I might have been incorrect in my measurements. I could have been 20-30 ft away from the car driving 25mph. Since this incident is more than 10 years ago, I don’t remember the details. However - at that time it seemed like plenty of room to react.

Tailgaiting...Ahhhh!

I absolutly second that. 15 min per block if it’s bad. Now I live in AK and people go “Wow!!!” when I tell them that I drive 120 miles to get to the next grocery store. That’s roughly the same time I wasted driving from West Seattle to Downtown. 1.5 hours. (Sorry Officer...I said “roughly”)

Excellent question! The only paragraph containing more information states:

Thanks everyone for sharing all those funny stories!

“I’m a Goverment official from Nigeria and have 5,000,000$ for you ...”

Absolutley agree. And on top of that - a good dozen of fancy kitchen gadgets can be thrown out, because you can do almost everything with the right knife. (Yes, I’m looking at you, QVC!)

The red part of the roads are bicycle lanes, often made from a different surface material for smoother and safer rides on a bike.

775$ for housing and 250$ for food in Anchorage, AK? Per month?

Just wondering how you get your whip through the TSA line.

Always check the additional costs and time you will spend to get to and from the airport. The reason they can offer flights that cheap is that they avoid the big airports. The train ticket from Stansted (Ryan Air) to London can easily be more expensive than the flight itself.

Oh, so very true. While my “Business Casual” attire works just fine in Seattle, Alaskans think I’m a snob and in the New York Office they try to order pizza from me.

Yes, yes, and yes.

“(...) and your only chance of getting your refund is to give them your bank account number and routing number, right then.(...)“

I feel your “pain”. Been there and went through the same adjustment process. At that time I was playing piano for 8-10 hours a day professionally and my neck and shoulders were killing me. My Physio Therapist urged me to sleep on my back with a light scarf (silk), but I could not do it.

Even if the job is ok and they offer tuition reimbursement, it won’t come for free. First you loose 12,000$/year. Second you very likely find a paragraph in your agreement that binds you to the company for a certain amount of time. If you’d quit before they would ask the tuition fee back.

Thanks for clarifying that the UK is not part of Europe.
