to scroll down half down the page in some cases.
Half the time, I’m looking for something specific but I can exactly describe it. I put in the words click search, afterwards I click on “images” till I find an image that is close what im looking for. I click on similar images that eventually have a name or description what im looking for.
Searching via google images has helped me a lot over the years.

lol what "concatenated" is a part of my regular vocabulary, and has been for over a decade. Because I use a word often that you don't use often, I have a superiority complex?

They are actually huge. In addition to being a health proxy without having to verify tons of paperwork, and taxes, inheritance is important on many levels. Stepped up cost basis on real estate. Claiming on higher earner’s social security. Not having to fight off other family members for your own stuff.

An easier way to remember it is that you only use "it's" if you can replace it with "it is". Otherwise, use "its".

If anyone ever feels the need to explain the difference between two by using the word “concatenated, I’m just going to assume their life peaked with winning the spelling bee in 7th grade and move on. Sometimes it’s an honest mistake just from the slip of the mind or autocorrect messing it up. If someone genuinely doesn’t know the difference and I feel particularly compelled to explain it, I will just tell them that “it’s” is the contraction for “it is.” That’s some weird superiority complex you’ve got, my dude.

Reply to LPT: Separate bacon into portions of 2-4 strips before freezing. That way, when you need them, it's easier to defrost only the number of portions you need directly in the pan, and you won't make a mess trying to separate (or cut) slippery, frozen bacon. by Professional_Trip217
I do the same with value pack chicken breasts!

You can just drop a pin on google maps to save your exact location. It works so well that I once sent my friend a link of a dropped pin to where I was sat on a large busy beach and he found me easily.

Reply to comment by Preposterous_punk in LPT: When someone is mean to you, it’s 100% about them and their ego, and 0% about you. They are just miserable with their own life and want you to feel bad about yourself as well. Just kill them with kindness and remember that you are better off and not a miserable person like them. by Waiting-For-October

Have a frank and honest conversation. Clearly the current system isn’t working so each person needs to wash what they use and the new arrangement needs to be no dirty dishes left overnight. If you have a dishwasher then run it every night if y’all have to, it will actually save money to do so compared to hand washing. And don’t fall for “I’m letting it soak overnight” as no dirty dish ever actually needs to soak that long.
In the same conversation, make it known that this is a deal breaker when it comes to renewing the lease. No change in their behavior means either they will be looking for a new home when the lease it up or you both will. Sometimes the only way to deal with a bad roommate is to no longer be roommates.

Don't use google? It's cluttered with ads and promoted links.
I'm baffled how fast I find information when I use other searches engine. Personally I like duckduckgo.

That's scary! I'm glad you caught it in time. Just a reminder to everyone out there to always be very cautious when it comes to anything computer related. Better to be safe than sorry!
