The one about saying sorry after a car crash being akin to admitting guilt is NOT true in Canada.

This is true in Canada. “I’m sorry” is not an admission of guilt. Should be true in the USA as well.

It can help a little, by reducing the amount of juice that makes it into the air. But it's def not a fix all. Strong onion still = ouch eyes

PSA: calculator one is wrong, CE means "clear everything", so it will clear the entire calculation. C only clears the current number.

So for me i always feel better after throwing up if that is in fact the feeling i feel... why stop the natural process?

If you are feeling sick because of low blood sugar levels and dehydration, it might be a good idea to try to keep something in your stomach

Sometimes you might want to delay the natural process for a few seconds/minutes until you get to a more appropriate place to throw up.

They will increase the rates shown on the website the longer you search so you get scared into buying a ticket quickly without searching

8 years ago | Likes 79 Dislikes 2

This is not true though. The price rules and allocations are posted in global systems that travel agencies use.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

The same process applies for travel apps as most people don't clear the cache/data thus it's easier for the site to raise your rates
