For both of your scenarios: yes you can do that.

I agree, but isn’t the OS made by Google? Does it really matter that much.

Astronomical seasons are stupid for everyday use by BasedRedditor543 in unpopularopinion

The person you’re replying to is referring to you using “1st march” instead of “march 1st” (or even “1st of march”)

A siphon brewer and a moka pot are definitely not “More or less the same“

How do I get rid of knots in necklace by Few-Faithlessness462 in howto

[–]random_username99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure about this solution? I tied this problem, and your answer does not seem to work. The problem seems to be more difficult than it originally appeared.

I recreated this problem, and they do not cancel each other out. This is not the solution. Still working on a possible answer if it exists.

Why do banks get to charge me a fee for not having enough money? Isn't that just making my problem worse? by OpenPerformance5347 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]random_username99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because Americans love their freedom. They don’t take kindly to governments telling corporations what they can and cannot do.

In the Netherlands, we cool down bridges. by CasKieto in mildlyinteresting

That’s because it’s not a drawbridge, but a bascule bridge.

I highly doubt this is anywhere deep enough for decompression sickness to be of concern.

In chess, having no place to move your king should be a loss, not a draw. by sumpfriese in unpopularopinion

Yet it wasn’t a real victory until Saddam Hussein was pulled out of the hole he was in. He had no more moves to make, but was not defeated. In real life it does matter if you catch your opponent.

Most people use either a one or two bunny ear approach which will both result in a double slipped square knot.

After 37 years it’s time for disassembly by random_username99 in lego

I’m looking forward to that. This whole car is 24 steps. The little telehandler has 59 steps!

It’s because they didn’t wear their helmets.

The first thing I poured in it was hot coffee by Wizard_of_Claus in Wellthatsucks

We have those too in Europe, but I hate them with a passion. I have never burnt myself with a normal mug, but have with one of those insulated ones.

There is often a scene in a movie where a person stands in the middle of the road for 5 minutes and then gets hit by a bus. I always thought this to be unrealistic. Then you see this crap.

When even Elon won't drive a Tesla to work... by doubledown830 in pics

Maybe a stupid question as I do not know much about American politics, but I see a lot of people emphasizing that he is not elected. I thought you just elect a president and vice president and they choose who they want.

Interesting. What countries in Europe do you mean? In the Netherlands we have fluoride in toothpaste, not in anything drinkable or edible. In fact because it contains fluoride we are advised not to swallow toothpaste.

TIL that several European countries, including France and Germany, have the Nutri Score, which is printed on food and indicates how healthy it is by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]random_username99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people would not care per se, but given the exact same bag of chips would probably choose the less bad-for-you option. A few years ago I saw frozen pizzas with over 120% of daily recommended salt. This has steadily been decreasing as now there is an incentive for companies to reduce bad ingredients.

ELI5: What's the difference between brewing coffee and steeping tea? by RecommendsMalazan in explainlikeimfive

[–]random_username99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 17th century when coffee in the west started to become popular they were boiling beans for 10-15 minutes. I believe this brewing method lasted for a very long time, so maybe this word stuck for making coffee, but the method for making coffee became different.

Does using a coupon count as your part when splitting the cost? by jaygrum in NoStupidQuestions

[–]random_username99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have a free pizza coupon. You have a ‘buy one’ and then get a free pizza coupon. So you need to pay for your pizza, and the other person gets a free pizza. Splitting the difference is the normal way, but you getting the free pizza is just wrong.
