    The administrators of the mutual fund still make a bet that their income (mainly the money they charge members/customers) will meet or exceed the claims they pay out, no? They might not have a profit motive, but that doesn’t change the basic economics of needing income to be >= expenses.







  • People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

    That said, this is obviously satire/bait.




  • If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.

    And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they’d do is file a report. There wouldn’t be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.






  • Not to defend US power plugs (the UK plug is clearly superior) but this sounds like a problem with your adapter. US plugs rely on the socket having enough friction to hold the plug. It’s obviously not the best design decision, but I’ve only had issues with cheap adapters and >50 year old sockets (which are hard to find because they tend to get replaced during remodeling).

    The sparks are also less of an issue with 110v.
