Reply to LPT: the rubber nubs on a stern quality masturbation glove can also make for quick work of not only, say, the dishes but also in pre-meal prep when scrubbing potatoes and other root crops by [deleted]
What the actual fuck is a masturbation glove?

Reply to comment by anally_ExpressUrself in LPT: If a small business gives you discounts or free item/service to resolve a genuine issue you had with them, don't mention it in public reviews/forums, people will try to take advantage, they'll use your review as precedent and an excuse to be a shitty customer by InevitableNothing460
"there was a mistake but it was resolved well" is just a more useful review. Slightly different context, but looking through online seller reviews and seeing lots of 5 stars only to read the comments and see they were nearly all fucked up orders but they got a refund so great seller, it makes reviews useless

Reply to LPT: If you always listen to music or the radio when you drive, make sure to do occasional drives without sound to listen to your car for a few minutes. There could be something quietly scraping, grinding, or dragging and you would never hear it until it’s too loud and too late. by The_Big_Crouton
I keep the radio up so I can’t hear my brakes/rotors scraping. They’ve gotta be <1mm now. Still work though so imma keep rollin rollin rollin…

As a mechanic I can confirm this is correct. Also thank you to those of you that don't follow this, you've put my son thru college, and I've been able to buy a nice house in the country and enough put away to finally buy my dream car at Mecum auction in Kissimmee a few weeks ago. Thank you.

Reply to comment by Scuka1 in LPT: When calculating something such as rent or pay, a month is 4.345 weeks by MikeTorsson
For when combining weekly income and expenses with monthly.
Weekly expenses (fuel, food, etc.) * 4.345 + Monthly Expenses (rent, loans/CC, ISP, etc.) = Total Monthly Expenses
Weekly Income (avg.) * 4.345 = Total Monthly Income.
Compare the 2 to see how F'd you are.

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude
This is definitely an opinion as opposed to a tip

A tire could fall of my wife’s car and she wouldn’t notice.

Reply to LPT: Save at least 1 voicemail from your loved ones. You may just want to hear their voice if they’re not around. by bunnieollie
Got one from my dad before he died and I've gone back to it at least a dozen times in the 11 years since he died. Great advice

Reply to LPT: If you’re getting thirsty and need water, but don’t want to pay for a bottle, go in a fast food restaurant and ask for a cup of water. Depending where you are, it’s free or charge about $.25 USD for the cup. It’s filtered and you can get plenty of refills. by [deleted]

Reply to comment by makegoodchoicesok in LPT Request: How to lose emotions from your face permanently? by todiecena
I started crying in front of my therapist, and then stopped myself and went cold faced, and she noticed and I was mortified. And she’s like “that’s super common among men, I’m not going to call you names like your dad might have, it’s ok to cry here.” Uhh shit. I am found out.

Doesn't work for leap year. That's why (Hours X Pay X 52)/12 is the accounting standard.

If I find that it takes too long to fall asleep, I will try blocking my view of my alarm clock. If I get up to pee, I need to look at the time.
