I'll try to keep things concise (TL:DR below), but to get an honest answer I have to give an honest background. I graduated from high school back in 2011, and within a month of graduation I was starting school at BYU. It didn't go well; I limped home 18 months later with no prospects, $2000 in debt, and a GPA you needed a shovel to find. I "committed" to go on my long-anticipated mission as all good Mormon sons are supposed to do. That didn't go well either; after a week at the Training Center I had a nervous breakdown and went back home (again).

But since then I've slowly put my life back together: slogging through crummy jobs, baring my soul in counseling, working my way piecemeal through

I'm tired of putting up with another mass shooting every few months. I don't know why no one else seems to talk about this (hard to believe I'm the only one who's thought of it), so I'll say it:

If we already have a system for regulating ownership and handling for cars, there's no reason we can't apply the same accountability and responsibility to guns and gun owners.

Cars are every bit as dangerous as guns - arguably more so , considering how many more people die to car accidents than gun violence per year. So naturally, we (society) take steps to mitigate the danger. Cars are regulated with safety standards; drivers are tested before they can be licensed; owners have to register their ca

Still have another final tomorrow, but this was the big one. For various nonsensical reasons, I needed this, and only this, particular class to fill out my math credits for my major. It was all online, especially problematic since I have a bad history with online courses. Then again, I have (some) bad history with all kinds of classes, so it was a challenge no matter how I went about it. Point is, it's been a hard road just getting here, never mind this final hurdle.

Given the online format, it was actually surprisingly simple to keep up on homework. I just had to focus on my computer for hours on end and double check my work - as close to child's play as I've ever got since high school. Bu

Or maybe a big discount off one random game on your wishlist, but hey, this isn't r/feasibleideas.

I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't fall back asleep. I flopped around for four hours trying to get some rest, and all I got out of it was a sore back and a headache. In one hour I have a final exam for a class I never wanted to take, and a class I am doomed to fail because I never took the damn thing seriously - even now, I'm worried more about my dismal GPA than the actual class. I took this course because it was supposed to be easy; I've been taking care of animals for years, how hard can it be to keep up with an Animal Sciences class? and a 101 class at that? I should be crushing this thing with my eyes closed.

Instead I've been run ragged by crappy jobs and doctor's appointmen

My mom found an old hardcover copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover, printed back in the days before copyright could tell you anything you want to know about publishing. The only information in the cover is that it was privately printed in 1928. According to the Wikipedia page, Lady Chatterley's Lover was only being printed in Florence, Italy at the time.

So there's a good chance that we have a first edition Lady Chatterly's Lover. So my question is: what now? Is there any way to confirm what edition this book is? Who's qualified to appraise this sort of thing? How do I get in touch with them?

For those of you wondering, a cursory internet search values first edition LCL anywhere from a few hund

I'm actually moving (and forward, I hope), so I'm doing better than before. Even so, I'm up a creek without a paddle.

The full background isn't important; suffice it to say that I've had a rough year, and I'm trying to back to school. Recently, my parents talked me into a Machinist Program at a community college close to home, and the more I looked into it, the more I liked the idea. A two-year certificate could get me a solid job with good pay, and shortly thereafter I could go back to university for whatever degree I want. By the time I got there, I might even know what I would want to do.

Unfortunately, the class is already full, and even if there was an open spot, there's a mandatory

It's no secret that many of us here in the United States love shows like Doctor Who and Sherlock with a raging passion, and with Top Gear, Merlin, and Monty Python (even after all this time...) are just a few to the endless list of shows that have thrived here in America. But I was wondering if, or rather how much, this goes both ways. What American shows have made it across the pond?

Like the title says, I have a job interview at a nearby MickeyDs. This isn't my first job or my first interview, but I'm still pretty green, so I'm coming to reddit for advice (judge that how you will). I've heard and practiced that the best approach is to arrive well dressed, confident, and informed about the business at which you're applying. But there's a million and one things about McDonalds, from conspiracies about their ice creams to labor concerns with overbearing management. I know a lot of this has to do with local stuff, but what should I know about the job (Crew Member), and what else can I do to prepare for the actual interview?
