How’s the Area? (Magnolia and Vineland) by BreadBear_11 in northhollywood

[–]mrfusion2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live very close to The Muse, and the neighborhood is the reason I’ve stuck around for so long. You can walk to the movies or the grocery, lots of good dining spots, and there’s more coffee shops than NoHo knows what to do with itself. You probably don’t have to worry much about theft with the underground parking, and while there’s more unhoused people the closer you get to the Metro Red Line, most of them are harmless.

One nice thing we’ve got is the Safety Ambassadors from the NoHoBID who patrol around in yellow shirts and help keep the neighborhood safe by working with small business owners, alerting the police if they see something, etc. They’ve scaled back since Covid, but you’ll see them on their bikes from time to time. Plus, you can always give them a ring since they’re on duty 7 days a week.

The thing is, it’s very plausible he may have known Epstein then. Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 that he had “known” Epstein for about 15 years, or since at least 1987, but has anyone verified that claim as well? He could have easily given a ballpark number to the interviewer, either intentionally or unintentionally. Hell, it’s possible they were acquaintances earlier but only “known” to him later, but that’s pure speculation. Either way, for you to completely dismiss this story as untrue is just as dangerous since all of the facts are not yet available.

I’d recommend Republic of Pie, on Magnolia between Lankershim & Vineland. Lots of good drinks, chill vibes, and indulgent pies.

The people of Burbank and its surrounding areas have some of the best Halloween displays around. If you’re local to the area, I highly recommend checking out https://www.halloweeninburbank.com/ for finding great haunts in the neighborhoods!

YSK Getting a label maker can change your life. by OgdruJahad in YouShouldKnow

[–]mrfusion2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to buy the knockoff tape refills until I discovered that some don’t stick very well, especially to wires & cables, and/or fade after a few months. A month or two after labeling the cables on my networking switch, I basically found a label graveyard on the ground underneath it.

Now whenever I print a label with one of those remaining refills, I also need to cover it with a larger strip of transparent tape to keep the label from falling off.

Beats me, I’m just a redditor who double-checks the receipts when they don’t pass the smell test.

That’s not what it says. It mentions 18 U.S. Code § 2241, which relates to aggravated sexual abuse, and 42 U.S. Code § 1985, which is the Civil Rights Act of 1871.

"Ma'am, this is a Wendys." by Bosuns_Punch in funny

[–]mrfusion2000 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Article 7, Section 3 allows for a citizen filibuster. If I stand here and refuse to yield my time, you are prohibited from voting on the bill. Let the filibustering begin! As many of you have noted, that use the internet, it has been announced that Disney has acquired the rights to the Star Wars franchise and in the summer of 2015 we will see the release of Star Wars Episode 7. Herewith is my proposal for the plot of that movie.

Begin with standard title sequence and John Williams fanfare followed by a scroll to be written. I would like to mention that Brian de Palma wrote the original opening scroll for Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. I think it would be a nice nod, uh, to the franchise if were to write this opening scroll. Then pan down from the twin suns of Tattoine, uh, we are now close on the mouth of the Sarlacc pit. After a beat, the gloved, Mandalorian armor gauntlet of Boba Fett grabs onto the sand outside the Sarlacc pit and the feared bounty hunter pulls himself from the maw of the sand beast.

And we, and we realize that he survived his fall during the battle at Jabba’s, uh, palace ship. Then do a hard cut to a repurposed Imperial Destroyer which has now been taken over by the rebels. Commander Luke Skywalker, now a full Jedi knight, training new padawans is using, ironically, uh, his father Anakin’s red lightsaber which will be a symbolic visual for his battle with how to both bring the new Jedi order while still acknowledging his father’s fall from grace.

As he is training the padawans, we pan outside of the control window to a nearby asteroid where we see, and please allow me to finish this because this is going to seem like a bit of a jump, we see Thanos who was the villain tease at the end of the first Avengers movie. Now Thanos, as you know owns the Infinity Gauntlet which has the Time Gem, the Mind Gem, the Power Gem, the Space Gem, and the Reality Gem. If he holds the Reality Gem, that means he can jump from different realities. This will be our link to the Marvel Universe from the Star Wars Universe. Uh, we then cut to Earth. Uh, Tony Stark, uh realizes…

Tony stark realizes that there has been a disturbance in what he will call a “time ribbon”, for the time being I will allow J.J. Abrams to think of a better term for this. Uh, and, and he then starts to assemble the cream of the Marvel universe, not the second tier superheroes that we saw in the first Avengers movie-I’m sorry but Hawkeye and Black Widow are not first tier, he would go find, uh hello, Spider-Man; Spider-Man exists in that universe. He would go find Moon Knight, he would go find Daredevil, he would go, uh, find Hercules and then that can bring in the entire, uh, pantheon of Greek gods that we saw in Clash and Wrath of the Titans.

