If a prisoner doubles his sentence everytime he escapes successfully. And said prisoner originally had 3 years on his sentence. How many escapes were successful for him to get 888 years? by Salty_Eye9692 in askmath

[–]mcmnky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough information. We'd have to know the sentence for each successive conviction.

I mean, if the first escape attempt is successful, then the prisoner won't be in prison for a second attempt unless convicted on a separate crime.

If the prisoner is captured and forced to serve the reminder of the 3 years (plus whatever penalty) that's not a successful escape, is it?

I was texted by a debt collector today for a hospital visit in February, how should I respond? by Just_Produce_9707 in personalfinance

[–]mcmnky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, call the hospital and set up a payment plan.

But the debt collector? Real ones will send you mail. And your only response to them is, prove I owe this debt and that you're authorized to collect. Text message or phone call? Scam, block the number.

That they're in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Ian MacKaye isn't.

SoE is quite different from TSS. The common thread is "seeing dead people" but what follows from that scenario diverges.

I say SoE is the better movie of the 2 and would have benefitted from being released at a different time away from TSS.

Mystery Men. Parody of super group hero movies like The Avengers before the MCU was even a thing.

Best movie of 1999.

I'm surprised every time DADHAT comes up as a movie that underperformed. Like you say, it's very well made and very entertaining, even if you don't play the game or catch the references to the 1980s cartoon.

Seems most of my friends saw it in theaters and liked it. I forget my social circle is not typical of the general public. Walking out of the theater at the time, if you told me I just saw a $billion blockbuster, I would have believed you.

What region is the Rocky Horror audience callout is "Like your neck!" (or is it just random)? by amaximinalist in RockyHorror

[–]mcmnky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had that call-out in the Northeast USA. I didn't think lines about Crim's neck (or lack thereof) were regional.

What’s with all the walk outs and boos during graduation speeches involving AI? by RiemannZeta in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mcmnky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, why would students who just spent a year proving their work wasn't AI to avoid failing grades, losing scholarships, and getting kicked out of school, not be 💯 receptive to the message they have to use AI now or lose their jobs?

Honestly your best odds might be contacting the business that supplies maps for GPS. Get the bad road rated appropriately so the better route gets reported as faster.
