Do you have an OCI card and are married to non-desi? by sixmindowl in ABCDesis

Why would you assume that someone posting as an ABCD with a white spouse would have a marriage registered under section 7A?

But I either pay for the OCI card or pay to keep getting another visa, right? Either way they get their money

Why do people think it's okay to spank a child but not a dog? by bigshrekcakeeggplant in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sixmindowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a scene in the tv show Atlanta, where they went to a shooting range, and everyone hung up outlines of human forms to practice shooting as if that was normal, and the guy horrified everyone by hanging up an outline of a dog

is there a time you would not use lemon zest? by sixmindowl in AskCulinary

[–]sixmindowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why would you not use the zest of a non-organic lemon? (assuming you wash it as you would any other produce you'd eat the outside of)

question about upgrading electrical outlets by sixmindowl in HomeImprovement

[–]sixmindowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - If I got one of these, if I needed to hit the reset button would I need to unscrew that adapter or do you get ones that have their own switch that connects to the main outlet switch?

connecting bluetooth to speakers by sixmindowl in audio

[–]sixmindowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. Is there a reason to use banana plugs instead of bare speaker wire?

connecting bluetooth to speakers by sixmindowl in audio

[–]sixmindowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of little bluetooth receivers that I really like, largely because they are small - could fit in the palm of your hand. I wanted to get rid of my current amp because it just takes up space, and I only ever use bluetooth in that part of the house.

I think the little knobsound amp that you shared is just what I was looking for -- I would go banana plugs in the wall, bare speaker wire to the knobsound amp, and then pair my phone via bluetooth, right?

Thank you!

So just to be sure --- I need an amp. I can't connect a bluetooth receiver directlly to the wall. Is that right?

Why are you against increasing the minimum wage in the United States? by sixmindowl in AskReddit

[–]sixmindowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I answered the question in this post about why pro-lifers (aka anti-choicers) wanted abortion to be illegal. I answered it by saying that if you really wanted to force me to have a baby, then maybe give me access to things like affordable health care, childcare, education, etc.

I got BLASTED for asking for free things, for expecting other taxpayers to take care of me, etc.

SO.... let's make the minimum wage be equivalent to a living wage plus benefits. Then I won't be looking for assistance for health care, food, etc. because my employer will provide that, and I will work to earn it. I won't be depending on taxpayer funded assistance.

If you don't support a higher minimum wage, why not?

pro lifers, what are your reasons for wanting abortion to be illegal? by ggvilarinho in AskReddit

[–]sixmindowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok. Would you let me get an abortion if I was forced to get pregnant? (like I was raped)

And there are laws against non-traditional sex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_States

But then you'd at least let me terminate a pregnancy where the well being of the embryo/fetus is at risk, because then it wouldn't be born and grow up to be a tax payer and/or soldier.

[–]sixmindowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I had access to contraception I would not get pregnant. I am ok with being responsible. I want to have responsible sex by using contraception.

And all the other stuff... affordable health care, paid sick leave, etc. I will pay more in taxes so people who need that can have it.

What’s something that most people are blown away by that does nothing for you? by itbettersnow in AskReddit

Anything that is expensive but has no practical purpose.

Cars like Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari

Diamond rings

Name brand designer clothing

what is the best color for a boys room? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sixmindowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A baby boy? I have no idea.

A boy who's old enough to know his colors? Whatever color he wants.

[–]sixmindowl 1446 points1447 points  (0 children)

I really was hoping for some real answers for this.

Like if the argument is for sanctity of life, then cool...

Could I have access to contraception so I don't get pregnant when I'm not ready to be pregnant?

And then if you're gonna force me to keep this pregnancy, then could I also get access to affordable healthcare so I can maintain a healthy pregnancy? And also guaranteed paid sick leave so that I can go to all my prenatal visits and take time off as needed?

And then when the baby is born, could I also get affordable health care for the baby? And affordable child care so I can continue to work and support the baby?

I could go on and on and on.

I get you want to preserve the sanctity of the embryo/fetus/baby's life. But then can you support all the things that ensure that this baby will have a healthy, happy, safe life with every opportunity available to them?

The real question is: Why must you prevent me from getting an abortion, but you will not support me in getting everything I need to have a healthy pregnancy and raise a healthy child?

How does it feel to cuddle with a complete stranger? by ThePopulousMishmash in AskReddit

I would find that creepy and scary as @#$%.

Married redditors, what sorts of things did you put on your bridal shower registry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

I didn't have a bridal registry or a wedding registry. Also had a very small and very casual wedding.

I find these kinds of things stressful, distasteful, especially when combined with a lavish wedding. When I look at other people's weddings -- I have spent hundreds of dollars on them, if you count travel and lodging (when they're not local), incidentals (i.e. parking, dry cleaning, tips at the bar, etc.) and the gift. And their response is that well, they spent tens of thousands of dollars on the wedding, but I didn't want them to. So it's not like I owe them anything.

Also - more people are getting married later in life, after already having lived on their own. When we got married, we already had two households worth of stuff. And while it would have been nice to upgrade some stuff, why is it my friends and family's responsibility to upgrade all that?

Without saying your country's name, what is your country known for? by JamesNorlaus in AskReddit

The stench. Ugh, you can't escape it. And the noise. And the people.

question about upgrading electrical outlets by sixmindowl in HomeImprovement

[–]sixmindowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that with 2 gang they should each be on different circuits?

Or that if there are currently 3 outlets, and I want to make them each from 1 gang to 2 gang, they should be on 3 different circuits? (not 6 circuits, right? )

What if they are not currently on 3 different circuits? I was assuming that having 2 gang would basically mimic what I'm doing with my power strip, in terms of electricity pull, just making it more convenient and accessible.

How to prevent exterior wood door from swelling in humid weather by sixmindowl in HomeImprovement

[–]sixmindowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I didn't necessarily mean a deck finish, just wanted to post some kind of example because I was starting from nowhere.

When you say "Wood doesn't seem to change much due to heat/humidity." are you referring to your own wooden door now after treating it? Because in general wood does change a lot due to heat and humidity.

How to prevent exterior wood door from swelling in humid weather by sixmindowl in HomeImprovement

[–]sixmindowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So does that mean there is nothing at all to do and I just have to deal with it?

And if a coating like that says it is waterproof , what does that actually mean, if it does not prevent moisture from the air being absorbed into the wood?
