I noticed last week that someone had put two bags of their trash into my garbage can for some reason. I've since moved where I store my can during the week, but if they'd dumped something illegal in there (wet paint for example is not dump-able in my area) could the department of sanitation trace that back to my can?

Is the term WASP exclusively used to refer to White Anglo-Saxon Protestants on the East Coast (as a way of differentiating them from East Coast Catholics whose families immigrated to the U.S. more recently), or is it also used refer to people of that background elsewhere in the U.S.? For example, would anyone refer to a White Protestant living in Mississippi whose English/Scottish ancestors came to America 250 years ago as a WASP?

Those (esp the first one) can cause skin irritation -- you might want to try switching to a shampoo that doesn't have it. If you don't want to spend a lot for an experiment, you can get travel sizes of Organix shampoo (all of their different shampoos are sulfate-free) from Ulta (online store if you don't have a physical store near you), or here's a list of sulfate-free shampoos commonly found at a grocery or drug store. Laureth yeah.

WASP certainly applies to Southerners of the type that owned plantations.

You generally wouldn't describe Joe Blow, guy from Massachusetts whose parents can be traced back to the Mayflower and is protestant, as a WASP if he works as an assistant manager at GameStop, yeah. You really do use it for quite upper class people, and maybe some of their immediate family who might have just recently stopped being rich.

I am in the process of migrating from iOS to android for these things but I have not actually decided on anything yet. It doesn't, actually. Some further looking around last night led me to qPDF, which does do reflow and might sort you out for that.

There's a series of WASP jokes that illustrate the class element: How many WASPs does it take to change a lightbulb? Two. One to call the electrician, one to mix the martinis. What do you call a six foot four WASP with a gun? Lt. Colonel. What do you get when you cross a WASP and a gorilla? Athletic scholarship to Harvard.

Normally I'd accuse you of being paranoid, but I know here they investigate asbestos dumping here even if it's just broken up tiles in a garbage bag. That said, you probably won't alert anyone unless is was obviously from a construction site or something. Just keep em under the porch so ne'er-do-wells don't get too used to it being the anonymous neighborhood dump.

I'm just trying to figure out the situation where the need is so desperate that there's not time to type a complete sentence but you wouldn't just google that. I mean, by the time you need one the cheapest solution is don't lose the one that came with the phone.

Buy an Apple one, that way the next OS update won't render it useless, and you'll be able to use it with future devices that use lightning cables. Apple have authentication chips in their cables, and their devices won't charge without a signal from them. Link here. Gawker link, so take it with a grain of salt, but there's plenty of stuff out there about it.

What's the best way to transfer money electronically that's fair for both parties? Some guy rear-ended me a few weeks ago and after a run-around with my insurance company and with the guy, he's agreed to kick me the few hundred bucks I need for my insurance's co-pay. He offered to PayPal it over but I know PayPal takes a percentage-based fee on transactions, and since he's nice enough to pay up instead of vanishing on me I figured I should at least look into transfer methods that don't have fees. I thought about asking him to use Google Wallet since they've never charged me and will also keep record of the transaction, are there any other alternatives?

Mark my words homeboy, you're doing it wrong. Even the shittiest daytime TV insurance companies would be taking care of these transactions if you were watching yourself. People don't kick you hundreds if theyre the type to work outside insurance.

People don't kick you hundreds if theyre the type to work outside insurance. Eh, I paid off someone I dinged with my door in a parking lot to avoid an insurance claim when I was first starting out driving. Lots of people want to avoid insurance on minor claims to avoid increasing their premiums. Besides, they went through insurance and the guy wants to pay C-Euro's copay, which seems abnormally kind if anything (though I'm not sure why you're paying anything if you're not at fault. It should all be covered by the other party's insurance). C-Euro posted:What's the best way to transfer money electronically that's fair for both parties?

I assume you're in a country without Interac e-transfers? I would do this in cash, personally, but it's hard to give you any options if you don't specify country. Google Wallet sounds like a good bet?

Yeah homeboy was driving with expired insurance (so they denied the claim) and a learner's permit so he just wants this to go away. Plus the "damage" is just really superficial scratching to the paint so honestly I'm not in a rush to get it repaired, but he's been calling me asking how to pay me and I'm in no position to turn down free money right now. And as long as the paint gets fixed eventually (my insurance told me they'd keep the claim open until I worked out payment with him) I'm not in the mood to really stick it to him. Also this is in the US, sorry for not saying so earlier. I think I'll try to talk him into cash, and barring that GWallet since we'd both have proof of the transaction.

Well if that's the case take the PayPal, forget the fee, and cancel the account when you get the cash. Youre thinking way too much.

I was in a car accident. Someone filed a claim saying that they wanted 100k for medical bills, later my insurance company talked them down to like... 8k. I now feel extremely guilty, because I'm worried they needed that money to pay for whatever damage I did, and just took what they could get. Should I feel guilty? Or is it standard to sue for a TON and then take whatever is offered.

It never makes sense to ask for less than you could possibly get, it's bad negotiating and it was likely a figure arrived at by their lawyer. Also if they were really gonna need 100k of treatment you probably would have known it at the scene - besides, their insurance, health and car, should cover substantial chunks already.

I had no idea that that was something more app are doing. For future reference, did I get the terminology right in calling it "reflow"? A lifetime ago I think that was the word used in Pagemaker for what happens in text boxed when resized.

I virtually guarantee most of those bills were from a chiropractor. It sounds like you didn't have any injuries, which would be unusual in an accident where the other person has $100,000 in meds, unless they were on a bicycle or something.

I think for commercial transactions the one receiving the money pays a fee, for gifts the one giving the money pays the fee though I could be wrong. Also no transaction protection if it's sent as a gift, though it's just money so it's either it gets sent or doesn't.
