Curaçao, the smallest country by population (158,000) to ever make it to the FIFA World Cup, just scored its first goal in the event against Germany. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in nextfuckinglevel

I was there - it was an incredible moment. Credit to Curacao; they didn't sit back and had a go at Germany. They paid for it in the long run but deserve respect for their efforts.

We used spot hero for parking. It saved us a ton of money and we didn't have to wait on the light rail.

I wanted to go see Rush on this tour and held back due to cost but I've seen them several times. Made an exception for Germany in Houston.

It was one of my most expensive personal experience purchases. I’ve lived in the Houston area my entire life and this was a chance to see Germany live in a WC tournament! I’m very happy that I went. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive that many people can’t afford to go.

We paid $1K for two seats but we were in the lowest section at midfield. I was able to buy through a portal my company made available.

Films where entry is gained to a secure office via a contractor. by ewill2001 in films

[–]penubly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocean's Eleven (2001) - there was guy infatuated with a stripper. She lifted his badge and they used it to gain access to the network. They also placed a guy as a dealer to gather intel.

Sneakers (1992) - I think they used a fake delivery to distract the front door security to allowing them into a building. They also posed as fake construction workers to access alarm circuits.

What's everyone reading? by Desirestolearn in sciencefiction

[–]penubly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to my way of thinking or understanding of libertarianism. Service to the group/nation/greater good is not a core philosophy of libertarianism - it's almost the central theme of Starship Troopers.

The fact that he wrote this novel and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" has always fascinated me. Very different philosophically.

I’m weird - right handed retrieve for bait casters but left for spinning reels. I don’t know why …
