Why YSK. Employers and employees in almost all states are governed by a set of laws known as "work at will." This means that not only can employers fire you for (almost) any reason or no reason, workers can quit for any reason or no reason. There is no time requirement imposed in either situation,…
Why YSK: Because the very high paying non-executive corporate position you may be applying for may in fact be shortening your tenure. In such companies HR assembles a list of highest earners and they get near the door.
Why YSK: if you scoop flour with your measuring cup directly, the flour will be too compacted and thus result in dense baked goods. You can prevent this by spooning the flour from the bag into your measuring cup, then leveling off with a knife. I didn’t know this until recently and now I understand…
Why YSK? Because like everyone else I too hate to click on a video without knowing the like to dislike ratio and watse my time on clickbait videos. But there is hope open open source projects like Freetube [https://freetubeapp.io] and Newpipe [https://newpipe.net] still shows dislike on videos.…
I recently made the mistake of buying a VISA gift card and giving it as a birthday gift. Not 1 week after the card was purchased and it was already completely used up, even though it hadn’t even been removed from the packaging. Thieves will swipe the info from the card while it’s in the store, wait…
Why YSK: Our stomach produces acid that helps kill food pathogens like bacteria, parasites, etc,¹ but drinking lots of liquids with a meal dilutes that acid ², which makes the acid less effective.³ Plus liquids can flush the pathogens out of the stomach before the acid has had enough time to kill…
Why YSK: You should know because most people neglect cleaning their walls. It won’t hurt your paint and it will make your home interior look newer and smell much nicer.
I hate paywalls, so I searched high and low until I found a website that instantly gets around almost all of them: 12 foot ladder [https://12ft.io]. So far, it’s worked on every website I’ve tried it with. All you have to do is go to the website, then put in the URL, and it opens it for you. It’s a…
Why YSK: It's actually the opposite of helpful to try and help a server load their tray. They are making the correct adjustments with their hand beneath the tray to accommodate the weight each time they set something on it. If you place a random stack of bowls or plates anywhere, the weight balance…
I teach preschool in an elementary school. My school does not pay a lot (31k with a masters degree) but this is just the area we live in, this is how it is- and the cost of living is high. I can’t move to a better area due to family constraints with caring for aging parents. I love my job so much…
Why YSK: I worked several years in IT for a recruiting firm. All of the pay ranges for positions are established with a client before any jobs are filled. Some contracts provide commissions if the recruiters can fill the positions under the pay ranges established for each position, which…
Why YSK: The funds your bank offers you before they retrieve money from the source of the check is referred to as a courtesy. Meaning, they are assuming based on the fact that you endorsed the check that the source of the check is reliable, even if the check you're cashing isn't legitimate. I was…
Why YSK: Indeed is especially guilty of this, not sure about all platforms, but you shouldn’t trust filters like that when you’re job hunting. The platforms will offer something like “indeed email” which is supposed to make your email private. What it actually does, is cut off a few digits/letters…
Why YSK: If you do that and you have a smart phone with the apps hooked up google will call your phone so you can locate it and even if you don't it will pull up websites that will call your phone to locate it. Edit, like when you are signed into google on your phone and have your phone number on…
Why YSK: this is super common in many different types of relationships. I learnt it with my ex. We know that during the good times, it’s really good, and so we hope and tell ourselves that if it could only always be like that, if we could only get it right, then things would be perfect. No. If they…
That other YSK about counterfeit currency made me think of this. YSK that those money marker pens you can get anywhere are ONLY checking the kind of paper the bill is printed on. Why YSK: One common method of counterfeiting money is called 'washing'. They remove the ink from a low denomination…
Why YSK: Years ago I saw a post somewhere about someone finding a cat under their hood after hearing meowing while driving. This morning we moved our car into our driveway after it was parked on the street for a couple days, and heard loud meowing while in our house. I remembered the post and…
Why YSK: If you have a job where you walk/stand a lot having a pedicure semi regularly to have a check up/maintenance is really important. It will prevent serious problems that would take medical attention. Edit: I'm not talking about washing your feet, I'm talking about corns and such
Why YSK: If you want to know when you are being called by a loved one (e.g., for an emergency), but you don't want to be notified by all possible notifications, this option is helpful. Note that it won't work for texts, only calls. It does ignore the silent-mode switch, too, meaning if they call you…
Why YSK? Removing the label before recycling them allows them to be accepted at all aluminum recycling centers and keeps aluminum from being wasted. I was reading this article [https://www.westword.com/restaurants/ball-beer-can-shortage-12815172] today and it mentioned that shrink-wrapped aluminum…
Why YSK: Don't restrict your diet of a potentially beneficial food because the test said you are "extremely sensitive" or any other form or sensitive to it. My doctor said the way they test for it by exposing your blood to a certain food and looking for increased levels of IgG is not reliable…
Why YSK: if you think you have fake cash, don’t ask the bank to check it for you. If it’s fake, they are legally not allowed to return it. They are also not going to give you $ to replace it.
