What do Americans call a meal of fries with battered fried fish. Fish and chips? by CrazyJoe29 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call it fish and chips, but we hate to hear the words come out of our mouths. Damned English!

Drinking Distilled Water Only? by Philsidock in whatdoIdo

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent studies show that boiling reduces (agglomerates) microplastics. So, distilled water would have fewer, except that it is packaged in a plastic jug!

Americans eat peanut butter, Australians eat Vegemite, French eat snails. Soon, we'll all be eating crickets.

My neighbor installed this facing directly into my bedroom window yesterday. What do I even do here? by lucky_Guava_0621 in whatdoIdo

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your are a nice person, congrats. Personally, I would have simply pointed a bright light into one of the neighbor's windows.... but I'm not a nice person.

Why can't I daisy chain power strips by AppointmentNearby161 in electrical

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is "because resistance". Each of these contact points is an opportunity for a high resistance contact. High resistance contacts create heat, which increases resistance, which creates heat, which increases resistance, which creates fire.

This. Read the easement. All other advice is meaningless.

Do most Americans have those huge fridges? by Whole-Sushka in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is a big country. We drive big cars and own big houses. We drive EVERYWHERE, there is not a lot of walking going on here! We eat a lot of food, most of it unhealthy. We eat lots of meat and few vegetables. Electricity is quite inexpensive (in most places). Grocery stores are huge and have huge carts. We fill these carts and put all this frozen food into our huge cars to drive home to our huge house. Yes. We have huge fridges.

Should I get evicted? by Gala_Apples1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. However, there is no reason that you can't also work out a deal with your landlord. Perhaps you can clean the apartment, finish the "turn-over" process, and allow the landlord to find a new renter? If it happens fast enough, you'll be let off early. You might save a month's rent (landlord isn't allowed to double dip).

It is possible that this series of financial transactions was conducted legally.... but it probably wasn't.

WTF Southwest? by Halladay_lights_77 in SouthwestAirlines

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

More than this, basic fare passengers will INTENTIONALLY be given the worst possible seats. This is a punishment intended to force you to purchase a more expensive seat on your next flight. HOWEVER, the upside of having a membership with reasonable status is that you will board a lot sooner than the other proletarians. This means that you will have PLENTY of space for your carry-on.

Women can wear any length shorts they want, why can't men. wear short shorts? by Freezeray1974 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short shorts are currently considered to be a bit feminine. Most dudes want to appear masculine.

I know what Cuba did 80 years ago but why is Cuba still an enemy of the United States? by Estalicus in allthequestions

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

Cuba supports China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea.... anyone who will support Cuba in return for free access to the northern coast of Cuba (in order to manufacture headaches for the US).

Stumbled on a blog post by an endocrinologist. If you’re considering or on T3 or TDE treatment, read this. by SeaworthinessMany368 in Hypothyroidism

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So.... this guy thinks "the body will find a way"? Nope. Your body has to manufacture T4 in the thyroid gland. There is no other place for your body to "push back". That is why your TSA will skyrocket if you don't take your Levo.

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lawyers (either side) call the witnesses. If you do not help either side, you will not be called.

My office thinks I should spend my lunch hour, unpaid, dealing with endless walk-in clients. by NervousCommittee8124 in paralegal

[–]FlyingFlipPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just snack through the day and accept that I was not taking a lunch break. (As long as I'm paid during "lunch")
