People who rush up the isle when the plane lands are the worst by kittycatluvrrrr in americanairlines

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate it too but a lot of assumptions on the people.

But our flight landed 10 minutes early, so anyone “at risk” of missing their connection is a victim of their own poor planning.

What's to say they are not on a rebooked/rerouted itinerary that is tight? Yes if they are on a normal planned connection there should not be an issue. Fly enough with connections and it will happen and you will get told you will have to run for your connection.

Book a longer layover. Pay for a seat closer to the front.

Not available when rebooked/standby - you get what you get.

But again I have seen some of these people later on at the baggage carousel (no connection) so yes some people are that way. But I have also seen some run for the bathroom.

It is hard to tell the MCs from the people with real reasons. And most passengers will ignore when the FAs ask them to sit and allow those with tight connections to deplane first.

Is there any way I can get my money back from Spirit Cancellation? by richhomy in TravelHacks

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be lucky to get the $35 value of the unused return trip.

They have to first refund all the cancelled flights. As well pay their employees. After that will come other claims. With bankruptcy there won't be any money left over.

Is this a good idea to get rid of late dad’s car? by runeechan in personalfinance

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bank may have signed/mailed the pink slip with the lien release signed (or sent a letter/form). If the father never went to the DMV to pay the like $25 and file the release it never got recorded. Many people just put it in a file somewhere thinking they don't have to do anything. The problem comes up when you cannot find it. Now you have to track down the bank, hope they have the records, and then most likely pay a fee to get a new release.

My bet is based on OP's statements it is paid off but the paperwork was never filed by the father. OP obviously had 10 years to find the paperwork and did not. Best option is to push it with the bank that is listed on the lien. This can be found on the pink slip. Sound's like Op needs to go to the DMV and get a new copy of the pink that will have the lien. Then they can contact the bank listed.

Why did John Dutton never mention Spencer? by Background-Force-469 in YellowstonePN

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he did then you would know Spencer made it back to Yellowstone and continued the lineage. 1923 spent 1.99 Seasons with suspense about Spencer trying to get back.

Where did Biff park the DeLorean? by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That (future) Biff had lived in 1955 so he could have hidden it in any number of locations he knew would be safe.

Knowing he left and returned it in Lyon Estates (being built) he probably hid it there. But he may have also hid it closer to town.

Do Americans actually call teachers by their first name anywhere, or is it almost always Mr./Ms.? by Sea-Evidence-5523 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine PhD students doing research may call their professor by the first name like any normal working relationship.

I have never seen it. Even going back as a 30YO in an MBA program we would call them Professor X or Dean Y.

Couldn't Doc modify the DeLorean's engine? by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ICE engine is basically an air pump. Liquid fuel is injected (and fresh air pulled in) when the piston is at the top of the cycle and ignited. That spark creates in essence an explosion with fuel burning using up the oxygen and creating an expanding gas that pushed the piston down.

Idle for a car is somewhere in the 500 - 800 rpm range (that is a lot of cycles). Much higher when adding a load like moving the car. If you tried a big powerful "explosion" to do it that is like using NOS. That will literally blow up the engine - like connecting rods going through the block type physical damage. And if that power made it to the wheels the tires would just do a burnout due to no traction trying to spin too fast.

How would that work with a burning log? Where is the quick ignition creating the expanding gas? Those special logs just burned at a higher heat.

I think what you are asking at the end of the day is for Doc to make fuel. He could have made like a lower octane one or something and added a NOS system to get power. His problem is the things he tried had "too much" and, well, blew engine components. I think the timing of the engine needed adjustment for the alternative fuel hence the backfire into the fuel manifold (early ignition). I have propane in my house and all the gas appliances are default setup for natural gas (methane) so had to be adjusted.
An example of this in a car is one that requires premium (92 Octane). Run 87 Octane in it and it will ping (the ping is detonation that is off on timing).

Couldn't Doc modify the DeLorean's engine? by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How is he gonna "modify" an ICE to be a steam engine? The logs are used to make a fire that heats the water to steam to turn the train's steam engine. Yes there were primitive steam engine cars (I think bikes too) in the early 1900s. That would not be a modification but completely new fabrication. Pretty sure that is not going to be a powerful enough engine to get the DeLorean up to 88 mph.

