Reply to ELI5: What’s car alignment? I read that cars should have it done regularly as part of their service. by LittleLostSadDeer
It's making sure all four of your wheels are pointing straight ahead when your steering wheel is centered. If you took your hands off the steering wheel while driving, your car should go straight instead of veering one way or another.
Alignment goes along with tire balancing which makes sure your tires are all straight vertically and the tread lays flat on the road so they don't get worn on one side.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in College is the first and longest all-inclusive resort in existence by [deleted]
Maybe we are from different countries or something. That is not how it works in the US.

I'm not sure you understand what an all-inclusive resort is, because colleges charge you separately for everything. Tuition, room, board, all kinds of different fees, parking, books...

Reply to ELI5: how can they spend our tax dollars but yet refund those tax dollars every year? by hktactical
They refund the part you paid, but didn't actually owe. Fill out your W4 to have less money taken out and keep what's yours throughout the year instead of giving the government an interest free loan every year.

Reply to The higher the resolution of your monitor, the more precisely you can manipulate graphical objects by Elluminated
A pixel is a pixel. Big screen or little screen, high resolution or low resolution, you can zoom in and work at the pixel level. Big, high resolution screens just make it easier because you can see more while zoomed in.

7 is slightly taller than 1 and 4, but shorter than the rest.

You're supposed to all live in the same household to qualify for a family plan.

It's not like somebody's going to come arrest you or anything, but that's not how family plans work.
