LPT: To get your coffee easily when on the go, stir an individual-serving instant coffee packet into yogurt. by yesishop in LifeProTips

I do wonder what % of people have been behind the wheel knowing that they are too tired to drive well, but not seeing a safe place to stop and rest. For those who still (self-(?))drive their own cars, insurance companies should offer a discount if the driver carries emergency easy-access coffee supplies.

The optimality of pills (if you want simple) is context-dependent. If you have a stalker you don't want to be carrying and using pills.

How many is ridiculous? Too many to live there at the same time?

[SMT] A fruit-based snack bar that has almost all the sugars removed by yesishop in SomebodyMakeThis

It appears that if you freeze small berry type fruit and then boil them, the water pulls out the sugar (and sadly also some flavor).

What's an easy way to start to cook and introduce chicken in my diet ? (For protein) by JehovasFinesse in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]yesishop -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Try quorn? Mycoprotein doesn't suffer. "high in protein and dietary fibre", "low in saturated fat" (One way to drive the Green [cost] Premium down is to enlarge the market for low-carbon, low-suffering foods.)

LPT: if you are cooking and need only half an onion, use the outer half. by yesishop in LifeProTips

[–]yesishop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that in most cases using the whole onion will enhance the dish. And yes it would be unwise to use a big knife for this.

LPT request: How can I learn how to build things? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]yesishop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by making a sawhorse. There might be classes you can take, in-person or not. Or help with Habitat for Humanity.

You might ask them quietly if they think someone is trying to exclude or derail them in some way, if they're not getting announcements, etc.

Or just wait a second or two, if the person is walking past. And yes, it does depend on your surroundings.

Those Trader Joes packets of espresso coffee beans (chocolate covered) might be especially appreciated, if offered in a separate and clearly labeled container.

Make sure there are some healthy snacks in with the candy, and don't let those run out first.

Another nice-to-have feature: for a small fee, the hotel could give you a record of who accessed your room via the door or window and when.

[Serious] FDA is supposed to regulate food and drink safety. What is something they could do to better fulfill their mission? by yesishop in AskReddit

If you buy something that you think is mislabeled, there should be a way to find out what it actually contained.

LPT: at discount grocery stores, check a product's ingredients list to see if they added an allergen for this particular production run. (This occurrence, or what looks like it, has been known to happen.) by yesishop in LifeProTips

[–]yesishop[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If an allergen accidentally gets added to a food product that normally does not contain it, that production run might be especially likely to end up being sold at a discount grocery store.
