“Smoke Alarms Don’t Wake Young Children”: 50 Industry Secrets That May Leave You Surprised

Or just be nice to ppl in general. Not only because you need them.

Be nice with everybody.

IT here, that goes for all departments, not just IT

Just be nice to everyone

This is so true, A maintenance teams can save you hundreds of thousands. I often have clients that say to me, why do we pay you if the equipment never fails. I say yes exactly. Downtime o XYZ machine can cost thousands an hour. The fact the equipment is taken offline for programmed regular service at times when you don't need it so you don't realize and it doesn't effect your profits is what maintenances is.

i had a very large cat with the soul of a gentle dog. he came to me through a rescue because of his diabetes, previous family decided they couldn't deal with it. he also had a dental condition and needed lots of tooth care. because of this he had plenty of vet visits and had to be medically boarded when i was away. any visits where he had to be dropped off early or stay overnight, the vet staff would let him out to roam the waiting room and triage area before they opened for the day so he could get all the loves. on his last day, the visit he couldn't come home from, it took 4 hours because they asked me to stay for a while and let him hang out and get cuddles from everyone. they all took their lunches and breaks with him, everyone wanted a picture cuddling him.

I’m so relieved to hear the patients get extra snuggles by staff! 💕

I've found vets to be super kind and nice.

The vets and technicians were very fond of my mum's late boxer and always greeted him effusively whenever he was in. They absolutely get attached to the pets, but how could you not.

Thank you veterinarians and vet staff! I recently had to have a hen put down after a possum got in the coop and injured her beyond saving, the woman working the counter was so sweet, even when I broke down sobbing 🥲❤️

I dunno, other people I know who got an expensive fridge is way quieter and doesn't give any problems like my newish cheapo one

Bought one that had a water dispenser and ice maker. Because both of these things were options my family would use. I don’t need a tv in my fridge or an app to tell me when the door is open. My house isn’t that big

Well, yeah. There's not much change you can do to the inside of a fridge.

I mean, how the drawers and shelves are configured are pretty important. I would definitely spend more money on a fridge that is going to make it easier to store/access food than one that doesn't.

I don't care. I still like mine. The freezer portion is a drawer at the bottom instead of a door at the top.

We don't have Dawn in Europe. Is it any different from our brands of dishwashing soap??

Best laundry additive for greasy clothes too.

I'm not surprised the U.S government want to "Clean up the oil"

It's a great product but I cannot use anything made by Proctor & Gamble who tests their products on animals

There is a company that will accept donations of human hair to make mats to soak up oil spills - and they are very effective.

It was a great!

I suspect that the people who were there with someone other than their spouse kept their seats when the call for a group photo came.

Diamonds were never the rarest of gemstones. Big, controlling interests such as DeBeers created such a stranglehold on the market and created so many myths and advertising campaigns that they were able to create the demand, set the prices, and create the conditions for so many blood diamond conflicts. It's all business tactics.

Don't call them "real" call them "mined". Lab grown diamonds ARE real diamonds.

Oh yeah I did a whole school project on this, I'm going to ask my future boyfriend, if we're serious enough, to please get me a ring with a lab grown diamond

Okay, but can I still think they're pretty?

As long as you don’t feed your lab grown diamond after midnight, it really is the better option.

I'm always shocked by posts like this, being reminded of how apparently easy it is in the US to use someone else's social security number for fraudulent purposes. Where I've lived (four different European countries) the equivalent number in each country has almost no power at all, so I couldn't care less if it were used for things like this. Although it's not, the customs form is filled in by the sender, not the recipient.

I've never heard of this form, so I don't know if this is the case here, but 99 times out of 100 when a form asks you for your social security number, you can leave it off. Your bank, jobs, and some types of insurance will require your social security number. Your kids school does not need yours or theirs. Your doctor does not need it. I've never had a doctor say that they would not treat me because I didn't put it down. In Florida, schools are legally required to ask for it, but they cannot legally require you to fill it in. I used to work for a company that provided security services to schools, and apparently breaking into school computer systems to steal people's identities as a huge problem. Not only will they steals once identity, they'll take out credit cards lying about the person's age, that person will have bad credit before they even turn 18. They try to apply for their first credit card, and find out that they owe tons of thousands of dollars that they were never aware of.

" need to provide a 5106 you're better off getting a llc " ...... yeah you lost me there, but i don't care, it's not relevant to me

I feel like it is important to add that all companies that deal with personal data, like socials, have regulations in place to protect that information and have regulatory boards they answer to. During COVID, all of these regulations had to be relaxed. A huge part of return to office is about regulations. People in office with your personal information are much safer than people at home with your personal information.

Same for health insurance companies. I work for a dental office but it's wild. Just to know some random dude in the Philippines/India/Backwoods USA has your full name, DOB, SSN, home address, phone number, employer (if you get your plan from work) and all basic info for your spouse and kids. Just some entry level dude who works a thankless job for an uncaring corporate overlord could soooooo easily sell/abuse your info.

That is so weird. When my toddler was a 1 year old, they would so this: smoke alarm would go and she would sleep through it; I walk by her room while talking on the phone, she would wake up crying and screaming.
