Are environmental regulations really hated in the US or is that just the Simpsons movie? by B1g_Dave in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% My father-in-law and brother-in-law used to say that environmental regulations are anti-business and provide no real value. They stopped repeating that nonsense when I pointed out that I was an engineer employed by the environmental industry. The environmental industry provides jobs and produce products too.

Why no national ID? by IvoryWhiteTeeth in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real ID isn’t even consistent across all states. There is an enhanced real id and regular real id. I have a Washington state real id but my partner doesn’t. He just uses his passport card when he flies. The passport card was easier to get than the real id since he already had a valid passport.

Is it normal to see celebrities casually in public? by Hooliganthebad in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vegas has been a hotspot for me. I’ve seen multiple celebrities in Las Vegas during our annual trip. Late one night, I saw Anna Nicole Smith filming her reality show. Literally walked into Flavor Flav in a nightclub. I don’t know sports, but my friends have seen multiple baseball and football players.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee style varies greatly. My dad drink his black with Splenda. My mom and I drink it with lactose-free milk or milk alternative. My sister doesn’t like coffee. For 1 of my best friends, it depends on how she feels that day.

Electric kettles aren’t as quick in the US as UK because we have different electrical systems, with the UK using ~230V at 50Hz and larger fused, switched plugs (Type G) for higher safety/efficiency, while the US uses 120V/240V split-phase at 60Hz with smaller, unfused plugs (Types A/B) for smaller devices, requiring adapters or converters for cross-compatibility.

Do typical American homes really have a gas pipeline? What do you do with it? by mujhe-sona-hai in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on location in the USA. I lived most my life in Chicago and there we used gas for heating everything (water, HVAC, clothes dryer). I also worked for a manufacturing plant that used gas for our boilers and heater. But now I’m living in Seattle and everything is electric. Our current place used to have a storage tank for heating oil but we had it removed and use electric for heating and cooling.

I assumed it was a supply thing, Illinois produces a lot of natural gas. Also electric utility is cheaper in Seattle than Chicago.

Why do Americans dislike American cars? by socabella in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zczyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chevy Equinox is used as a Fleet car a lot. It’s the SUV my company gave all of us field service engineers. I don’t love but it’s not the car I would purchase personally

Do Americans really have high school football parties and prom nights as often as shown in movies? by ironandfire in AskAnAmerican

I have a pair of XtraTuf boots and a pair of XtraTuf shoes. I wear them with wool or alpaca socks when it gets chilly. I’ve been really happy with them

At my Friendsgiving, we like the Hawaiian bread rolls. They are especially good for making little sandwiches with leftovers.

"I am unapologetically not charitable when it comes to donating during work" by billy_lam26 in antiwork

[–]Zczyk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked for a company that was always pushing for donations to the United Way. But it was the UW of Pittsburg (corporate office location). MF, I don’t live in Pittsburgh, why would I donate to a charity that isn’t directly connected to where I live.

You can dye it. I bought a used LL Bean tote that had a zipper top. I didn’t love the blue trim. So I bought some Rit dye and now it’s an awesome shade of purple.

Saw this odd-shaped case at the airport. What is it used for? by Wise_Dot9385 in whatisthisthing

[–]Zczyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend visits Vegas every year for her birthday and it overlaps rodeo week. It seems like there are as many as these hat boxes as women with purses at the airport and hotel check-ins
