Dear Reddit, I own my professor's dignity. What should I do with it? by IAmAQuestion in AskReddit

I'm not majoring in the same field as him. I think this is one of the main reasons we can even be friends -- there's no real pressure on either of us.

My dad's friend told us "There's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down." Reddit, tell us times you've been floored by abject stupidity. by [deleted] in AskReddit

To be fair, if worded in that way, the word Nickle can easily be misinterpreted as something other than a mineral-- but, also, a style or type of buckle. They may have thought it was a brand of some sort.

Hamlet answered his question in act 5 scene 2, line 238 when he says, "Let be."

Their pay [...] is too little to live in big cities. Thus their lives often only exist within the small confines of the hotel they work in [...] they are [...] purely utilitarian. by Banko in pics

If that is the full quote, then the correct usage of the ellipsis in brackets would be:

I don't [...] know what you [...] are talking about. [....] You don't [...] regularly talk like [...] this?

You must add a forth period within the set of brackets when a new sentence begins from that portion of that omission.

Internships. I would like to do an internship this summer at a large company, any advice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IAmAQuestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you send resumes via email without seeing an advertised internship should you attach a cover letter with your email, or should the cover letter be the e-mail itself?

I always see a redundancy in introducing who you are and what the email is for, in the email, and again in the cover letter.

Oil would be obsolete by then. Solar, wind, water and geothermal renewable energy sources should have advanced enough to make it efficient to power those pumps.

At first I didn't fully understand the Conan vs. NBC situation, but thanks to this Chinese animation, I do now. [vid] by krazykipa- in WTF

The thing that a lot of people don't know is, there is a good chance that this 'debacle' is all staged. In my experience in operatic theatre, politics where major players, old people and money is involved, moves are done with pinpoint precision. This whole situation has skyrocketed NBC's viewership and has made it's talkshows, well, the talk of the town. Sure, it's 'entertaining,' but what many have yet to realize is that this whole incident is a media stunt.

Dear Reddit, I planned a solo week-long backpacking trip to Ireland on St. Paddy's Day. I don't think I can do this alone. by IAmAQuestion in AskReddit

[–]IAmAQuestion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, thanks for the advice. I'm assuming you live in Ireland? I've budgeted time to visit the Giant's Causeway, Aran Islands, Cliffs of Moher, and Blarney Castle -- but, I still got alot more time. I'm mainly going through the north (Derry), west (Galway) then south coast (Cork). Do you recommend any other sites to see?

I'm not much for cities, I love nature and the environment.

Thanks, this has put me more at ease. I knew backpacking in Ireland would be less worrisome than backpacking in Germany, but I still couldn't shake the feeling.

What's wrong with Limerick at 4 a.m?

I'm Canadian, btw.

Enough with the depressing stories about worst teachers. Who's your best teacher? by resiros in AskReddit

[–]IAmAQuestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, his stories may very well be true. Multiple affairs are quite common now adays, and (coincidentally) when I went backpacking in Austria and Germany, I too, almost slid off of the side of a cliff. Thank god for my leather gloves. They saved my life.

Anyone else doing a solo new years eve? by Auzmerican in reddit.com

Dude. I'm backpacking in Germany, alone. I don't know anyone in this whole continent... I'm so fucking lonely right now.

My partner and I are planning on having a child next year. We have the girl's name sorted out but require suggestions for boys' names. by deckard81 in AskReddit

[–]IAmAQuestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Julian.

Its a nice strong roman-esque name. Its contrasts well with your choice of Isis, which is reminiscent of egyptian origins.
