There is a larger size, specifically for grease filtering ( 10" diameter ) that I use in making maple syrup as liners to extend the useful life of my final stage micropore & wool filters. These can be purchased from catering supply stores for well under $1 each.

Coffee filters are amazing for cleaning electronics too. Absorbent, strong, just the right amount of abrasiveness, AND LINT FREE. I use them on my glasses, lenses and even fiber optics in a pinch.

It also helps that they are stupid cheap, and available everywhere. There are stacks of them in every home and office and can be bought at just about any supermarket or convenience store.

Why should I care about what happens after I'm gone?

If you have a loved one who always runs from being captured, why pursue?

Knowing this should push you to find other ways to remember them, rather than causing them discomfort.

We all have memories without cameras.

I have transcended this LTP by having no one who wants pictures of me, my boundaries shall be tested by none

Also, in case you get acussed of murder it gets you a solid alibi

wish i knew this like a year ago :(

Bad advice. If anything, undercook by a couple minutes.

This is what I told people about politicians they don't like. You give them free publicity by complaining about them so much.

It feels SO GOOD to not care and not let yourself be drawn in

Pass. I don't want to be remembered. I want to be just another statistic when I pass. Thanks!

As the passport holder when we travel, this is a good idea. My cross-body purse is safer than anybody's backpack, back pocket or shirt pocket as it has inner zipped compartments, and I always keep passports in there. Every time we needed to show them (to board a plane, to get on a ferry, to register at hotels, to enter certain museums and attractions - all stuff we did recently) I had to open them to see who they belonged to. Some places require everyone to show their own passports, regardless of age. A color coded post-it note would work as well.

"Do things you're not comfortable with for the sentimental benefit of other people after you are dead with nothing to gain"

I'm sorry, but are you trying to shame someone who lost their mother and grieving over the fact they have so few pictures of them? Work on your empathy. He is totally allowed to selfishly wish they took more photos.

...that time they found a 250 meter long 130 ton fatberg in London...

Not just photos make videos too.

My dad passed away 3 months ago and though I have a lot of photos of him I only have a couple of video where he is the one behind the camera, it hurts so much that I can never hear his voice again.

I don't think it matters given that there are so many news outlets these days. I have blocked a few of them in my news app but new ones keep popping up with new cringy stories.

LPT: Don't guilt people into doing something they don't want to do.

Wouldn't call it a "better" tip... Nothing wrong with taking non-candid pictures to celebrate a specific event/moment.

Most people believe dumpster divers are looking for food and similar.

That's true in low income areas.

If you live in a medium-high income area, AKA where you don't usually see homeless people around and you can't really tell where the dumpster divers are coming from since you don't really see any person that would look like one around, you're an easy target for scammers, con artists, and fraudsters.

How does this work? What does dumpster diving have to do with it?

Amazon.

People in medium to high income areas have tons of packages delivered to them from Amazon (and other companies) all the time. These dumpster divers aren't looking for food, glass to resell, or anything like that... They want your empty envelopes and boxes.

Why?

The envelopes and boxes have your address, sometimes your phone number and your full name on them. Sometimes, depending on how you do your shopping, they can get the info from you, and someone else living on the same household.

So what?

Say you live with your son and you both have ordered stuff online and both of you threw away the envelopes or boxes the stuff came in. They will be looking at your house until they see your son leave, then they will call you, and make up any kind of story (mentioning your son's full name, address, number as "proof" that he is with them) and try to get money out of you.

I've had them call me telling me my son crashed and they want me to reinburse for the damages or they'll call the cops cause he's drunk, they've said they have kidnapped him, they've told me he got in a fight and killed someone so they need me to pay them to let him go, and a bunch of other stories.

I found out all of this from the police dpt directly after reporting the scam calls I'd been receiving.

How do you stop them?

Tear apart all of your personal info from envelopes and boxes before disposing of them, then put them in a separate bag when throwing them out. They'll grab the bag with the envelopes and such leaving the rest alone and will eventually leave you alone as they realize they won't get any more info from you anymore.

No. My body, my choice.
