Apparently it's up to 1/3 of people using some form of adblocking now!

the internet is insufferable without it, and many people (including some IT people) seem to not even mind it. it blows my mind.

For those that enjoy eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches, use a hot dog bun for the bread. I know, it genius.

My wife recently told me she likes to grab a tortilla, lather it in peanut butter than place a whole banana inside and roll it up. All I can think is that is genius and I have to try it the next time we have the trifecta of extra tortillas, bananas that need eating and a hungry me

Using password managers. All of my friends and family refuse to use them but always complain about getting locked out of accounts due to forgetting login details. I leave them too it now.

Honestly, get them to use the built in password manager in their browser. It's a huge step up from reusing passwords which they're almost certainly doing, so it's a case of not letting perfect be the enemy of improvement

Vote early. Almost every single area in the US has early voting at least 2 weeks before elections. People complain about long lines and lack of ballots on election day. You know what you get if you stumble into a polling place before that? A couple of bored poll workers in an otherwise empty building. You get your ballot, fill it out, and leave within 5 minutes. I seriously don't understand why this isn't used more.

There's been a misinformation campaign for years that early/mail votes "don't count" or get thrown away, so people wait until "real" election day to make sure things are "handled properly"...

Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

Used to work in a public library. Majority of the job was walking people through "forgot password" which was never a simple affair, and getting to see what a Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL inbox looks like with like 90,000 unread because they gave their email to every store and web form they ever encountered.

Near drove me to madness.

When you come home after a night of heavy boozing, just chug an entire liter of water before you go to bed. It prevents the worst part of the hangover, headaches, which are just from dehydration.

Some good kebab helps too, probably due to the fat and salt, but water over kebab, if you have to choose.

Yeah, I find having something to eat helps too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Could be a double edged sword, just make sure you don’t miscalculate and end up with “twice the taste no calories”.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

This used to work for me but these days the only way it works is if I pace myself with a big glass of water in between each alcoholic drink. The "chug a liter before bed" only somewhat helps now, but barely.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

This also should be the norm. It doesn't even reduce your drunkness, just makes it more enjoyable and less unconfortable
