SLPT: Make it easier to pack up after a beach day by throwing all of your plastic and aluminum waste in the ocean

You can tell it's a real life hack by all of the confused and frustrated looks from others for not having thought of it themselves.

SLPT: How to set up an alert (Google?) for someone's obituary

MODS: I tried over at r/AskReddit, but their rules make my question off-limits, and I kinda don't know where to ask this. Remove as you see fit. Thx.

My POS father left when I was two. Never heard from him again. Looked him up recently, and he's still alive. I've had no contact for more than fifty years, and I don't want any. I just wanna know when he dies. His name is (surprisingly) not as uncommon as I thought, but I want to figure out how to automate looking for his obituary. I know where he lives (or lived until a couple years ago), know his spouse's name, etc. How do I set up a search for his obituary that will keep running?

Again, not looking for contact. Just wanna know he's dead so's I can buy my ma some flowers (without telling her why), and lift a glass myself. Thx.

SLPT: If a ring ever gets stuck on your finger you can get it off by not eating for 3 days.

In that amount of time you will probably shed enough weight that it will come off easily.

LPT: If you travel back to 1000 AD and find yourself in a Viking longhouse, keep your praise of Britain and Manchester United to yourself. The Vikings already have opinions about Britain, and those opinions mostly involve boats and fire.

LPT: If you're ever in a firefight, one thing that always seems to work is telling your squad "I need to take an important call". That way you can go to the rear, where you're not bothering anyone and there's less bullets flying around.

SLPT: If you find a lost wallet with money in it, take the money but leave the wallet.

If someone else finds it before the owner, they'd be the first suspect when the owner wonders where the money is.
