Reply to comment by HatchlingChibi in LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. 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
A sturdy piece of plastic. You cover the opening of the cup with it and flip the cup. Keep your hand under the plastic for support and the suction will keep the water inside. Then set the plastic right next to the edge of the counter and slide the cup off the plastic and onto the counter fairly quickly (the crack between the plastic and the counter can break the seal so move quick but don’t knock the cup over). Then wipe up the little bit of water trail that’s left behind. To pick the cup back up, just reverse the process.

Put something thin and flat on top of the cup (like a drink coaster or something), flip it over, put in on the counter upside down, pull out the thing you put on top.

Reply to comment by CoffeemonsterNL in 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
The little stem thing doesn't open the avocado up.

Reply to LPT: If there's a show on Netflix that came out that you want to watch but don't have time, just let it play through the full season even if you aren't watching it. Netflix cancels shows that don't get enough full season watches within the first month. by The_Bison_King

There is always someone who won’t find a given joke funny. You ask for the impossible.

I sleep with earplugs every night. I don't hear much of anything.

I would highly recommend buying a google home mini or equivalent device. You can experiment with different noise themes to help you sleep. I have a google home, and I try:
- relaxing ocean sounds
- Brown noise
- white noise
I can tell my google device how long I want these to play as well.

We use a box fan which works well for me. When I travel I use an app on the phone which provides a good proxy and helps me sleep.

Go on YouTube and find white noise videos. There are lots that are like "black screen with rain noise". Why spend the money when you can basically do the same for free.

I would get a white noise machine. Big difference

Reply to comment by All_togHeather in LPT Request: Anyone have any advice for dealing with lower back pain? by apeprom123
This is important. A worn out or unsupportive mattress does a lot of harm.
I have a torn quad that screws with my back. A TENS unit gives me relief when I need it

Sleep on your back with thick pillows under your knees and (lower) legs. This position has helped me so much, it’s tough to get used to because I was a side sleeper but this has helped my lower back so much I can not overstate it

What kind exercise? What is musculation?

I swore an Oath with John Oliver
The only April fool's joke I play is on my parents, and it's so harmless they tell it to our family friends to laugh about it.
Remember, spread laughter, not pain.

Reply to LPT: After a good haircut, take a photo of your hair to show to the barber next time you go, it makes life much easier for them and for you. This especially helps if you're going to a new barber for the first time. by bongingnaut
When I go to a new barber and they ask what I want.
- I want the one that gets a raise.
- I want the one that gets me laid.
- If anyone asks me where I get my haircut, I'm going to tell them you did it. Do what you would want people to see.
Ultimately, what my hair looks like is your problem. I dont have to look at it, you do.

Reply to LPT Request: Lots and lots of movies and series to enjoy, but I am left feeling unfulfilled and sad after a weekend, how do I convince my mind to stop craving for more and more by instant-sherlock
Focus on your body first by getting enough sleep on a regular schedule and getting sunlight and exercise everyday. If you prepare your body and mind better you will have more stress resistance. Limit your screen time to specific hours and you will find more enjoyment from it.

I run custom scripts in place of the shutdown / restart / logoff functions. They give me a delay with a popup message and a voice alert. The scripts are programmed to stop if I hit escape before the delay is over. They also do a few other things, like warn me if certain apps are running and ignore apps that are hung.
They're pretty easy to make using AutoIt or AHK.

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]
Ahhh thanks, I’ll remember this next time I’m planning on dividing and conquering something? I guess?
Wtf 😆
