  • "it's just a few bad apples"

    That's only half the saying. It is used most of the time as if the full thing is "a few bad apples aren't a problem because the rest are fine" rather than the real thing "a few bad apples spoil the lot."

  • Yes, that's why if you don't have cancer it is dangerous (to the quarters it family members). If you do have cancer, you are going from having cancer to a slightly higher than average risk of a different cancer in the future. It's worth getting treated.

  • I was rear ended while waiting to make a left turn on a rural highway. We got out and look at the car behind us. The windshield is completely splattered in red. It was two guys eating chips and a bowl of salsa.

  • I was just in Japan a couple weeks ago. Kyoto was incredibly crowded at the tourist spots, but it was the peak of cherry blossoms so I expected it to be crowded. I didn't meet a single unfriendly person while we were there, it's definitely worth it.

  • I don't understand why anyone would argue against a garden. Should my yard just be grass? Why shouldn't I plant something I can eat in it? It doesn't matter if it's less efficient than industrial farming, it's basically unused land to start with.

  • I've only heard this said by Indian people, so I've been assuming that when I see it written online it's Indians. Per that link it looks like all over the US it's at least occasionally used. That's crazy, and I can't stand it; hopefully this doesn't become standard.

  • If it's Wednesday, "Friday" or "this Friday" would describe the day in 2 days. "Next Friday" would be 9 days away. I think it's clear and have never had an issue with people not knowing which day is being discussed. Maybe people around here are more consistent about it than other areas?

  • You are describing a put option, a contract to sell the stock at the end date for whatever price is in the contract. The opposite is a call option, a contract to buy the stock at the set price.

    Shorting and puts are a bit different. To short a stock, you borrow the shares and sell them today, then need to give back shares at a later date to the person you borrowed them from.
