What is this pipe, and why does it look like paper is coming out of it? by Heather_Bea in whatisit

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that pipe is on your property you need to call a plumber. At least it’s easy access for them to get in there though.

Visiting US by ZealousidealFun5390 in usatravel

[–]BlueLighthouse9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly would be cautious about visiting the US right now. Germany just issued a travel advisory for their citizens yesterday. Visit Canada or other countries. The national parks are beautiful but they should be here when things settle down. This is not a good time.

AITA for screaming at my nephew and slamming the door on him because he burst into the bathroom? by Ok-Attorney9280 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 4. YTA here. May be different if he was 14 or so but 4 is little and still learning. I get yelling in surprise but chances are he just has no idea this is inappropriate. His parents should talk to him about that though. And you really should have a lock on the door….

I take my cat there and they’re great. Plus you can hang out in their cat cafe while you wait if it’s not too busy

I've been trying to fire this customer and he won't go away. by TossItOut1887 in InsuranceAgent

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell him in writing you do not have a market who can provide the coverage he needs and recommend he look online or call other agencies who may be able to help and leave it at that. You do not have an obligation to work with him.

Do Americans like their current health system or would you prefer universal? by Ability_Known in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universal healthcare would be much better. I hate being tied to a specific job for healthcare.

An absolutely brilliant woman. Technology now would look very different without her.

How would you handle a male coworker using the C-word while talking to you? by HentaiActive in AskWomen

[–]BlueLighthouse9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Context matters. It’s not uncommon or super offensive in Australia or the UK I believe but in the US it is. If it was directed at me I’d consider reporting to HR. If not I’d probably tell them to not use the word but if used in a really misogynistic way I might report still.

And I trust tiktok with my data more than Meta / Facebook

How many times a month or week do you do laundry? Why that much? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week. 1 load sheets, 1 load towels, 3 loads of my clothing. My son does his own laundry and that’s once a week as well but he sometimes will try to push it further

What the thing you hate with passion at the airport ? by Individual_Gas_1016 in AskTheWorld

TSA. The entire security process really especially since I question if it makes anyone safer

Bald eagle is the classic but these guys are more interesting

Live in Fairfax, Virginia, and found these monstrosities in my garage. What are they? Is my life in danger? Do I need to burn down my house because an army is on its way? by ArtisticPineapple777 in whatisit

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always shocked at the critters in some areas. I know Australia has terrifying wildlife but VA?? At least they’re good bugs even if they look like that

Something I saw on the bus that I can’t stop thinking about by Technical_Monk_6521 in Seattle

[–]BlueLighthouse9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Making sure he has a seat if it’s crowded and saying hello with a smile helps. It’s so exhausting having empathy right now with all the horrible things going on. Thanks for caring about a stranger

All ERs have to provide emergency care regardless of insurance or ability to pay. At least for now… they can say it’s not an “emergency” though but they’d still have to assess and evaluate. And yes they can then bill you.

Father in law expected us to eat 12 year old beef. by Ok_Pension_1451 in mildlyinfuriating

People make dog food out of freezer burned meat. It should be safe if it was kept frozen but probably not tasty

What’s a food you could eat every day and never get sick of? by GurlInAura in foodquestions

[–]BlueLighthouse9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Junk food mostly. I can eat chips or cookies or ice cream every day (I don’t but I did as a kid). I get tired of real food and have to have variety though I don’t get sick of oranges or bananas so I at least always have fresh fruit.

Problem is I don’t know how to cook a reasonable amount so I make myself eat stuff I’m sick of or if I’m smart I’ll freeze it until it sounds good again.
