The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVII

I have a question.

Suppose you have an appliance with a 3-prong plugin. The third prong (the ground) breaks off. Where would one go to get it fixed, or would it just be cheaper to get a replacement.

 

[Cutlass]

You don't fix it. Hardware stores sell replacement plugs.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Do you take the plug off and replace the plug?

What should I do if I am offered a job? Do I still file unemployment till I get my first paycheck? .

 

[cardgame]

To be on the safe side, I wouldn't.

I'd stop on the day you start work, personally, but hell I'm not a lawyer.

Phone up the office that sends you unemployment benefit, tell them your situation and ask them if you're eligible for any sort of funding. Maybe you're eligible for something else even if not for whatever you're on.

Some while ago I heard of a theory but I cant remember it. Its biological or genetic or something and the main part of the theory is that everyone is a butt-hole. Any suggestions?

No - you should generally sign off when you start working.

This can lead to a gap between receiving your last unemployment check and your first paycheck. Make sure you have your paperwork in order for your new employer to avoid delays.

Is that the starting assumption or the conclusion of that theory?

If you are limiting yourself to humans, that's entirely plausible. Otherwise, you need to include the possibility of some being cloaca-holes.

I suppose the theory she's talking about is Frank Zappa's "Every person is to be considered a *anus* until otherwise proven".

What do you mean?

 

[nonconformist]

I have no idea what you're implying.

 

[Gamemaster77]

Or it could have been the generic one that says something along the lines of "*insert unpleasant task of other thing* are like *anuses*, everyone's got one and they all stink."

The Indian dude, of course. It seems that half the people in OT are using him as their avatar. Why?

I don't get what all the hubub is about?

I'm pretty sure nonconformist isn't Indian.
