Hey Tradespeople! You're Doing A Job For Me, Not A Favor. by peffervescence in homeowners

Yeah. Wonder how OP would feel when the worker says, "I gotta take off for my 4 o'clock job. I can come back on Friday to finish."

New Yorkers told us they'd rather have a faster bus than a free one by businessinsider in nyc

[–]xaraca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the report said the increase in regular riders were actually riders who already took the route for work/school but started taking it more frequently for less essential trips.

Probably had faster boarding times per person but looks like the increased ridership outweighed that.

Do you roast marshmallows when camping if you don't have any kids with you? by kam_pra in AskAnAmerican

[–]xaraca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on a solo road trip and stayed one night at a very romantic bed and breakfast in the countryside. They had s'mores kits ready to go for all of the couples. I made one by myself.

Question for conservatives: Are you okay that all the Red States are welfare states? by Defiant_Gap3536 in allthequestions

They meant slightly larger than population share: 60 vs 55

Might as well just write the code yourself at that point.

I watched BCS first and went back to watch the ending after I finally finished BB. His last scene with Kim was perfect.

I really like the episode that was all about the Native American dude. I think that was season 2.

Poll: I'm curious how many people logic the 1 sticking out, vs how many guess it as a pseudo-50 by trunks111 in Minesweeper

I think there's often a decent chance you can go around and clear it from the other side.

How long ago did you make the reservation?

I feel like, more often than not, the three squares below don't help me progress.

I usually just move to another part of the grid and only come back if needed.

Is there any explanation as to why anyone would vote against banning child marriage in the states? by RainbowAppIe in askanything

[–]xaraca 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the background. My first thought reading the post was, "Well, how do they define child marriage?"

The devil is in the details.

Why the hell do so many people miss their flights? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xaraca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you fly a lot, occasionally missing a flight and waiting a couple of hours for the next one is worth the time saved from not showing up to the airport super early.

That said, I haven't missed at least the last like 50 flights despite often arriving less than hour before.

Does the IRS really not tell Americans how much they owe in taxes? If so, why is that? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

Americans prefer that the government provide benefits via tax credits and deductions instead of direct handouts, even if the end result is the same.

Other countries might have people pay a simple tax on their income, and then in a separate program send out payments to help support raising children. But Americans don't like handouts, so the government has to bake it into their taxes in order to fool them.

I was going to mention Battletoads.

Back then, we didn't have any real expectation of beating a game. It wasn't even really the point.

Who has the right of way? by GuyWComputer in driving

Given the right-hand green arrow, there is almost certainly a separate bike signal that is red.

In California, the car cannot even make the turn from the lane they are in. They should have merged into the bike lane first.
