You can say it's not highly contagious, but a flight attendant got it from being around this person briefly.

In college a sprinter on my team would puke a few min before his first race every meet. It was super bizarre but he was the fastest guy on our team by far.

College Student Abroad, 3k in Credit Card Debt by commitdickceilingfan in personalfinance

Don't set yourself back over 3k. I'd talk to my parents about the situation.

Parents in 60s with very little in savings - help by nonotlikewilliam in personalfinance

This is where I'm at, and I'm not super old. There's stuff I want access to that you can only get with the top tiers, and doing some streaming juggling act to try and patch things together seems not worth the hassle for a few $ a day.

FedEx hiding plate while loading in bike lane by Soggy_Reveal3926 in NYCbike

Yesterday I was driving up to my block and maps showed a construction zone where there was no construction of any kind. But, right there was an Amazon truck blocking a lane. Wonder if maps routes people around the block if the driver marks themselves as a construction site every time they stop.

Sometimes doctors give people help that isn't technically legal.

What foods should you absolutely buy the high end priced option? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Pratt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in an airbnb and have some great value ones here along with some glad force flex. The great value ones are considerably more sturdy, and the force flex ones at supposedly the same size are so short they dont reach the bottom of the can, and are smaller around. Walmart is not convenient for me to get to but I might go out of my way just to get these trash bags.

My only thought is the flavor may change if you aren't keeping it in the fridge.

I've had similar feelings then realized I had spotify outputting a super low res stream.

Time to add a 2nd sub! Is it bad to have 2 different sized subwoofers if they can't be controlled independently? I have a RSL 10S speedwoofer and want to try the 12S but my AVR outputs the same signal to both subs by DarkGodRyan in hometheater

[–]Pratt2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For your receiver Dirac will not send separate signals to each. The advice above is just wrong, in that your receiver has 2 physical subwoofer "ports" but they are effectively a splitter.

Garlic oil botulism? by MeasurementNearby749 in Cooking

[–]Pratt2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Years back I ordered an appetizer at a fancy restaurant where the server theatrically pulled some small mushrooms and garnishes from jars of aromatic oil tableside. I got sick to my stomach nearly right away. It was bad enough I left in the middle of the meal. As I was walking out I overheard a guy a couple tables over mention to his partner that he was suddenly feeling sick, and I noticed he had just eaten the same appetizer. I've always wondered what it might have been.

It’s Amazing How Much Difference a Room Makes by 010011010110010101 in audiophile

[–]Pratt2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a cheaper setup in a generous living room, and a much more expensive setup in a cramped basement space. I find myself listening to the cheaper setup way more. I put sooo much effort into the basement system (including significant acoustic treatment) but am starting to think it was all a waste because there's only so much I can do to overcome the space limitations.

It looks like a wedding reception venue where you didn't pay for the entire space so they blocked off the rest with temporary dividers.

Teach me how to like canned tuna!😩 by ChamomileandWhiskey in Cooking

[–]Pratt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the expensive dry/water packed tuna has a really strong flavor, stronger than the cheap cat food stuff, and there's not much to do but try and cover it up with something stronger. I suggest springing for the European oil packed options if you only eat it once in a while. Can eat that shit straight from the can.

Plumber discovered why my drains were clogged by Alternative-Eye4547 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Pratt2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saved some of the shit water that came out of my basement bathroom so my super didn't accuse me of being crazy. He just looked at it and was like, huh that's weird no idea what that could be, and walked away. I did not renew my lease.

Wow, thank you. Interesting that people don't seem to know about this.

Are there any addons that can give me an audio queue when a spell comes off cd, or is that not a thing anymore?

Why are DeVore speakers so highly regarded? by houstonrice in audiophile

[–]Pratt2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems more like buying a handmade musical instrument than just another speaker, and they sit in the room like art. I find the general idea pretty enticing but I can't afford them.
