What is a Life Pro Tip?
A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.
Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.
An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.
Examples of aphorisms:
"A barking dog never bites."
"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."
"All stones are broken stones."

Its how you shoplift cd's. or at least it was back in the day. There is a metal band usually inside the CD or on the back of the CD which has a magnetic metal strip. Running a strong magnet against that strip was how they would disable the anti-theft device. YOU could achieve the same thing using a strong magnet.
This didn't work or tapes or VHS, because a magnet would destroy the content on the tape.
Oh, I should have caught that. I always wondered how strong the magnet would have to be.
