Apparently they don’t meet EU safety standards 🤷‍♀️ #safety #paris #safetyfirst #cars #cybertruck #pov #travel #eu

I’m just trying to catch a flight, not a virus 😅 Here’s a few things I won’t do at airports. It’s not that they’re massive problems (some are only theoretical) but it’s easy enough to avoid, so I do. #digitalsafety #cybersecurity #infosec #safetytips #travelsafety #travel #airport #security

From a safety perspective, transparent walkways make it easier for everyone to see what’s going on. It helps security keep a better eye on things, for us, it’s easier to identify help if we need it or spot hazards. There’s a lot of reasons and that’s probably why it’s so common to see at airports, malls, hotels and other newer public buildings. #safetytips #design #pov #hiddenfeatures #LifeHack #DidYouKnow #hiddendetails

I’ve been doing this for years & it’s helped me catch companies sneakily selling my data. If you live in an apartment building it’s probably best to leave your last name on the package so it doesn’t get lost. In those instances I’ll just add a code after my first name. For example, if I’m ordering pet food, I’ll be Cathy (pet) Pedrayes or if it was Amazon I could put (AMZ). Something that helps me remember the source without changing the name. #dataprivacy #LifeHack #safetytips #onlinesafety #cybersecurity #infosec #DidYouKnow #tipsandtricks

It’s not about knowing when to step back. We’re human, we get overwhelmed and frustrated (especially without a support system) so here’s your sign that it’s ok to put the baby down in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes.

I always travel with zip ties. It can be a last minute luggage lock if needed but also if TSA opens your bag, you’ll know! Part 2 is that it’s easiest to put a little scissor on the outside of your checked luggage so you can cut it off. #travelhack #safetytip #tipsandtricks #ziptiehack #travel

Both of my kids are under 4 so it’s pretty easy for me to avoid these candies but another option is to break it up into smaller pieces. For example, a chocolate egg can be broken into smaller pieces. It’s kinda messy and a pain but definitely possible. Also while this is focused on Easter candy, this applies year round. #easter #parents #childsafety #toddlermom #safetytips #safetyfirst #hazard #momlife

🚘 NHTSA currently only requires car manufacturers to test on 40-50 yr old crash test dummies which were designed based on the male body. Today we have newer dummies but its optional to use them so the She Drives Act was introduced to congress to change that. Now we have to wait and see if it gets put up for a vote & passes. #designbias #driving #women #safety #design #safetymeasures #congress #survival #shedrives #news #crashtest #genderbias

This scam works because it creates a moment of confusion and urgency. Most people want to be helpful and honest and that small window is all a scammer needs. If it seems staged or off, it probably is. #scamalert #safetytips #personalsafety #20dollarscam #psa #advice #staysafe #theft
