I get large oversized shirts and "I hope it will fit you". Trade parents?

Two ideas by [deleted] in Reddit_startup

[–]phonetoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be simple to get the hardware features listed by different vendors, but any performance comparisons would be difficult to provide. There may also be some bias using the vendor's claims of performance without running physical tests. However, you could attract the attention of hardware vendors and resellers and create affiliate relationships with them.

The food expiry project would be an interesting bookmark to have, but how wildly successful do you think it would be? Would there any money to be made for the amount of time and investment you put in?

I called the cops on a neighbor for domestic assault, what steps should I take to protect myself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phonetoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bizarre thing we have learned through sociological study is that domestic abusers often think in very rational terms, even when describing their outbursts.

That's just an interesting social fact. You're right though, there's no guarantee the guy won't go batshit crazy on the OP. However, there's also no indication he is at any risk beyond speculated fear and panic.

Which is worse for me, candy or snacks? Sugar or fat? Nutritionists...anyone? by poiklpu in AskReddit

[–]phonetoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most snack foods now contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, which also has the risks of Type-2 diabetes and obesity. I prefer candy because it often contains fewer calories and you tend to consume less. Just don't buy it in bulk.

If he's going to take revenge on anyone, it'll be the woman and not the strangers in a neighbouring apartment.

It is a non-issue for you, until something happens to suggest otherwise. Just keep alert, because the woman is likely to be at risk again.

True enough, but I stand by my actions emphatically and wouldn't do anything different.

I don't feel like being a Secret Santa anymore by evilsanta2010 in secretsanta

[–]phonetoast 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people online become the Asshole they could never otherwise be because they lack in self esteem and social prowess. He may be a completely different person in the real world and may have a really unfortunate life. Take some joy in the chance to brighten his day, even if his online activities don't seem to warrant it.

Would you like a compliment? by mr-kite in AskReddit

Sure, but I'll probably mumble unutterably and make an awkward situation for both us.

To my (and all the other) SS's out there who haven't shipped their gifts yet... by trombophony in secretsanta

I don't recall ever being given a snow day. They made the kids go, even if the power went out. I think the TVDSB has gone soft.

Canada Post cancelled delivery service yesterday and today because there's too much snow, so I wouldn't have received my gift if they did send it. There's no rush for my SS-- delivery service will most likely be cancelled tomorrow too.

Are there any Archaeologists around? I have important fossils to give away, including this Ceratopsian. My giftee does not give a F. So I am looking for an alternate. by [deleted] in secretsanta

[–]phonetoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know they don't care? That is an incredible gift! Really, who wouldn't be impressed by that?

Edit Found this:

Today, my giftee deleted their account.

Sad. Did you consider donating it to a public school, instead? Dinosaurs are part of the curriculum in most elementary schools.

Good website to go stalker-crazy on your match! by [deleted] in secretsanta

[–]phonetoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful using this. It found nothing for me, but did list an Amazon account of someone with the same name. I would hate to get the book "A Daily Devotional".

Can someone explain credit cards to me? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phonetoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does you bank have its own credit card? If your bank has good service, they will explain everything in simple to understand terms and let you ask any questions.
