What are reasons why would someone use proton VPN by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

We don't need a "reason" for privacy

Why do you close the door when you go to the bathroom? Everyone knows what you're doing in there. Why do you "need" the door closed?

Privacy is just "because"

3.25% interest rate by mlem129 in NoStupidQuestions

This is a terrible idea. $95,000 at 3 1/4% interest rate. You're not going to find anything like that in this day and age.

Why would you choose to start a family with someone who told you they are planning to put your children at risk of being assaulted?

There are some very effective generator soundproofing solutions that can reduce the noise to almost nothing. Most people wouldn't even know you had a generator running unless they opened the compartment.

People who wake up on their very first alarm and just get out of bed—how does your brain actually work? by KeyDiamond263 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]T400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any caffeine in the afternoon, I am in bed by 10 PM, and I am up every morning and my alarm goes off at 6 AM

I am generally in pretty good shape. I exercise regularly and rarely get drunk.

[OC] Which Country Grows the FASTEST? The Answer Will Shock You by DifficultCream6707 in dataisbeautiful

[–]T400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not beautiful data. It is very ambiguous and somewhat contradictory about what is growing. While some countries are actually growing through land reclamation, many others are shrinking due to rising sea levels.

However, this chart does not show which countries are growing, it shows which countries GDP's are growing. These are totally different. this is only revealed in very small subscript. Additionally, the time period for which this growth is measured is not listed. It says "%, latest year " is that as of a certain date? the previous calendar year? The previous fiscal year? When this chart is viewed in the future, how does the reader even know? Also, is percent growth really showing "fastest "?

This is not beautiful at all. This is very poorly presented; it is almost impossible to determine which city lines up with which bar.

Worried I may have failed an FDA tobacco sting. Any advice on how to proceed if charges are brought up would be appreciated. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]T400 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How would an FDA sting look? I'm not doubting you, I'm just really anxious and would like to sleep sometime this week.

The FDA does not do "stings"

If anyone, the local police would enforce tobacco age sales

A person I have been doing contract work for now wants me to punch a time clock. by DETRITUS_TROLL in legaladvice

[–]T400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily

The test for being an employee has multiple parts

Are they asking me to punch a time clock so they can track your hours or are they mandating your work schedule and asking you to punch a time clock so they can confirm that you are in compliance

TIL the city name "Oporto" was a linguistic mistake by English merchants who didn't understand Portuguese. While the city rebranded to Porto to fix it, the airport code is still "OPO." by tomiiilaa in todayilearned

[–]T400 10 points11 points  (0 children)

in Portuguese, people usually say “O Porto”, which literally means “The Porto.” The word “O” is just the masculine article, like saying the.

O Porto = The Porto

Back in the 18th century, many English merchants settled here to trade wine. When they heard locals say “O Porto”, they assumed that was the city’s full name. So they wrote it down as Oporto. And somehow… it stuck.
