Armaell, in ULPT: If you do office work and want to get some time for yourself, head to fakeupdate.net and enter fullscreen to simulate an endless windows update

Then collegues says: "Oh there's a windows update!" and try to do it too but can't find it.

Crickets

UprisingVoltage,

I’ve never met a soul eager to update windows

Greenbubbleb0y, in ULPT: if you’re stuck on an annoying call, put your phone on airplane mode instead of just hanging up.

How can I do this at work at the call center. Pull the Ethernet cables? XD

burrp, in ULPT: Using Teams and want to stop your status from going Idle? Start a meeting using “Meet now” on teams and change your status to Available.

I leave mine on Appear Away most of the time. People in my work area know they can message me anytime. People who think I’m away will not expect an immediate reply.

investorsexchange, in ULPT: Find and befriend your co-workers that don't drink, because if there's ever a work function with drink tickets, you can try to get theirs.

As someone who doesn’t drink, this is good advice. I was always happy to give my drink tickets to someone who would enjoy them.

sharksrtrans, in ULPT: If you live in a building where you have to pay for the use of shared washer/dryer, look up your buildings washer/dryer model on eBay and order a key for it.

Hard part is when they have a coin lock that requires a key w/a serial number

tom, in ULPT: If you live in a building where you have to pay for the use of shared washer/dryer, look up your buildings washer/dryer model on eBay and order a key for it.

This is going to come in handy in future!

Thank you, I love this

TisBe, in ULPT Whenever buying something online, try using the coupon code "military". Many sites have a military discount and don't require any proof of military service.

Damn this makes me sad. If this catches on, I’m might to have to stop giving a military discount. I felt it was my duty. I have given military discounts for the last 12 years because the US military under pays those folks that volunteer to give their lives for my freedom to run my business. I run a micro business and that discount can really effect my bottom line. I’m really tired of getting screwed because I tried to do right by the people that protect me.

If you are living in the US, i can assure you, military ain’t protecting you from anyone. USA as a whole is not about protecting, but attacking and killing others.

If it’s abused it will be removed as a perk and military folks won’t be able to use it.
