Reply to comment by TheGr8Hammbino in LPT: You don't need a car loan. Seriously. by dvlpr404
after the car is paid off and starts needing maintenance, will you do that? or buy a new car all over again to ''avoid'' said maintenance?

Reply to LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers by flutterbyasaurus
I'm in marketing, with extensive email marketing experience. You'd be surprised at how much we can track based on a single open of your email. Even better is when you click a link with all the tracking info included in the URL string.
There's also platforms like HotJar that can look at someone's browsing habits in real-time if they happen to be on a particular website that has their script installed. Admittedly, I haven't used HotJar within the last two years or so...maybe they changed that feature by now because of privacy concerns? But yeah, back in the day I could see exactly where visitors were on our website and every action they took. You can also see larger amounts of visitor data in a heatmap format in order to see things like scroll depth, if users are clicking what you want them to click etc.
You'd be surprised at what can be tracked...

Thunderbird blocks all remote content of emails by default unless you specifically allow content from the email you are viewing. (Unless you change the setting)

Great advice! It feels much better to know that you have said it to the person him/herself than to those attending the funeral.

My best friend died at 25. His family wasn’t big on taking photos. I had to get my moms photos (she was a photo bug) of us when we were growing up to help with the service. It was the strangest experience having more photos with me in them than him with his family.

The real LPT is to sleep early or right after brush 😁

May I add that many of us avoid being in pictures because we struggle with our appearance - worry about bad angles, extra weight, no makeup on, etc. Get in the picture anyway.
I recently went to another family's party & they had a photo collage. In many photos, my friend (the mom of the family in question) looked great in all of them! Despite being freshly awakened in one, a little heavy (with a new baby) in another, no makeup in some. But she looked so happy in all of them, because she was with the family that she loves.
It really inspired me to let go of some of the vanity & enjoy special & everyday occasions a little more, without worrying about how I'll look in the photos. I also try to, after a few snaps, to get whoever is taking the pics to put down the camera & come join the fun!

Reply to LPT: In addition to wanting to hire a person who is qualified, hiring managers also want someone they can see themselves working closely with, so don’t forget to bring a good personality too. by NotWeirdThrowaway
Been there, also been the hiring manager in that case. Training a positive person is much easier than hiring someone with a negative personality. Don't be afraid to apply for jobs you're underqualified for, even if it requires a certain degree (except the medical field)

Yeah, seems obvious. We also reuse the tags.

Another LPT:
If you are the person that always takes pictures at the family gatherings, make sure someone gets a picture of you as well. It's easy to forget that no one sees you when you are behind the camera.

Yes a good tip, and also, I am so glad I took digital pictures of the contents of our family photo album when our mother went in to an old peoples home (we are three surviving brothers, and one of the others lost the actual book when moving house). They were the basis of the background at Moms funeral, and her sole living sister was delighted to see pictures from their childhood onwards.

I got you
Fetch()
it's a function in JavaScript (and some other languages) for interacting with a database, especially with APIs (Application Programming Interface). These interactions include acquiring/pulling/fetching data, uploading data, editing data, and deleting data.
Since API is a loaded term and I'm not sure how familiar with computer science you are let's think of it like meal prepping. When you meal prep you create a large portion of a meal that you can pull from into any meal you feel like making that day. An API is similar in nature. An API is created by developers with code or processes they expect to need down the road.
For example if I want to pull data from a database I would create an API that allowed me to just pull from the database. Now that I've created an API to pull from the database other developers can use my API in their programs to pull from the database without having to reinvent what I just made. It saves time just like meal prepping.
Hope this answered the things!

A better tip is to take these pictures NOT during special events but normal everyday situations. Candid is even better, so not posed, especially if you don't like being in pictures.

There’s also a personal device women can buy for their keychain and you can set off an alarm. I think it’s called She Birdie.
