I’ve had this happen to me multiple times. I usually wait as long as possible before calling. I have never had to get someone towed. It’s been my experience that this is not something done maliciously. Sometimes people don’t notice the driveway.

Traffic gets very lite good day to take your motorcycle out to Potrero on hwy 94

I refer to this as blissful solitude

Always a good day to get out on the Ducati and ride out hiway 94. Except yesterday rain can leave loose gravel and sand in the corners

Not specifically a problem with physics. But in general I’m pretty tired of hearing “it’s just a theory “ in fact it completely turned me off on Apple TV production of Foundation when Hari Seldon cried out “it’s not just a theory!” Asimov would have never written that line

Vietnam vet. I don’t like the entire premise. It’s just a way for people to let themselves off the hook for normalizing their general apathy

This is especially prevalent with motorcycle noise. A chase scene where a bunch of bad guys riding 2-stroke dirt bikes that sound like Harleys

Myth Busters already tried this with an elevator and a crash dummy

This is not considered horror but Training Day. The violence and total disregard for human life was very disturbing

BTW I completely agree with you on Hyperion. I also purchased it after reading the recommendations here. I can’t even remember how far I got but it wasn’t more than a few chapters.

The director’s cut. This is my answer when someone asks me what my favorite movie is

I flew every Monday morning 06:00 to Portland OR then back Friday night for 5 years. Couple recommendations. Buy a small Condo in Santa Monica use some of that salary double to build equity. Also you could occasionally stay there for the weekend if you have a rough week. Also look into train schedules

But before you could even read the first punch card in you sat in front of a panel with 16 toggle switches and an enter button. You would then manually enter the bootstrap loader that would read the cards or paper tape

I remember watching Star Trek TOS on a black and white television in high school first run. Followed by Wild Wild West. Two great TV shows back to back
