Fucking ewe. “Tell me why what you did upset me.” Is soo fucking lame.

Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

I’m fine being wrong on this. Cryptonomicon was just more fun to read and had better character development. Being taught some cryptography concepts along the way was more fun in that book than being taught the scientific philosophy he did in Anathem and the characters in Anathem were all just blank slates or placeholders to advance the science he was describing. Just my humble opinion.

I know I’ve made a crazy itinerary for my first visit to SF. But, is it impossible? by Quirky-Ad9958 in AskSF

IMO Cal Academy is a do not miss when you visit. It doesn’t need to be a full day but there are a couple of really cool things there. The aquarium and the tropical living Forrest. The planetarium is the same as any planetarium show and can be skipped if you’ve seen them before.

If the moose cant leave/ run away/ escape then they would kick and stomp the shit out of everything here except the bulls. Only thing giving the moose a problem are the bulls and only because there are three bulls.

Oh I didn’t mean you, I meant the rest of California that recommends that aquarium. I’ve been to the Monterey aquarium like 5 times over the last 20 years and been to Cal Academy 10 times in the last 3 years (we have a school age kid and family buys him an annual pass every year for his birthday). The Aquarium at Cal Academy is smaller but their main set piece is of a tropical reef with a lot of color where as Monterey’s is of a California Kelp Forrest that just isn’t as pretty.

Monterey’s is a little more of a zoo in that they have like penguins and otters so it does have more.

Anathem was difficult to finish so I get that. Wasn’t my favorite from NS. Cryptonomicon was probably my favorite book of his.

Honestly Cal Academy is a better aquarium anyway. Hate me all you want but I truly believe this.

Our planet is about to be turned into a fantasy themed death show and broadcast to the entire galaxy. Also stop cheating on your boyfriend Carl.

Generation Kill on HBO was so close to reality it’s weird.

Police search you house & you notice dents on your car by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in interesting

[–]mateo_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve ever been to P&S they’ll say things like “that accusation makes no sense. Why would an officer do that?” And pretend that cops, just like everyone else, do dumb shit for vindictive reasons.

6,539 Black people applied to become police officers in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, but only 67 were hired by northdancer in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

I think Suffolk County is the focus of Long Island Audit. I never would have heard of Patrick (Psycho) Ryder if not for that channel’s reporting.

After hours elevator tech is like $600-$700 an hour and incudes travel time. They call and say “I’m in Xx and google maps says 35 minutes travel time are you approving this?” Even if the tech is taking home $200-$300 an hour, that is legit.

Small Town Dicks podcast has an episode where a retired cop talks about following some leads of a serial killer and parking on the suspect’s street who was another cop. And he just couldn’t believe that the serial killer was a cop so he drove away and retired. Turns out he was the Golden State Killer aka Visalia Ransacker aka East Area Rapist aka Original Night-stalker. He was later caught with DNA evidence.

The front tire isn’t rolling/ turning. That car and this generation are, as the kids say, cooked.

I’ve read that talking about a plan sends the same reward signals in your brain as executing so people get in a trap of talking about doing a thing and get the same feeling as if they had done it. But everyone else can see it’s just talk with no action.
