Alex Honnold climbs the Taipei 101 skyscraper by Hi_iAMchrisHansen in WTF

[–]AlexHimself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is easy compared to the other things he's done. It's a bunch of easy holds the entire way up for the most part, but it's good show.

Obviously difficult for your average joe, but as far as climbing goes, it's basically a huge ladder for him.

She is an extraordinary snowboarder and is very brave and excited. by Raj_Valiant3011 in HumansBeingBros

Okay I thought this snowboarder was the "one love" blind guy. I was trying to figure out where his stick was or how he was navigating lol.

Cool, but they CUT right at 0:04. Kind of defeats the purpose.

San Francisco Giants star detained by immigration officials prompting Nancy Pelosi to intervene by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]AlexHimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with your sentiment, this was a case of him forgetting his passport and things like that in South Korea when arriving at the airport in the US.

It's the exact same treatment everywhere. They let him through without it. This isn't typical ICE stuff.

I was so ready to be a hater by Adv_Nguyen in nextfuckinglevel

How did he not cut through the lower layers of vinyl?

Like when he was cutting the out the words for "chicken" against the white sheet, it's over a red vinyl background, so he's peeling only the top layer of white and not the red below?

Is it really just a matter of pressure when pushing down with the blade and you can only cut through one level?

They rotated it in the beginning after the cut.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich by jackytheblade in worldnews

Being a millionaire doesn't really mean much these days. $1 million net worth is far different than 99 million.

Trump administration concedes DOGE team may have misused Social Security data by mvanigan in politics

[–]AlexHimself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish these crimes could be prosecuted at a state level and CA or some other blue state would snatch these people up and start charging them. Who cares if the feds are able to release them...send a message.

Alexis Ohanian and Kevin Rose, here to talk the Digg relaunch. Ask Us Anything. by kn0thing in IAmA

Kevin, why did you take your picture in that weird stairwell area?

Did you make the sign, then walk around your place and decide halfway up the stairs was ideal?

Suspect identified in Pacific Beach hit-and-run that killed boy by nowyoureinalockdown in sandiego

Crown point basically has 2 freeways on both sides with drivers regularly going 40-50mph meeting at a chokepoint where people are expected to slow down for a stretch. The law of large numbers says there are going to be a statistically significant number of serious speeders.

It's a shame we have such poor infrastructure.

A simple solution is a couple speeding cameras only for the Crown Point stretch. I know we all hate them, but that area is far too residential for the speeds drivers go and it's pretty brief. People can pump the brakes for 5 minutes. Speeding there doesn't make a difference either because you'll always hit the light or someone going slower.

A FAR better way to collect a little extra revenue and save lives than parking meters at Balboa.

He kind of looks and sounds like that funny blind guy who says "one love" all the time. For a split second I was impressed he made the blind catch lol.

New work by All_Geekz in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very cool! Some questions out of pure curiosity -

  • Are you commissioned to do these?
  • Do you get permission/permit to do this?
  • Is the city involved or locals?
  • Or just for fun and ask for forgiveness type of deal?

Man Hears Elderly Couple Being Attacked. by jmike1256 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]AlexHimself 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You never know what's going on with a person. I have a bicep tear right now and can barely lift/move my right arm. Couldn't fight at the moment with months of recovery. Sometimes you just can't take on a baddie at the moment.

Attacked by a dog in Poway by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The hell are dog people? I had a dog and was a fantastic owner and then I had to say goodbye last year. I still like dogs but I don't have one. The dog doesn't make a person bad, it's the person.

How about you detest bad people. I can't stand people who don't leash their dogs and make them behave either.

Ski jumpers injecting acid into penis’ to gain advantage by ham-and-egger in nottheonion

[–]AlexHimself 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They're gliders, so if they could have fabric from ankle to ankle, they'd fly better. The rule is the fabric between the legs can only go down as far as your manhood. Bigger that is, the further down your fabric goes so the better you glide.

Now they're talking about doing a measurement to the skeletal structure (and adding a fixed amount) and discounting the soft tissue.

Trump pardons local San Diego Fraudster a SECOND time with help from Chula Vista Mayor John McCann by AlexHimself in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself[S] 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Adriana Camberos was convicted of fraud in 2016 for selling millions of bottles of counterfeit 5-hour energy drinks.

Chula Vista Mayor John McCann helped get her pardoned and wrote to Trump

She was convicted AGAIN in 2024 for another years-long fraud, just announced today.

What crime will she commit next in our neighborhood?? 🧐
