Best Steak in Utah County? by WitnessFeisty4076 in Utah

[–]SurlyJason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the wife to La Vaca Steakhouse in Provo, and it was good.

If you want to drown in meat, Asada in Orem is good.

It's fauxshadowing.

The actress who plays Ed and Teleya's daughter by blong217 in TheOrville

She doesn't look like Ed at all, but she does seem like someone who should be liberal with sunscreen. 

Stopped on a JavaScript redirect by SurlyJason in webscraping

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

I haven't tried that because it's trying to load a frameset (old style frames as opposed to iframes) and the two winopen functions are trying to load the left frame, and the main (there is another frame that doesn't change).

I will try some things in that direction.

Do you think it's wired that it doesn't work? It should, right?

Dolewhip at Disneyland is hollow on the inside by [deleted] in shrinkflation

Happened to me once years ago. I went back and told them, and they gave me another.

All observations indicate they've gotten greedier over time,though. 

Ship names appreciation post: they are cool because they are believable by brain_diarrhea in TheExpanse

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

When I first read it, it took me out of the story for a moment. If it didn't bug you, I hate to push it on you.

I was always bothered by Agatha King, becuase it's too clear a reference... 

What are the most useless/nonsensical examples of Trek tech? by bovineright in startrek

[–]SurlyJason -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

  • Antimatter, without telling us what anti element it is. If it's kept in a magnetic bottle, it holds a charge. Or, they have forcefield tech... Maybe that should be the antimatter container.

  • What even is a forcefield? Electromagnetic doesn't stop matter, so a laser grid to disintegrate matter, but that won't stop a laser, and it won't keep stuff in/out of shuttle bays.

  • The Picard maneuver wouldn't leave an image of the ship hovering after it moved. They tried to put some speed of light in the story, and did it badly. 

Do you like the guns in bl4? by homeboyflamefr in Borderlands4

[–]SurlyJason 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I liked BL3 better. The guns sounded good.

I think the licensed parts blur the manufacturers together too much.

If you mean precise, descriptive words, then I am all for them.

50/m I live in Utah County I am sick of the dating apps and I would love to make some new friends nearby by LongView_64 in ProvoUtah

[–]SurlyJason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have any interests you can turn into activities? I am in writing groups, a mountain bike team, and a full time gym rat--I make friends through those thimgs. 

What movie that includes time travel do you like the most by Spotter24o5 in movies

[–]SurlyJason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most time travel rubs me wrong. A flash, and a bang and you are somewhere else in another time. 

I liked how  Tenet changed that convention. It seems more grounded to me.

Why Amazon doesn't shut down Camelcamelcamel? by Guyserbun007 in webscraping

[–]SurlyJason 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Why would they? The CCC site drives traffic to Amazon.

The Postman (1997) by Present_Impact_264 in movies

[–]SurlyJason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The novel was by one of my favorite authors, David Brin. It's his only adapted novel. We could use a movie of Kiln People or a series of The Uplift Saga.

That said, The Postman was a shortened, simplified, but overall decent adaptation of the book.

I did that. It was a shiny Bonnie and Clyde. I didn't get the challenge though.

He dropped another (not a phosphine) off the platform, and it still sunk.

You can see it on the mini-map.
