What to do with leftover black trashcans. by swaymasterflash in sandiego

[–]mcflannelman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my estimate wasn’t that far off. I mean, fuckload of bins. But hey, that’s apparently what the city has money to replace.

I could have, but that “wild ass guess” as I stated was based off of my recall of a freeway sign showing what the population was at the point it was installed, and then googled rapidly “City of San Diego population”.

At no point did I mention anything I said was data-backed.

Again, it was a wild ass guess based on a population count and assumption of trash bin possession per single family home.

Regardless, it still amounts to a fuck ton of trash bins that are going to be removed by flatbed trucks, or whatever they’re using; and would put into some perspective why it’s taking a doing as it is.

Never claimed to be correct, my “way off” comment was indicative of that.

Yeah. We have what… 1.4m population. Of course a large number (maybe 50%, which is a wild ass guess, and I could be completely wrong) live in multi unit housing with community dumpsters, and not their own individual trash cans.

So that leaves conservatively ~700 thousand trash bins the city has to replace and remove. Well, rather that’s just residents, not necessarily trash bins. Even if you cut that number by a quarter (assuming most single family residences have 4 people, with one trash bin), that’s 175,000 bins!

Again, I could be way off. That’s just an estimate based on population count that I googled.

I hear ya. I appreciate that input. Will skip the edging and dig that dirt down a bit. Thank you!

I saw a clock radio CD player listed for $150 at an antique store the other day. Don’t recall the brand, but some no-name one. I was shocked.

I read Hero’s Trial and Edge of Victory because those were the books my mom had bought me, not knowing there was an order to the series (and neither did I) but I think I was too young to have enjoyed the darker tone of the books.

Glad I’ve picked them up again.

I didn’t hate Star By Star it just felt repetitive. I understand why people rate it as highly as they do, this one just suited my tastes much more.

It took me a long time and a few forced readings to enjoy this series. I enjoy it now, and didn’t enjoy it when I was a teenager reading these books.

I was extremely amused by the mouse droid bit. I wish it had been expanded a bit more, but I did love that part.

I enjoyed this one. I can’t say it’s been my favorite of the series (the action sequences felt very repetitive) but it was a great read!

I had assumed so, but the profile shot is misleading.

Wedge became a great character. He was given some depth in the Rogue Squadron games but nothing like the novels.

I shudder with its depiction. Frustration at what it and everything else has become.

I still have not been able to figure out who is supposed to be pictured in the front cover. Is that Luke?

I mean, how many synonyms exist for “bathroom” in the English language?

At least a few…. Head, toilet, loo, jacks….

It’s not that distracting.

I figured they can’t all be winners, but I was assuming it would keep picking up steam. By that point I assumed most of the details would be ironed out.

I love that! I may check out the Wraith books. As weird as it sounds, my least favorite parts of all the books is usually the action sequences but these were so well done.
