Call Now posted:What's the dfference between jars and mason jars? A mason jar is a specific type of jar. It has a metal screw ring and a separate disc with rubber or wax to seal the jar.  Other types of jars exist, like jelly jars, candy jars, apothecary jars and those ones with the hinge thingy.

If you're looking for an alternative to the big banks, you might also look into credit unions. I use a credit union for my check depositing (since my main banks are online), and they are frequently lauded for a lot of the same customer service benefits USAA is.

tarepanda posted:Is it possible to rent a car in America without having car insurance? If you mean "I do not have insurance, and wish to rent a car," then yes, it's actually quite easy; every car rental place (that I've ever heard of, anyway) will simply charge you an additional fee in order to use their insurance. Additionally, as was said above, your credit card may cover it. Keep in mind that many rental agencies won't rent to you if you're under 25.

I'm 28 and an ex-pat, so I don't have a car or insurance, but I'd like to rent one in a few weeks when I go back.

tarepanda posted:What kind of fee are we talking about here? I'd hit up three or four different car rental companies (preferably at the airport where you're landing), figure out which one is offering you the best deal. Do you still have an American credit card? Check the terms (or just call them). They probably provide coverage, provided you don't get the additional coverage from the agency (and assuming it is not a moving truck, but just a car for getting around).

I live in a "right to work" state. So they can fire me for literally no reason with no repercussions.

Well for one thing they can't fire you for being a whistleblower, right to work state or not.

I mean, it's illegal to fire someone in retaliation, but realistically they'd fire you for something like "poor attitude" and I guess you could hire a lawyer and take them to court, but that costs money.

One more question: If I want to rent a specific kind of car (a Subaru Forester would be nice), is that possible at all? I'm looking in the Harrisburg-Chambersburg area, if that helps at all. It probably doesn't since there's nothing there.

On the topic of rental cars, be advised that at most places you need a credit card -- for some reason a debit card will NOT work for this, no matter how much money is in the account. (I learned this one the hard way.)

Do people who are allergic to bee stings generally have allergic reactions to other insect stings as well?Floppychop posted:I live in a "right to work" state. So they can fire me for literally no reason with no repercussions. Right-to-work is a union thing and has nothing to do with this. What you're describing is at-will employment.

This is what I was getting at. I'm sure he values his job more than a potential lawsuit payout 5 years from now. You're essentially organizing the staff into a union and collective bargaining them into paying when you're on the clock. The entire staff has to say, as a whole "this is an illegal practice and NONE of us are willing to work like this." Then she either has to fire the entire staff or cave. Having the entire staff involved sways the power in your favor. It's easy to replace one person, hard to replace 8, especially if no one is around to train new staff.

I never bothered to get an actual credit card until I was 33, I'd rented cars fine on a debit card, it does put a large hold/pre-approval on the card though. I'd always thought the insurance the rental place sells is just comp/coll, liability goes off of your own ins? (My visa credit card now covers what rental place sells at no charge)

Can someone just reassure me that I don't have rice stuck in my wisdom tooth socket? I had them all extracted five days ago, so I am pretty sure it is impossible to lose a grain of rice back there but I am also super squeamish about it.

Here's a stupid one. I need to see my primary care doctor about something*, but getting an appointment within the next couple days is proving difficult. My insurance makes using a different primary care/family physician office a pain in the rear end, so I can't really change doctors quickly to one who's more open, either. (At least, not while having coverage for said visit.) So I figure tomorrow I'll find a nearby walk-in clinic and ask them to take a look. Is there anything I should know about finding/picking one, like insurance issues, quality, cost, anything like that? * if anyone cares, it's a rash on my wrist. Kinda looks like it might be scabies but ~internet diagnosis~ and all. Itches like a bastard.

What is the movie I'm thinking of? It's at least pre-2002. I don't remember much other than this: There is a woman living in an apartment. In the unit below her lives a man that spies on her and has a diagram he drew on his ceiling of the layout of all her furniture.

Do that a lot and if there's anything back there it should pop out eventually.

You can buy a number of different forms of insurance when renting a car, including liability insurance. I know there's Hertz at Harrisburg airport; here's the summary of their liability product.

To your tongue everything feels huge and foreign after extraction. It's probably a little flap of healing gum that will drive you insane if you let it.

Here you go: https://www.google.com/search?source=ig&rlz=&q=cherry+rain+split Basically, cherries split like that if it rains at the wrong time before harvest or if they weren't picked when ripe or if the cherry wears tight pants and ate too many cheeseburgers or the cherry is a depressed teenage girl who just cant take it any more.

Ah thanks, that makes sense. I always knew they were fine to eat but I never had a clue where they came from and whenever I googled something like "what's the deal with the brown things on cherries" it gave me results about brown rot on cherry tree leaves or something.

It's not your fault. You have to use bing.com for searches composed in Seinfeldian.
