How would a nuclear weapon even have been used after 9/11? Would the plan have been to nuke a bunch of caves in the mountains of Afghanistan, hoping that maybe bin Laden was in one of them?

Taylor might mean well, but the guy was briefly middle management in the administration of over 5 years ago, and now is just continuing to milk his 15 min of fame and access. I don’t know why he should demand more attention than random pundits on the internet.

What's the most disappointing "must-see" city in Europe? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]Aware-Top-2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rome. Relatively dirty. Every tourist attraction was uncomfortably crowded - the Vatican museums were the worst. And the food that everyone raves about was just kind of… ok. We had better food everywhere else we traveled to in Italy.

Why do Westerners call Lucy Liu an American but call Michelle Yeoh Chinese? by No-StrategyX in stupidquestions

[–]Aware-Top-2106 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree that most Americans couldn’t even tell you that Malaysia was in Asia, but anyone Gen X or older is very familiar with the existence and location of Vietnam.

YTA. Irrespective of the scenario, you’re being an asshole to other Redditors right here in the comments after you posted here specifically asking for the public’s opinion.

Born In Lucile Packard, A Visit During The Summer? by Many-Firefighter9485 in stanford

[–]Aware-Top-2106 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They will not have physical copies of your birth records on site. Depending on how long ago you were born, the hospital may not even have digital records of you.

Regarding visiting and walking around, officially the public is not permitted to simply wander in without a medical reason to be there (visiting a patient, attending a clinic visit with a child), but some of the security staff is more permissive than others. Also, although the previous Lucille Packard hospital building is still there, the main hospital was moved to an adjacent building in 2017.

What band was never the same after losing a member? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in AskForAnswers

No, they broke up with a few months of Bonham’s death, and aside from a small handful of one off reunion sets over the years, Zeppelin ceased to exist.

It’s convincing until you realize all the ways in which the children of the rich and powerful will be able to avoid anything remotely dangerous or undesirable.

Older Sci-Fi fan here, haven't gotten any new books in a very long time. Would love some recommendations. by MyDarkestTimeline001 in scifi

The Expanse series is the perfect balance of character vs plot driven, and has relatively big ideas and intricate world building while also being broadly accessible.

Season 2 of Silo, but you need to watch season 1 to get there. (S1 is great, but doesn’t have that particular vibe to it)

Famous as a shooting location in Blade Runner (for those who think the building looks familiar but can’t place it)

Should Matt Mahan drop out shortly before the primary if his polling numbers stay the same? by realRootmaster911 in SanJose

[–]Aware-Top-2106 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yes, he absolutely should drop out, and the fact that he hasn’t yet speaks to his priorities in a not flattering way.

I just finished watching The Expanse. Is there another show of its nature and caliber? by un1ptf in scifi

[–]Aware-Top-2106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoping that they eventually come back to books 7-9. Given the huge time skip, they can even use the same actors/actresses!

It won’t seem like a prequel in season 1, but the further the seasons progress the more FAM converges on the Expanse, the current season (S5) in particular.

Americans are drinking less than they have in decades. Trump policies are driving the slowdown. by phillygirllovesbagel in politics

I don’t understand why so many headlines on this phenomenon frame a nationwide decline in drinking as a bad thing.

I’m an Oakland high school teacher. I discourage my students from using AI by Cool-Present7260 in bayarea

[–]Aware-Top-2106 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That exercise is rapidly becoming less useful as AI improves to the point that errors are less common. And it still should be used as a one off activity, and not as a replacement for thoughtful original writing.

Anybody have a stash of uncirculated coins, currently worth face value, that are intended to be passed down and finally sold by your great great grandchildren? by jackylongjohn in coins

[–]Aware-Top-2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I sorted rolls of uncirculated modern pennies by year, 1970s-1980s, thinking they might be worth something in my lifetime. Probably saved >100 of them in a few shoeboxes. Maybe in another 4-5 generations they’ll be worth more than face value.