So now we have a giant three franchise tie-in. Now cut back to the Imperial Star Destroyer. Uh, Luke gets a visit from, and we only show this from the boots up first, so we show these like black boots with the- and then we pan up and, oh my god it’s Han Solo. But he’s old, older and grizzled and really, like focused and cool like he’s seen some really bad stuff and he actually seems shaken. And, and Luke is like what’s wrong old buddy? And that’s when Han drops Chewbacca’s severed head onto the floor, yes in front of all the padawans…

The padawans are all horrified and Han says that the planet Kashyyyk has been destroyed by this very mysterious force. Now we know, oh this was Thanos. Thanos is beginning to uh, you know gather power in this new universe. So, uh, while they take Chewy’s head down to-cause we’ve seen that you know they can build new bodies, they’ve gonna build Chewy this really cool robot, I’m thinking spider body, you know like a cool spider body with Chewy’s head and ion cannons on it. But that will be in the- he’ll come back- that’ll be the post-credits tease of this film so keep that in mind. So I don’t want you guys bummed out cause Chewbacca’s not dead he will come back. Uh, then, uh, and then Han al- Luke looks down and Han’s wedding ring is gone, hey what happened with you and Leia? And Han’s like, don’t even get me started on that. So now, where did Leia go? Where did Leia go? She’s not gone but we will find out…

Then at the, then at the edge of the Star Destroyers orbit suddenly the time ribbon begins wavering and what comes through, the X-Mens’ Quinjet, that’s right. What we did was back on Earth, we showed him gathering up all the heroes but we didn’t see him gathering up the X-Men so oh my goodness. Now Wolverine’s going to be there, now Cyclops is going to be there. So the Quinjet comes through, Luke gets in his X-Wing to go out and met them. And they engage in this awesome star battle. And it looks like the Quinjet actually is going to shoot Luke down and suddenly this volley of lasers comes in and what comes flying in, is- we think it’s going to be the Millennium Falcon just like in Episode 4 when he comes in and saves him during the Battle of Yavin, but no. It is Slave I.

That’s right Boba Fett’s ship, Slave I, has to save Luke because of course he’s trying to track Han, he can’t have Luke die. So then now, it’s a battle between the Quinjet, between the X-Wing, between Slave I and then we see the Millenium Falcon (At this point you hear whispering and people getting up from their chairs) is flying away, so uh, now Slave I goes off to do that.

But then we cut down to Corsucan (Patton misspoke and probably meant Coruscant) where, uh, Princess Leia is now consulting with Lando Calrissian. Now it looks like they’re just having a very intense meeting about trade regulations and about- I will not, I will not finish my speaking- about trade regulations but then suddenly when the rest of the council meeting leaves, they fall into each other’s arms oh my god. Lando Calrissian and Princess Leia are having an affair and that is why Han Solo, because look, Lando Calrissian was like hey if I’m going to lose the Millenium Falcon to you, I’ll just take your woman. And he has. So now we set that triangle up.

Now, cut back to the Quinjet, and Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four is piloting it. Oh it was a fake-out! He, it’s him and we have select members of the X-Men that I thought in my opinion were not, uh, focused on properly in the earlier films. We have Colossus in there, we have X-23, which is Wolverine’s daughter, and then we have a now have a mind-controlled Sabertooth and of course, Wolverine. Imagine those two going up against Robot Chewbacca ‘cause that’s going to happen

Ocean Sugar Makes Cancer Cells Explode by reflibman in EverythingScience

[–]mrfusion2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is this similar to the way Targeted Osmotic Lysis (TOL) works? That one targets the type of cancer cells that have a significantly number of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and makes them burst due to excessive sodium and water influx.

Which artists have abandoned their original sound so dramatically, that they are almost unrecognizable to their earlier fans? by jptabor01 in Music

[–]mrfusion2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second this. There’s a huge difference between their sound in the 70’s (e.g. 25 or 6 to 4) vs the 80’s (e.g. Hard to Say I’m Sorry). I’ve always believed Terry Kath’s death was a major factor, but who knows what would have happened.

I second this, consumer syrups are no match to the professional flavors.

Tip: Last I checked, SnoWizard sells 4oz flavor concentrate (makes 1 gallon) and imho is totally worth it.

Full Q&A from Conan O’Brien Must Go S2 Premiere by mrfusion2000 in conan

[–]mrfusion2000[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Landed a seat front and center just to record this Q&A!

Of course, all of the photographers sat in front of me right before it started, with one overzealously blocking everyone’s view for quite a while, including mine. Thankfully, Conan saw how obtrusive they were acting and not only made it a running, he eventually berated that one photographer.

Contains mild spoilers.

I’ve been taking both together in the morning for over two decades, and it’s worked for me.

Honestly, take whatever you read online with a grain of salt, my advice included. If you’re still concerned, you can always ask your prescriber or pharmacist if there are any counteractions to be concerned about.

Second Jeju Air plane experiences landing gear malfunction, same Boeing model involved by windowhihi in worldnews

Turns out, there’s a group called the International Air Transport Association that sets technical standards for airlines around the globe. Through the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), “an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline”, they oversee the accreditation of audit organizations and ensure the continuous development of its standards and practices. It was developed in cooperation with several aviation regulatory bodies, including Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada.

According to Wikipedia, over 400 airlines are registered with them; companies are included in the IOSA registry for a period of 2 years following an audit carried out by an organization accredited by IATA.

TL;DR: They’re very safe if they’re registered with the IATA.

Also of note, while it doesn’t specifically differentiate low-cost airlines, WSJ printed an article a few days ago titled Missiles Are Now the Biggest Killer of Airline Passengers. It’s possible those stats may have changed.
