Why YSK: In 1923 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the Mississippi River as the dividing line for station call letter identification. Any station East of the river starts with a "W" as in WLTW in New York. Any station in the West starts with a "K", such as KQED in California.
Why YSK: For $6 I got a large bottle of sesame seeds. The tiny bottle of McCormick is almost $4. The quantity difference might be over 50x the seeds for an extra 2 dollars. They also support local people better than your regional chain. I used an entire bottle of cumin and other Indian spices for…
Why YSK: basically it's a d*ck move to make, especially when it's someone close to you because it shatters the trust between you on a whole different level. It causes people to stop confiding in you. Don't do it, even if the other person is the one in the wrong.

Why YSK; I hear a lot of people downplay school and hype up trades. While for some trades may be the best way to a successful future, this does not hold true for everyone. I’ve trained dozens of people and watched at least %80 wash out after claiming they could handle it. Why? It’s hard,…

Why YSK: There is a HUGE difference between migraines and tension headaches. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache though most people unknowingly refer to them and treat them as migraines. Migraines are a neurological problem and tension headaches are more of a muscular problem.…
Why YSK: 1.) Insurance will ALWAYS try to offer low first, sometimes leaving you with a balance owed on your old vehicle loan or leaving you unable to replace your vehicle with a vehicle of similar value. 2.) They may also try to force you to repair a vehicle which is so damaged that it will be…

Why YSK: Tap water, which is used to fill a toilet's water tank, can contain a lot of calcium hardness in it. If left unchecked, over time, calcareous buildups will form pretty much everywhere in the toilet's flushing system, which will damage the gaskets and other components in it. This also goes…
Why YSK: Bleach degrades over time into its constituent parts. It doesn't become more dangerous but it will absolutely lose its potency, thus limiting it's cleaning capabilities. If you're having a hard time getting bleach to work as you'd expect, think back to how long ago you bought it, as it…
Why YSK: "While it’s not considered an 'addiction' in the usual sense, your body can become dependent on the drug. Doctors call this phenomenon 'rebound congestion,' or rhinitis medicamentosa [https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(06]01370-4/fulltext), and it is a very real problem. In…
Why YSK: Most ceiling fans are capable of warming a room which is counterintuitive. On a lot a fans there's a switch somewhere on the side that can be either up or down, flipping this switch will switch the blades rotation so instead of blowing air down, it sucks air up (so having some space…
Why YSK: as a caregiver it is incredibly important to keep children safe. If you want to have a dog in your family it is important to teach kids how to interact with dogs safely. EDIT: Yes! People should train their dogs! But also it’s really important kids are taught certain elements of how to…

YSK: Some hospitals in the USA will offer significant discounts if you can prove your income is low.
Why YSK: Healthcare in the USA can be very unaffordable and has the potential to financially ruin people. Not many people are aware that some hospitals will offer discounts to your bill. You MUST ASK for these discounts, they aren't handed out like candy. Some discounts may be applied simply…
Why YSK, wary and leery both mean "cautious about a potential problem". Weary means "tired". Over and over you see people say they are "weary" of a problem, that's because they are conflating wary and leery, two words that means roughly the same thing, but combining those words leaves you with…
Why YSK: Some soap companies are changing their formula because so many people wash dishes now one by one, by putting dish soap on the sponge and then scrubbing with running water, rather than filling the sink. If you don’t have a 2 part sink, it makes it harder to wash by hand (maybe consider…
Why YSK: Nearly every office I've ever been in has done so many boring, repetitive things by hand. Spending just a couple of days learning the basics of a scripting language like Python can cut hours of tedious work out of your routine. Computers are really good at monotonous things, so if there's…

