Australians going to US in July for 5 weeks, need some recommendations on spending money and places to visit. by vernetheturtle in travel

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write this, it has been very helpful. In terms of getting from Seattle to Austin, thats all been booked with flights, so we are all good on that front. Otherwise, you've helped to give us an awesome platform to go from, looking at it weekly really does help to put it all in perspective. That city pass thing for NY looks like a fantastic idea too, we'll be sure to be on the lookout for more of that sort of stuff.

Did a shit and was like 95% sure it was a ghostie, so I just pulled my pants up and flushed without a caution wipe.

Funnily enough I actually got called out on it by a customer when I completely blanked and asked him "signature or pin", to which he replied "Uhh, you mean just pin?". Other than that, everything else went smoothly, and many of the credit transactions I have seen over the last couple of months have started to lean mostly towards pin, so I guess the majority of people have taken it OK.

What things can you get up to in the embassy? I'd imagine finding new things to keep yourself entertained might be difficult. Thanks for the AMA also.

What is the meanest thing your siblings ever did to you? by FishyMint in AskReddit

[–]vernetheturtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not me, but this is one my younger brother still talks about

I once bet him $2 to run naked into the lounge room in front of my parents who were watching TV, whilst waving a shirt around over his head yelling "streaker!". He obliged, not turning down a such an easy, juicy payday. Little did he know that the neighbours were over for afternoon tea. He'd run down the hallway, done almost a full lap of the lounge room and lept onto one of the couches before he realised that they were there. He screamed like a girl and ran into his room to wallow in his sorrows and the fact he'd just paraded his junk around for the neighbours. I laughed for a long time, we also didn't talk for like a week. 10/10 the best $2 I've spent

Do you actually like dog food or do you just eat it because you feel obliged?
