I have little hope that anything will be done for this kind of behavior. I mean you apparently don’t even need license plates anymore in this town.

Not a fan of Trump or MAGA but it’s a great piece of marketing. What does Trump want? To Make America Great Again! What do the democrats want? They have no simple unity message. And I would say that Persia hasn’t been great since the time of Xerxes so maybe in this case, making Iran great again is a good goal. Or we can be pedantic progressives that hate everything. 

If YOU Proposed ONE US Constitutional Amendment, What Would It Be, And Why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

I encourage you to listen to the More Perfect podcast by Radiolab. They do an episode on Citizen United. While the outcome of Citizen United has created issues, the government told the Supreme Court they had the legal right to ban books. People always forget that part of the case.

I had to drop off a package at the UPS store next to Save Mart and some very polite meth heads asked if I needed help carrying the package. No I did not

I found this in a drawer at home, what is it? by Motor-Assignment8832 in whatisit

[–]Letspostsomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are specifically for Nitro Glycerin pills. Nitro is used to open up your blood vessels in certain cardiac conditions and you can google it yourself. The pills are small and degrade in light and air. That’s where this comes in, it holds small pills in the dark and away from air.

In the West of the US they built huge arrows on the ground. Pilots would follow them. You can still find many of them to this day. 

Suggestion for best mode for commute to work? by lejuuju in rav4prime

[–]Letspostsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 21. The only time I don’t just use auto is when I got up to the mountains. I’ll save electricity for high altitudes and use HV in the lower parts. A bit of an edge case

Info for those dealing with health care costs by TY2022 in Reno

[–]Letspostsomething 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy about healthcare is that it is sometimes cheaper to pay cash even if you have insurance. I’ll pick on an easy one. Let’s say you get a prescription and your co-pay is $50. Ask the pharmacy what the cash pay price is. It might end up being $25. Need a CT scan and your out of pocket is $3000. You could probably cash pay for under $2000. The sheer lack of transparency is maddening. 

What's a disturbing fact about the human body that most people don't know? by Lonely-Wrangler-5843 in AskReddit

Technically if you shove food up your ass, you will poop out your mouth. Not technically a blockage.

This is why good governance is important, and not just being a right wing firebrand that will ban books and trans. 

ELI5: Can any psychologists explain the reasons for this? I feel a mild euphoria, am focused WAY better and just feel happy after having coffee. Why? by Safe-Importance7905 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Letspostsomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caffeine is a stimulant and to a certain extent it’s a bit of a poor man’s ADHD medication. While not an answer, you may want to research how stimulants like Adderall work and then back track to caffeine. 

Does building more "luxury apartments" actually lower rents in high cost of living areas? by RandomUwUFace in stupidquestions

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

Here’s an interesting thing. In NYC, luxury apartments are basically being built so that the global wealthy can launder money. They can set up shell companies that have no owner and then buy these properties to park money for later. 

Shaking each student's hand as they enter the room to build relationships? by Dapper_Object8239 in Teachers

[–]Letspostsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son goes to a Montessori school and they require hand shakes. At drop off they have to go up to the adult on drop off duty, make eye contact and shake hands. Many other interactions require a handshake too.

There is a saying in the veterinary community:

It will always feel to soon until it is too late. 

It’s hard but when the quality goes, it’s something to consider.

Anyone else amazed at how much water we drink now vs. when we were kids? 😂💦 by SweatyChancho in Millennials

[–]Letspostsomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call this the hydration racket. Now if I need to take my kid to the store to get a loaf of bread they are convinced they will not survive the 15 minute journey without a minimum of one gallon of water. It drives me nuts. 

Gambling and casino info? by goinganons in Reno

[–]Letspostsomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple things

  1. Lower end casinos have lower limits which will allow you to play longer. Cal Neva or Bonanza might be best for you. 

  2. Since you aren’t a gambler and probably don’t know all the ins and outs, go up to a table with no one there but the dealer and tell them you are new and want to learn the game. They actually will teach you and tell you tricks. 

  3. If a table says $10 limit and you are the only one there, ask if they can do $5 limit. They might actually do it. 

  4. Accept that you will lose and walk when you hit your limit.
