  • It depends on the distance, or how it was expressed. Less than 12 hours, or exact times, probably means just the actual driving time before any stops. Really long spans of time, or when someone says something fuzzy like “a half-day drive,” you can probably assume are accounting for a break or two.

    To answer your specific question, if someone said “a 10 hour drive” to me, I would assume they meant 10 actual road hours, before breaks. I would anticipate their actual arrival in an 11 to 12 hour time frame.


  • I’m calling people out on their bullshit votes.

    Okay, I’ve been staying out of this but now I just have to: what kind of extraordinary qualifications do you have to unilaterally decide which votes are valid and which are not? Is it as simple as any vote that disagrees with you is automatically “bullshit”?

    Have you considered that people are just downvoting you and moving on because they feel that the flaws in your arguments are apparent enough that they can just click the down arrow without having to type a whole essay about it?

    And really, why should anyone have to type out a whole response to justify clicking downvote? What makes your opinions so astronomically important that they deserve everyone’s full intellectual energy or none at all?
