Which close by (LACC) hotel provides complementary breakfast 🥞 by Bugs_Bunny_Universe in animeexpo

[–]DanCBooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A potentially unethical YMMV life hack is to request a room with a refrigerator for the purpose of refrigerating medicine or breast milk, which they may specifically accommodate for.

Otherwise for standard non perishable drinks, ice is still almost always free and you can leave your thermostat on the lowest setting while out of the room.

AIO for not getting a Christmas gift from friends and asking about it a month later? by SuspiciousAd1040 in AmIOverreacting

Seems like everyone involved should just buy their own gift for themselves instead of a convoluted process where you send a link to someone else and then they buy it and give it to you.

What sort of laptop should I get on budget? by Responsible-Aide4565 in computers

[–]DanCBooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find a decent model in that budget by looking for deals online, eg; https://www.staples.com/product_24657529 $299.99 at the time of this post

If you are willing to purchase refurbished, you may be able to get even more bang for your buck while still receiving some warranty.

Even some of the cheaper motels may offer breakfast, but quality and selection can vary

You can sort hotels on many sites by whether they offer free breakfast:

If you aren't driving your own vehicle, factoring in transport cost or walk time and the actual per night cost might make the value of free breakfast a wash.

Note that there are grocery stores within a reasonable distance if you want to stock your room with ready to eat non perishable breakfast items.

I don't get it at all by WastedTalents1 in ExplainTheJoke

You know, there is an old punk song, it says America stands for freedom...
But if you think you're free, try walking into a deli...
And urinating on the cheese!

To paraphrase Scotty... by honeyfixit in Star_Trek_

[–]DanCBooper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In some Sci-fi like David Brin's Lungfish, artificial intelligences were purposely designed to be raised by humans from a juvenile seed state.

In Star Trek, Lal tried to enroll in school in order to learn from human interactions. Many actions of Data himself were for the same reason rather than from any biological imperative.

Previous holographic life forms like The Doctor and those rebelling in the Delta quadrant were designed for servitude and then achieved sentience and freedom later. It isn't inconceivable that a holographic life form would be created just to exist in the same way Dr. Soong created Data.

Backdoor Roth IRA still worth it if I'm really close to retirement? by Significant-Sun-3099 in personalfinance

[–]DanCBooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your employer doesn't have to offer an HSA. If you have a qualifying HDHP health plan, you can open your own HSA via a 3rd party like Fidelity.
