Document everything your company sends you on WhatsApp on weekends, because later it'll be easier to claim overtime or prove harassment if it becomes routine. If it's not written in your contract tha…

don't fall for thinking you need a bunch of stuff: a needle, thread and patience solve 90% of the problems. the thing is to practice the basic stitch (that simple up-and-down one) and then you can ta…

This whole crypto and NFT thing with the IRS is a mess because the Tax Authority hasn't given clear guidance yet, so don't fall into the trap of thinking it's automatic like selling stocks on the mar…

The problem is that a tall fence alone won't solve anything with alligators, because they're more dangerous from underneath. You really need to dig deep, like 60-80cm at least, to stop them from digg…

The Sicilian lemon is kind of picky about temperature - if you live somewhere that gets pretty cold in winter, it can go months without flowering at all, and then it really does look like that every-…

what's your budget for that? bluetooth doesn't hurt anything, but the thing nobody mentions is that wired headphones don't get in the way nearly as much as you'd think if you just clip the cable to y…

The thing is, after you fix the leak, the soil is still pretty waterlogged, and grass planted in wet soil rots easily. Better to let it dry out really well before replanting, and then you can take ad…

Pick up a book with fewer than 300 pages to start with - the shorter it is, the less afraid you are of "wasting time" if you don't like it, and you'll quickly figure out what grabs you without spendi…

Did you leave in the middle of the night or just a few hours early? Because if you just left before your shift ended normally, the company can't deduct it - meal vouchers are your right for the day w…

You didn't touch on what really matters in practice: in ju-jitsu you work a lot on the ground (ground game), while in judo the focus is on throwing your opponent and the fight basically ends there, s…

Adjust the angle so it doesn't directly capture your neighbors' windows or doors - then you're totally safe, because filming the street and public sidewalk is completely legal. People want to scare y…

Clean it with a dry cloth or an old brush to get rid of dirt and grime, then apply a bike-specific lubricant (oil or spray) to the sides and between the links. Do this every two or three weeks depend…

never just compare the room price alone - you have to factor in how much you'd spend eating out anyway, and then it changes everything. those guys are right that bad breakfast exists, but there are h…

Usually Positivo bulbs don't have direct support on Google Home, which makes it more complicated. Your best bet is to check if they work via Tuya or some intermediary app - then you can actually link…

Recurring dreams are usually more about your mental state at that moment (stress, anxiety, something that's on your mind) than messages from the universe - it's more likely you're processing somethin…

If you're seeing dengue mosquitoes near the tank or you noticed the water came out with a weird color or smell, then it's urgent. But besides that, it's also worth checking if there are leaves, dirt,…

Lichess is cleaner and runs well even with a bad connection, but if you want lots of lesson content and detailed analysis Chess.com still delivers that better - in the end you just have to try both f…

What nobody mentioned is that it's worth saving leftover used soil and reusing it - cacti aren't that picky and a recycled mix with extra perlite drains really well. Oh, and if the pot doesn't have a…
