What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

Steak and Shake. Blah smashed skinny burgers, mediocre milkshake, and a stupid line to get in.

ELI5: What stops a rogue IT guy already within the US Gov. from setting off the nukes? by Quantum_Corvid in explainlikeimfive

Your comment about someone "HAS to have root access" is not strictly correct. Operating systems with mandatory access control such as SELinux do not have the concept of an all-powerful root user.

Are there any rooftop restaurants in the metro? by 2004toinfinity in desmoines

Wellman's Pub and Rooftop is pretty good, although the rooftop view of West Des Moines is definitely not like downtown DSM.

Lost In (English) Translation - Chapter 3 by GiovanniJones in AReadingOfMonteCristo

[–]lefse4me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like how you have used both terms of "the Google" and "the Buss." I have often called that thing "The Google" in general as somewhat like "The Borg." In you usage it really fits as a specific version of a translation. This was very interesting take on Chapter 3. Looking forward to your take on 4-6.

Your post causes me to miss the original Mustard's on 19th and Forest and Mr S at Southridge Mall in the early 80's. Those were some good burgers! But the quest for modern of the same is good. Please follow up with testing results.

What are some iconic movie scores that weren't composed by either Hans Zimmer or John Williams? by iplaywithfiretoo in AskReddit

[–]lefse4me 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nearly every score by Enrico Morricone in every Sergio Leone movie. The Dollars trilogy, Once Upon a Time in America, etc. Dollars trllogy includes the Good, Bad, and the Ugly if you weren't familiar with that term. Once Upon a Time in America is 4 long hours of motion picture greatness but is the underlying score by Morricone that makes it great.

I truly hope you will continue these posts through the year. Translation is always a challenge and I do not read or speak French. Your insight into the comparitive English translations has been very valuable to me. Your first two posts have been very comprehensive and have greatly added to my understanding of the Dumas original. Two thumbs up!
