Reply to comment by The_Bison_King in 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
I bet you leave the tap run while you brush your teeth too.

Bed bugs are a great corrective exercise. As others have stated working out helps, more specifically strengthening your posterior chain will help tremendously.

Reply to comment by Bart-MS in LPT Request: How to deal mentally with nightly noise during the summer months by Bart-MS
Have you tried the pliable silicon plugs for swimmers? They don’t go in the ear canal, just the ear vag so they’re waaay more comfortable albeit not as effective.

Martha Stewart has directions in her housekeeping handbook it doesn't work, I tried.

The machine, not an app or a speaker. There’s a non-acoustic aspect of a machine that tends to flatten out low frequencies better than a speaker, which feels localized and artificial.

Just let it bounce off the limiter.

This site has a lot of great resources
The main thing is to be honest and use the correct words. You want to be age appropriate. The 2 yr old won’t understand so it’s mostly about the 6 yr olds.

If you own the house, plant evergreen trees. I noticed how huge the difference was when my neighbor cleared a bunch of theirs, now we hear traffic, sirens, and noise from a local school we never heard before. Since then a big hedge we planted (viburnum) has really helped.

Reply to comment by Guttermouth11111 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
I did too because it was also Easter! But we did a whole photo shoot and everything so that would’ve been excessive for a prank 😅

There’s lots of YouTube videos on how to fold a fitted sheet. That’s what got me to finally sort it out!

Since you don't do well with earplugs, you could try "hairband headphones" (not sure if this the correct term) with white noise or rain noises. They are flat and can supposedly be used even if you're a side sleeper. I personally haven't tried them yet, so take this with a grain of salt.

Reply to comment by Primary-Appearance21 in LPT - order Boneless Wingstop wings minutes before closing by Primary-Appearance21
I work at a restaurant, and I 100% hate people who come in a few minutes before closing. It's very inconsiderate because we are cleaning already and want to go home.

Why? If it's just on in the background, what does that matter? I agree it's not great, but neither is the method to which Neflix decides to greenlight a second season.

Could someone please let mother nature know this? It's going to be freezing, rainy, and dangerously windy here. I'm sure other parts of the US and world are going to be even worse. The whole March going "in like a lion out like a lamb" thing is out the window here...