Why YSK: Password security is extremely important and most people don't are completely unware because they are being lied to about their password strength. Obviously a password with 8 characters is harder to crack than a password with 4 characters, that much is true. And common passwords like…
Why YSK: Google voice still provides all the services that a cell carrier provides, but you need to have a data connection(wifi or cell data plan). It's nice to not have to message all your contacts about a new number if you change it for some reason... or maybe you're going to be traveling and…
Why YSK: Many people benefit from cannabis for pain relief, help with anxiety and depression, or recreational use. It can be beneficial and have very few side effects, but if you have too much by accident it can be very unpleasant, and even traumatizing. If you are of age and in a legal location,…
Why YSK: A wide misconception is that most significant passenger airplane crashes are completely fatal for all of the passengers. This is entirely untrue. Of all airplane crashes with fatalities, only a small percentage result in the total loss of life. During cruising altitude, wearing your…
Why YSK: the largest group of harassment towards the anti-work movement is a lot of contrarian rhetoric trying to “poke holes” into the logic of the movement by latching onto the word “work” and using the most disingenuous definition of it. When you hear the phrase “If you love what you do, then…
Why YSK, because theives can use a scanner and a simple laptop or device to get the signal from your keyless car key to unlock your car and the device will mimic the signal so they can drive off. The Faraday pouch will stop all signal getting out so even if you're next to your car you'll notice you…
Why YSK: it's in the title but i had to write something here or the uppity bot known as autom*d will delete this.
Why YSK: If you are ever contacted on your phone by someone that you have never done business with before, and that you don't know in real life, one good way to test their validity is to ask them to do business over some web conferencing software like Google Meet or Webex instead of the phone or…
Why YSK: Combined with hormonal (estrogen-based) birth control, your risk of developing a blood clot when you have Factor V can be upwards of 30%. Why they do not screen for these disorders before prescribing BC is a mystery to me. I found out the hard way when, at 40, I developed a massive DVT clot…
Why YSK: you might still be able to make dishes with cheese if you are lactose intolerant. A thorough or complete cheese has little or no lactose in it, so you don’t have to limit yourself necessarily. Milk is made up of two proteins; casein and whey. The whey is where the lactose is. When you make…
Why YSK: If you never considered skipping your period forever because you didn't know it was possible, and you would like to do so, talking to your doctor about it and potentially starting on treatment if they say it is safe for you, could have you avoid decades of dealing with menstruation which is…
Why YSK: I’ve talked to hundreds of people with relationship struggles (abusive, loveless, etc). They often think that having a kid will fix it, it won’t! Pregnancy is a huge responsibility, and it can put a strain on bad relationships. It’ll just end poorly for your relationship and the child.…
Why YSK: With this setup, you don't have to dig out your external hard drive every time you want to use it. This is common practice for businesses, although they would use a NAS as it works better for multiple users. instructions [https://au.pcmag.com/storage/86053/running-out-of-room-on-your-pc…
WHY YSK: I work in the advertising industry, and we parse literally every word on packaging and in commercials in order get as close to lying as possible. For example, if you see the word "chocolatey" in big letters on a box of candy, but not chocolate - there is no chocolate in the candy. Right…
Why YSK: Humans are social creatures, and sometimes a simple smile can go a long way in turning someone's day better. Use this website to bring an tablespoon of wholesomeness to your, or maybe a struggling friends day.
Why YSK: It is a common tactic to get more people into the pyramid scheme. MLMs are a way to roleplay or LARP as a successful "business owner"- not a path to actual success. They are predatory and a vast majority of people in them either lose money or make far less money than they would have with a…
Why YSK: I learned this early in my legal career. My county did not have a public defender, but instead would assign criminal defense cases to all of the firms in the county on an as-needed basis. The attorneys, as a service to the community (and to stay on the good side of the judges), would take…
Why YSK this is because not only do seat belts save lives, but in most states (if not all) it is required by law for all occupants to use them. This is even more important if you're using child-seats. If you have a faulty seat belt, contact the closest dealership for your make of vehicle and…
Why YSK: Credit/bank card companies only care about protecting against the misuse of their card. Calling the "If lost call +1 800.." number will not assist you in returning it to the owner. Better to hand it to the police directly.
Why YSK: you have no idea who is behind you or trying to pass you, and especially in the US where ambulances are often not called during an emergency, the person trying to get around you may be in a very dire situation. Ive been in the car w a 1 year old baby with an impacted bowel and we got stuck…
Why YSK: Regardless if you are own alimony, you forgot to pay by credit card, or the German government did not receive a 10 EUR parking ticket payment because they lost the transaction in a jammed fax machine paper. For that, they can block your bank account with all your money through court, and…
Why YSK: Your data is constantly being collected and sold without your knowledge. While there is no federal law guaranteeing the erasure of your data, many companies will comply regardless, either because of company policy or through compliance of non-federal law. If any of these companies have…
Why YSK: It helps us to determine what to do with the item. Although not as strict as other departments, we still have a rate. It isn't feasible to open every item, so the more descriptive your return reasons are the better. Example: Some return items will be a shelf, a desk, a light fixture, etc.…
Why YSK: Nowadays the auto save doesn't let you say 'dont save' easily and also the number of undo steps are limited in various softwares.
Why YSK: The Kleiman v Wright trial addresses 1.1 million early mined bitcoins that are in the possession of Satoshi Nakamoto. Ira Kleiman is suing Craig S Wright, claiming that half of those coins are rightfully the posthumous property of his brother Dave Kleiman. Craig S Wright is defending his…
Why YSK: I'm not a stickler for definitions, but some people are. Know that the definition of "nonplussed" is "unsure about what to say, think, or do" and not an intuitive interpretation of "non" and "plussed" as many people seem to think it is. This could save you from looking silly at work or in…
Why YSK: When being pulled over by the police, if you put them at ease and make their job a little easier, you're much less likely to receive a ticket unless you were doing something stupidly egregious. Being respectful and proper will go a long way towards getting you out of the ticket that you…
Why YSK: It can be very hurtful and disrespectful to call someone who is introverted or doesn't like spending time with large groups of people "Antisocial" Asocial: Not social; Rejecting, or lacking the capacity for, social interaction. Introverted. Antisocial: Pertaining to Antisocial Personality…
