Random Thought Thread v2

I use my points for flights, and it's basically a dollar value point trade, so you can use all your points and cash, and in the end it is just that points are worth less than cash. I think it's pretty transparent.

If you are on the RBC rewards site, a couple times I've been able to book the cheap outbound, upgraded return, and only had to pay the upgrade for the second flight but the first automatically gets the same perks and upgrade. That was with Westjet flights, and it may be fixed now but it worked for a few years.


Sometimes they have gift card deals, so things like Amazon are worth watching and chasing in on.

Are Avion the same way where fees and surcharges are stupid?

It’s probably below average. There are better cards out there. I still have one but the points are pretty useless.

The fact that there was an 'MTV Channel' for the past 20 years seems crazy.

So..."Oh noes! We're going off the air! End of era!!"

I thought they'd been dead for decades. Didn't miss them then and wont miss them now.

The US MTV channels are still alive. They just killed their remaining international channels.

After a poo people do up their belts before washing their hands.
people never wash their belts.

The alternative is nuts

The problem is washrooms typically don't have belt dryers, so you end up with a soggy waist band.

Hand washing is a performative exercise to placate a timid society, unless you intend to put your hands in the other person’s mouth. Even then a few random bacteria are probably the least concerning in the hand to mouth experience.

People use their phone while going to the bathroom, after wiping, while eating, basically all the time. When was the last time you gave your phone a clean let alone a thorough disinfect?

A family doctor who wears a tie sees dozens of patients a day and might wear that tie once per week and he handles that tie every time he ties it. That tie has been within a metre of every sick patient he has seen and been to the bathroom with him every time, and in his career it has never been washed.

Wash your hands, people.

“People”

Why do you need to use your phone after wiping and before washing your hands?

I lived with a guy for 3 years. One day he came home from work and said, "I learned today that you wash your hands after you poop for other people! it never bothered me, so I didn't. But other people might think it's gross to touch a door handle or light switch after I wiped."

Gee thanks man, I've been living with you for 3 years and you never washed your hands after ####ting?

Theres a reason I avoid shaking hands with people

These are the people who falsely claim a restaurant gave them food poisoning. Non-gross people do too when they eat without washing off the #### from doorknobs that gross people contaminated.

Was it George Carlin who said he doesn't wash his hands after a piss? I only wash my hands WHEN I PISS ON THEM.

Being married I can attest to my dink being the cleanest part of my body. Its gets polished hourly.

The doctor has warned you every single time you come in to stop licking his tie.
