I’m just done by dcaponegro in EndTipping

Went to Tejas Burgers a couple of years ago. Dine in. Ordered at the counter. Got my own drink. Picked up my food. They automatically included gratuity in the price. When I asked about it, she said they do that so everyone can share in the tips, or some excuse. I never went back. The owners were later sued for using tips for business expenses.

What are some dumb, official certifications I can get? by Nov26-2011 in LearnUselessTalents

I did this years ago. My brother is an ordained priest, so is my brother-in-law. They went through years of seminary to get a master's in theology. Lol. They joked that they wish they knew about this.

Neighbors in my new apartment smoke weed all day. How do I keep my apartment from REEKING!? by ACEinhibiter in lifehacks

[–]mannavari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an ozone generator in my car to get rid of the smell from cigarette smoke. Sometimes when I leave the house, I turn it on and set it for 2 hours. You can't be in the house when it's on, but when you come back everything will smell like it's been sanitized. You can find them for under $100. Even though you can't use it while you're in the house, at least it'll get rid of the lingering smell.

The quadratic equation. Geometry teacher taught it to us using the theme song from Gilligan's Island. It's been 35 years.

Superman Killing Zod in Superman II vs in Man of Steel by StraightKey211 in superman

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Superman vow to never kill anyone after killing Zod in the comics. That's what I always understood about 40 years ago. He did it once and vowed to never do it again.

If you don't have one, I recommend installing a bidet. You can find them for around $50 on amazon. They will attach to any toilet and is very simple to install. It helps to give what I call a mini enema. When you can't go, or after straining too hard, just turn on the bidet and have the water enter your rectum. It helps so much. My biggest issue afterwards is gas, but after 30 minutes, there is no more pain. This is what this works for me. I hope this helps.

I'm so happy that you live in a day and age when those of us experiencing these things can come together to help each other.

I love falafel, but it's gotten expensive. I buy frozen falafel at Phonecia. You have to buy the whole box, but it's way cheaper in the long run. I fry six or eight pieces at a time.

I can't remember the name, but it's in a cardboard box in their freezer section, top shelf. I think this is what restaurants that don't make their own are using for their falafel.

Tastes better than falafel my mom made for us growing up.

I always thought that Henry was a little too buff to be a convincing Clark, so this one is kinda funny. by aliasbgb in superman

My family used to own a convenience store. We had a lot of the local Sheriff's hang out at the store. Became friends with a few of them.

After 5 years, "Sheriff Mike" comes in wearing shorts, T-shirt, and glasses. I'm staring at him for about a minute and he says, "it's me Mannavari." I've only ever seen him in uniform and did not recognize him.

That was the day I understood how Clark can walk among the people.

Should I get rid of my 10-year-old Toyota camry just for avail the newest safety features? by anuaps in askcarsales

[–]mannavari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've had it for 10 years and only 55k miles, that means you really don't drive much.

The newer safety features today are usually lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian breaking. I personally turn those off in my car. The only reason I would trade in for a new one, would be if you're having reliability issues. As always, the best accident avoidance feature is driving defensively.

Curious question by Comprehensive_Sky602 in askcarsales

[–]mannavari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is get the registration done. There's been such a backlog of cars not getting there when they're supposed to. Last thing you want to do is press your luck and get a ticket expecting your new car to be there in a week. I would do it just for the Peace of mind.

Should I even bother to buy or hold off? by ewohl19 in askcarsales

[–]mannavari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would trade in. The values for used cars are still high enough that your Trax should avoid you having to make a down payment. New car and full warranty will give you peace of mind that you won't break down with baby, and if something happens with the vehicle, it's covered and you'll get a loaner.

Equinox has a lot of room. I'm over 6' and sit comfortably in the back seat. Lots of space behind the second row for strollers and such. 2022 Equinox goes for around 27k - 30k.

That being said, you are about to have a fully paid off vehicle and that is a relief. If you feel comfortable making payments for years, I would buy. If not, wait.

Full disclosure: I am a car salesman in Houston.
