Sieg posted:3. On what grounds can he issue a sobriety test? Sieg posted:4. He didn't issue a ticket, and I don't remember his name. Should I bother complaining about this situation?

Straw expands when it get wets. So you find an about right sized piece, stick it in the hole, and then trim the ends off. It'll do a pretty decent job so long as it isn't a very large bucket.

Or if you're ridiculously cheap go army surplus. I have an old Czech field jacket that cost me $2 and is my go-to outerwear for any time I don't have to dress up. It's made of what I think is thick canvas treated with some kind of water repellent. It's taken a beating and held up better than some expensive jackets I've owned.

Eggplant Wizard posted:Thank you for giving me actual reasons. I've never gotten a negative response on it (actually last time the guy was really impressed that I had loose tea and talked to me about a trip he took to England once), but I don't like to be rude. This is generally in food court type college cafes, btw; I'm not walking into free-standing coffee shops and doing that. Good to know-- I'll just pay for hot tea in the future. Goons are fuckin' weird and I would have no problem either asking for, or giving hot water. The health inspector is not going to jump out of a potted plant and shut down the Starbucks because you're drinking out of your own cup, that's just absurd. The fraction of a penny that a cup of hot water costs isn't going to put them out of business either. Buy one of their overpriced muffins once a month if you still feel bad about it.

Anything less just wouldn't be logical, beep boop. I have never worked anywhere that wouldn't gladly give out things like water or ice for free. It's good business to be nice to people and a cup of water costs a lot less than bad word of mouth. (PS. That valuable valuable water is the same water they'll mop the floor with at closing)

She talked to the MetroPCS guys, but they were unsure if there was any way to record or save a greeting off of voicemail. Does anyone know a way?

Kaiser Bill posted:So, a piece of ash (yes, from weed) burnt a small hole (maybe a cm across) in my roommate's couch cushion, and now I'm in deep poo poo. Is it common for local furniture stores or fabric shops to match the fabric and fix it? Or do I pretty much have to buy a new couch cushion (provided they're sold seperately). Never had much interest in furniture so I dunno what to expect. Any ideas? Figure out the manufacturer of the couch. There's probably a tag either under the cushions or on the bottom of the couch somewhere. You can give them a call and see if they offer replacement cushions. Other than that you may be boned. I suggest finding a way to make it up to your roommate and being more careful with your weed in the future. Fake edit: Check and see if the covers are removable, if they are your chances of an inexpensive fix are way better.

shirtninjas posted:A long time ago I found a website dedicated to a type of exercise that involved putting a muscle under tension, then immediately working it. For example (because I think I'm explaining this bad) if you jumped off of a chair, landed on the floor (so your leg muscles were under tension from catching your weight), then jumping up onto another chair before they relaxed. This was supposed to work your muscles much more than normal exercise somehow. I think the term you're looking for is plyometrics.

Gravity Pike posted:Are there different jobs that an office might hold, like just handling traffic violations, or just dealing with domestic disturbances, or do all officers "share" all of the different types of jobs? Depends on the department. As a general rule larger departments are more specialized, and smaller ones tend to be more general. If you live in a relatively large metro area it is very likely that your PD has a traffic division that spends the majority of its time enforcing traffic laws and that would not normally respond to a run of the mill non-violent weirdo call. They would of course respond to serious crimes or calls for assistance. It's also possible that since you noted the officers who showed up were dressed differently that they were from a different agency entirely. Your office is likely served by overlapping agencies. For example you may routinely see your State Troopers enforcing traffic outside, while your local police/sheriff responded to the call.
