You can get shaded, polarised, impact resistant glasses with full UV protection designed to be worn all day at a fraction of a price of a 'sports' brand. Miscellaneous Safety glasses are normally certified to recognised international standards and give you good field of view. Designs are also pretty modern.

Miscellaneous Recently, my family was concerned about a dead tree in our yard that seemed like it was about to fall on our house in the next big wind storm. Naturally, my father called our homeowners insurance. He inquired if they'd pay for a tree removal company to come by take it down before it caus

Have them sent to a folder of your choosing and watch your inbox clear up quickly. Also try phrases like "opt out" or "donotreply" to continue eliminating volume. Productivity Not my idea but wow it's been helpful. I recommend putting them all marked as "read" and into a single folder, which you then still check periodically. I'm sure there are bet

Toss with olive oil and salt and roast at 400. Food & Drink Edit: A lot of people are asking about cooking time. I didn't include that because it's very subjective. I like the florets browned and the stems crunchy. 15 minutes at 400 degrees is a good guess for that, but if you like softer veggies and less bro

I'm on a trip with three doctors right now and they're ranting about US ER procedures and prices. Apparently, ERs rarely receive payment. This means that you can call the hospital when you receive the bill and negotiate it down to a much lower price. For instance, my gf negotiated her ex's bill from the ER from $10,000 to $4,000 by guaranteeing payment

Once you start blabbing the cops will write down things you say. Even one slip up or misspoken word can now be used as testimony against you.

You're only training it to ignore you Animals & Pets If your dog doesn't come when called, and you keep calling it while it ignores you, you are LITERALLY teaching it to ignore you when you call it. If you call and they don't come, it's rough, but you gotta stop calling. Then later, at home, work on your recall with the dog, with treats. I learned this from a dog trainer I was dating.
