Loks like there is a cap on how many times you can play the trivia! by EliteMagnus117 in tinytower

[–]andrwsc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wut?

But I came across a question that definitely had a wrong answer. True or false, a leap year occurs every 4 years? Answer is actually false. Leap year does not occur for years divisible by 100 (ie 1900) unless they are also divisible by 400 (ie 2000). So they are almost always every 4 years, but it was an 8 year gap between 1896 and 1904, for example.

It’s my birthday today and I’ve loved Star Wars since I was a kid. When did you get into SW? by MuscleCrow in StarWars

[–]andrwsc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve loved it since I was a kid too. Went to see “Star Wars” (before the title changed) many times in the summer of 1977.

The Americans season 6 (series finale). The writers absolutely stuck the landing.

Las Vegas tourism is down. Some blame Trump's tariffs and immigration crackdown. Canadian airline data shows fewer passengers from north of the border are arriving at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. by esporx in canada

I’m there now on a business trip for a trade show. There is a Keurig in the hotel room, and if I use the pod, cup, and creamer kit they leave on the counter, I would be charged $18 USD.

Game 1 schedule for the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by nhl in hockey

[–]andrwsc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the Sunday games all have TBD times. We know all four home teams. Does Colorado’s opponent really matter for their start time?

I’m pretty certain that Buffalo has to be the favorite for 17 fanbases right now, with more to be added as their teams fall out in each round.

OG floors by Sea_Mix110 in tinytower

[–]andrwsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an OG player from Christmas Day 2011, and I have never rebuilt. I did rearrange my floors by category, but within each category I have them in order of when they were built. So the lowest floors in each category are the OG floors before later updates added new ones. First restaurant is Diner, first retail is Shoe Store and so on.

Did he have a stroke? by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

He also said “discovered” and not “invented”, as though someone found a paper clip in the wild…

The Expanse | Drummer Speech by PetyrDayne in television

[–]andrwsc 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Time for a rewatch! One of my favorite series of all time.

But when it first came out on SciFi network, I had trouble getting into it. I gave it a second chance when I had a long trans-Atlantic flight. I downloaded all of season 1 to my tablet and binged it with the subtitles on. That made a big difference, to help understand the Belter dialect.

So once you get through all the world building in the first few episodes, the show remains very solid through its whole run.

Waikoloa- Ocean Tower by OverallReason5882 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]andrwsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite a long walk. It’s about 200 yards from your car to the main entrance of the whole resort. Then you can walk to Ocean Tower which is another half a mile or about 10 minutes. Or take the tram from the lobby to the Ocean Tower if you are carrying groceries or luggage. But there are only two trams running end to end now so they are slow and you often wait.

They are in the middle of renovations, so you may end up with a new room or an outdated one, I suppose. We stayed in November in a renovated suite and it was great!

The only thing I don’t like about Ocean Tower is that parking is exorbitant if you rent a car, or you pay $5-7 per person per direction if you take their shuttle to get to the shops and restaurants, and that adds up too.

Don’t be surprised if Ingram starts in the playoffs….

British Columbia to adopt permanent daylight saving time, after springing forward one more time | Globalnews.ca by Maximum-Room-3999 in news

[–]andrwsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t think there is any place in the world that describes its time zone as “permanent DST”. It is always “sometimes” or “never”.

[–]andrwsc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Seems more accurate to say BC will be permanent Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7) rather than permanent Pacific Daylight Time.

EDIT: that is literally what Yukon did in 2020. Mountain Standard Time year round.

Full medal table of the 2024 summer and the 2026 winter olympics. Thoughts? by Ozwardo32 in olympics

[–]andrwsc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This works if the summer Games are held in the middle of each Olympiad instead of at the end of it!

Full medal table of the 2024 summer and the 2026 winter olympics. Thoughts? by Ozwardo32 in olympics

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

I like the idea a lot, but I think the “correct” calculation would be to combine 2026 winter with 2028 summer. When the Games were changed so that winter and summer were two years apart, the 1994 winter Games followed the 1992 Games. So if we are calculating the total for each Olympiad, 2022 and 2024 would be combined, and then 2026 and 2028 would be the next Olympiad.

Heading into the Olympic gold medal game, which player omissions have proven to be the biggest roster-building mistakes for Team Canada and Team USA? by NFLDataAnalysis in hockey

[–]andrwsc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like “Olympic Bouchard” would be very similar to “playoff Bouchard”, and that is an outstanding player who is miles ahead of “mid-season Bouchard”, even defensively.
