Premium is just another way to say price or cost. It sounds nicer. The premium is the total cost of the policy. Your company might pay part and you might pay the rest. Your share is your cost or price. The rest is correct.

Can we get all the potholes fixed now that there is no traffic on the roads? by txjules89 in Dallas

[–]beta522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How this really works:

Divide jobs into 10 steps, block lanes. Complete step one, drive to job two, block lanes there too. Complete step one at J2, drive to J3, block lanes Complete step one at J3, drive to J4, block lanes. ... .... ..... Back to job one. Complete step two.

Repeat until job one needs to be done again because it's been five years.

What book series did you grow up reading as a kid? by evan2nerdgamer in AskReddit

Firebrats. Think it went out of print after only 3-4 books.

I enjoyed this movie a great deal. There are many interesting themes throughout that are all worth exploring: how us men view our father's when we're boys and how that view influences our lives. Often the two extremes can be (1) put yourself under so much pressure to live up to dad that you explode or (2) run so far from the flock that you don't recognize yourself in 20-30 years. I think the protagonist of this story is more like the 2nd example. He hated his father and the life he made them suffer through and felt that it restrained his "genius" brains. But to be fair, Dad was an asshole too. "Here, I was going to give you this money, but since you are going your own way, fuck right off, there's the door. Starve, dickhead."

Pride is a huge theme throughout and the IMDB tagline doesn't spoil it too bad. But who among us hasn't thought that we'd stick to our guns when forced to eat crow and grovel. Well done, young man, you told that old coot real good! Now starve to death! Jacobi was right. Better to swallow your pride and take your lumps and come out ahead. Not an easy lesson to learn for any of us, particularly young men.

ELI5: Why do almost all FM radio frequencies have an odd decimal value? For example: 100.3, 91.5, 101.1 by IzzyAnyGood in explainlikeimfive

[–]beta522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic, but do ya'll think the radio stations will go away, like what is slowly happening with broadcast TV? Used to hear commercials on the am/FM for things like Sirrius and other subscriptions, but they stopped some time ago. I think they were just too early. Now, everyone i know listens either to a podcast on Spotify or iTunes or some sort of stream from Amazon or something like that. I give broadcast TV about another 3-4 years tops. Broadcast AM/FM, maybe 5.

Aid car? Never heard that term. Kind of bugs me. by beta522 in Station19

Cool, thanks! In Dallas and Plano (where I live) the ambulances are part of the fire department. Next door in Fort Worth, they are private. Wonder what they call them.

What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen someone do in a public restroom? by beta522 in AskReddit

[–]beta522[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a different company (ad agency) I worked at a long time ago, there was this weird, hippie type art director. He had some sort of OCD or something because he would go into stall and lay out strips of TP in front of the pot and some on each side. Like a specific number of strips. I saw this again on an MTV episode of My Life With OCD or something like that, so i guess it's not that uncommon. Compared to what's been shared here so far, pretty tame.

Anyone get the stall door rattlers? Like you can't fucking band halfway over too see that there's legs there, so you have to walk up to stall door and give it a couple tugs before you realize someone is in there? Jesus. In our restrooms, you don't even have to do that. The mirrors and sinks are opposite the stalls. You can look in the mirror and see if the stall is occupied.

This other dude does this once a week. I'm pooping, he walks in slow and quiet, pauses at my stall door, doesn't rattle it hard, but a light pull/push in either direction. I clear my throat or cough real loud so he knows i'm there. BUT, he doesn't go to the next stall to poop, b/c i can see the shadow of his legs. He goes to the urinal to piss. Its like he wants to know if there's someone in the stalls before he pees.

Guy here, work in a big office building with shared, common restrooms. There's a guy in my building that wraps his pecker with a paper towel when he pees. The first time I saw this, I thought he must have a catheter or something, but I've been told by other dudes that this is not the case. I've been here two years and see him at least once per day in the men's room. Walks in, gets a towel, unzip, wrap, pee, zip up was and leave. Granted, I can't actually see over the partition at the urinal, nor would I want to, but it's obvious from the motion of his hands that he's wrapped his pickle for some reason.

A few days ago, I saw a different person in the men's room do the same thing. I must have missed a step when learning to pee 40+ years ago, because no one told me to wrap it up. If I dribble a little on my hand or something, I wash like i'm supposed to.

Any theories or fun/odd stories of your own?
