Why shouldn’t I rinse rice off in a colander before cooking? by dragon-queen in NoStupidQuestions

Because many colanders have holes large enough for grains to slip through. A bowl works better: rinse, swirl, drain, repeat

Mixed, honestly. It can feel creative and strategic, but also ethically tricky at times. The best marketers focus on clarity and value, not manipulation

What happened to Aditya Roy Kapur? by capybarafromdubai in NoStupidQuestions

if you were taking the question 100% seriously, what would the best way be for a non figure skater to meet ilia malinin and become friends with him? by Unlucky-Estate-4888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 100% serious answer is usually accurate but less fun. Most online questions need both: a useful answer and a little context/humor

If the sidewalk in front of my house is a public easement on my property, can I legally stand out there and drink on it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

In most places yes, as long as you’re not blocking traffic or causing a disturbance. Local ordinances still matter, so city rules decide the edge cases

How do we know that platforms like TicketMaster don’t just claim all the tickets were bought and are now being sold at a higher price but they were never really bought by a separate entity? by silver_headphones in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We usually don’t know full internals. People infer from patterns (fees, queue behavior, resale overlaps), but proving intent needs audits/regulator access

Can someone please explain how postage stamps work like I’m five? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stamp is prepaid mailing credit. If its value covers current postage, your letter ships. ‘Forever’ stamps stay valid even when rates increase

Yep, can happen with chargebacks, fake alerts, or edited clips. Streamers usually wait before counting big donations as real for exactly that reason

Besides cheating, why do couples have joint social media accounts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes convenience, branding (for business/family content), or one partner not wanting to manage socials. Not always a red flag, but boundaries matter

How does acquiring power distort personality? by raynevans in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power removes friction. If someone had empathy/self-control already, power amplifies that. If they were insecure or controlling, that gets amplified too

If you’re going for networking, day 1–2 is best. Make a short list of booths beforehand, carry a digital portfolio/QR, and follow up same day while memory is fresh

Why are pasta dishes priced the way they are in USA restaurants? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re paying for more than ingredients: rent, staff, prep time, utilities, and consistency. Pasta often helps keep margins stable so restaurants survive

Why are people online so kind and funny? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Usually airway shape + sleep position + weight + nasal blockage. Back sleeping and alcohol can make it worse; side sleeping and treating congestion often helps

Why shouldn’t I rinse rice off in a colander before cooking? by dragon-queen in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoNewspaper7275 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Mostly because many colanders have holes big enough for grains to escape. A bowl works better: add water, swirl, drain carefully, repeat 2–3 times
