  • I'm going to say a Marriott in Manhattan, roughly in August 2007. I forget exactly where, but it was close to the WTC site.

    I was on a business trip, and I wasn't paying for it. The room wasn't dirty or anything, but its just felt delapidated. There was wallpaper peeling in a couple of spots.

    It certainly wasn't horrible, but I just remember thinking about the fact that this just-adequate room in a major chain hotel was costing five hundred dollars a night.

    I shudder to think what it would cost now.

  • I think I have seen this and been confused by it. Does it mean that nobody should assume they have right of way? For example, having right of way isn't necessarily an excuse for being in an accident because you didn't give way to someone driving badly.

    If a person didn't yield at a sign saying they should, and caused an accident as a result, they are demonstrably at fault.

  • I visited Costa Rica on a business trip around twenty years ago. The thing that blew my mind was every person in the building, after we got back from lunch, trooping to the bathroom and brushing their teeth. That's public health done right.

  • They look like a gas furnace and a hot water tank. My first thought was "Why are they connected? ", because I thought the tank had its own heating element. My second thought was "Aren't those water lines? How does a water line become incandescent?"

  • This is correct. Hay can be used as fodder for animals, whereas straw cannot. It can be used for many other purposes, however, like animal bedding, building material, decorating your suburban yard in fall...
