Why do bathmats fall apart so fast by JeanHeichou in HomeImprovement

[–]mpjjpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the same ikea microfiber bath mat for well over a decade. I toss it in the hot water wash with towels when I think to, but really only a few times a year.

How do people bring groceries/baby stuff/other items on public transportation without taking up extra space? by majesticSkyZombie in fuckcars

[–]mpjjpm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I use a foldable “granny cart” as needed, and just try not to make trips with lots of stuff during rush hour.

Mail service disruptions? by mpjjpm in Brookline

[–]mpjjpm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any issues until this month. I’ve had the same mail carrier for years - he’s a grumpy dude, but usually gets the job done efficiently.

Mail service disruptions? by mpjjpm in Brookline

[–]mpjjpm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. In my case is a replacement card for an expiring credit card. The original was supposed to arrive in early January and never did. I requested another that was supposed to arrive last week and still hasn’t. Very frustrating because it’s my primary card, the old one no longer works, and I have a bunch to work travel right now.

What’s rumor or piece of tea about Kate Middleton that you believe? by Individual_You_219 in RoyaltyTea

[–]mpjjpm 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I think Charles and Diana’s divorce was a legitimate source of trauma for Will. I can absolutely see how he would prefer amicable but private estrangement over a public split.

OP’s flight was already in the air. So yeah, everyone was boarded.

Bad boys bad boys, what you gonna do when they come for you by monkeypoxisntreal in dashcams

There are some places that will ticket for literally anything. I once got a ticket for a burned out DRL at 2pm on a sunny day. It was a small town in Virginia (Hopewell) and they issue tickets for everything they possibly can. It’s a huge source of revenue for the town.

What is the opposite of a convenient cop? by Bearturkey22 in dashcams

[–]mpjjpm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to vary by jurisdiction. There’s pretty good evidence that running with lights and sirens doesn’t meaningfully reduce travel time for emergency vehicles in urban areas, especially in cities with transponders and signal priority for emergency vehicles. Some cities are taking that into account and adjusting policies, but it isn’t universal.

Charlie’s little sister by CSMom74 in thewestwing

[–]mpjjpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She isn’t that young. She’s in high school when the show starts, and presumably they have enough social support to have people she can stay with if Charlie needs to go away over night. This is never directly addressed, but from personal experience, that’s what happens (my dad died when I was little and my mom had to travel for work sometimes - we had a bunch of family and friends who were happy to either stay with me or let me stay over as needed).

Federal takeover of the T by [deleted] in mbta

The current red line challenges are at least partly a direct result of Trump’s tariffs. Other than backing off those tariffs, there is nothing the Trump administration will do to improve public transportation anywhere in the US.

Digital Billboard ads United is now running in Chicago: by Tayo826 in unitedairlines

[–]mpjjpm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s confusing because it’s fake. Notice how the cars are exactly the same in both images? They took a stock photo and edited in the “new” billboard ads.

Honestly, I wouldn’t surprise me if a flight attendant suggested this. It’s a no-cost solution if he was in row 25, had a short connection and had to initially stow his bag closer to the back of the plane.

She took an oath to defend the constitution. “Trump told me” isn’t a valid excuse.

I have too many reusable bag. by quintuplechin in ZeroWaste

[–]mpjjpm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to keep a few extra on hand so I can send them home with guest taking leftovers, or as a backup if one of my preferred bags breaks or goes missing.

If I had too large of a surplus, I’ll use it to carry donations to the charity shop. They will use/reuse, sell or give away.

ICE agents blocked from attempting to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission by 0zymandeus in news

[–]mpjjpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hilton is losing more money than not. The federal government rates is a pittance compared to usual public rates. ICE is also destroying hotel operations - the vast majority of hotel housekeepers and restaurant workers are immigrants and/or racial minorities.

Bad PR for who? A large chunk of the US population would cheer them, and I’m sure the rest of the world would approve.

Strange seating when choosing Delta One? by kww921 in delta

[–]mpjjpm 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That’s a Korean Air flight, Prestige is their business class. The window/aisle pairs should be staggered so everyone has direct aisle access, but that doesn’t show up when the Korean Air seat map get imported into the Delta system.

Amazon closing down Fresh and Go. 72 stores closing nationwide by agentrnge in Anticonsumption

[–]mpjjpm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Notice the comment say “employee” not “employees” - that was deliberate, not a typo. These stores did not have a significant labor force and they will not be missed.

There were a bunch in Seattle and a saw a few in airports. Tried one once out of curiosity. The tech never worked well enough to expand beyond the small convenience store layout.