Why YSK: This is especially useful when you need to save multiple versions of a file over time and can quickly reference the date from the file name instead of “date modified” or “date created”. For example, if I save a file today, I would name it “Example Text 20211203”. If I needed to save a new…
Why YSK: there are a lot of situations where driving fast is safer than driving slow. For example if you're passing something, especially something like a truck with high winds, it's safest to pass it as quickly as possible. I always use the rule of thumb that passing should take 10 seconds…
TL;DR: Tortillas fresh out of a bag/package are not fully cooked. Heating them on a hot non-stick, flattop, plancha, or well seasoned cast iron pan for 30 seconds to a minute on each side until light browning and warm/hot is essential for enjoying the tortillas. Store in a clean folded towel or…
Why YSK: Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) have an unbelievably difficult job. Framing your frustration as being the fault of the company, and not the CSR personally is not only the kind thing to do, it also increases the odds that the rep will go above and beyond to help you since you are…

Why YSK: This popular New Years resolution is just around the corner. Too much focus is put on the workout itself without addressing the real problem of why so many start and then quit. Everyone struggles, but some have sourced the key, the right mental gymnastics to continue the regimen despite…

Why YSK: We’re beginning to realise the importance of self-care and investing in our mental wellness early enough, instead of reaching for treatment when things have already gone awry. While professional help is probably always the best option (if you can afford it), technology can surely play a…
Why YSK: make sure that your yearly salary increase is at least that of inflation. Otherwise, it’s a pay cut. Inflation is often shown as year over year percentage change. Do not be fooled by the government when the inflation is “transitioned” into 2% the following year. For example, an item that…
Why YSK: Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the "silent killer" for a reason. It's odourless and colourless, so it's very hard to detect. For this reason, it's always a good idea to ensure your fire detector/smoke alarm also has CO detection (most of the newer fire detectors come standard with this…
In case you‘re using Revolut, I recommend you to take a look at the app‘s privacy settings. The third point under the „marketing“ section allows them to share data such as „name, email address and app events with social m*dia and advertising platforms“, and the toggle is turned on by default. Why…

Why YSK: So many journal articles in science specifically are locked behind extreme paywalls, especially recently published papers with exciting information. I've seen paywalls that range from $50-$200 just to get access to one article. SciHub was founded by a Kazakhstan woman, Alexandra Elbakyan,…
Why YSK: If you’re trying to calm down, especially during a panic attack, diaphragmatic or belly breathing is what will help you relax. Thoracic or chest breathing is better for physical exertion and may actually make you more tense. (Source: Mayo Clinic) [https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy…

YSK that the color of the warning lights on your car's dashboard indicate the urgency of the problem
Some cars have weird, confusingly shaped lights on the dash, or maybe you just didn't read the manual. Either way, you don't necessarily need to know what every light means as long as you pay attention to the color. Green: Non issue, just a notification. Things like fog lights, or ready to move on…
Why YSK: There is usually a switch on the fan that changes the direction the fan spins. Due to the pitch of the blades this changes the direction air flows. In summer, blades are supposed to spin counter-clockwise and this creates a downdraft to help cool. In winter, blades are supposed to spin…
Why YSK: Many people use 's to pluralize words. This is incorrect. The only time you should ever use an apostrophe is for contractions (don't, haven't, she's) to make something possessive (Dave's), or for pluralizing lowercase letters (dot your i's).
Why YSK: If you're looking for deals from private parties, or selling something as a private party, the meeting place for the transaction should be somewhere safe. Police stations are just about the safest place you can meet publicly, and also act as a filter against people with bad intentions. I'm…
Why YSK: It can be tempting to use a fire extinguisher for fun, and just put it back when you're done, but most fire extinguishers don't seal completely once the handle has been pressed, and will continue to leak until they eventually run out of pressure. You should always get a new fire…
Why YSK - to all the teens and young people out there reading this, you don't need to consume alcohol to socialize and have a good time. Advertisements will try to convince you otherwise, so that you become addicted to their product.
Why YSK: Phone solicitors -- automated and otherwise -- aren't interested in wasting time keeping someone on the line who isn't likely to actually spend money. So if you receive a call from an unknown phone number which sounds like it might be a recorded advertisement, then turn the tables on them…
Why YSK: * You may be considering purchasing down-insulated products during the holiday season * You may not know that the geese and duck feathers may be plucked while they are still alive, often several times over the course of their life. * Even if you aren't vegan, you may not want to…
Why YSK: Finding high quality VSTs can be a pain for producers, especially ones that don’t break the bank. BlueLab is shutting down and all their VSTs are free until the site closes down. This is a great opportunity for producers to jump in and get some high quality VSTs for no charge at all.
Why YSK: For years you have been annoyed at all the album art in your phone gallery. But no more!

