I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

It was more than just the phone books. Back before smart phones, if you needed to look up a phone number you’d call information (411) and they’d look it up for you. For instance, if you were stuck on the side of the road and needed a tow truck.

Information would be able to look up businesses close to where you were using the NPA/NXX of the phone number you were calling from (the first six digits of the number including the area code) and then give you a couple options in alphabetical order.

I had a client who had a phone number in every exchange in NYC and had a name like “AAA Towing” so no matter where in NYC you called information for a tow truck from, they’d usually be the first option given to you.

I have a row of macro keys on my keyboard on the left side. I thought I’d be smart and add copy and paste macros (that were near mm’s away from Ctrl) and I never used them.

Muscle memory would always take over and I’d Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. I realized it would take more work to train myself to use the macro keys (and God forbid I used a different keyboard) than I was saving not having to press a key combination

Same on windows. Works in most applications except some Microsoft Office apps (like Excel and Word) that have a separate “past as text” option.

If your wife is constantly having dreams about you cheating on her there’s probably a deeper issue that needs to be explored.

If that’s the case, in most states they’d get into a lot of trouble if they don’t follow those times. A lot of states (well, the cities and towns within those states) have regulations that businesses open to the public must display their business hours on the front. It’s why you see them everywhere. Even in offices that probably have little to no “walk-in” traffic.

The tl;dr of that article isn’t even “no”. It provides both sides of the accounts and references academics that argue both ways.

I read it to make the same argument you did, but ended up considering it a surprisingly well written article.

Trash? Stadium Arcadian was a good album, but Californication was one of the most well put together albums ever.

There’s not really enough info in the article to say for sure, but I don’t think it takes over 8 hours to fly from Houston to Seattle, so that requirement probably didn’t apply.

Interestingly the only paperwork you need is a document from a vet that says the animal is healthy. If the flight is more than 8 hours then you also need a document from the vet that the animal can go the entire flight without reliving itself.

I don’t think that’s what people mean when they say “people should be required to provide documentation when bringing a service animal on a plane”.

Probably a similar response as the women trying to enter the museum before 1965.

When I was in college in 2000 I took a media class. One of the assignments was to spend 24 hours keeping a log of every ad you come across. Physical, digital, didn’t matter. I gave up before noon because I had multiple pages of ads written down.

There’s no escaping them.

They’re Zendesk icons. It looks like that company uses Zendesk for their help desk.
