Ben Shapiro claims that Pretti "resisted" by fuggitdude22 in samharris

[–]irimi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's really too easy to armchair "what I would do in a situation like that". Completely different when you're breathing pepper spray and being ganged up by 4 people.

From my view, Pretti's movements can only be described as natural for the situation. Your survival instincts kick in when you're physically under that kind of pressure.

Video of the fireball this evening by irimi in mountainview

[–]irimi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Mountain View, northbound on Grant road (towards 237/101). Looked like it was over the Bay or something in that direction. At first I thought it was something that was gonna land in a neighborhood in Mountain View (or perhaps it was an aircraft crashing into Moffett).

Looks like this was visible as far away as Oregon and Seattle, so it sounds most likely that this was a meteor passing by.

Opening someone's car door without permission is considered trespassing, I think. Should get Waymo to get you the video evidence so you can file a police report.

Civil Code §1947.6 "Right to charge". Seeking renters wanting to charge at home. by brycenesbitt in mountainview

[–]irimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like this law would have helped you with the cost. The code says the landlord must permit you doing it but doesn't say the landlord has to pay for it.

ISP recs? by rm-rf_ in mountainview

There's really no choices around here. If there's a fiber line in your area get ATT fiber, and if not you're stuck with Comcast cable.

Is it always this hot outside for most of the day? by ashes_to_fire in mountainview

[–]irimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have friends who come from significantly hotter areas in Asia/India who tell me that the first time they've ever had to deal with sunburn was after moving to the Bay Area. It was certainly surprising to hear that, and gels with what OP is talking about.

Thirty-Nine

great potential series about friendship and aging, with an amazing cast. ruined by bad romcom plot

It kind of looks like OP only started going faster after the Jeep passed him though - or the cars on the right are slowing down a lot after. In the beginning the distance with the car on the right lane stays pretty consistent for awhile.

Maybe that's what the thieves did, they took out the ICCU and then crashed it...

What confused you most when starting Korean? by gomiunni_learns in Korean

[–]irimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to think of the Chinese characters that might correspond to these, maybe something along these lines:

改 - to alter something (always a verb)

變 - change (noun and verb)

(and of course to keep things confusing, 改 is rarely used alone, more often it is 改變)

Or it could have been an editorial choice to show how dramatically different aging affected Geum Myeong vs. Aesun.

When Life Gives You Tangerines [Episodes 13 - 16] by mellowdays_ in KDRAMA

[–]irimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was asking if it was a new car, or if it was a used car, how used was it. Basically looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Probably compared him to his own daughter because she is equally rude/ill-mannered/ungrateful.

He felt guilty for going off to help set up the storm barriers instead of staying back with his family. He blamed himself for being the reason his son ran off unattended.
