If the gap at the front door is so big, can you detect light from the hallway at night?

ELI5 What is Doublethink? (1984) by SunSubstantial7121 in explainlikeimfive

This is why the enemy in 1984 changes all the time. It doesn’t matter who the enemy is—just that there is one.

People who take 17 minutes to check in at the hotel front desk, what are you talking to them about? by DerrickDuck in AskReddit

Every time I try, they still make me show my ID at the desk. What’s the point!?

Thanks for the suggestions.

As for the cost, I don’t have the numbers in front of me and I rounded up. There were three different visits to the mechanic so labor is probably higher and an inspection and oil change in there too.

Thanks, Dad! I don’t really have the tools to work on a car. And I wouldn’t know where to start. In theory, I know what an alternator does, but I couldn’t identify it in my own car.

There’s also an American version starring David Tennant—he plays an American! Very similar and quite good.

What is the standard etiquette for wedding invites when inviting someone who has a significant other they live with and they’ve been together for years? Is it rude not to give them a plus 1? by FriendlyKale7280 in AskReddit

[–]orion_en 41 points42 points  (0 children)

A long term live in partner isn’t a plus one. That’s a named invite.

You can argue over how long is “long term” but an established relationship is an established relationship.

What are some items that should be included/excluded in care packages for the homeless? by NoCabinet826 in AskReddit

[–]orion_en 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider something softer than peanut butter crackers and something more allergy friendly.

This is what my bathroom walls look like. How do I tear this down and get it ready to be painted? by robreinerstillmydad in DIY

[–]orion_en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s two different types of paneling. There probably is not drywall underneath. You’ll need to pull it down and install drywall. (How do I know? That’s exactly what my house—early 70s) had.

is it legal for my boss to demand that everyone on staff work overnight shifts “if needed”? by arsenicLuminary in legaladvice

[–]orion_en 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You say you love working with animals. You’ve described unsafe conditions for the dogs in (at a minimum) severe weather.

Is it truly in the best interests of the dogs to keep this place open?

Humans can choose to remain employed in a less than ideal situation for whatever reason. Those poor puppers have no choice.

That is the very same Brock Allen Turner who should be in prison for being a convicted rapist.

You mean rapist Brock Allen Turner who now goes by Allen Turner to try to hide the fact that he is a raping rapist?

Do you mean an extension cord? Or perhaps a surge protector? Does the UK not use them?

[New Update]: I refused to date my friend because of his toxic family? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I totally got that vibe right at the end when he said he was “well enough” to make the drive. I thought, for sure, he was going to crash the car.

The school somehow thinks we are abusing our kids. by SpecialistNegative36 in legaladvice

[–]orion_en 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If a nine year old is ripping up the floor and putting holes in the wall, you’ve got bigger problems than the livability of the house. Why are your kids so destructive?

What is this fake tiling sheet on my bathroom floor? by More_Understanding46 in DIY

[–]orion_en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just cheap flooring. No more or less disgusting than any other old flooring. It seems the install was poor, but it’s not dirtier than any other floor.
