Reply to LPT: “Divide and conquer” means to cause infighting between what you are trying to conquer, therefore making it weaker as a whole. It does NOT mean that you team up with someone and each conquer half. by [deleted]
Like every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. The way it is used about sharing the work to get things done faster is a newer meaning, it's a little confusing.

You misunderstand. We are supposed to divide OP and then conquer their tasks.

I have a screwed disc in my lower back and ride about 100kms a week...the riding engages my core muscles enough to prevent lower back pain. If I don't ride for a few days and do no other significant exercise my back gives me hell. My cardio fitness is the best it's been in years too.

How is this a LPT? At best it's a pet peeve.

I like that in Rome taxis have a flat rate between the city and the airport

Yeah, I've heard this said in a few different ways.
Basically, "What do you do for a living?" can sometimes be an interesting conversation. But usually not. Most people don't really want to spend their social time talking about their job, even if they do kind of like it. And if they work in any kind of technical field, they are definitely not going to start explaining to somebody what it is that they do.
Most doctors will say they're doctors, even if they're specialists. Because there's a lot to explain when you say you're a rheumatologist. Likewise, I "work with computers" or "computer programming", which is about the most accurate job description I can give without getting into domain terminology.
"What do you do for fun outside of work" or similar, can be better. You're getting people talking about things they may want to talk about.

Lmao lets fight about it OP. I specifically mean "lets divide (our tasks) and conquer them.

If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo
My birthday is also on April fool’s day, although people usually don’t believe me when I tell them that lol. Happy almost birthday! 😊

Don't read in bed, get up when you wake up, stretch gently and walk around.
Don't think rest is what you need, but don't overdo it either.
Check the quality of your bedding and desk chair.
Get medical advice if the pain lasts.
Wishing you well

Reply to LPT: To know if an avocado is ready to eat, peel back the little round stem at the top of it. If it comes away easily and what’s underneath is green - it’s ripe. by Sensitive_Apple_7901
And do not do this in the supermarket when buying avocado's. Those are not your avocado's to damage for other customers.

on a mac, quickly click on any program in the dock. if a new app launches, it cancels a shutdown or restart. if youre fast enough. i hope the newer operating systems still do this

Do squats every day. My back muscles were atrophied and could barely hold itself up, causing my months long battle with lower back pain. Now I do 12 squats a day to keep the pain away. I consider it "daily medication."
