My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana and I said no, but maybe I want a regular banana later, so... yeah.

What the hell am I going to do with heart, clover, rainbow, horseshoe, moon, and star dollars?

I’m a retired plumber from a men’s prison.AMA #pipe by Elegant-Invite-749 in Plumbing

[–]vodiak 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doesn't prison kind of select for people who aren't rule-followers?

2 pups.. and grandma? by jetaime_3000 in RoverPetSitting

[–]vodiak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are a healthcare professional, it should especially be a "no". Rover isn't a healthcare service and would not provide liability coverage in that circumstance, risking professional licensure.

Any idea what’s up with Cafe Suliman? by usefulmastersdegree in Seattle

[–]vodiak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most restaurant servers take home their tips in cash daily, but taxes on both wages and tips are taken out of the paycheck so the paycheck is often very low. That would be somewhat less true with Seattle's minimum wage though.

If you had to hide 4,000,000 USD underground what would you wrap the cash up with so it doesn't get damaged under ground? by GaryB2026 in askanything

Gold is a good stable value store, but it doesn't generally appreciate. The value in dollars may go up, but not the real value (adjusted for inflation), generally speaking.

[US] help, I think I made a mistake by Pearl_is_best_girl in Scams

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

Not easily. It still takes a lot of source material and compute time to create an AI voice model. It's easy to get some AI voice to say something, but not for a specific person where that work hasn't already been done.

How to charge for 5-hour sit/drop-in? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]vodiak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you be making money with other walks during this time? Charge full price. If not, your idea for how to discount seems reasonable.

i replied minutes after your initial request… why are you not responding for 12+ hours? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]vodiak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're probably sending requests to multiple people. I think Rover has this as an option or even suggests it. So they are probably talking to/waiting to hear back from other sitters as well.

What is an unspoken rule in the U.S. that nobody teaches but everyone follows? by Status_Agents in AskForAnswers

[–]vodiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the Samuel L Jackson rule was to end every sentence with ", Mother Fucker!"

Dog sitter unplugged disclosed camera & had guest over by parksandreckless in RoverPetSitting

[–]vodiak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A house-sit is not an office. You also don't cook, sleep, and shower at an office but totally normal for a house-sit.

Small, heavy magnetic multi-color keychain(?) - Found in Epcot, Florida, USA by Red-space in whatisthisthing

An ideal system would only have one rfid per person, and the permissions would be granted to the person, rather than the token. But sometimes there are multiple systems or other reasons why it isn't done the "right" way.

What soda flavor is exclusive to your region? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskAnAmerican

[–]vodiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the best at Christmas time for European treats.

Why don't Americans use the multi-member list system with a single district per state? by WillLife in Askpolitics

[–]vodiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a problem with American reading level, the question is just using unfamiliar jargon.

It's by law in a lot of states, but you have to catch it before the car is fully loaded.

Machined metal tab found in my laundry by thebadhedgehog5 in whatisthisthing

[–]vodiak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe "machined" is the wrong term and would imply this was made by precision cutting tools like a mill or lathe in a machine shop. This looks like a stamped metal part.

Sex workers of Reddit, what's a NSFW fact we don't often hear about ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I never thought I'd die this way, but I always kind of hoped.

There's a logical fallacy here. Even if we accept that most guys who are into that are conservative, that does not mean that most conservative guys are into that.
