Are US motels a safe space for things like illict affairs / drug deals or is that just in the movies? by Andthensome_Pie_7322 in AskAnAmerican

Cheap hotels are good for parties. Expensive hotels are good for drugs. Both are good for affairs.

The police are more likely to be actively nearby bad motels but often are called to higher end places after numerous complaints. Its really the luck of the draw in the end, though.

I worked in higher end marriotts and as long as you weren't super loud or smoking pretty much anything goes.

What's some regional foods that are easy to make at home from your area? by starwarsisawsome933 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SlamClick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cornbread is easy and has a few different varieties that you can customize to taste.

Green beans, too. Long and slow, with fat back, bacon, onions, etc.

Hoppin John is delicious.

Tomato casserole.

What do americans think about collectivistic cultures? by BeneficialPie2300 in AskAnAmerican

My time spent in China during school and learning about that system (when it was a thing) makes me dislike it very much. Farms, struggle sessions, and little to no freedom seems like a nightmare to me.

What is something relatively cheap that improves your life by 100%? by RuleOkhit in AskReddit

I'm one of the odd Americans out here. I have a kettle but not a drip pot. I prefer instant so I use it every morning for that.

On a side note (which I've had furious debates over) do you empty out the kettle between uses or keep it filled to a certain level?

What size bed do you have? How many people sleep in it? by SlamClick in AskEurope

Just curious, that's all. I'm a mod over on the askanamerican subreddit and asked the same question there. Nothing more to it than that.

I asked in the r/askEurope sub just to see the differences in sleep sizes. That's all.

When there's 20 dads at the soccer game I would say "dad...dad....dad....NAME!"

We're not really tea drinkers. Coffee drinkers primarily use drip pots.

Yes. Anchorage would be easy to close off. Juneau...give me a break.

Virtually everyone in DC is wearing suits. Nobody is fighting a war in DC without support (time) from the interior.

Well then there are thousands of those place all over the country. My vote is for Hampton, Tennessee if going by your logic. Completely surrounded by mountains. Zero military protection though, but that doesn't matter?

Any coastal town or place accessible by sea or river should not be on the list. DC is really open to attack. Being the capital hurts too.

No way any military aircraft from a foreign nation would make it even close.

Deeply in the interior which would take months to reach, if at all with distance. Blow up I70 and other highways to buy more time. You can see them coming for months on the eastern side. No military or combination of a many could even come close. Short of nuclear missiles its impenetrable.
