somethingspecial, 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

I don’t even need that for an endless update or computer locked up scenario. My work-issued laptop has those features built in!

No advice for you, I’ve only flown twice. :/ but they really should have, like, a lock box in the cabin that flight attendants can put all personal items in. That way of you’re just traveling with a carry on, you don’t have to choose between bringing an entire bag to check, or just foregoing some small item. Then, no danger, and you don’t have to check a bag. Just give whatever small item it is to flight crew, they keep it in the cabin until you’re disembarking.

Go back home with your dinosaur friends.

d3Xt3r, in ULPT: If you get paid annual leave and you're definitely going to quit your job soon, ask for a large pay rise first. When you quit, your accumulated annual leave will be paid out at the higher rate

This is pretty much what I did, although it was coincidental. Felt bad for my boss because he fought pretty hard to get a meaty pay rise for me, and then a month later I quit.

electrogamerman,

Dont feel bad for them. The company is doing more money, and if they ultimately give you a rise, that means you were working while you could have made more money.

ericthered926, in ULPT: Upon arriving at an airbnb/hotel, change your phone system date to the date of your checkout, and take a video walkthrough.

Make sure there aren’t any clocks/screens in the video that expose you lol

Could just change the clocks if possible without getting caught

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

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

Thank you, I love this

majkeli, 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.

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

Seemingly small line between “unethical” and “illegal”, eh mate?

Longpork_afficianado, in [Request] How to get a tiny multitool past airport security?

Fly out of smaller airports. International airports put on the whole security theatre with strip searches and sniffer dogs in order to placate the Americans. If you fly out of small regional airports you can arrive 20 ninutes before takeoff and walk straight onto the plane without anything more than a glance at your boarding pass.

A security camera defeats this and can also put you in more legal risk

darcy, in ULPT: If you're a cashier/server/etc, you can increase the amount of tips you get by including more loose coins with the customer's change.

or just give them more change than they need

I’d personally recommend liberal use of chatgpt for your resume and cover letter

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.
