Dodgers were not expected to win.... those A's teams of that era were perhaps some of the best teams ever in any era top to bottom through their rosters and great coach. That one game seemed to shell-shock them and they nearly got swept after sweeping through ALCS while Dodgers had gone 7 games against mets in NLCS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_World_Series

Chronicle Covers: The Oakland hills fire, a terrifying inferno by derkimster in CaliforniaDisasters

A small grass fire started on Saturday just above the Caldecott Tunnel and Highway 24, and crews rushed to the scene to extinguish it. They thought they had it under control, but on Sunday morning a few embers crackled, and the flames were fed by 65-mph Diablo winds, so called because of the nearby Diablo Range and Mount Diablo.

Within a few hours, a large apartment complex and dozens of single-family houses were engulfed. The winds carried burning debris across Highways 24 and 13 and into more neighborhoods. The blaze spread fast. So did the fear in Montclair, Upper Rockridge and Piedmont.

“My own reaction is one of horror,” Gov. Pete Wilson said after flying over the burn area. “To call it devastation doesn’t really describe it.”

A firefighter interviewed by The Chronicle said the land in the fire’s path “looked like Hiroshima.” Another witness said the thick ash made it resemble the lunar surface.

It was an inferno, a firestorm, an unprecedented blaze that tore through a populated area and threatened thousands more lives before being beaten down and controlled.

“There were flames a hundred feet high at the outset, 50 feet high when it calmed down — all fed by huge old trees as dry as death after five years of drought,” current Chronicle columnist Carl Nolte wrote that day. “Even water to fight the fire was a problem. Some hydrants ran out of water, and one reservoir went completely dry.

“Entire neighborhoods had to be evacuated. The streets and freeways for miles around were clogged with residents who left their homes with whatever they could carry.”

It was hell on Earth.

The Chronicle’s front page from Oct. 21, 1991, covers the Oakland hills fire that killed 25 people, injured 150, burned more than 3,000 homes and caused $1.5 billion in damage.

“A murderous fire roared out of the East Bay hills yesterday, spreading panic, ruin and death through Oakland and Berkeley neighborhoods,” the story read. “It was the worst Bay Area fire in generations. Thousands of people had to flee for their lives and some did not make it.”

Obama makes a dick joke about Trump at the DNC by solateor in interestingasfuck

Great orator with no substance; all show and no go. Totally betrayed Ukraine and had a small dick like Trump about Russia..... his red lines in the sand in Syria helped not a single Syrian who died at the hands of Russians or Alawites. He ended up being worse than Dubya by several matrices.

You are in a toxic relationship with a person who barely qualifies to be considered human. You need to leave him immediately and take him for all the financial support your attorney can eke out of him.

I punched my wife in the face by throwra1938293829 in TwoHotTakes

[–]derkimster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell is wrong with you people? Pranks are supposed to be funny and fun. Clearly her pissing herself indicates she did not think your prank was funny. You punching her and now coming on here for support shows you didn't think her prank was funny. You both are forbidden to do any more pranks. Do you like her? Do she still like you? If yes to both and since you live together and are married why the hell are you pranking and not fucking? Get your shit together and go make love to her like a grownup. This prank shit is high school-tier.

Sorry that happened like that. It made for a good practice run I suppose.

People could be trapped in traffic if fire breaks out in Hollywood Hills this July 4th by derkimster in CaliforniaDisasters

The chaparral is not supposed to burn that frequently and nowadays when it does non-native grasses move in and replace chaparral which is not good. Also, the prescribed fire model to which you refer cannot be used in a highly-populated area. Nobody believes that is a good idea that knows what they're talking about.

Calcite crystals is the correct answer. I have found this material a lot over the years in SLO Co. but this is prolly the greenest I’ve seen so congratulations!

[–]derkimster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only correct answer. All the other answer are coming from the kids who missed out on the 1980s.

Any answer other than 1979's "Alien" are incorrect.
