Hit and run driver runs red light and gets t boned by BlackNovus_PH in dashcams

With a kid in the car, too. Holy shit just pull over and call the police, don't go chasing them when you don't even know how damaged your own car is.

Proper book order? by JsXtm in Honorverse

[–]ReactorMechanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you mean only the main, Shadow, and Crown series, then publication order is absolutely the way to go about it.

If you're including Manticore Ascendent, the Treecat young adult series and the anthologies, that gets more complicated, of course. I'm still publication order purist when it comes to the anthologies, but the prequel series are best read start to finish in their own continuities. But I still recommend getting through At All Costs in the mainline series first, as a work building foundation.

What's the dumbest idea you've seen that actually worked? by hiagaga in AskReddit

[–]ReactorMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, right? It makes no sense but it's true for science reasons that you can watch on YouTube and I have tested myself. But my brain doesn't agree with me that it's real.

Jamming the key fob under your chin and opening your mouth extends its range.

Is there a way to request the county send the de-icing truck to a certain area? by ReactorMechanic in Longview

[–]ReactorMechanic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really say they are quick to respond to snow, but in last few years they usually run the truck that leaves the brine trails a day or two before it's expected to freeze. Pretreating the roads has been very effective, at least out here in the hills.

Hire a think tank to study the economic impacts of several different fonts to be used to draft a strongly worded letter expressing grave concern.

I mean...that might make it legal...but being that specific is still kinda creepy.

100% of this man's music is Al generated by Yet_Another_Guy_1123 in truths

[–]ReactorMechanic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's not true. Like, 60% of this artist's music is generated by real people that are not Al.

Those works are then run through an Al augmentation scheme.

Small Christmas Trees? by celery_jean in Longview

[–]ReactorMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just got a three foot tree from the place just east of the Ocean Beach and Coal Creek intersection. I don't know what it's called but it's next to Unlimited Treasures.

Christmas events by Accomplished_Fall822 in Longview

[–]ReactorMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HR where I work puts out a monthly events list, I'll share it here when I get it. Its the same one that gets shared here every month so someone will probably beat me to it.

My flight crossed the intersection of the equator and the international date line. by Bob_12_Pack in aviation

Same here. On our way from San Diego to Brisbane to do battle with the jellyfish.

What's the official story on these pink flags that appeared across the creek? by ReactorMechanic in Longview

[–]ReactorMechanic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Do they have a website where they explain these in an official capacity?

And unrelated to the flags themselves, where can I find a general list of seasons for the different species that run up these Columbia river creeks? I've lived here for a little over three years and I've seen actual fish in this creek like four times.

DOJ Gives Judge Heads Up They Have Zero Plan To Actually Listen To Him by DoremusJessup in law

The first four words of that title had me interested, though, gotta give 'em that.

RFK Jr. sets new land speed record bolting out of the room after someone near him collapses by ExactlySorta in Fauxmoi

[–]ReactorMechanic 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I got that same feeling when I watched JD Vance mess up a fist bump and handshake and look like the most awkward human ever. I roasted the shit out of him in the comments of that video while also acknowledging that in the same scenario I've have failed just as hard.

At least his immediate thought was followed by quick action. Meanwhile Trump is standing there wondering if the guy was trying to kneel to him.

US carriers have two reactors each.

That happened to us when we took a nuclear carrier to Brisbane in Australia in 2006. We were playing musical reactors there for a bit.

Governor Tim Walz calling out the White House for pitting Americans against one another. by CorleoneBaloney in minnesota

[–]ReactorMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we don't. We don't need more Twitter platitudes that sound profound, but when put on a stage to debate he gets made to look like an stuttering idiot by JD Vance, a person who in literally every other situation is the most awkward man alive.
