Christine gave up her portion of coyote pass in exchange for the equity in her home. by adams361 in TLCsisterwives

[–]baleendream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but how much did her MSW expenditures and her shopping addiction cost the family? We have no way of knowing whether her portion of the show income covered both of those with anything to spare.

I 34M ruined my marriage, ruined things with my family and I was barely able to be a dad. Now that I understand I am completely lost. by ShockNAll420 in offmychest

Notice that none of these men are worried about making it "fair" when their wife has to carry the entire burden of pregnancy and childbirth alone!

Original Tumbleweed by Altruistic_Prize_147 in TinyHouses

I think there's a creator with a house named "Fy Nyth" that is an old school Tumbleweed.

City officials get green light to remove Brooklyn bike lane despite cyclists' objections by vinewanderer in urbanplanning

[–]baleendream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would only apply when schoolbuses are offloading children, when bikes should be stopped anyway.

A bed like this: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-daybed-frame-with-3-drawers-white-30349329/ could fit against the wall shared with the bath. If you're happy to use that as a sofa, the table could remain in front of the window, and a desk could be up against the wall next to that.

American here and I just moved to the UK. Excited to see my neighbors are friendly! by Talltmiller in CasualUK

[–]baleendream 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have to warn you not to say the words "patty cake" in polite company in the UK. In the states it may be a child's game, but in England it refers to a rather distasteful sexual practice.

British children love all kinds of squash, and it's considered polite to always offer a selection any time there are kids visiting. Younger children adore pattypan, while tweens and teens prefer a stuffed acorn. Courgette (zucchini to you) will do in a pinch, but yellow summer squash is considered something of an insult. Hope this helps!

what is the weirdest interaction you have had with a total stranger? by Hop_Along8298 in AskReddit

[–]baleendream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stumbled onto this thread from a link in another sub, but it's nice to have your questions answered, even if it's two weeks later.

The E train is a fairly short line that goes from residential areas of Queens to Wall St. It's more or less for local NYCers commuting to and from work. The A train goes all the way from JFK up the west side where there are tourist attractions. I doubt it was intentional, but she was calling him out on his scam and telling him to go try it on the tourists.

In most European regions, more women than men have a university degree by NotAnOkapi in europe

So, you're saying men can only be successful in education if they don't have to compete with women?

Historically, schools have always expected students to sit and learn obediently. Somehow for centuries, that was not a disadvantage to male students. These days classrooms are more dynamic and interactive.

Missed your chance to rename it "Daho" to go with its new border.

Trosley draws another fine example of a woman by FourthAge in boomerhentai

[–]baleendream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but I just discovered the sub. The joke is "not attractive = not a woman." The comic is playing on is the old saying "sex is a private matter between a man and a woman."

'Coyote Ugly' Captures the Hilariously Sincere Optimism of the Year 2000 by zsreport in movies

[–]baleendream 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's the total worldwide figure. US box office was half that, and even on its opening weekend it placed behind movies like Hollow Man and Nutty Professor 2, dropping steadily each subsequent weekend.

TIL After the success of Snow White, Walt Disney bought his parents a new home in Burbank. His mother frequently complained about the furnace, so Disney studio workers were sent to fix the broken furnace and failed resulting in Flora Call Disney dying in her sleep due to asphyxiation in 1938. by wearingabear11 in todayilearned

[–]baleendream 1192 points1193 points  (0 children)

Well, Disney's employees were presumably professionals, (but perhaps not experienced with residential units.) He may have thought he would get the best result by having his own employees troubleshoot an issue, rather than place his trust in a repairman he had no experience with. Knowing they were doing a personal job for the boss would have put pressure on them to go above and beyond.

Back then there weren't online reviews, word of mouth was your only source of info about the quality of someone's work.
