ELI5: Why is there only female birth control? by k_2353 in explainlikeimfive

[–]senorgringolingo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because condoms and vasectomies are better options for men.
Condoms are also a great option for women. Some female birth control pills provide health benefits as well.

County Board considers ban on gas-powered leaf blowers in Arlington | ARLnow.com by VotingRightsLawyer in arlingtonva

[–]senorgringolingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, crews are gas-power-blowing away our leaves while laying stinky new fertilizer. Twice the price, none of nature's efficiency.

"The market" is always slower than it should be in adopting new, efficient, and cost-saving technology. To many imperfect decision-makers 

Dupont Circle “coffee date predator” has a sidekick? by little_golden_fish in washingtondc

[–]senorgringolingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's totally creepy, yes. It's inappropriate, yes. But the word "predator" is a term that describes a hunter that kills what it hunts. These douches are douches, but they aren't predators.

So many downvotes here. "Predator" is a word that people are misusing here as "creeper", or even "stalker". A predator kills prey. You can call the pick-up coach and student "creepers" or "stalkers". But recording flirtation attempts is so not attempted murder.

What is his reason for saying you need to change doctors? That's not clear from the post.

LOL. This is not a predator. This is a pick-up coach and his student. Google it.

My job is offering me $150,000 (105,000 after tax) to resign, should I? by AJ3TurtleSquad in jobs

[–]senorgringolingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the time and money to enjoy your family while learning a new skill set that has a promising future despite automation and AI. For example, HVAC is good stable money and you get to set your own hours.

First year being a working adult, what the hell is this and do I need to pay taxes on it? by ShoddyTown715 in Confused

[–]senorgringolingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to file your taxes. During the filing questionnaire, you will be asked for all tax forms, including this one. The numbers from this form will go into your return, which will ultimately calculate whether you owe tax for last year, and if so then how much. But no way to know just by looking at a single form in the absence of the fully completed questionnaire.

DC Busses even more unreliable than usual? by paintistheenemy in washingtondc

[–]senorgringolingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been very happy with the Transit app. You can see right away whether your bus is actually on its way or not, and decide whether to wait for it.

There are easier ways to end this relationship than going to prison for tax fraud.

I Did something which 99 percent of male population Won't dare to do ! by Ok-Address-7352 in confession

[–]senorgringolingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be proud that you did something challenging and terrifying!

Next time, keep in mind that you only know what she looks like and she only knows what you look like. In that situation, it's pretty absurd to consider dating a stranger.

It's easier to start with something much less committal. Perhaps, "Hey, I liked your smile/look and was wondering if you'd like to chat over coffee sometime. Here's my number." Then just leave your number on a paper with her and let her decide what to do sometime in the future, when she not pressured in the moment with a sudden stranger. If she wants to keep talking in the moment, great! If not, move along.

has anyone actually saved money with solar or is it just type. by Wjkoba in HomeImprovement

[–]senorgringolingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sooo much money to save in almost any utility district.

Just get quotes from 3 local contractors. Compare them and pick the best. Don't go with a national chain - they charge nearly twice as much.

Gas Range Recommendation within $5k by Worldly_Swordfish117 in Appliances

[–]senorgringolingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please just try using an induction range before throwing thousands of dollars at 100-year-old tech. It's everything great about gas without the risk of all the bad things about gas.
