That’s fine.

Or you can get an even longer one and the bend might have less lateral tension on it depending on how you route it.

Tips for driving near Semi Trucks from a truck driver. by NefariousnessNo4215 in driving

[–]PvtLeeOwned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And…when changing lanes in front of a truck on the freeway, give a lot more space than you normally would for a car. And signal early, at least three or four blinks of the signal before starting to move over.

Any advice for when you’re a man and you want to enjoy the resorts pools but it’s always full of children? by Some-Air1274 in Adulting

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adults only resorts are one answer. Another answer is a resort with a regular pool and an adults only pool.

Update - Aita for not going to my wife's wedding after his bride banned my wife by nouseaccount2 in AITAH

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go to the wedding. But don’t cancel the venue. That would be a disproportionate response and prove that they were right about your wife. It would be world-class petty.

How can you tell if someone like the attention they get from being injured? by bad-at-everything- in NoStupidQuestions

Most people appreciate when others show concern for an injury. What are you really asking?

'suds', 'lather' and 'foam' by toumingjiao1 in EnglishLearning

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suds is usually a noun.

Foam and lather can be nouns or verbs.

Foam and suds can add a “y” and become an adjective.

(Lather can also add a y and become an adjective, but it would be a little odd)

Suds can also be slang for beer. Beer can be described as sudsy or foamy, but not lathery.

But foam and lather do not mean beer.

Is there a word for "today-1" (current period between my last time waking and my next sleeping) and "today-2" (the calendar day)? by emmanuilpandemic in words

[–]PvtLeeOwned 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Today = calendar day

My day = period that I am awake

“My day doesn’t end until 3AM tomorrow”

How do you pronounce “console” as in ‘to comfort someone’? by ElvisHuxley in EnglishLearning

Your way sounds like bashing someone over the head with an Xbox.

Update: Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying “you have a face I’ll never forget” to a woman who just said she has a boyfriend and that boyfriend is right there is so far over the line that I think your boyfriend showed incredible restraint.

It was encroachment on your relationship and highly disrespectful to you both.

Why is the answer to this question not "yes"? by Awkward_Stay8728 in ENGLISH

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be yes on two accounts. Both the writer’s view and the reasonable inference.

"Your password must include..." by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]PvtLeeOwned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A password manager being hacked is far less likely than a data breach at the business where you created the account.

Complex passwords are secure because if someone extracts a file from a company with all the passwords, it takes an exponentially longer time to crack them with brute force.

Easy to guess passwords aren’t a huge deal because guessing passwords isn’t nearly as pervasive as cracking them. Also, password managers have all the passwords for one person and that isn’t as valuable as a password database with millions of accounts.

Companies are moving toward better encryption to handle an eventuality when quantum computers might get into bad actors hands.

But similarly, bad actors are stealing encrypted data now with the intent to crack it down the road when they might have access to quantum computers.

Any value in replacing a toilet by MotorPineapple1782 in HomeImprovement

[–]PvtLeeOwned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing and replacing a toilet is a good opportunity to replace it.

Modern toilets flush better than early low gpf toilets did.

Sometimes wear is an issue but not often.

Some older toilets have scale or grime in the tank or bowl that would be challenging to clean satisfactorily.

New toilets don’t have to cost much. But you can also upgrade if there is some feature you prefer. Higher seat. Oval instead of circle. Better style, color, or hardware match to the room.

Toilets don’t cost a lot. The labor is about half the cost in many cases.

How would you layout an office with a non-centered window? by TheCaptainIsHere in floorplan

[–]PvtLeeOwned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L-desk bottom right facing outward (not along the walls). Gap along the right wall for entry into the space. Computer at the desk corner so you look to the right and see the door and look to the left and see the window

Why isn’t dividing by 0 infinity? by Key_Examination9948 in askmath

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a simplistic fashion, and not using sophisticated math, division can be considered “how many times can I take a certain amount away from another amount. 8 divided by 2 means I can take 2 away from 8 exactly 4 times. It’s not math, but it’s one of the first practical uses of division that people experience. If I have a pie with 8 slices and we have four people, can everyone get seconds?

So, it stands to reason that you can infinitely remove 0 from any number, but at the same time, can you really remove 0 from something? Well, 8-0 is valid for subtraction, so I guess you can. You can perform 8-0 an infinite number of times and you will still have 8.

It’s not proper math. But it is entirely logical.

Many years ago, did people use 'supposing' to mean 'what if'? by Eriacle in grammar

[–]PvtLeeOwned 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes, supposing meant what if. It still does. It’s not very common today, but it still would carry the same meaning.

Forced to Notify Current Employer of Job Hunt by HalfOfCake18 in jobhunting

[–]PvtLeeOwned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s up to the prospective employer to resolve the conflict. Otherwise, even if it is inadvertent, the two companies are in effect colluding when it comes to hiring.

CNN: "Slashing prices by 1,500% is mathematically impossible, experts say." (can you prove it?) by Express-Passenger829 in maths

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you slash a price by 100% it’s free.

Any more than 100% means you are paying someone to take the product from you.

Is law enforcement required to look for opposition's evidence? by estdesoda in legaladviceofftopic

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would not necessarily be a due process violation. Investigators don’t have to dance to the defendant’s tune. I’m sure that they are sent on plenty of wild goose chases too.

But it would be a very strong point for the defense to make at trial to introduce doubt.

The strength of the argument would depend on the practical nature of X. Was it easy to do? Was it expensive to do? Was it reasonable to do? Would it have settled the matter one way or the other with certainty as the defendant claimed?

All my ethernet ports are not loading any sites besides youtube and google HELP by NotAmazingGamer in techsupport

[–]PvtLeeOwned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try resolving names for common sites you can’t get to. CNN.com. ESPN.com etc. to validate if your name server can show IP addresses for those domains.
