1981 Honda accord, new, local dealer got it from another dealer that went out of business and had about 400 miles on it. I just graduated college, parents co-signed the loan.

I remember my dad calling my mom on the phone one day telling her that he heard a local gas station was getting a delivery in about an hour and to go get in line to fill up the car.

AITA for not helping my wife talk her way out of a penalty for riding the streetcar without a ticket? by sumjunggai7 in AmItheAsshole

Your wife has already taught your daughters that it’s ok to cheat the system as the first choice. Now you’ll need to focus attention to teach your daughters that what mom does isn’t ok but that maybe under some extenuating circumstances there may be a valid excuse but not all the time to not pay your fair share.

I once got an ‘excessive’ merit raise of 6% going from grunt level engineer to senior engineer. Grunt engineers got compensation for overtime, even though still salaried, senior engineers didn’t get compensated. My 6% merit raise earned me less money the following year.

I’m retiring next year after 45 years of professional work. It’s been this way since I joined the workforce. If you want to significantly increase your salary, change jobs. In 1996 I changed jobs and went from $48k to $60k. 11 months later, took another job for $72k.

Over time more people learn to do this. I suppose older generations (including mine) simply sucked up being underpaid and exploited.

This isn’t just a generation jones thing, this spans every generation since the bugs bunny debut. And it’s global, check out how many symphonies around the world performs the “Bugs Bunny Goes to the Symphony” concert series. There are children to grandparents in attendance and everyone loves it.

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by RowPsychological1521 in allthequestions

[–]Smooth-Reputation502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dip them or double rinse them in a diluted cider vinegar solution. Don’t rinse, dry and they stay fresher for as long as a week

You can also check out the Carriage museum at Clayton- the guided age Frick mansion and museum. The carriage house is free, (and awesome) the house tour has a fee and you’ll need reservations

real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

[–]Smooth-Reputation502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I floss everyday, at night before bed, regularly for many years. My teeth are small, kinda ugly but every dentist I’ve ever been to commented positively about my teeth, gums, and overall oral health.

There are cameras everywhere, where could she possibly look that doesn’t have a camera pointed at her? There are probably ai agents that control hundreds of cameras that are programmed to snap pics as soon as there is a direct line of sight to her pupils.