Works for getting rid of other app pollution…
I've seen several people on here talk about changing their rating of drivers because they were given one star, so they "one star back". YSK: Uber delays rider (and driver) ratings updates to "protect anonymity" and won't say how long the delay is. But they do a shit job of communicating that to…
Why YSK: You could save thousands upon thousands of dollars by negotiating with potential colleges.

Why YSK: Too often, depressed people pass away or don’t get help because people don’t think they’re depressed. You should check in with all your friends/family members, even if they seem happy. I can speak from personal experience, but can anyone else corroborate this?
Why YSK: This rating will determine the likelihood of you getting picked up during busy times and when getting long rides. Be nice to your drivers and don't be the drunk asshole!
Why YSK: Black Friday is here with retailers offering "discounts" but this applies no matter what the time of the year. If you want to buy something, put it on a list and keep track of the price (tools like CamelCamelCamel (Amazon only), and TopPreise (Switzerland) can help here). If there's a…

I posted this same subject a couple years ago, but I recently saw a post on Reddit discussing the outrageous costs of gyms people were paying so i figured I would share again. New Years is around the corner and that means that many people start going to the gym again or start at the gym for the…
Why YSK: Although toothpastes and mouthwashes can never “rebuild” teeth, they can contribute to this remineralization process. So take care of your teeth before you're condemned to a life of sensitive teeth, and pain. It's especially important to brush before going to bed. Citation:…
YSK you can use code “savethenightct” in the Uber app for $10 off your next 30 rides until 1/14/2022
Why YSK: Title is self explanatory. The code was made for residents of Connecticut but worked for me in Texas. Use this to save some money on Uber during the holidays, don’t drink and drive!
So firstly I need to say a couple of things. I'm not picking on the US, it's just the majority of people on Reddit are from there. I'm from the UK and our reading age is lower at 9 years, so it's not a dunk. Here's a good link which is talking about my…
The US imperial system, actually called the US Customary System, has key differences to the imperial system when it comes to measuring volume. A fluid ounce is 28.41ml in British Imperial but 29.57ml in US Customary units. An imperial pint is 20 fl. oz. compared to 16 fl. oz. in the US and an…

Why YSK: With many airlines strapped for cash, they'll more than likely give you a flight credit and not a refund for a flight that they cancelled. If you wish for a refund, you'll first have to file a complaint with the airline's customer complaint department. If they deny your request, then you'll…
Hanukkah begins in 4 days (Nov 28th) and ends on December 6th. Why YSK: You can come off as ignorant and maybe even rude (to some people) saying ”Happy Hanukkah” 2-3 weeks after the holiday is over. So try to avoid saying it to your Jewish friends on Christmas! Save yourself the…
Why YSK: Many people will probably look at their "downgrade" options on their cable providers website and think that there's just no point in downgrading because of the lack of deals cheaper than what they're already getting. In reality, it's just another shady tactic by cable providers to keep you…
Why YSK: The medical staff that helps you through your appointment or the sales person who helped you find an item and helped you decide which one to buy, these people who go out of their way to meet the company’s customer satisfaction requirements, are more likely to be compensated by the employer…

As a Pediatrician, it's the easiest thing in the world for me to give your child antibiotics (ABX) for what is likely a viral illness. I have dozens of patients each week who come in with symptoms and complaints that are likely a viral illness. I explain in detail viral illnesses to family but in…
Why YSK: From what time you opened them, to how many times you opened them, a lot of emails are sent with trackers that notify the sender when you open them. The sender can also have access to a dashboard that shows them the specifics of your email viewing habits. What you can do about it: there's…

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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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.
