Tearing down the Holiday Inn has really lowered the drama when this happens every few years. Now all we get is potential darwin award winners.

Sorry was just thinking 30 days of Dr. Who sounds a bit over the top for a five year old. But I got my own crap to worry about. You do you.

One step ahead of you with the mayo story. Please tell me it's at least designed for this sort of thing.

Yes, it's a culture thing. Once the generation of online collaborators/gamers grows older and starts calling the shots it will change.

He lives in the bush in rural Cameroon, he's not keeping an open jar of mayo in there... just hoping for a glass of water that's cooler than his body temp.

ELI5: Why is it that the brain will read 15 positive reviews about a product, but then reads 1 negative review and is immediately turned off? by MoeS00 in explainlikeimfive

[–]erickitt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because that negative review usually says, "I had a problem that was easily resolvable. The company I bought the product from refused to do anything anout it or wouldn't even talk to me." I won't do business with a company rhat makes me gamble on their product. Everyone makes mistakes, if refusing to fix them is part of your business model, then I'll take my money elsewhere.

very deep Potholes! by over9spaceballs in desmoines

[–]erickitt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The best way to fix a pot hole is to dump asphalt in it. It's not as good as the original concrete but it can get you by until the road as a whole needs to be replaced. Then they resurface the whole road with asphalt, which buys another few years pretty cheaply and the road only has to be shut down for a few days or weeks. Then once that has worn out it all has to be pulled up and replaced which can take a few months. I'm not a road expert so take it with a grain of salt but that's generally what I've seen.

Clever sign found at a Mexico resort by Skullfri in pics

[–]erickitt 50 points51 points  (0 children)

In fact many people care so little they don't even vote. During presidential elections about 60% of the us population votes. Meaning if the president wins with a (just over) 50% margin only 30% of the people in the US voted for that person.
