#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: 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)

Discussions are almost never just "won" outright. Changing someone's mind takes time.

If you present your side thoughtfully, you may already have swayed someone's mind, even if they currently still disagree. People just need time to process their current values and beliefs, given new information and perspectives.

Resting the dough is as important as kneading.

I can recommend the pages of "Picture of the Year" at Wikimedia Commons. To browse through the countless excellent submissions of each year, click on "Candidates" or "Categories", depending on layout of that year. Pictures include both contemporary photography and historical artworks. The amazing thing: every piece is available in super-high resolution, perfect for reproduction. Decorate your living space with something tasteful.

#LifeProTip for all #VSCode users on #linux: If all of the menus at the top of the window look like they came from Google Chrome, you can fix it by going to File > Preferences > Settings > search for "appearance" > Windows: Title Bar Style and set it to "custom". Then restart VSCode. It will make your VSCode window look like a Windows 11 window, but at least it's better than the massive menu items, rounded corners, and other distinctive Chrome design elements that leak through otherwise.
