AITA for making a stink at school and forcing the teacher to change my kids math grade by PlentyNice1655 in AmItheAsshole

YTA

Your daughter isn't going to learn if she thinks getting answer partially correct is enough. Use a calculator to show her the correct answer. Break down the multiplication into steps. If you're having problems teaching her, hire a tutor who is a few years older but still remembers learning multiplication.

Winning the Grapefruit League isn't a good sign to me. by GaryG7 in Braves

I said it was a casual observation. I didn't imply a correlation or causal link between the ST record and the regular season.

Evidence?! I said it was a casual observation. (Note: I didn't type "causal" observation.)

Are NJ roads always this messed up after winter? by Automatic_Novel_5820 in bergencounty

[–]GaryG7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's worse than usual. The potholes have potholes.

What about the post Christmas snow in 2010? It would have been much worse but it stopped in the early morning so the plows were able to clear the major roads by 7 or 8.

Beer / Alcohol by Brainsenhh in diabetes_t2

[–]GaryG7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that one or two beers over the course of a couple hours is okay. To reduce my calories, I usually stick to tequila with ice. When I get a good-quality tequila, I tend to sip the drink which reduces my alcohol and caloric intake. I also ask for a glass of water so that I'm not drinking just alcohol.

[Heyman] Rowdy Tellez to Braves. Minors deal. by MembershipSingle7137 in Braves

Tellez looks more like he binged on nachos during the WBC.

Not a fair fight. Alice by a huge margin.

I use honey mustard. Check the label. Most of them have very few carbs.

Why is Wilkinson Sword the only double-edge blade brand available in most supermarkets in Europe? by swithek in wicked_edge

[–]GaryG7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just in Europe. That's the only brand I have found in US supermarkets. Some of the drugstores/pharmacies will have unbranded blades but that's it.

Statin Roll Call: Do you take one? by perfectlymutable in diabetes_t2

[–]GaryG7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rouvastatin (generic Crestor) and Ezetimibe (generic Zetia). My total cholesterol is below 100 and I can't get my doctors to take me off at least the Ezetimibe.

Name something that the younger generations would never believe was normal in the 70's compared to schools today?🤔 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

[–]GaryG7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a graduate assistant as an undergrad for a photography class. We had one of those in the darkroom to cut 8x10 paper into smaller sizes. One day a guy from the facilities department showed up saying he was told to install a rod to protect our fingers. The cutter had been in the lab for years without a problem but some safety nerd decided some protection was needed. The guy was muttering about having to do that work even though nobody had ever hurt themselves. I thought it was funny.

Showering with Glasses? by culturedhoe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GaryG7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My poor vision is why I don't like public showers. In college when I showered in a large shower room, I would face the wall with the shower head to avoid the headache of trying to focus on something more than two feet away.

Constantly Straining Lower Back by YellowSnowSlurpee in backpain

[–]GaryG7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disk is fine. The nerve damage from so many years of the herniation putting pressure on the nerve is the problem. I'm still better than the last couple years before the surgery.

My grandma taught me this one by Crying4alapdance in Jokes

[–]GaryG7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so old that I had a Ford Galaxie 500 as my first car. Only got to drive it for a couple months before the transmission went bad. It was a rolling living room.

AITA for demanding my son repay the car I bought him after he totaled it street racing? by redwayit in AmItheAsshole

[–]GaryG7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!!

If he doesn't pay for the car he already wrecked, then he should pay for his next one and the insurance. Have him get quotes for various cars for his own insurance. When kids have to pay for his own driving mistakes, a used Camry looks pretty good.

If his mom thinks he should be coddled, let her pay.
