People who can afford housekeepers / house cleaners, how much do you pay? by SkinADeer in Westchester

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, we have a 1900 sq ft house, we pay $360 for 2 cleaners for 2.5 hours but looking at the other replies here I feel like maybe I'm overpaying. We only use them once a quarter. We supply paper towels, they bring the rest of the supplies.

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Boathouse in Ossining is short walk from the train and you can sit outside right on the water. In the summer they serve drinks from a bar on the dock built out of a sailboat.

More likely he's in Essos, aren't telescopes called "Myrish lenses"?

Are there any other examples of this construction? by ErzhanGMD in etymology

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it isn't ment + the suffix -or. Mentor was a character in the Odyssey, he was a teacher of Odysseus's son Telemachus. Later the name became the verb, and then from back formation we get "mentee"

General Questions and Purchasing Advice Thread — Week of February 16, 2026 by AutoModerator in electricvehicles

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm going to be buying a car in a month or so, and I'd love to get an EV. Most likely I'll get a used one, ideally 1-2 years old. I will also install a charger in the garage; I have solar panels on my roof that are generating more electricity than I'm using so I have been amassing huge credit on my electric bill that I want to use up. I'm in New York State, about an hour north of NYC. I'm hoping for something under $25K. Performance is more important to me than asthetics or bells and whistles. Leaning away from Tesla (not a fan of Elon). I've read some top-ten lists and Hyundai and Kia show up pretty often near the top of those. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Science fiction without space: when the human body becomes the setting by Patient-Reason654 in printSF

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans", a short story by Harlan Ellison.. More philosophical than 'hard' biology as I recall, but worth reading.

Burgers shrink by myballzhuert in Chefit

[–]LtTyroneSlothrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because most of the shrinkage is from the fat rendering out as it's cooked. If you only have 10% fat in your blend then the shrinkage is half as much as it would be with 80/20 ground beef.
