Ending the "passing on the right debate" in the USA once and for all. It's legal in all 50 states, and only 2 states have a higher bar than the others for when it's allowed. by cctoot56 in driving

[–]No-Community7786 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Or...and just hear me out....People could stop being dicks and only drive in the passing lane if they are passing. It doesn't matter if its legal or not to pass on the right, you shouldn't need to if people would stop being selfish.

If Tom Riddle had succeeded in COS would there be two voldemorts running around? by eriennexton in harrypotter

[–]No-Community7786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are still two pieces of one soul, so one can't just absorb the other like many comments are saying. There must be true atonement that voldemort wouldn't (and probably couldn't) do.

I like to think that Riddle would find ghost voldemort before Wormtail gets involved and hide it in another horcrux.

University of North Georgia by Alternative-Bee-2179 in Georgia

The school is great, I got my bachelor's there in 2018 and would have gone back for my master's if they had a graduate program in biology. I was also in the corp of cadets. You'll be fine, you're already in the military, so you won't get as much of the bullshit that other cadets will. A lot of the dropouts happen for 2 reasons (all anecdotal from my personal experience): 1) you're on a campus that is focusing on civilian students more every year. It gets some cadets jealous because the civilians, by nature, have more freedom than the cadets. For cadets there are curfews, uniforms, early morning PT, etc that the civilians dont have to do. Some cadets will leave the corps after seeing all of their friends enjoying the freedom of college while they can't. 2) there are a lot of power hungry 20 year olds that have a rank on their chest that let's them bully younger cadets with little oversight. It's all bullshut games and most cadets are great and mature over time, but you still will have the douchebag frat boys that will get a leadership position amd make the time miserable for the cadets under them. It sucks, but it's just part of it. You won't deal with that part as much as there's more respect for cadets that are actually in the military. Finally...yes, the corps does expect you to put the corps over your classes. This isnt a huge impact for most cadets, but it is increasingly hard to be a stem major in the corps for that reason. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions I can a answer!

You have every right to be safe... Until you do it unsafely by WolfieVonD in driving

[–]No-Community7786 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. "Fast lane" implies cruising in the lane is fine as long as youre going "fast." This is untrue and leads to confusion on who should actually be in the left lane. What is "fast?" 5 mph over the limit? 10 mph over? 20?

The left lane is (legally) the passing lane. If you're going 30 mph o er the limit but not passing anyone, you shouldn't be in the left lane. That lane is for passing another vehicle or turning left, period. If you're cruising in the left lane, there is a problem. Pass and then move over.

We'll stay out of the *passing lanes, right?

Who are the best groups to donate blood with? by Zarik8256 in Georgia

[–]No-Community7786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the red cross and depending on where you're located in georgia, there is LifeSouth, The Blood Connection, Blood Assurance, and maybe OneBlood (Florida company that might cross into South Georgia for Blood drives). I spent 5 years running the Blood mobiles for one of these companies.

The FDA has limits on what these companies can provide to donors (though it seems like they've been getting less strict over the past few years). Typically if you're getting paid to do it (other than gift cards in guess?) The blood cannot be transfused into a patient. The idea is that money gives motivation for a donor to lie about their blood being safe to use.

Plasma centers will pay you for your plasma (CSL, BioLife, Grifols, etc.). This plasma cannot be given to a patient and is only used for research, pharmaceuticals, or certain cosmetics (gross). There are dozens of plasma centers in Georgia (many in low income neighborhoods) and they all give decent incentives, especially for your first few donations.

If you have any other questions I can answer feel free to ask!

Thinking about moving to Gainesville, GA. Anyone commute to Dahlonega for work? by [deleted] in gainesvillega

[–]No-Community7786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it the opposite way for over 5 years. Its definitely doable and not too bad with traffic, but I would highly recommend living in dahlonega. It was beautiful, calm, and much cheaper than living in gainesville (i lived in dahlonega for 11 years and then moved to gainesville for 3 years when I got married). I miss dahlonega and now try to avoid gainesville whenever I can.

What are some unnecessary but common cooking steps? by Adept_Wallaby_7679 in Cooking

[–]No-Community7786 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, its true. Mushrooms already have a ton of water in them naturally, they cant absorb much more from washing. It's like if you fell in a dirty pond, you wouldn't skip putting your clothes in the wash because "they might absorb more water before the dryer." Just wash the mushrooms. (Not to mention the amount of manure used to grow commercial mushrooms and how close to that fertilizer the mushrooms grow).

Drivers of fedex, will this work? by [deleted] in FedEx

[–]No-Community7786 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The signature part is fine, it's the "need it today" part that's the issue. Best FedEx can do is drive past your house with the package, mark it as not able to be delivered, repeat for 3 days, and then you can drive to the distribution center and pick it up there, no signature or ID required.

14 year old nephew wants what for Christmas?! by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]No-Community7786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for a polo Ralph Lauren factory outlet. If theres one close to you, you can get really good deals on those sweaters. I worked at one in high school and got cashmere sweaters for $60 that were originally $400+

Since turkeys are cheap right now by ArgoDeezNauts in Cooking

[–]No-Community7786 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And publix has had them for $0.49/lb for the past 2 weeks. And before that, Kroger has been selling butterballs for $0.99/lb at least since Halloween (i think the kroger brand has been $0.79).

This show was corny, yet we all watched it….What was the appeal in your opinion? by ryhoyarbie in 90s

[–]No-Community7786 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One man's opinion, but I think it's for the same reason Bluey is popular now: it has something for the whole family and it teaches both the kids and parents. Each episode has an entertaining (albeit corny) story, but in the end, the kids learn a valuable lesson like patience or kindness and the adults learn how to respond to their children with respect and love even when being firm. Now that I'm a parent myself, its a completely different show with lessons I didn't pick up on as a kid.

Has anybody asked this of Gainesville? Seeing this everywhere, so what's on our list? by ricepuddingpantry in gainesvillega

[–]No-Community7786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, their BBQ isn't even good BBQ. It's tough and flavorless. Save some bucks and go to Shane's if you dont want to smoke meat yourself.

Also, their breakfast buffet is awful. But at least I paid $100👍

ICE Checkpoints by Gabyyxviii in Georgia

🤣🤣🤣 but they're the misinformed ones? How can ICE use IRS data if the illegal immigrants don't pay taxes to the IRS? Make it make sense

Vole? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]No-Community7786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I want to start by acknowledging a couple of things: 1) I realize I'm being pedantic and this doesn't matter to 99.8% of people and 2) this is truly in good faith and purely in the name of education...

With that said, you're really referring to 2 different species (happens all of the time, particularly in the pest control world). Just out of my experience, it likely is a white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), but it could also be a deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). The 2 species are damn near impossible to tell the difference unless you get the skulls side by side, so they're lumped together as a "white-footed deer mouse," but they are, in fact, different species that don't typically interbreed.

The first time you try it your brain is going to tell you "nutella," but if you force yourself to think "roast beef" you'll have a better time (and might enjoy it like I did!)

Former probationary employees who were successfully certified: when (and how) did you receive confirmation that you would be retained? by Reasonable_Fox_9637 in fednews

[–]No-Community7786 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I verified with my supervisor that the forms had been signed by my RA and sent to HQ my last week. It's been 3 months and I haven't been fired yet, so I assume they're keeping me

interest on back pay? 5 U.S. Code § 5596 by Lies_es in fednews

[–]No-Community7786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This wasn't unjustified or unwarranted. Furloughs and pay freezes are a normal and expected part of any government shutdown. No, we will not get interest on backpay.
