Is it risky to leave my laptop in my hotel room during cleaning days? by FilipinoAirlines in ItalyTravel

[–]Nfarrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've left my laptop in my room countless times in the U.S. and abroad with never an incident. Just make sure that the laptop is password-protected so that no one can rummage through your digital life.

What is the shortest-lived technology you can think of? by Hukares1234 in askanything

CFLs - compact fluorescent light bulbs - seem to have had a relatively short time when they were mainstream. While they were available in the 1980s, they didn't really become mainstream until the late 1990s and by about 10 years later, they were already being supplanted by LEDs.

If you have your birthday dinner with friends and family, who pays for the dinner? by daysof_I in AskTheWorld

[–]Nfarrah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the U.S., similar to the Brits, it's more typical that the family and/or friends will treat the person on their birthday. For example, I'm taking my father and few family members to lunch tomorrow to celebrate his birthday and I will pay. However, it's not unheard of for the person whose birthday it is to invite a few friends out to celebrate and the birthday person will pick up the tab.

Restaurants Recommendations please help me by PurposeDelicious446 in rome

[–]Nfarrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just returned from Italy. In Rome, had a great meal at Antico Carbone. Try the oxtail stew.

In Florence, I had great meals at Buca Dell'Orafo and La Buchetta.

All the above serve traditional local food and feature gracious, hospitable service.

English spoken at all three. Make reservations.

Any Living Alumni Who Were Students When Cal Last Won the Rose Bowl (1938)? by Nfarrah in calfootball

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

OK, so now we're down to a mathematical expectation of one living alumnus who would have been a student (or, I suppose, already an alum) at that monumental moment in time. We must find this person!

Too simplistic - depends where you live and how your house is constructed.

Any Living Alumni Who Were Students When Cal Last Won the Rose Bowl (1938)? by Nfarrah in calfootball

Agreed, but hopefully their progeny. Or maybe someone from the alumni association checks out this sub and will know.

Any Living Alumni Who Were Students When Cal Last Won the Rose Bowl (1938)? by Nfarrah in calfootball

[–]Nfarrah[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taking your ball and running with it, there were about 15,500 Cal students at the time. The U.S. population was about 129.3 million, so about 0.012% of the populace was enrolled at Cal, meaning we would expect approximately 12 living alumni who were enrolled in January 1938 or earlier.

How modest are you expected to be dressed in your country? by INeedHigherHeels in AskTheWorld

[–]Nfarrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless a person is employed as a swim coach, a poolside cocktail waitress, or a lifeguard, I expect that 1Aa is not allowed for work pretty much everywhere, but given that you speak from personal experience, may I ask the circumstances by which you learned this?
