When they take away the points you can grant a fellow ABer, how long is it before they reinstate them? You can give 25 ratings to one person over seven consecutive days.

Would you recommend the use of eye protection and lose fitting rubber gloves when using muriatic acid to clean bathroom tiles at home? Wow. Why are you using muriatic acid, aka hydrochloric acid, on bathroom tiles? Won't it ruin whatever finish is on the tiles? That stuff eats asphalt. I've used it to clean heavy soap scum off glass though, so yeah, it's definitely an effective cleaner. Make sure you run a fan in the bathroom so the fumes won't burn your lungs. Eye protection and gloves - YES. Good luck.

They're probably both right, to some degree. Personally, I don't like her politics. She's way, way, too conservative for me.

Sometimes crazy people are drawn to strong, stable personalities, too, because strength means security and safety. But yeah, I know what you mean about the whole freak magnet thing, LOL.

If you see " 0% + ratings given" in a user's profile, that means he/she has never rated anything, period, OR has ONLY downrated. I just confirmed this, using a new account called "Jodie44 Experiment". http://www.answerbag.com/profile/?id=531385 ...

Does anyone else out there think that Religion is a tough catagory to ask and answer in? People are quick to give negative feedback when they disagree! "Nodding" I agree with you. Religion and politics are probably the two most controversial categories on Answerbag. It's always been that way, just like in the real world. Still, some ABers manage pretty civil discussions on both, even when they disagree.

How do you find out what percentage one number is of another? i.e. i need to know what percentage is 1440 of 1920 in other words 1440 is X% of 1920 The way to figure stuff like this out is to construct an identical formula, but using numbers you already know. For example, I know that 5 is 20% of 25. Now I rearrange those numbers into a formula that gives the end result as 20%. Take 5, and divide by 25. The answer is 20%. In other words, 5 is 0.20, or 20%, of 25. Using your numbers: 1440 is ____ of 1920. Divide 1440 by 1920...

Answer to:
Why do people have to ask questions on here that are just plain mean or rude? Some reasons: They think the question is fine, or cute, or funny. They're deliberately trying to upset someone they know is on AB when they ask. They know the question's offensive, but they're going for general shock value. They don't care how others see their questions - mean and rude is fine with them.

How do you spend your lunch hour? Running errands, Answerbagging, or more healthily, walking almost a mile to the corner and back. The temp here is in the mid-70's, with low humidity, so it's ideal weather for a walk.

Answer to:
If an employer who was a hard worker who had never been reprimanded on the job made an error with a wire transfer & the recipient did not receive funds from transfer till next day, would you fire them or force them to resign? You mean, if an employee made that mistake? I wouldn't do either. After all, the intended recipient got the money, didn't he? Everyone makes mistakes. He's probably aware he made one. Good employees are hard to find. Let it go.

If you were to make a guess, how many points would you say you give out each time you visit AB on average? In 2007, I averaged 144 ratings per day, so I'm guessing I handed out around 775 points per day. I'm not on as much this year, but I still rate a lot. Probably closer to 600 points a day.
