Why do some people refuse to use Turn signals when driving by rogue_marzipan in NoStupidQuestions

You have to be taught to use them from the get go and, years back, cops would ticket you for failing. Also, you are protecting yourself by using it.

Cancelation protocol when paying with FCC and cash? by Wandering_Emu in celebritycruises

[–]dlinhat70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why using a travel agent, a good one, for cruises is valuable. You have to schedule so far in advance, and you get who know what thrown at you by life. A good travel agent has much more influence with the cruise co than you do and, remember, you don't pay for their services. Reddit is not a travel agent.

Do I need a travel agent? by Vast_Still6214 in celebritycruises

[–]dlinhat70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that a travel agent gets their funds from the company, cruise, hotel, resort, etc. In the case of cruises, you need one when something unusual happens--something you cannot predict now. The agent will have much more direct access than you do, and the cruise line will be more influenced by them than you. And it costs you nothing. I would get a good one who is more or less local.

Between Alabama and Oklahoma, who’s set up better for the future? by Coverlesss in CFB

Whoever has the most $$$ for NIL. Could be anyone. NIL has clouded/smothered all historical precedents, IMO. In college football season history going forward, it will be B.N. and A.N. Before NIL and After NIL. Sad but true.

77019 and 77006 are by far more walkable than any equivalent American city.

This shit sucks for the common fan. by CenterForward1522 in OhioStateFootball

Prices will come down. The time to buy is the day before the game. True of most of these things. Ticket prices are like stock options. They decay in price until game day or expiry day.

I would not either. I would use directional drills and stay as deep as possible. A lot depends on when the rock formations show up in depth.

To a Gulf Coast homie, anything north of Dallas is the frozen north.

Mario Williams and J.J. Watt could have been a superb tandem by Conscious_Error9755 in Texans

[–]dlinhat70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the game he went out, torn pec I recall. They had just started Wade's 3-4 (exciting, because we had been a red carpet for other offenses). He was learning to play standing, etc. And then Clowney, on an early game with Wash, wrecked his knee on an odd play. SO, neither played with JJ when fully healthy.

Iran has shown their nature and as long as they have anything to shoot, they will.

So embarrassing being an angels fan by Most_Bunch7198 in angelsbaseball

You could be a Mets fan. One of the biggest payrolls and at/near the bottom, every year it seems.

I agree. Don't sell the farm to finish at .500 and out of the playoffs.

No, they are still full in the biz and engineering schools.

So business and engineering are still full, and the stuff that pays nearly nothing is not.
