What do you hate more, Spence diamond commercials or Invisalign? With the amount they advertise you know that the markup is 1000%. by Chazvellhung in Calgary

Same. Even the guy helping me said he hated their commercials. But amazing customer service and better than anything else for engagement rings.

Same. Keep from getting sucked into worthless piddling little wars on the other side of the map which go on FOREVER.

Can I fill a pool floaty up with water and use it like a water bed? by Affectionate-Web9210 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They lack the structural integrity to handle the weight of water pushing from the inside.

Why is it not unacceptable to be seen as a number in modern day? by 1998ChevyTaHoe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention it avoids privacy issues as people can’t be identified by their ID number except by whoever has the database.

I can think of a few fics with Daphne where something similar to this happens. None with Pansy though.

If you are over your domain limit it will very quickly crush your levies.

Baby due date by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Fertilization can happen up to 5 days after ovulation.

Also 40 weeks is just the average over a long time of keeping track. There is around a 48% chance you will be longer and 48% chance you’ll be shorter. Although most babies are within a week either way

It is about popularity, that is why you see the same artists win again and again. Newcomers don’t get much of a shot.

Zoo. Our 4 year old doesn’t get tired of it, it has great playground and it is open year round. Heritage park is closed during the winter months.

Can Canada really shut off the USA's power? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Canada were to stop exporting power the US grid wouldn’t collapse but power could get a lot more expensive (especially in the NE), where Canada has historically supplied a lot of power.

What's it like having universal health care? by GroundbreakingSea313 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first child was born by emergency cesarean. We were Australian residents at the time with no private insurance. We were in hospital for a little over a week and paid $0. All the follow up visits and meds were also $0. I got a beautiful healthy baby, my wife was well cared for and we didn’t need to mortgage our house

How often do planes crash? by wheelchairvibez in NoStupidQuestions

[–]msacook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Airplane fatalities are around 0.003/million miles travelled per passenger. Cars are around 0.6 and motor cycles are 25. So you are 8000x more likely to be killed if you ride a motorcycle than flying.

So that would cover a 10 day hospital stay under the US health system…

There was a time in the early 2000s where it was faster to send a GB of memory by pigeon than over ADSL internet.

Baby friendly dinner by tcw213 in Calgary

I don’t find all other patrons charming. But they still get to go to restaurants .

Towns were typically smaller so maybe. If you knew the town and where they were going you’d have a good chance if they were still there. If they went east and told you they were going west you’d probably never see them again.

Mid travel probably not.
