Reply to comment by looncraz in LPT: If you click "restart" by accident instead of "shut down" you can click "ESC" and it'll bring you back to the desktop stopping the restart. by Xanoks
It’s worked for about 8 years so far 😆
Also you give off the most Linux 🤓 vibes I’ve ever seen lol

I recently set up Phillips Hue adjustable lights and it’s a game changer. I’ve got different scenes for different moods. Watching tv, dim lights with an amber or blue glow. Working or cleaning and it’s bright white. I love having adjustable lighting, plus I’ve set it up with Alexa so it’s all voice controlled… turning on and off lights from bed is bliss

Reply to comment by avidoger in LPT Request: How to fold those bedsheets with the elastics by pepperPantz__
I actually fold my fitted sheets like this while standing in my laundry room without laying them on anything - just sort of drape them over my arms while gathering the four corners, Sorry for giving you a hard time.

Reply to comment by ttermayhem in LPT: Don't say "hello" at the beginning of your outgoing voicemail message. People will start talking to your recording and be annoyed. by ProblemLongjumping12
Like every LPT this is just well meant advice. It's annoying and people doing it may not realize that. Why be annoying if you don't have to. Don't like my advice, don't take it. Cheers.

Reply to LPT: Befriend a cop by carlosnobigdeal
I would revise this for a lot of people today:
LPT. Befriend a cop. You might realize it's foolish to throw an umbrella over a certain group of people. Shitty cops make the news, people are upset and want to "defund the police." Most cops are good people. Cops are undertrained. Cops have a very hard job the majority of people would not want to do or be capable of doing. Cops are stressed and make mistakes.

Who says it makes me "so upset." It's a minor nuisance that I describe as "annoying." But some people, like executives, big money clients, and just people with short fuses are set off by minor nuisances in ways normal down-to-earth people are not, and make their agitation known. The point of my post, as written, is that one ought not do this on their voicemail lest they perhaps end up ticking off someone they'll wish they hadn't ticked off. It's just a bit of advice, and genuine advice based on experience. Getting voicemail at all is frustrating, especially when a call is important. Why add to it? There's literally no logical reason whatsoever to do that.

“What gives you the right to hold people up to your made-up standards of practice” Like not saying hi in a voicemail? I didn’t say I wouldn’t work for someone who didn’t get annoyed. I said I wouldn’t work for someone who made it a big problem for me when they did. And the shopping cart thing is so ad-hoc and straw man that I won’t even give you a hard time about it.

Reply to comment by space-glitter 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
You too man!

Depends what causes it. But, I have bulged disc, and stopping running made lots of improvements. Physio, chiro, and yoga also helped. therogun helped reduce massage bills.

Creating healthy boundaries and cultivating healthy relationships is the answer, not pushing the world away.
