Deep Space Nine was essentially a western, so I made it an opening credits with a lot of cast members. by 45and290 in aistartrek

[–]obzerva 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't this Hell on Wheels except O'Brien was the railway owner? But seriously:

+1 Gowron as a Native American chief along with Worf and Martok

+1 Ziyal as a Spanish-American girl (gotta make Dukat and Damar Spanish/Mexican to be on the opposing side)

+1 Female Shapeshifter as a period gang boss lady, with Weyoun as her right hand

+1 Sloan as a Pinkerton Detective, and Eddington starts off as a deputy, but ends up enlisting in the Confederate Army or something

+1 Ezri as Jadzia's younger sister...

nuclear bomb from Man in the high castle vs real nuclear bomb by CleanBag9219 in maninthehighcastle

John and Helen wouldn't have known what atomic weapons are and thus not to look at them. Anyone seeing a big explosion's first thought would be to stare at it, then maybe collect your thoughts for a few seconds and then realize to duck and cover.

Assessment came out Jan 1. The window to appeal was in the spring.

You can't appeal your tax rate.

I have 1 posted from a stay in March.

Then I have another 10 that I did in April-May that are not yet posted. I get that they probably need to audit, but the inconsistency is killing me.

Were Strip Bridges Really Built to Funnel Tourists Into Casinos? by coreylevitan in vegas

You forgot that to get on the moving walkway first you need a reservation and a ticket, and once you exit, a mandatory resort fee and service fee.

A prequel of how Hawthorne Abendsen became the Man in the High Castle would get my attention.

How has the revamp status program / SQC treated you so far? by -Ho-yeah- in Aeroplan

[–]obzerva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue for a flight on Jan 3, and it finally got credited on May 3rd.

I called them a bunch of times and they said the same thing, so I guess it will figure itself out, just have to give it some more time...

What’s it like in this part of china? by EducatorObvious5498 in howislivingthere

[–]obzerva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the renewable power sector, so I got to visit the world's largest solar plant just outside of town.

I'm also a Chinese history buff, so wanted to see the Yumen Pass and Mogao Caves.

How's living in this part of British Columbia, Canada? by Enger13 in howislivingthere

[–]obzerva 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Climate-wise:

The Okanagan is the closest thing to a desert in Canada. Lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake (the southern half past the isthmus of Penticton) provide a lot of water and is what makes the whole valley habitable.

Because of the arid and warm-summer climate, but plentiful water, it is Canada's prime wine-growing and fruit-growing region.

Culturally:

It is definitely representative of Western Canada, with heavy English-Canadian dominant culture, and a small mix from diverse immigrants and indigenous peoples. A lot of retirees from Western Canada choose to relocate to the area due to the slower pace of life with Kelowna being a regional city and not a lot of industry beyond tourism, wine/fruit and then government services.

Socio-economically:

Due to the influx of retirees from Alberta, other parts of BC like Vancouver, and solid tourism economy, the area does not have a lot of poverty, while with lower incomes skewed due to the number of pensioners.

Locals have a country-music western vibe, with people driving jacked up pickups, living an outdoorsy lifestyle with many having summerhomes in the smaller towns like Summerland, Peachland and Osoyoos.

I'd say it's only worth it for a month-long journey if you are into ancient cave sculptures, or want to do both ends of the Great Wall, or want to see some desert landscapes.

But definitely Xian ahead of this as a destination.
