It's 2025, so it's important to quickly check if a new war has started after every nap!
When importing a database, make sure you've got the space for it.
#lifeprotip: If you accidentally break something glass, try shining a torch horizontally across the floor to help find little shards.
Mon nouveau hobby :
Aller dans une foire à tout, non pas pour acheter des trucs, mais pour refourguer en douce des trucs à moi dans les stands présents sur place.
When configuring #DNAT rules, don't forget to specify the interface you want them to act on.
Definitely when using common ports like 80/443.
I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my web traffic from a vm was no longer working, but everything else was. There is a DNAT rule on the host...
#LifeProTip When adding a shelf above/at/to the head-board of a bed, do *not* use "French cleats", instead of proper screws and screw-holes, as they offer zero resistance against forces from below, like your head bumping against the shelf when having a rough awakening. Do *not* ask how I know, but rest assured that *I* would never add a shelf *there* in the first place.

#LPT : When traveling, take antibacterial wipes with you. Don't use that crusty hotel TV remote without cleaning it first.
Two sure ways to taste abundance:
1. By being generous to others.
2. By allowing ourselves to feel gratitude for the things that we have.
Sip of water when thirsty. A bite of food when hungry. A warm bed to snuggle in. Somone to embrace. An honest conversation.
The opportunity to uplift someone, no matter how little.
Especially in times of confusion, uncertainty, darkness.
This is our birthright and available daily.
LPT: stash your drugs in multiple places. That way, when you're unexpectedly out of purse drugs you can take desk drugs.
This message brought to you by me, thinking I'd have to go the day without my brain meds, only to find surprise brain meds in my work desk.
(Also, I need to replenish my purse drugs) #lpt #lifeprotip #takeyourmeds

#Lifeprotip: if your salad bowl is way too full, you can just use your hands to mix it!
Discovered this just now, coindicentally after making bread yesterday. I suppose I still had the muscle memory in my hands.
LPT: If you have a car, quit messing with jumper cables and get a rechargeable jump starter.
It’s that time of year, where it’s bitter cold — 10°F or -12°C tonight — and that weather separates the good car batteries from the old car batteries. Twice today, I was charging my car at a gas station (ironic, right?) and someone couldn’t start their truck. The first guy didn’t have jumper cables. The second guy did, but the other car couldn’t give his dead battery enough power.
Enter me, with my rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Clamped it to the battery terminals and their trucks started right up. (Okay, fine. The second guy needed two cranks.) Two quick jump starts, and my battery pack was only down to 70%, and that’s after it sat in the cold car for months.
This advice goes double for EV or hybrid owners. Those cars can *accept* a jump start if the 12-volt battery is low, but they cannot *give* a jump start, because that would overload the inverter and risk frying sensitive and expensive electronics. (Read the owner’s manual.) Having a pack can help others, but also help you! It’s also a giant phone battery if you need it.
And let’s face it. Jumper cables are the ultimate life hack, but they are intimidating. They sit in your trunk until you have an emergency, and then you have to remember how they hook up (to a ground on the dead car, not the negative terminal). One false move and you’re shooting sparks, shorting something, or zapping yourself.

#LifeProTip Whenever I microwave anything except plain water, I nuke it at 50% power for twice as long. Food cooks more evenly, with fewer hot spots (and "pizza burns") using duty-cycle modulation this way.
This is also my approach to sex.
#Life would be so much easier if I were lazy, stupid, and selfish.
