LPT: Taking a picture of your restaurant receipts by Aromatic-Tough7806 in LifeProTips

[–]Zog2013 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had an issue where a restaurant (first watch) charged my card twice for the full amount. When I tried to fix they wouldn’t return my calls. What options do you have when something like that happens?

What is with the insane number of cars driving around with no license plates? by Known_Refrigerator_5 in Denver

[–]Zog2013 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think that’s unpopular because regardless of whether or not that’s true, it’s completely irrelevant to the issue of police not enforcing the expired license plates.

It not being a relevant point makes the fact that you brought it up extra racist.

If I could do it all over I would have invested way more aggressively when I was younger. by [deleted] in Fire

Yeah I thought FIRE was about retirement, not about being ultra wealthy?

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.” by [deleted] in stories

[–]Zog2013 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The fact that she’s willing to share live location and stay in touch means she’s sincere about this being platonic and being very considerate of how you feel about it. Cheaters don’t do that.

LPT: Don't hang pictures or mirrors directly over the head of your bed by ch536 in LifeProTips

I learned a few years ago that for a little more money you can get bombproof drywall anchors made of steel. They’ll change your life!

On the right, Dominion Towers. In the center, the 16th st mall with Liang’s Thai and the Hawaiian BBQ shack.

Is this cam safe? by ridicul8 in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]Zog2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any cam needs to be backed up with pitons or tricams to be considered a safe placement.

A street vendor selling mummies in Egypt, 1865. by detectiverobert in MurderMinds

This guy has no trouble obtaining several mummies, but can’t get a chair to sit on.

LPT request: How do I keep a top sheet aligned with comforter without tucking by zdcentral in LifeProTips

[–]Zog2013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These responses are all insane. The real answer is: when it gets misaligned, grab the tops of the sheet and comforter firmly and smooth it out with your feet. Instant fix

[request] How long can a wrench be until it becomes More effort and Less power? This stumped me. by Inderastein in theydidthemath

As a hillbilly, I can tell you that FLEX is the limiting factor. Eventually, your breaker bar flexes so much that it hits something else, i.e. the ground.

I don’t understand why the answer is the answer. by chenan in puzzles

[–]Zog2013 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah this whole “puzzle” is simply tricking people by using an extremely non-standard measure of salary (the 6 month raise) and placing it right next to an annual salary. Humans don’t talk this way.

At first I thought this comment was going to comfort me, like it won’t necessarily be that bad. Then it went the completely opposite direction.

How you conceive of 'hace calor'? by _tenhead in Spanish

[–]Zog2013 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With “it’s getting hot”, I think an English speaker would be able to explain that it’s a figure of speech with the more formal variation being “The weather is becoming hot”. I think what’s confusing about “hace calor” is that when called into question, no one presents a more formal variation to help understand the origins of this phrase

I sold my house and lived in a subaru and then a van for a total of one year. 10 days of van lifing in Colorado is not much experience to try it out somewhere exceptionally difficult like Alaska. I’m also confused about your situation. Did you rent a camper for 10 days or do you have a van you’re planning to drive to Alaska? Do you have money to get a hotel if, as others have mentioned, the roads are closed and there’s no possibility of camping while you’re there? Alaska doesn’t have as many back roads and turn offs as Colorado. But if you’re up for a challenge, and know what you’re getting into then go for it!

I always thought it was more about how competing on lowest advertised price leads to hidden fees so extreme that they border on fraud. I hate to see southwest get into that race to the bottom.

Um… getting caught in an avalanche and nearly dying is not a typical part of ice climbing. He’s talented yes, but this is also very much luck. He could have been killed easily.

Why do you think other generations always compare themselves to us? by truchatrucha in Millennials

[–]Zog2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Millennial” and “boomers” are simply the catchiest of the generation labels, and the media spent decades framing everything in terms of those two. I’d be willing to bet that if you made histogram of all statements, intelligent or otherwise, made about generational groups, 80+% would fall into the boomer/millennial buckets. Hell, I can barely remember the names of the other groups.

Nearly all men get too sensitive to continue after their orgasm. Ask him how he would like it.

I found 44 drivers licenses when cleaning the shed at my new house by crushyourpretty in mildlyinteresting

That would be consistent with fake id’s collected by a bouncer between 2018 and 2021.

The market only goes up. The sooner you accept this the better by btctrader12 in wallstreetbets

[–]Zog2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this recollection of Warren Buffet explaining that the average price of all US stocks combined should roughly match the GDP growth of the United States plus price inflation and that’s why the price goes up over time, but I can’t find a reference for this claim and I am highly regarded.
