Reply to comment by superseriousaccount5 in LPT: After every mechanic visit, drive your vehicle around for 10 to 15 minutes extra before going back home. by TheMasterBaker01
Normally, not very long because you don't use the battery much except to start the engine. If you do anything to draw the battery down (listen to the radio or leave your lights on without the engine running), it only takes a few minutes if you have a good battery. If your battery is getting weak, it takes a little longer but still not very long

Ok, now you're arguing for the sake of arguing. If you can't figure out what OP and I are saying, I can't help you

It's not at all ambiguous. Drive a consistent speed and avoid hard acceleration and braking whenever possible. On a multi lane road, stay in one lane as much as you can. In short, don't drive like a jackass

Reply to comment by RedditismyBFF in LPT Request: I find it difficult to form fluid speech. How can you improve your cognitive function when it comes to conversation skills and concentration? by rwtr00
That's what I'm thinking too. Especially when you consider they were on meds that allowed them to think clearly and reverted after coming off the meds

Reply to LPT Request: How do I, as a 32 y/o, invest/develop myself for a better financial future? by sea_salts_
The first thing you should do is invest in yourself, you don't have to wait 10 years to start a career. Go back to school or learn a trade. Learn a skill that will allow you to earn more money.
After you start earning more money, start a savings account. Ideally, you'll have 3-6 months of expenses saved up. After that, you can really start investing in your future. I don't know if employers in the UK have retirement accounts like a 401k but that's an easy place to start and it's potentially free money. You can also do self funded investment accounts

Reply to LPT: When someone you know casually loses someone, read the obituary and comment on something specific. by dbsgirl
That would probably come across as extremely insincere or insensitive. If you have to read the obituary just to have something to say and you don't want to add to the "sorry for you loss" pile, just don't say anything

Reply to LPT: Give Maximum Effort at Work - Even if it's not Appreciated by chuckdooley
Everyone that's saying this is bad advice because fuck corporations or minimum wage minimum effort isn't paying attention and reading what OP actually said. They're saying to make the best of a bad situation and learn what you can while you're there, not to try and leverage a raise from a shitty boss, but to leverage more money from your next job.
Most people have at least one shitty job in their life, usually more than one. If you have a shitty job and you aren't actively looking for another job or taking steps to learn more skills to get a better job, you only have yourself to blame. Before anyone says companies should be forced to pay a living wage, I want you to ask yourself one question: what do you think is going to change first, your job or corporate pay policies?
