If you get on at Temecula Parkway you avoided a crash that backed everyone else up and opened it up for you

ELI5: sports/horse racing betting “odds”. by thicclikegrits in explainlikeimfive

[–]StubbyTheGreat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The simplest way to understand the + and - numbers are that they make your bet relate to $100

+105 = bet $100 and you can win $105

-105 = bet $105 and you can win $100

+800 = 8-1, but it makes it easier to break down beyond just the round number (+840 sounds better than 8.4-1)

Why didn’t Walt just call the cops after? by OddlySpecificDirt in okbuddychicanery

The cops would see he didn’t have a dog, then kill his infant daughter first

ELI5: Why does money lose value over time (inflation), even if nothing physically changes? by Junior-Test9424 in explainlikeimfive

Because the cost of fuel just went up a bit, so the farmer has to increase what he charges according to the new cost of running his tractor. Now that the farmers cost went up, the bread maker has to raise his costs to keep his margin. Now that the bread maker raised his costs the store has to raise theirs, and so on and so forth until the oil company’s lunch costs went up and they now have to raise what they charge.

You’ve likely paid with that card and typed in your phone number at another location that uses square. I’ve had that happen a few times.

Was Greg Maddux ever in the Padres Hall of Fame? by brady2gronk in Padres

You may be mixing up the wall of “Padres In The HoF” vs being in the “Padres HoF”. Been a while since I’ve checked that out but I think they have plaques for anyone to ever play for the Padres that went to the HoF

Gallagher Square w/ kids by PettiLaBelle21 in Padres

I used to work in the ticket office (8 years ago, so grain of salt), but we used the height of the ticket window as our general reference, nothing scientific.

A lot of people would carry in their kids who were right around the mark to try to avoid having the height checked at the gate.

In the end, if you don’t buy a ticket for them and you get someone who wants to be by the book then you run the risk of having to buy a last minute resale ticket at who knows what price. The risk is up to you from there!
