Don't post cash, ever.
Money should never leave one hand without a receipt entering the other.

Reply to ELI5 why is 11 x 11 not 11? by [deleted]
One (1) is not the same as Eleven (11). 11 is not 1 and 1, it's Ten more than One.
If you have 11 people, and want to give them each 11 apples, you'll need 121 apples.

You don't need to go up to a camera in order to de-power it. You just find the fuse box (sometimes located on the outside wall of a property) and just flip all the switches off.

Reply to comment by MastrovNL in LPT request: how to get rid of a bad renter? by MastrovNL
>Netherlands
Looks like you might have to get the courts involved. Partial payments can be considered late payments and is grounds for legal eviction.
Looks like the Netherlands is very pro-tenant. I suggest you look for legal advice.

You'll probably need to specify which country/state.
If the renter is only paying partial payments, then eventually they'll get 3 months behind.
If you own the property, you could simply refuse to renew the lease, or if they're a month-to-month tenant, you could simply serve them an eviction notice relevant to your country/state.
For example, in South Australia a fixed-term lease can end by giving the tenant a 28-day notice that the landlord isn't renewing the lease, or a periodic term (month-to-month) can be ended with a 90-day notice.

Reply to LPT Request: understanding pronoun change by emo_rat119
You could think of pronouns like this;
Imagine that you have a friend you've known since you were little. You've always called him "Johnny". You're now both in your 20s, and he's asked you not to call him "Johnny", but to call him "John". You might slip up now and then and accidentally call him "Johnny", but so long as you correct yourself and apologise, you should be fine.
Don't ever be afraid to ask for clarification, this shows that you want to respect the person and call them by what they want to be known as.

Reply to ELI5 Why do men pee in solid streams and women more or less gush out their pee? by Kaz3girl4
A better analogy might be that women pee like a faucet, whereas men pee as if they have a hose and nozzle attached to said faucet.

Reply to ELI5: Why do people say OOP? by code_ninjer
Typically subreddits that repost other posts from other subreddits ( r/BestofRedditorUpdates for example ) refer to the original poster of that post as OOP (original "original poster"), to show people that the person posting this reposted story isn't the original poster.

Reply to Eli5 what’s a implosion by ThatDumbBoi_
Imagine you have a 55 gallon drum that's completely airtight. You connect a hose to it and start pumping in air. Assuming all connections are stronger than the drum, eventually the drum explodes.
Now, instead of pumping air into the drum, what would happen if you started sucking air out of the drum? Eventually the air pressure outside of the drum would be greater than the pressure inside the drum and it would crush, or implode.
You can watch a short video here.

Imagine a completely empty universe, in which you place two stationary objects. Given enough time, these two objects will meet, no matter how far apart they are.

No, not missing the point (screen towards mirror, using reflection to line up image), just suggesting an small alteration to what people already do. Typically for those who like to show off their phones.

Another option is to look at the screen to line up the photo, then look at the lens through the mirror before taking the photo. This way you're looking at your 'audience' rather than your phone's screen.

Reply to Eli5 What does it mean to ‘balance the books’? by QuestionKing123
The "books", in regards to a business is simply a ledger of income and expenses.
Balancing the books simply means to add up all the income and expenses, and to ensure that the income meets or exceeds the expenses.
