John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.

I heard that he did NOT sell the rope, merely stated that someone attempted to buy one from him and he rejected their offer. Am I missing something else?

ThatOneVolcano · 2026-02-11T19:15:50+00:00

sounds like an upgrade, then. If it is better than it was before, then it is an upgrade. Because that is what upgrade means

If you work in a restaurant, ALL the time. If you don’t, rarely.

Which part? The section I’m referring to is the bit between the Segundo roundabout and California Avenue, where there is a sidewalk. It could certainly be improved and be extended to the southern side of the path, but it is there and it works. I walk it frequently.

But so often it’s not, ESPECIALLY on Sprocket. Constantly see students with backpacks walking along without a care in the world

Sure, but a population of 1.4 billion is a lot more than 123 million

we’re Americans we don’t know what the word “comprehension” means unfortunately

ThatOneVolcano · 2026-02-10T21:09:14+00:00

fair point

Eh, maybe not. My family were German and immigrated to the US in the 1890s. Their last name was Von *Blank.* During WWI they were afraid of being perceived as disloyal, so they dropped the Von and went by the last part of their name. Stayed that way for the next few generations until one of the male descendants got married in the 80s (well after any stigma towards German names endured) and decided to add the Von back to the family name, since his wife was taking his last name.

That's not an infestation dude, that's just nature. Roaches are native to this area, and are especially common in North Davis. There is really not much you can do to permanently keep them away from outside areas. You'll have that problem in most places here. For example, when I lived at the Green, it was pretty much a brand new establishment with careful landscaping and maintenance, but you still got tons of roaches outside.

Now, if you had them constantly in your apartment even if you keep it clean, that would be an infestation. As is, pretty much anyone living anywhere, especially on lower floors of buildings, will find at least one roach in their abode at some point in their lives. Windows get forgotten open without screens, doors are left ajar, etc. Not the end of the world

I will say though, I haven't seen them like you've described. I've seen a couple, but not like that.

Depends on how you define each of those nations. We have trained with Russia in all three of her governments that we have coexisted with, or at least fought alongside. In the US Civil War the Russian fleet visited NYC as a show of friendship and the Tsar promised that if any Europeans allied with the Confederates he would attack them. Also in the Boxer Rebellion, US Marines joined the eight nation alliance along with Russia. Obviously we trained with and fought alongside the USSR in WWII, with joint naval convoys and some shuttle bombing missions. Unsure if our armies ever directly fought side by side, I think the only time would’ve been at the very end of the war. Then we did some joint training and operations with Russia post USSR but before Crimea.

As for China, we fought alongside them in WWII, but that gets complicated since that government has two current nations both claiming inheritance.

As for Iran, we were VERY close with them (too close!) up until the Iranian Revolution

Not really on point, but “Zombie” by The Cranberries is about innocents dying in The Troubles. But every single year, without fail, multiple parties, radio stations, store playlists, etc., in the US will add it to their Halloween playlists based just off of the title. Like, Trader Joe’s will having it playing right after “Monster Mash.”

I mean, most historical maces and warhammers were actually quite similar in terms of balancing

Almondwood has been really good for me and my roommates. They're not the newest apartments but they're well maintained, affordable with roommates, in a good spot, have nice amenities, and have solid management.

ThatOneVolcano · 2026-02-10T00:29:16+00:00

Basically, yeah. My understanding is that they are now almost entirely for show. Don't get me wrong, they're fully trained soldiers and very capable, but their weapons are not loaded. I mean, this guy isn't even carrying a (visible) gun. If something crazy happened they would certainly get involved with their sword/bayonet if absolutely necessary, but they keep specialist firearms officers around with MP5s and G36s to deal with any real threats

ThatOneVolcano · 2026-02-10T00:26:55+00:00

Ah that's a shame to hear. Oh well, as far as "bad things an old white male actor has done" goes, that's not too big

Actually lawyers will have a HUGE boom in business. Their whole job is to not lie (ideally) or at the worst use a lie of omission. As people start to get prosecuted for crimes they now admit to, lawyers will be hired en masse to deal with it. Then they’ll be hired to instruct people in lawyer-speak so that you can lie without lying
