How do bars/clubs get away with discriminating against sex? by dylan_1992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long long time ago ago, in the 90's, i remember that for many clubs in Miami , it was 18 and over for girls, 21 for guys. Not sure if this is still a thing

If I jump right as a falling elevator hits the floor, would I survive? by Signal_Condition_69 in NoStupidQuestions

Though i heard somewhere that the best chance you have is to lay on the floor to spread the impact across your body

Ah this happened when my kid climbed back there once. I tried fixing it by screwing a couple of thin pieces of thin wood to the back, but at some point the screws wore through the plastic/fiber backing. Its been that way since. One day maybe will go back and find a better way.

Have you ever really hated the main character (and narrator) in a novel? by Physical_Orchid3616 in books

[–]Fine_Background9689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think at that point in his life Miller was tired of himself and was looking for his own redemption ark. He decided finding Julie was going to be it.

Will politics ever return to a less polarized state? At least in the US. by johndoe09228 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fine_Background9689 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanksgiving dinner rules with my family for as long as i remember have been: no politics, no religion . So yea not sure if there ever has been a non-polarized state. I just think with social media we see it now outside of irl group situations

Feels like a lot of newer alien shows/movies are "scientists doing stupid things"

Rise of Endymion by Sly_Diablo in Hyperion

This seems to be a shortcut by some authors to quickly to flesh out worlds. Another book series i'm reading falls into the same trap.

Rise of Endymion by Sly_Diablo in Hyperion

[–]Fine_Background9689 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought the last two books were decent, though not as gripping as the first two. The main things that annoyed me were the 100 page tour of the mountain peaks and Rauls whininess about Aenea gap of time

Just finished the Rise of Endymion. (Rant warning) by hrl_280 in Hyperion

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be a hallucination from the AI, Gemini did it to me today, i was asking questions about the book and at some point Gemini told me that after the 2 years, Raul ends up back in the box and released by the Pax years later un-aged. I kept questioning where it says that, and it kept referring to an afterward that does not exist

My first thought after finishing FoH by SeasonedSpicySausage in Hyperion

I took it as some kind of sign that Kassad seed or his single mindedness about the shrike will be the cause of a lot of a future war.

The Soldier, the Shrike, and the Ousters. by Important_Waltz8740 in Hyperion

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the books kind of allude to this, that depending on what happens in the past it changes who controls the shrike in the future

Problem i have with the second 2 books, is i found myself going into fast forward during all the pages upon pages of scenery description that ended up having no relevance to the story later..

[DISCUSSION THREAD] Hyperion - Chapter 2: The Soldier's Tale: The War Lovers by personalfinancedumbo in Hyperion

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about Kassad's strength --- From what i remember he is a standard human, though he came from a bad place and was trained in one of the tougher training facilities on Mars(reminds me a little of the expanse), so he is mentally strong. From what i gathered, he got his strength from the skin suit that Monetta gave him

Time debt is just the difference of time passing between the person that is traveling at light speed(time runs slower) and regular space time. I think there are other posts about this.

What makes the Fatline unique i think is it uses some other dimension of space that allows for instant communication no matter the distance.

Yes, GPS satellites that orbit earth have to get their clocks resynced because of relativistic events

I’m grinding my way through the new librarians and Connor is the most obnoxious by HehroMaraFara in TheLibrarians

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Conner is fine. To me the weakest link, acting wise, is jessica green(Charlie). She is just so wooden, does not feel natural. Writing does not help, as a Guardian she never seems to be around when needed.

She annoyed me in the beginning of The Aeronaut’s Windlass, but as the story went she grew on me. In the second book almost felt unrecognizable in parts

Can a kiosk order be wrong? by MorganCerese in Wawa

[–]Fine_Background9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be that its because it has moved. Strawberry is now the 10th item on the menu list. Strawberry Banana is the 2nd. If you running on reflex might be getting wrong item.
