Reply to LPT: telling someone who list a significant amount of weight that they already looked great before their weight loss might not be taken as a compliment despite your intentions. by 808adams

Kinda wish you’d mentioned this marvellous idea before my kids were in their 50’s. Bravo! I’ll be ready for the great-grands!

Reply to LPT: If you want your non-dominant nostril be dominant instantly, lie down and face the direction in which your dominant nostril is currently active. If it’s the left nostril, face left, if it’s right nostril, face right. Notice after a few seconds, your other nostril is starting to be dominant. by Pr0tanoia
If I lie down and turn my head to the side it is the top nostril that opens up. So face left and right nostril is the good boy, and vice versa.

“I’ve given you the gift of life” was a personal favorite of mine growing up.

Reply to comment by Snagmesomeweaves in LPT: Got a Steam gift card for Christmas? Hold on to it after you put the code in. If your account gets hacked, you can use the old code to recover your account. by Worst_Support
Honestly, it doesn't matter how shitty your password is, or if it's been leaked if you have 2fa on. I've gotten probably no less than 40 attempts to log into my account sent to my phone, all of them with the right password, but none of them can get in. Should I change it? Yeah. Am I going to? Probably not.
​
Fun fact, when steam rolled out 2FA, Gabe Newell publicly released his account's username and password. No one ever got into it. He has changed it since then, though.

Good dark roast is typically made of a robusta/Arabica blend and is usually split-batched to keep it even or dried slightly beforehand to help it get darker faster.
French roast, generally, is the “throw it in a pot and burn the shit out of it” variety. Other dark roasts aren’t typically like French roast.
Like, look at Peet’s Arabian Mocha Java. It’s a dark roast that’s smooth and slightly sweet. The smoky notes are subtle, and the cocoa helps balance everything. It’s been roasted long enough to draw out a deeper flavor, while still maintaining a mild body.
Generally speaking as well, if you notice “froth” or bubbles on top of your coffee, it’s a pretty good sign that your coffee is of high quality and the beans were properly taken care of during the preparation process.

And always remember that we still have billionaires - a lot of billionaires. Ask yourself, why you have to worry while others life in such wealth. Do they really are more deserving?

This will give better memories than any thing. I did this for our sons Easters. 30yrs later they are some of his favorite memories

Really nice LPT if it works. Since three days I actually need this ability. Going to train that

Exactly. Never buy people things for their hobby unless they ask for it or you know the brands they use.
I craft and do make up. People are so sweet to give me supplies, but it’s never stuff I can actually use.

Empty ammo boxes can achieve the same thing.

Excellent LPT, well done - drop those ungrateful little bastards off at the shelter along with their unwanted toys. That'll learn them.

Love doing this for Easter. Last year my 8 year old found an egg different from the rest hidden in the backyard, with a rhyming clue that led to eight other similar eggs, with the rhyming slips rolled up in a set of cheap but pretty jeweled rings. The final egg was a golden one the size of a grapefruit buried in our sandbox that had led light strips for my daughters room. I regret the blinding light show every night before bed, but she’s still talking about the egg hunt that rabbit sent her on.

The way you worded the topic, I thought you meant to give the ungrateful animals to the shelter.

My brother and I were into Blue’s Clues as kids and so our parents set us up with our own Blue’s Clues to find our presents! I got pink paw prints, my brother got blue, and we had a lot of fun playing it! I still remember that fondly 20+ years later!

Smarter thing I learned from my brother who owns a home. Cut up all the boxes and tie with string.
