You Should Know ~ by dreamcore angels.

1. Use the volume button to take photos in your camera app: (Photography)
It's tough to reach the on-screen shutter button while holding your phone with one hand, and doing so can lead to some very expensive mishaps. Instead, wrap your fingers all the way around your phone and press the either volume button with your thumb or index finger to take a photo.

2. The Difference Between Poaching, Simmering, and Boiling (Cooking)
Understanding these three basic water-based cooking techniques can drastically improve your results in the kitchen. Knowing when to poach versus boil can mean the difference between a perfectly tender egg and a rubbery disaster, or juicy chicken versus dry shoe leather.

The Key Differences Come Down to Temperature and Bubbles:
Poaching (160°F–180°F / 71°C–82°C): barely any movement in the water — no bubbles, maybe a shimmer. Best for delicate foods like eggs, fish, or chicken breasts. Keeps proteins tender and prevents them from overcooking or falling apart.
Think: that gentle spa bath for your ingredients.
Simmering (185°F–205°F / 85°C–96°C): Small bubbles gently rising to the surface — not a full boil. Ideal for soups, stews, sauces, braising, and long-cooked dishes.
Allows flavors to meld without toughening meat or breaking starches.
Boiling (212°F / 100°C): Big, rolling bubbles. Water is at its hottest point under normal pressure. Great for pasta, potatoes, blanching veggies, or reducing liquids quickly.
Too harsh for most proteins — boiling eggs is fine, but boiling chicken? Not so much:*

3. USB C And USB C Extended Tip Are Two Separate Standards. (Technology)
Devices that are classified as rugged or weather resistant can opt for USB C Extended Tip standard that allows them to recess the port further up into the device to protect it. So if you've ever tried to use a regular USB C charger cable and it seems too short to make a connection, it's just the wrong cable. USB C extended tip will work on both types, USB C will only work on regular USB C, and they look VERY similar to each other. Just a couple millimeters difference on the shiny connectors. Both standards are widely available to purchase replacement charger cables.

4. Burnout doesn’t always go away just by resting, it can last for years if not addressed properly, but science shows that even simple routines like spending time in nature can help recovery. (Health)
Many people assume that burnout can be fixed just by resting or taking a break. But long-term research shows that this isn’t always enough. One study followed individuals diagnosed with stress related exhaustion and found that even after seven years, many continued to deal with fatigue, mental fog, and emotional imbalance.
Here’s the full study that tracked long-term outcomes of stress related exhaustion:

Burnout has also been connected to more than just mental fatigue, it can seriously affect physical health. A large scale 2024 review explains how burnout increases the risk of heart problems, blood pressure issues, poor sleep, and long-term psychological distress.
This review article dives into the broad physical and mental health impacts of burnout:

physical and mental impacts of burnout

Thankfully, recovery doesn’t always require complex solutions. Research shows that people who spend just 120 minutes per week in natural settings report better emotional stability and reduced stress.
Here’s the study about how time in nature improves mental health and reduces stress:

Time in nature and stress relief

If you’ve been resting but still feel mentally drained, emotionally distant, or just not yourself, it might be more than ordinary tiredness. Burnout recovery often needs more than sleep, it starts with slowing down, reconnecting with calm environments, and giving your mind space to recover fully.

I think the last one is a bit more important so I will link where the last part of the post is from, in the comments you have other suggestions that can potentially help people so stay safe!
