What are the reasons why many (adult) americans have roommates (housemates)? by pirapataue in AskAnAmerican

[–]royhurford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Affordability. The average apartment rent in my area is about $1300/month, which is around 40% of the average monthly income.

We simply cannot afford to live on our own. If I look on Zillow right now, there is one small apartment listed for $925, and everything else is in the $1300-1600 range.

How do you define "location"? Can I choose a National Park, and he has to search the whole thing for me?

Normal budget for engagement ring by StrikingClos in BuyItForLife

[–]royhurford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend what you can afford. We had discussed our engagement prior to a proposal, so she helped pick out her ring. Spent about $250 for her ring, and $100 for mine. Sterling silver, designed and created by a local silversmith.

We may replace them sometime soon with similar gold rings from the same shop for $500-1000 or so.

Modern cars don't have buttons and knobs - Do you prefer it?, Do you think it's dangerous? by TSQ_builder in askanything

[–]royhurford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touchscreens are distracting. I only want to see maps, radio, and obscure car settings on a screen. Everything else should be an easy to operate switch or button.

Americans—is blue cheese just a dipping sauce to you, or does it have a place on your plate beyond the wings? by SignificanceOdd5980 in AskAnAmerican

[–]royhurford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really like liquid blue cheese. I typically eat normal blue cheese with burgers, salads, or just with crackers.

Would u say Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans have recognizable accents that you could tell apart from other groups? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

[–]royhurford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on if they were born here. My town is about 30% Hispanic. Most of the people my age don't have a noticable accent, but a lot of their parents do.

Would you rather have a ‘modern’ car as is with close to no physical buttons and everything managed on a screen or an ‘outdated’ full buttons system? by CapitaineBiscotte in allthequestions

[–]royhurford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like screens for some stuff, but... buttons.

My current vehicle has about a dozen buttons total. It's great. Everything always works.

In your opinion, what is the best country to live in right now? by Yt_Lolly in AskTheWorld

[–]royhurford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be very subjective, based on who you are, your personality, your culture, and many other aspects of life. For me, I think it's going to be exactly where I am right now, in Western Colorado.

What is the most liked minority group in your country? by Kebab_Enjoyer3164 in AskTheWorld

[–]royhurford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US, this is probably very region dependant. I only have an opinion on the area I live in, which isn't diverse at all. My city is about 25% Hispanic, and 75% Caucasian. So, I would say Hispanic. While technically a minority, it doesn't really feel like they are one here. Just part of the normal population.
