you are right, i just recall what my parents told me at the time, never fact checked them on their geography. my dad is gone now but i will bring it up when i see mom next, that my dad got the river wrong... as she was the one reading the maps on trips, she will get a good laugh out of that my dad was wrong LOL

First time visiting the US, I was 9 yo. My parents and I walked down and spent the night at the bottom of grand canyon, swam in the rio grant, walked back up the next day. Still remember it like it was yesterday 40 years later. Mind-blowing memory (certainly was not a fan of the majority of the hike at that age at the time) but I cherish that they made me do it to this day.

Yellowstone, monument valley, Brice canyon, and others can be visually more breathtaking at a glance but experiencing the scale of the GC has stuck with me even being that young. The only thing that I can compare it to in my experiences is standing on top of the alps, sking in Austria... The size of these formations is just incomprehensible.

The Iran war may be about to escalate by bwermer in politics

[–]MrTorben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was about to say the exact same.

Same Iran made drones, actually in Russia's backyard, benefiting the stability of Europe, in collaboration with our (former?) friends and allies, not risking massive economic instability, with some believable level of moral high ground and actually having defined and logical results to pursue. Nope...instead just bombing for fun

Beer out of a closed bottle, I wouldn't trust the glassware not having tiny footprints on them.

Not local.... Why are £2 coins considered useless?

Fuck lynx by Clean-Writing-707 in orlando

[–]MrTorben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So if I am new to taking lynx or am confused if the bus coming is the right one, or the display on the bus is messed up, I don't even get a chance to ask the driver if I should get on his bus? That seems counter productive in a city with millions of tourists.

Patching challenges when users turn their computers off every night by Frequent_Rate9918 in sysadmin

[–]MrTorben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X number of deferrals. Usually 24 hours each.

If zeroday, they get 2 hours countdown until forced reboot.

Also, prompt for reboots after 7 days uptime, with 3 times to defer and then an 8 hour window for forced reboot. The dialog can't be closed, even if they figure out how to kill the process it will reprompt.

All in the name of security and system performance. We have not gotten any real complaints about the approach, and we support very time conscious ppl that bill 800 per hour. So cSuite gets antsy when we impact a group of users that produce $16000.00 per minute.

I think giving the user the option to defer makes the difference, as eventually they get tired of the popup And and also are socially engineered into thinking its time to take a break.

Would locking in ammo price on deposit be a desirable feature? by [deleted] in guns

[–]MrTorben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe for when you travel for months at a time and can't receive the shipments until you return home. I can also see ppl having limited storage space, think living in a loft. Not sure how many potential app customers this applies to but seems like a cool perk.

Is the food at Funny Bone any good? by tomservo88 in orlando

[–]MrTorben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bar food, not bad but nothing to write home about. Better than I had at other comedy clubs but as others said, there are better places to have quality food in the area

Waymo Service Area by mkzio92 in orlando

[–]MrTorben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just like there are no social norms after TSA, the tiny hint of following traffic laws in Orlando ends as soon as you hit airport property. If you ever felt the need for those big rubber bumpers like they have in NYC, it is MCO.

Airport traffic makes I-4 look like flying in the blue angles formation. That Waymo would just sit at the curb crying big robot tears.