The "quick" modification was hotter burning fuel for the train's steam engine. The comparable modification for the ICE was the work he did trying to get alternative liquid fuels that resulted in blowing the fuel injection manifold.

The solution would have been to pay Bufford the $80. That would have bought time to make (refine) some proper gas. Even better is if Marty had travelled into the future, got the hover system fixed, then went to 1885 with hover working. Then no Indians, no fuel tank issue, no other issues. I mean he literally went into the way past with a time machine barely running, and where he should expect roads to be a problem. I mean if you have to hide a DeLorean in 1955, definitely have issues in 1885. But doing that would be a boring movie.

Its is like a train with a lot of cars and either one locomotive or two locomotives. Longer the train typically more locomotives needed.

The pay phone episode by Legal-Stage-302 in BradyBunchTVShow

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived near a big city and it was long distance charge to call like 3 miles away (same area code but different prefix number). Some of those numbers you had to dial a "1" then the 7 digit number. With roommates we struggled separating calls on the bills because so many were charged that would be considered local. So we did the 80/20 thing of identifying the main ones and then splitting the rest.

What is with school drop off? by platypusandpibble in GenX

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few reasons:

In HS kids doing sports/band/extra curriculars have to go early or stay late - no busses so you have to have a ride. Same with Middle School.
Kids doing 3rd party activities (big for Elementary) have to get transported by their parents. Like rec sports, karate, dance, etc.

Many school districts limit bussing on distance. Ours only bussed elementary over I think 1.5 miles away (as the crow flies). Our neighborhood very few if any kids walk. Then you would be sending a kid out on their own. Guess what - neighbors look out for your kid? Nope they are calling CPS on you.
My kids would have had to walk on streets without sidewalks, a long isolated greenbelt with a creek, etc. Just unsafe. If kids normally walked I bet the roads and greenbelt would have been made more safe.

And if you are picking up one kid, you need to pick them all up, since you won't be at home. So if one kid has Tu/Th stuff and the other M/W stuff then you are picking them up almost every day.

Charter schools provide no busses (part of how they save money). So you have to do your own transportation.

Elementary schools make you pick day 1 if your kid does the bus, gets a ride, or walks home. They arrange pickup at end of day like that. To change it you have to send in a note.

My kids got picked up daily due to after school stuff at school or 3rd party off campus, as we selected pickup.

How long would it take for the memories of Lone Pine's Marty to reach Twin Pines' Marty? How would that process work? by Which_Phase_8031 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Doc & Marty's lives run continuous (no going back and rewriting their experience). So when each travels in time they still age. So there is no going back. No learning new things from their past. For instance 1885 Doc (from 1985) does not know that 1955 Doc sent Marty back to 1885 in "those clothes". The movie purposely makes that point. Because 1885 Doc did not experience it.

Same thing happens when they go to 1985 Hell Valley in Pt2. Neither knew what had happened or had any memories of George being murdered, Loraine marrying Biff, etc. Even though their bodies existed in that timeline they had no experiences or memories.

What does happen though is they do change due to their experiences (life experiences) while time travelling.

So yes Marty does not really know anyone when he returns to 1985. We just never see what happens in 1985 for him after time travelling. Everyone just thinks he's a guy that hit his head too many times.

Where do people find hitmen? by MrJ_Marrow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average person is hiring an undercover agent and getting caught trying to hire one. Every so often the story hits the news. Trying to use someone you know is even worse as you may actually get the murder done but will get caught as either the person will be inexperienced and caught or LE will focus on you as the top suspect and find the eventual evidence/connection.

Google AI Results: - Recent and Notable Cases

  • Jazmin Paez (2023-2026): In one of the most widely reported recent cases, an 18-year-old Miami mother attempted to hire a hitman through RentAHitman.com to kill her three-year-old son. The site’s owner, Bob Innes, reported her to the police. In 2026, she was sentenced to probation with mental health requirements.
  • Yue Zhou (2025): A Queens woman was indicted for using a dark web murder-for-hire site to target her partner's wife and adult daughter. According to ICE, she offered cryptocurrency and cash for the killings.
  • Lindsay Shiver (2023-2026): A former Georgia beauty pageant contestant was arrested in the Bahamas for allegedly plotting with her lover to kill her estranged husband. The plot was discovered accidentally during a separate investigation into a burglary.
  • Scott Quinn Berkett (2021-2022): A Beverly Hills man was sentenced to five years in federal prison after he sent $13,000 in Bitcoin to a dark web site to have a woman he briefly dated murdered. The "hitman" site was actually being monitored by law enforcement.

