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

To follow up on my last question, it appears that dog's breed has changed and that there it is a 99.9% probability that it will indeed come. The new breed: Jack Russell Terrier. Does this change the circumstances of her getting along with our 3 year old cat?

I don't think so but it will change the circumstance of you getting along with it

I'd recommend letting the Dachshund and the Jack Russell mate. Jackshunds kick ass.

If a majority of voters in the U.S. write in a specific name (say, for instance, Toilet Paper), in a federal election, is that person to become president, even if they were not running? Or do they do the second biggest, or have another election?

None of the above. Write-in campaigns have to be registered the same way balloted campaigns do, but the threshold for access is lower. If you write somebody in who isn't connected to any write-in campaigns, your vote just doesn't count for anything beyond how much you're tired of the system, man.

Is it bad when one of those power wires, the kind on poles along roads, is shooting out bug blue sparks and making a buzzing/crackling noise?

What does it mean when a cabbie gives you his card?

Yes. Contact your local power office and inform them of it if they don't already know. There's probably something wrong with the transformer or a tear in the wire.

By cabbie do you mean a cab driver? Probably for future reference and business.

That'd make sense, it being a problem with a transformer considering how right before everyone noticed the line spazzing out we noticed a big bang and a blue flash. It was dealt with pretty fast, because it was over by the pulp mill.

When tipping bad service, should you tip a penny or nothing at all?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

If you can leave a note that would best indicate that you had bad service.

How long will sushi and sashimi keep in the fridge? I'm not brave enough to eat it after about 3-4 hours but I've heard people insist it'll be fine the next day, but I suspect they just want to see me sick.

 

[Ajidica]

If it is kept in the fridge in a sealed container, it should last about a day.

I would not tip and call the waiter to explain what was wrong. Don't tip a penny - it's just childish, really, and doesn't give them any chance to correct what went wrong.

In one of the newspapers this week there was a picture of a large boat that looked like it tipped over sideways and big letters saying "SURVIVORS FOUND." Unfortunately the section it was in went missing and is most likely got thrown out. What happened? I google news it but I got something about a shark and it was a small fishing boat in the article. And something about travel trailers not selling.

The guy ran the boat into something and it tipped over? That's a very unstable boat.

Boats aren't meant to be bumper cars.

Back in the Philippine I used to drink the tap water there. It has been more than five years since that has happened. What are the chances I've lost the immunity need to tolerate said water and need to be careful about drinking it on trips to developing countries?
