I am a Project Manager, ask me anything | I'm not really expecting any questions but I'm sure you'll have a good time insinuating what a bad person I am.
Edit: Hey, real questions! I see so much trash talk about project managers on my lovely reddit that I wanted a chance to defend my kind. Judging by the 3 up 4 down vote count I guess people either don't ... |
Hey Reddit. TL;DR- Asked crush out a year ago, shot down. Got girlfriend, but still not over crush. Help inside? | So, I had a crush on this girl in my department at my university. After nursing it along for about a year and a half I asked her out. She was nice enough about saying 'no', as she was still getting over a breakup from the past fall. So, I moved on (or so I thought). I met another woman and we've been dating for abo... |
Reddit, Are we turning into the Old People afraid of younger generations? | Just flipping through the first few tabs today, and there were a few posts complaining about what young people are wearing.

The example of lowering the freezing point of water, and why it was important for people who live in snowy areas. ... |
What common traits do you find absolutely useless? | Gift wrapping is stupid. It's a lovely thought, but it's such a waste of pretty paper and time. I'd rather have a good hug for the amount of time invested wrapping a gift.
This is why Jesus invented gift bags, he used them for his disciples. Then he hugged hookers and passed out sheep-skin condoms. He was quite ... |
Hey Reddit, does anyone know the consequences of walking away from a mortgage in the Netherlands? | I have googled the hell out of this one and have yet to find any useful info, so I am hoping to tap in to the hivemind and get some advice from Redditors.

An average sized person riding a bicycle uses the same amount of energy as a car that gets 52,000 MPG. | Humans are startling efficient machines. Here's the reasoning, if you care to read it:
A gallon of gasoline contains 31,000,000 calories of energy. Cycling 12-14 MPH, a moderate pace, for one hour expends about 600 calories, assuming the rider is about 165-170 lbs. If they're 140 lbs it's 500 calories, if they're 195 ... |

Beer prices: What's the best you've seen? Where are you located? | Hi Beer Reddit,
So, I live in Massachusetts and the beer prices here are horrible (~17 dollars for a 12 pack of GOOD beer) The tax they put on it goes up all the time and the price of beer itself has also been rising. Luckily, I live on the border of MA and NH. It's about a 10 minute ride to New Hampshire but boy is i... |
Weed is too expensive, let's put it in perspective. At $10 a gram, how much would common items cost? | A good round number to work with, which seems common enough, is $10 per gram of average marijuana. So let's apply that rate to other common items.
For instance...
Wendy's Chicken Nuggets average 15g each, that is **$150 a nugget** (instead of aprox 20 cents each).
Gold Medal Flour, a 5lb bag, goes for about $6. ... |

To carry an ID, or not to carry an ID. | I was talking with some friends last night and we started wondering if it was better to carry an ID or not to carry an ID.
