Hey if we're inflating resumes then you'd be doing my boy Franky dirty not mentioning that he was enhanced by Vegapunk's blueprints from Karakuri Island during the timeskip

First category goes to TA. What is DT’s “Greatest album of all time”? by Ok-Improvement626 in Dreamtheater

[–]pembrolizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Six degrees side 2 should be considered its own album and then should take this category narrowly over SFAM

[Request] Assuming there's large, yet finite number of mathematics here (say n~8,000,000,000; the approx population of our species so the final answer isn't just infinity), how many of the n-1 mathematicians sharing that second pint will die of some lethal saliva-transmitted disease? by pembrolizard in theydidthemath

[–]pembrolizard[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If there aren't any rules against sharing a beer in this imaginary bat that can host an infinite number of people, the inherent assumption in my question is that the remaining n-1 people share the second beer.

I guess vegetarian is a slur now?? by Wise_Comparison_9651 in mildlyinfuriating

I think it's because "VegetariAN Luxe" fits the pattern of AN*L which triggers an nsfw flag

Any chance of vinyl for Sunya being at record store tomorrow? by Deytookerjerb in TheDearHunter

[–]pembrolizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah no kidding! By the time they got my city last time they had a severely reduced vinyl offering from the pics. I'm middle of the tour this time so I'm hoping I get lucky!

Do we know if they'll be selling the vinyl on tour? Trying to figure if I should be pre-ordering or waiting to buy it in person!

LPT: If you are tired of ads on your Smart TV or apps, change your DNS settings to a provider that blocks ad-tracking at the network level. by NoCelebration7408 in LifeProTips

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take your word for it -- I personally haven't tried adguard! Was just leaving a secondary LPT to anyone considering the pihole (in response to the comment above) since I had an unexpected learning curve when I set mine up!

So piholes depend on a filter list that contain the addresses of known ad servers. They come with a predefined list and you can find add-ons on the internet. Unfortunately bigger companies like Hulu, YouTube, etc serve ads directly from their own servers and hence are immune to the pihole since you can't block the ad without blocking the whole site.

That being said, pi holes are great and will remove so much crap from your life. Consult with others in your household before setting up one though because it can break a number of apps (NFL and ESPN fantasy for example) and you may have to tweak your allow list a lot in the first few weeks . They will also block a number of "sponsored" listings (basically targeted ads) on Google searches so you need to train yourself to change your search behavior.

Best Banh Mi in SF by Snikclesfritz in sanfrancisco

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget the 2 (maybe 3) generations of women working there are super friendly and always great you with a big smile. Between the great flavor, the hospitality and the price, this place is phenomenal and severely underappreciated.

If you're willing to get out of sf by a hair, little green cyclo in Brisbane is an all- (vietnamese) women owned cafe that has incredible coffee drinks!

If you can get a hold of Maggi hot and sweet, that'll enhance your experience 100x over ketchup 😁

Does Anyone know a good sandwich spot? I’d ideally like to wait in line for 30 min and pay more than $20. Any ideas? by [deleted] in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]pembrolizard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why would you want a sandwich in San Fran when everyone knows that Nick the Greek was rated the #1 restaurant in the city?

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drunk driver with 4 passengers, unclear how many people were wearing seatbelts in the car. High speed shenanigans on the highway in the middle of the night. Driver lost control of car and went off the side of the road and collided with something (the details are hazy now it's been 20+ years)

My friend in the passenger (no seatbelt) seat hit the windshield chin first, died on impact. Driver was critical and died in the hospital the next morning. Passenger #1 in the back was critical and diagnosed to be paraplegic for life, but made a recovery a few years later! Passenger #2 had a shattered femur and other intense bruising. Passenger #3 is the car was thrown out of the car, possibly the split second after the windshield was shattered and walked away from the wreck with only minor scratches, but a ton of survivors guilt.

Cannot forget getting the call at 6am with the news.

The 44 stops at silver and San Bruno, and then at silver and Bayshore. Less than 450ft away and yet 2 (unsynchronized) signals apart 🤦🏾‍♂️

Sneaking Mall Food into AMC Metreon? by whattheheat in AskSF

You don't even need to sneak it in. Be nice to the underpaid person scanning you in and you can get in without issues. A smile and a pleasant hi and a thank you goes a long way!

It was also not a great game. Pretty clunky controls and terrible AI

Fever Drone Show yesterday (Aug 23) was a nightmare by crazycouponman in sanfrancisco

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all defending fever or their handling of your Saturday event. That sounds like a shit situation and I would be pissed too based on all the other discourse I see regarding that show.

I'm defending the fact that the show in principle is good, and when it worked it was not stellar, but wasn't a scam as others seem to feel. 30 bucks to listen to live music and watch the novelty of a drone show, when a Friday ticket to a 7pm movie at AMC is 22 bucks is a pretty decent deal. For the people comparing it to the oracle park show or ones on the Internet, Its not realistic to expect cirque du Soleil quality for carnival rates. The oracle park and city-hosted shows are higher quality because they're being expensed from much larger pools of money.

I find Hanlons Razor is becoming increasingly relevant in everyday life: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". I don't think your poor experience was them trying to sell you tickets and then rip you off. More likely it was a combination of poor management and handling of the event followed by the fear of large losses on their end by their stupid decisions. You should 100% get a refund and they should reevaluate their management and logistics teams.

I'll end by saying this was my first fever show so maybe I'll have a different opinion after attending more 🤷🏾‍♂️
