I'm definitely not near enough to a border that I'd want to drive there, lol.
Idk, it just seems like a pointless expenditure for me, personally.

I don't think I've ever seen a deal cheap enough that I could afford it.
I can't even afford domestic flights to a few states over, much less overseas, so I don't see the purpose of a passport, myself.

To be honest, you probably have a better chance of surviving the stab wound than being ran over by the train, lol

Honestly, I doubt any amount of management could solve the crime issue. Pack that many disparate groups of people on top of one another and it's pretty much guaranteed to happen, lol

Although, to be honest, most noise canceling headphones are not that exact, so some noise still comes through.

Makes sense, no real point in mugging someone for their cards when they're just going to cancel them before you get a chance to use them anyway.
I suppose at this point muggings are probably focused on jewelry or small items they could take and sell rather than direct cash, which is probably enough work that it stops a lot of muggers from bothering.

While this is true, the fees for debit cards are usually smaller than the fees from credit companies, so it's still preferable to credit for a lot of businesses.

Ah, I misread and thought you meant cash was unsafe for customers to carry around, lol

Debit cards exist, in case you were unaware. And I suppose physical checks, for the 8 merchants who still accept them these days, lol.

While this is true, you don't actually need both parents to raise the child, realistically, only the female has to survive.
Although I suppose even for males, it would be more optimum to survive long enough to impregnate multiple partners in order to maximize potential surviving children, so it's still not ideal to die.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
From an evolutionary standpoint, your death is worth it if you manage to reproduce, so here we are.

I've only ever had electric stoves, so at least I don't have to worry about anything besides the fire danger, lol

I only heard about it via the internet, but it's helpful for cleaning up blood and such. Not as often as those with periods might need it, but still good to know considering how often I end up having to clean blood, lol

Hydrogen peroxide for removing blood is a great tip, very useful when I found out about it.

Thanks for that, I hope so as well, even if I don't really see it happening.
