at least there are no briars

Da rueful "thank goodness for no thorns" cheer-up remark dat you say to your bush-whacking companions when laboriously pushing your way through thick brush. Thankfully for Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear were **not** able to utter this phrase when they flung Brer Rabbit into the nearby prickly thicket, and thus said dense patch of spiky brambles prevented them from pursuing said bunny as he was guffawingly making his escape.

When da prince rescued Sleeping Beauty, he wasn't actually able to tell his horse, "At least there are no briars" as he was slashing his way through da thorn-bushes that ringed the castle. However, he and his trusty steed still never got scratched at all, thanks to da magic sword dat da three good fairies had given him; said enchanted sabre caused da spiky bushes to simply fall away to one side as da blade-wielding hero hacked them down.

At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline

What you say to make a super-sweltering day seem a bit less miserable.

Besides keeping in mind that, "At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline", you can also remember to utilize two other "perks" of extra-hot weather --- the solvent on freshly-painted/glued items will take less time to evaporate, and your swimming pool will warm up faster so that its water won't be such a shock to climb into. (This latter phenomenon also often works for a nearby pond or brook, of course, and so you can avail yourself of this delightful "oasis of cool relief" sooner after sunrise, too, if you don't have a pool of your own. Some southern areas even allow people to "shed it all" and go skinny-dipping once the local temps exceed a certain level, too, and so this can be an additional "heat-wave advantage".)

Path of least resistancing

I heard the bosses in Path of Exile 2 would shit all over the bosses in Diablo 4.

Hym "I can both FEEL and HEAR the fluid 'path of least resistancing' down the back of my neck on the left hand side. It usually happens when I'm laying on my back with my head elevated. I also get tinnitus when resting my head on my pillow. I can hear it squeezing out down my neck. Which is neat I guess..."

least said, soonest mended

a difficult situation will be resolved more quickly if there is no more discussion of it.

"It's best to follow the advice of 'least said, soonest mended' and not rehash the same disagreements we've been over multiple times. Let's focus on finding a constructive solution rather than dwelling on past mistakes."
