Fair enough, my Canadian bias snuck in there.
- Comment on Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name) 3 weeks ago:
Seems strange to me, but you do you!

Wouldn’t you be common-law after 35 years?
- Comment on My job offers "free" online consultations for mental health reasons. Every single "available" slot is during working hours. 2 months ago:
Specific to the USA “70-78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck” source
- Comment on it takes time to start appreciating imperfections instead of beauty 5 months ago:
This is a fair part assesment, however you also have to consider how people take care of their tools. A 40 year old tool that looks as beat up as a 5 year old tool has been taken care of better by the owner/user.
That said, I feel like we all have that massive sacrificial flat head that’s no longer flat, super warped, got electrical bites, and still keeps chugging.

- Comment on This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ 6 months ago:
The picture shows ISBN 9781784708276
I search this to get the title: “Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures”
I see £, so I’m going to assume it’s the UK. I pitched Manchester as a city to search.
I search the book.
Seven 2021 versions, three 2020 versions, and audio book are available.

0.0£ at your local library.
- Comment on Yes, you cannot, so to do it do like this 6 months ago:
Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It’s against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.
So yes, you CAN, but it’s against their community standards.

You got libraries where you are?
Mine does online rentals for digital products (movies, TV, audiobooks, ebooks).
- Comment on I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping 7 months ago:
My 5G mobile coverage improves about 7 days after my annual shot.
I figure by 2027 I can ditch my home router.
- Comment on Live Nation/Ticket Master won't give you your tickets unless you install their app 7 months ago:
I lived in a small town with a small theatre.
If you couldn’t make a show, you called it in and they’d try to resell your ticket; if they succeed, you we’re refunded. So there was no “due date/time” but the sooner you asked them to resell, the better your odds.
- Comment on This grocery store charges a hefty handling fee and asks for a tip when using online ordering. 7 months ago:
Don’t forget to tip Galen Weston.
- Comment on This isn't a "hybrid" schedule, that's a 4 day work week 10 months ago:
It’s hybrid because you get to work from home when we want you to work evenings and weekends!
- Comment on This fucking scourge, when you own a business. Even if it's the top result in a search in your area 10 months ago:
Hi! I was checking your website.
- Comment on This person's rejection reason 11 months ago:
Just set your profile to @ not US system and your birthday will be 20/4 instead!
- Comment on Current state of Reddit 11 months ago:
When I need something, I go through my self-hosted libreddit instance.
I’ve also set up autoforwarding in case I accidentally click a Reddit link in the wild.
- Comment on Possible headcanon reason why consoles always explode on the bridge 11 months ago:
Consoles are rigged with explosives to keep the lower decks in line.
- Comment on Oh great, I'm applying to a university that doesn't proofread their own stuff. 1 year ago:
Exactly
- Comment on Oh great, I'm applying to a university that doesn't proofread their own stuff. 1 year ago:
College/university can be inclusive of those who have done / are doing both.
Someone who has attended, or is attending, college and university would have to answer no to “college or university”
- Comment on Oh great, I'm applying to a university that doesn't proofread their own stuff. 1 year ago:
Even as a grammar expert, it’s easier to find other’s typos than your own.
I’m a ruthless editor that can drill in and find minute details and the smallest errors in two languages.
I’ve also misspelled my own name in formal documents.
- Comment on I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries 1 year ago:
I’ve got a black diamond headlamp that I’ve been using for 20 years. Cost me less than $40, runs in triples, has seen some serious shit, been banged, stomped, and submerged. It’s still going strong (I assume. It’s been in a box for a year, but the last time I left it in a box for two years, it just needed new batteries).
- Comment on Linux thinks "linux" is not a word 1 year ago:
I logically know you meant this as in a noun that refers to a specific person, place, or thing.
But I’m just reading as a British person excited about a noun. “Proper fucking noun, innit”
- Comment on Shrinkflation hits IKEA Family by removing 5% discount 1 year ago:
There is no free Ikea coffee in Québec or Ontario.
The member card here gives access to some discounts (not a flat discount, but discounts on whatever thing they decided to put on sale) and an extended return window.
- Comment on Shrinkflation hits IKEA Family by removing 5% discount 1 year ago:
I am capable of drinking enough free coffee to equate a 5% discount.
- Comment on Shrinkflation hits IKEA Family by removing 5% discount 1 year ago:
So the tables are really lacking?
- Comment on I'm watching Wargames(1983), could local people have heard the missile doors opening during a test? 1 year ago:
In short, very isolated. At least 8km for the nearest town, which are normally tiny.
Here’s a subset of launch sites as an example : newyorkprepper.com/…/u-s-nuclear-missile-silo-fie…
The is purposely done, both for security of the sites themselves, and security of people who would happen to live near sites.
