Reply to comment by Montpre in LPT: when taking something out of the oven always use two oven mitts even if you plan on only using one hand. If you accidentally drop the hot pan your instinct will be to grab it with your other hand which you’ll be glad is wearing an oven mitt! by [deleted]

Reply to comment by Spe333 in LPT Request: Any idea how to separate a photo that is fused with the glass on its frame? by Dwestmor1007
A photography service could make a high quality copy of the picture before you try anything on it.

Reply to comment by FoFfEvErYoNe 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
I'm had my mind changed on a number of issues, large and small. Usually not immediately, with one single argument, but it does happen. And I've seen it happen with plenty of other people as well.
There's lots of evidence that people do change their minds. All sorts of famous figures who say one thing when they're young and then, when they're older, talk about how they feel differently. It's actually not that uncommon for thoughtful people willing to examine new evidence or consider new arguments.

Reply to LPT: Start brushing/combing from the tips of your hair instead of the roots. It'll make detangling a breeze! by Character_Gur_578
In our house Im the master of brushing little girls hair with minimal tears and screaming. Brushing from the tips and gripping hair tight to place the tension there instead of the scalp are the keys.

You could take them to the groomer, and once they got home, it would be like you never went.

I hate when people say this. It's dumb, and it's semantics, but it drives me nuts.
You can't start at the tips! What the fuck do you think you're combing? The air?
You need to start an inch or two above the tips. Otherwise there's nothing to comb.

I mean it's honestly a good tip. Just ask the burn scar on my left hand.

Not sure if it exists for Android but for iOS, the Musi app can also play any YouTube video in the background and on top of that you can make playlists, randomize songs, queue songs, etc.

Totally blocked from tech support... But check out windirstat, great program for isolating where storage is being used.

How does Brave stack up against Duck Duck Go? I've been running that on my phone for about four years without any obvious issues.

Example 1
A: This fork is made of plastic.
B: Oh yeah? What evidence would persuade you that you're wrong?
Example 2
A: Trump won the election.
B: What evidence would persuade you that you're wrong?
A: Trump admitting that he lost.
Nah, this whole LPT sounds good, but I don't think it's very practical.