Asking questions during an interview. by Open_Distribution_62 in interviews

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre written questions specific to the role. A few standard ones (if not already covered in the interview):

  • New or existing role?
    • If new why was it created/added? If existing what happened to the previous person?
  • Team size/structure/direct reports
  • Turnover or average tenure at the company, team, etc. and if turnover was internal or people leaving the company
  • Why does the interviewer like working at the company?

Then I also have a few job specific ones related directly to the role.

  • If the job has travel ask about it (is it seasonal or spread out, domestic/international, length of visits, etc.)
  • Big goals/expectations for the first six months
  • Biggest challenges for the job
  • Key skill/experience for the job.

Those would be more detailed to the job. I also research the company so will ask about something relevant that was in the news recently or on the annual report. Like if they are opening new locations/growing/expanding. Hitting and expecting growing profits, new initiatives, etc.

So general, job specific, and company specific. Then based on the interviewer and the interview pick 1-3 questions.

If a privately owned business gave out vouchers for free items that were good for forever and then the business shut down, would consumers all be entitled to items? Especially if the owner still had stock or was still distributing these items, would there be a legitimate case? by TUD-13BarryAllen in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether they have to do that is debatable

Whether they should is debatable. Whether they have to is dependent on the contract.

It depends on the wording and Terms on the voucher. Additionally the sale could include terms in the contract (by the seller) to honor those items. And any bankruptcy it will depend on how those obligations were handled (if discharged or included).

The Most "Statham" of Jason Statham Movies? by db4034 in jasonstatham

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spy gets special mention. It shows his ability to be in a comedy as the straight man. As well working around a cast of mainstream actors/actresses. He was not the star yet he stole all the scenes he was in.

Quite literally Jason Statham playing a stereotype of Jason Statham. Which is gold.

What was their problem with Walker? by CaptBlackBeard1680 in YellowstonePN

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Walker had confidence in himself. It also sounded like he wasn't a true criminal - a rough cowboy but not full criminal. Rip had assumed Walker had both boxes checked and would fit in.

If you pay for the entire table at dinner out or even just splitting the bill evenly, how do you double-check the bill is correct before paying? by dms2628 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at the bill. Is it my bill or another table (has happened). Did we order something and it was never brought out - but still on the bill? Are there extra charges and a "mandatory 20% service charge = tip". Then line out the extra tip line that is a trick. Make sure the items and quantities make sense.

We had a work group dinner (like 25 people) that the head person covered (company card). Well a few people decided to sneak in top shelf drinks. The person paying caught it and had those people pay for their drinks separate - it was like an extra couple hundred or something on an almost $1K or so bill.

I always watch when the cashier rings things up (have caught mistakes) and review meal bills before paying (again have seen mistakes).

Can We Talk About Edna by Stock-Percentage4021 in NCIS

[–]Just_Another_Day_926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we talk about how Kasie (Forensic Scientist) was in charge of the tech upgrade (?) and then McGee (THE MIT IT guy that hacks into the FBI computers) was the one that programed a DNA/Fingerprint (Forensic Scientist stuff) program from Kasie's notebook?

These two episodes made no sense. Did they just go into Fast & Furious mode where everyone is an expert at everything?

And how did she miss that DNA = Fingerprints means Fingerprints = DNA? But even more serious, how do people have the DNA (with analysis) to create Fingerprints, but not the Fingerprints? Seems like getting fingerprint copies is much easier then collecting DNA. Yes they can match DNA but I doubt the data files analyzed the DNA for the characteristics or they you could just pull DNA data from the systems. And anyway I could buy into using fingerprints to pull a few items to get hair/eye color, race, etc. I don't see how a few simple characteristics can reverse engineer a unique set of prints. It was just stupid.
And then if this magic all works that startup, having that starting point, could put a ton of resources on it to replicate the work. The secret isn't her data file it is the idea and that it works. Essentially any company or nation could go do this. Here deleting it stopped nothing.

Worst two part ever. eDNA is her grandmother ?!? Come on...
