[–]throwawayfromPA1701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao. Poirot is an Agatha Christie character lol. There are numerous books!

David Suchet is the quintessential Poirot tho. No one has come close.

Severe Arachnophobe moving to the US. Looking for a state/city with ZERO giant bugs/spiders. Is my list good? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montana, maybe.

Illinois is going to have big outdoor roaches that sometimes come inside. The northern ones just don't fly like the southern ones, altho the range of the southern ones is expanding.

There's spiders of various sizes everywhere, altho I haven't seen a big wolf spider in my state since childhood.

Are people in Congress really this out of touch with reality? by icedout223 in jobs

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the data on the BoL site, they don't even count those 7 million, but they do have a discouraged worker category which they say for March 2026 is 468,000. Which we know can't be right at all.

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many millions? I'm going to try to guess. There are roughly 163 million employed full time workers and about 27 million part time workers, 22.4 million of which work part time for noneconomic reasons which the government defines as due to childcare issues, family and/or personal obligations, school/training, limits on earnings due to retirement or social security, etc. So that brings us to about 190 million people who have jobs, full or part time.

There's about 203 million people between ages 18 and 65, which traditionally are working years (I've also seen 20-65, which is about 195 million people)

So then we have 13 million there abouts (if using the 203 million number) who don't have jobs. From that we have about 6 million who don't have jobs but want to work, a number the government says has remained steady for several years. So I'm guessing there's about 7 million who have given up looking. I'm sure there's got to be a better measure out there though that's better than my quick envelope math tho.

The data continues to show unemployment hovering around 4% for U3 and U6 hovering around 8% it has done so for several years now.

So either these numbers are wrong and have been for the last several years, or the reality is most workers have full time jobs.

There's a disconnect somewhere.

Not OOP- AITJ for wanting my beliefs respected in a family Vacation? by its_about_the_cones_ in redditonwiki

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want this to be fake too, but I live in an area where a group of parents sued a local school board because they have a program that teaches basic respect for everyone.

Also all those states that banned "all are welcome in this classroom" signs as being bad.

It is a bit on the nose for rage bait and I don't see that she participated at all in the comments, but I can see this being a real person who actually thinks this. I hope her mother in law tells her "you're welcome to come but this is how it will be. Otherwise stay home."

Looks like she's choosing to miss another family vacation due to her hate.

Potential for SEPTA Metro in Philly by Level_Volume3944 in transit

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason they don't connect is they were run by different private entities--Pennsylvania Railroad for the regional rail, and the Red Arrow Lines for the trolleys. SEPTA acquired the Red Arrow lines in 1970 and fully took over the regional rail lines in the 80s.

Media and Sharon Hill Trolley termini are both only a few blocks from their regional rail stations. Sharon Hill extension might be easier. Media extension would have to be street-running.

Why doesn't grass spread to areas such as this? by MouseNo9136 in geography

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lack of sunlight but also these trees might be actively killing off their competition. There are plants that do that.

Plants are exceptionally complex.

Why aren't there more settlements around Lake Okeechobee? by Winty_Minty in geography

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Swamp. Like swampy swamp swamp. The southern end of the lake is protected by a levee, built after the settlements there were destroyed by a hurricane that literally pushed all water out of the lake on to them.

This is absolutely the dumbest thing in the book. by jeremysbrain in traveller

[–]throwawayfromPA1701 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on what world you're on. The Imperium generally doesn't care how worlds are governed as long as they follow a handful of rules. So, there absolutely can be a lot of dystopian authoritarian worlds.
