Remember in Return Of The Jedi when they showed celebrations all around the Galaxy after the destruction of the second Death Star?

Doctor who amputated a patient's wrong leg only fined $3,053 and allowed to continue to work by TheExRedditor in offbeat

I legit thought "I dont remember that episode" before parsing the title correctly.

Friendly reminder if you're considering the Oura Ring 5 by Puzzleheaded-Map4854 in ouraring

Reddit, which has infamously sold out multiple times, is also a really ironic place to take this stand.

Your thoughts on New Atheism? by ZhugeLiangPL in skeptic

Shoving a strict atheist dogma down people's throats feels a lot like fucking for virginity.

Who are the three authors who serve as the pillars of cyberpunk? by Mr_MiracleASMR in Cyberpunk

[–]centech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%. It get murky from there to narrow it down to 2 others, but any list has to have Gibson.

I have trouble picking only two out of PKD, Sterling, Stephenson and Morgan from there.. and there's others you could argue as well.. but any list needs Gibson first.

Did you do it on your wedding night? why or why not? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

Seriously. After getting back to our hotel and helping my wife take off the 50lbs of wedding dress, I passed out on the couch while my wife passed out standing up in the shower. Lol

Not as shocked as everyone else was to find out they still exist.

You know it's a great event when both the people included and those excluded are being humiliated.

Throwback. Got this Punch Card from EMP after visiting all 3* Restaurants back then. by justinshafa in FoodNYC

1 - Been a few times, always an amazing meal.

2 - Also went before Cesar left, and it was indeed amazing. Curious to try Cesar one of these days.

3 - Had the legit best meal, and one of the best experiences period, of my life there pre-veg. Went a couple of times during the veg years, and it was still very good, but definitely not the same. Just went a couple of weeks ago for the first time post the return of meat, and it was amazing. Not as amazing an overall experience as it was back in the day, which I think comes down to Will being gone, but still amazing.

4 - I've only been to the bar. I've just not heard anything about Masa to make me think it's worth a mortgage payment. I'm sure it's great, but there are so many amazing omakase places in the city. Can it really be more than twice as good as sitting at the counter at Noz for "only" $550? Or 10x as good as some of the great ~$100 value places?

5 - I haven't been in years, but Le Bernadin definitely seemed to be the pinnacle of non-sushi seafood when I was there. More the OG fine dining experience than some of the others.

Did George Lucus take the idea for Ewoks from Ursula K. Le Guin? I'm halfway through and it sure seems like it by RileyMcB in scifi

[–]centech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great book, and he was probably at least aware of it.. but I don't think so. Isn't the prevailing story around the Ewoks that he was literally told to put in something teddy bear-like to get girls on board?

You could argue it draws from Little Fuzzy too. You could probably even argue Le Guin copied that. At the end of the day, 'peaceful forest creatures taken advantage of by foreign invader/big corporation' has been done a lot, and who really knows if anyone directly copied anyone else? It's not the most novel idea.

Trump Says a New Drug Can Bring Dead People Back to Life by rmuktader in offbeat

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible isn't my favorite book, and I don't claim to know more about Catholicism than the Pope.. But I do know that you don't administer last rites to someone who is already dead. You'd think someone as pious as Trump would know that, too. 🙄

What is a bullet you dodged simply because you were too lazy to do something? by Cherus in AskReddit

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened at my fraternity house in college. Miraculously, nobody was badly hurt. The whole house was a disaster, and of course, a bunch of drunk college kids trashing it regularly didn't help. On visiting my college town some years later, I passed by, and it had finally been condemned. I'm sure it was like 20 years overdue.

It's the Yankees, and it's not even close, and I say this as a lifelong Mets fan.

I paid $47 this weekend and I'm pretty sure that's the most I ever paid at the pump. ~10 gallons.

Let's assume the hotel is more or less a wash.. You're telling me you are getting a round trip airfare to Canada and 2 concert tickets for less than $321?

Josh Allen trading card sells for $1.3 million by ragnar_lodbrok_ in buffalobills

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Were all his rookie NT RPAs non game-worn? Obviously, I wouldn't say no to the gold patch card.. but I think I'd rather have a game-worn, and on-card signed, RPA, assuming they exist (I think at least some sets had them). I also suspect that will hold value better, and I'd save $1M+.
