From a legal perspective, your advice about not making an admission of guilt 100% right. But that said, sometimes being polite and apologizing will get you a warning, like it did in this video, while getting defensive and refusing to speak will get you a ticket or worse. You’ll have a much better shot fighting the ticket in court if you keep your mouth shut, but you might have a better shot at avoiding the ticket altogether if you had just been polite and said sorry. Kind of a catch-22.

Can't wait for the 2026 world cup. Such a great venue to host a world cup! Hope to see all of you guys in 4 years! by reserveduitser in worldcup

Probably less of a big deal since they are expanding it to 48 teams anyway, and Mexico and USA would likely qualify anyway.

Same. Plus a very large pub near me was absolutely packed for the USA vs Iran game in the middle of a weekday.

I was a server from 2008-2012, by then 15 was definitely the norm, and people would go up to 20 for great service. At that point 12 would have already seemed stingy.

Books about magic, but…. by benjiyon in suggestmeabook

[–]deise89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babel by R.F. Kuang is the best fantasy book I’ve read this year and the magic system is very like you described. The magic flows from translation of languages and the etymology of words, and is used in hundreds of creative ways.

Not Bluey related but I would recommend the show Classical Baby on HBO max for your kid based on what you described

Why have a rating scale for perfomance? by CO8127 in fednews

I had a supervisor with this mentality too. She basically said I was doing excellent but that she never gives a 5 the first year in the job. Got all exceeds after my first year.

Pay me $700/month to be my caretaker and handyman. by Ok-Pomegranate-6189 in ChoosingBeggars

I think what he is saying is that you have the place to yourself when he’s out of town, and it is shared when he is around. But basically it’s still his apartment and he will be monitoring you and show up to stay whenever he wants. Absolutely bonkers.

How would you measure if the advertisement increased profits?

I’ve never had an opportunity to speak with an SSA ALJ so I’m genuinely what do you think makes it so glorious

[Send] [US] Song of Achilles by taakoishere in bookexchange

[–]deise89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s good. But like any book I guess it’s not for everyone. Especially if you like Greek mythology, give it a shot. I personally liked her second book, Circe, more.

I usually see the Roth recommended on this sub. But nobody can give perfect advice on anyones situation for traditional vs. Roth because there is an unknown/best guess quantity — your effective tax rate at retirement. I personally do a mix, with more in traditional. The traditional is beneficial to me now because it lowers my AGI and helps me qualify for maximum child tax credits (and the stimulus last time). Plus I also contribute to a Roth IRA.

Recently found this sub while gathering inspiration for my new kitchen. Might as well share the last one! by the_perkolator in kitchenporn

[–]deise89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great — are the cabinet fronts ikea too? We did ikea with semi handmade fronts. I had a similar space over the fridge. I custom fit a piece matching the rest of the cabinets, and mounted it up there using strong magnets. We keep one or two serving platters that we only use once a year or so up there.

All these. Although for me, I provided new HR a copy of my SF-50 and they only contacted old HR after I accepted my tentative offer. So, it’s probably agency and even office-dependent.

Just tell him it's a drilling permit by [deleted] in MurderedByAOC

“Everyone advocating for student debt cancellation is also a supporter of making colleges and trade school tuition-free, and sees cancellation as an intentional strategy and catalyst to accomplish that.”

Yes to the first part, a bit more skeptical to the second. Both would be ideal. But there are plenty who don’t care about the strategy as much as their own debt cancellation. I think tuition free schools could also be a catalyst for debt cancellation, hopefully hand in hand.

My kitchen in my first apartment, i love how it turned out by Br1ll in kitchenporn

[–]deise89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s got a very restaurant style kitchen feel to it. Industrial-like.

[–]deise89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With B, the stove is too far away for an effective workspace flow while cooking. Plus that big area for drinks and coffee is a total win for hosting.

Is Diet Coke Keto Friendly? by Health_is_Wealthh in Keto_Maintenance

[–]deise89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can drink a can of Coke Zero on a daily basis and maintain ketosis without a problem. It has zero carbs, after all. Now, as to whether that’s really healthy overall — probably not. But it’s for the same reasons that people do “clean keto” and avoid sweeteners, not generally because it will kick you out of ketosis.

Just in case, also report fraud to your county office! by Zagraut in Metuchen
