I just don't answer. Period. I've noticed when I answer(at all) they proceed to call for DAYS straight.

Basically same. Just ignoring them isn’t enough sometimes!

Reply to comment by weluckyfew in LPT: Odds are you won't be the first person in your circle of friends to lose a parent to old age, but when you hear of the first one to go, heed the warning and make sure you're maximizing the time with those you love, because it's likely the bulk of the time you'll have with them is behind you. by JD2005
Geeze, I'm so sorry

I'm sorry what now?
Part of me is shocked, the rest of me isn't

If it is a human you question, like "I'm calling from Microsoft to help you fix a virus on your computer", or "Hilton hotels wants to reward you for being a great member" or "Your VISA card is due for a rate reduction", ask them:
"IS IT OK IF I RECORD THIS?"
Most hang up instantly. One said "sure" and hung up. Nobody has stayed on.

My mom would call them the lucky crusts and I fell for it. They are only lucky if they are eaten last, so I had many end of the loaf sandwiches growing up. I don't think it made me more lucky though

My favorite illustration of this was an image someone posted a while ago of some textbook that they edited. It was something like "Advanced Mathematical Principals," and they wrote "Harry Potter and the" above the title.

I’d like to add something that has helped me with attention issues while reading- an ADHD Conrad. Read a loud! If possible I find the book online and have the computer read it to me or I’ll have the talk back feature on the computer to read research articles. It’s helped with my mind wandering off while trying to retain information.

I agree. Instead of thinking of learning as "hard work," think of it as a satisfaction to your curiosity.

Reply to LPT Request: Any idea how to separate a photo that is fused with the glass on its frame? by Dwestmor1007
Scan it or take a photo. I would be willing to clean it up but also post to /r/estoration and you will get plenty of kind souls that will help out restoring the photo.

This is most commercially produced sliced bread where I live too. Its cut so thin its worthless for anything but bread crumbs imo. But seriously, just dry/toast it and throw it in the food processor. EZPZ bread crumbs. Waste is a thief

Gonna be honest, for the scratchy throat dry cough, honey works better anyway.

Reply to comment by ProjectAioros in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
What is a "PhD's essay"?
