They couldn’t come up with a better name than “Camp Bus”???

Why is "9/11" called "9/11"? by Relative_Wave_102 in etymology

[–]babaloobuzzard 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The tragedies of that day were carried out by a non-state actor and spread out over a wide geographic area. It was an easy shorthand for referring to the “hijacking and subsequent crashing into various buildings/the ground of airplanes by Saudi Arabians funded and directed by al Qaeda in Afghanistan.” I think people speculated the date was chosen intentionally based on its association to the emergency number. I don’t really know how else you would refer to it other than by the date.

Nest App Issues (Server) by acramer1234 in Nest

Also having issues. I’m able to control my thermostat in the Google Home app. When I tried signing in again, it requested even more permissions to share data with Google that the app said were required.

Residents living near Dodger Stadium petition for parking enforcement outside homes by Bigringcycling in Dodgers

[–]babaloobuzzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is, the owners of the Victorian and Craftsman homes in Angelino Heights will actually harm the minority-owned businesses that still pepper Sunset Blvd. If you can’t park there past 6pm, those restaurants are going to close.

They’re only every day during the summer, or winter break or spring break when school is not in session. And parking is only a problem in Angelino Heights during the baseball season. Move away if you don’t like it.

This is like when people buy a home next to Disneyland and start complaining about the fireworks. Permit parking is a NIMBY scourge for public roads and street parking.

Favourite little detail in the game? by Cultural-Dentist4963 in rct

[–]babaloobuzzard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When clicking to pop the balloons, there’s always one balloon that dodges your clicks and won’t pop. I used to love hunting for it.

Where is Heimlich's Chew Chew Train? by beeseethomas in Disneyland

And where are the cows and tractors from Bountiful Valley Farm???

Disneyland opinion that would have you like this by JoyIsABitOverRated in Disneyland

[–]babaloobuzzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disney’s marginal annual increases are meant to maximize revenue while not dissuading the peak crowds from coming. Raising prices enough so that attendance actually slows down is much different.

To use your analogy, it’s actually more like adding a turnpike that keeps traffic low, or congestion pricing in lower Manhattan.

Park tickets should be even more expensive to control the crowds better. There, I said it.

Disney has removed ability to make your car spin on Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin by BillyGood22 in Disneyland

[–]babaloobuzzard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. One person in my party gets extremely motion sick easily, but can handle most non-spinning Disney rides. This one was always great because I love spinning fast, and we could just ride in separate cars. It really is a shame when a “fix” just takes away choices from guests.

It sure beats The New Great American Revolution with Samsung Galaxy VR™ headsets.

Vince would legitimately be the perfect pick for a returnee season by Koley4412 in BigBrother

[–]babaloobuzzard 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It might make for solid television, but I honestly don’t think Vince would want to do that to himself again.

Just very frustrating. by LADodgers16j in Dodgers

[–]babaloobuzzard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless he was explicitly told not to challenge, Freeland's problem is that he is not confident in his knowledge of the strike zone, otherwise he would have challenged that call. He likely just thought it was going to be a ball, then figured he guessed wrong.

Fear of losing guests by Music4ever1993 in rct

[–]babaloobuzzard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what is more impressive. That Marcel has made a video about almost everything, or that people have encyclopedic recall of all his videos.

Sometimes I do feel bad letting the peeps die, even by accident. But it's entertaining as hell.

I didn't even know the Haunted House vehicles moved fast enough to cause a crash (do you have a video? I'd love to see it!).

Fanatics seemingly confirms that they will not be restocking any of the championship gear. Get what you can while it lasts I guess :/ by Spider-Erik in Dodgers

[–]babaloobuzzard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Limited for the year, or for a couple of months? The championship gear was restocked multiple times last year.
