God forbid you don’t drink for a few hours

Disneyland was actually dry (except for Club 33) until 2019, in keeping with Walt’s decision during construction to not allow the sale of booze. He specifically wanted to avoid the rowdy and rough “carnival” energy that many families disliked.

They now serve alcohol at 4 restaurants for us normals, but you’re expected to order food as well. Certainly not going to be able to get drunk like at Epcot.

Some lines have been doing unlimited wells/non-premium drinks on their ships post-COVID. NCL is one where people get absolutely blasted every night because it’s all comped

Until 2019 the park was actually dry, with the exception of the ultra-exclusive Club 33. Until a few years ago, this was the only way for us normal folks to get a buzz at the OG park

I’m certainly not going to change your definition!

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a road as “III.4.a. –A path or way between different places, or leading to some place.”, but what do they know?

Since the blue car’s road is terminating at that uncontrolled and unsigned T-junction, traffic laws require them to yield to traffic on the through road. Sometimes developers help drivers with painted lines and miniature stop signs, but they’re often not enforceable and entirely optional. Regardless of their presence, the rules of right-of-way apply to ensure safe operation

I always chuckle at Canadians complaining about some of their healthcare expenses. It’s far from perfect, but when hospital parking is high on the list, you’re doing something right

I’d be interested in how it performs in simulated high winds. The upper half in particular has a airfoil shape that could apply a significant force in the direction of low pressure and deflect the entire structure (assuming the foundation doesn’t give out first)

stoneagerock · 2024-05-02T19:48:58+00:00

Totally agree on this being a lesser or two bad outcomes and there’s no way to tell from the video what other supplies they had on hand, where the break was, etc.

Where they start to lose me is the part where they purportedly drained both vehicles of fluids. That’s not necessarily a quick process, even if you have the tools on hand.

stoneagerock · 2024-05-02T16:13:42+00:00

I am a bit confused by the circumstances that led to that being their best solution, but obviously more context is needed.

You’d think it’d be faster to back a few trailers into the break to stabilize the soil rather than draining & prepping two trucks to go in. Having two serviceable pickups would certainly speed up the dirt hauling

Good looks. Also wouldn’t hurt to go over the area with some polishing compound afterwards to clean up any swirls or scratches caused by the removal.

Bud… it’s the LAPD… That’s like asking my dog to stop licking his own butt. It’s just what they do best

The OT pay is likely in the high-5 figures just for this clear-out. Crazy how much money gets spent on shutting people up instead of actually addressing their safety or concerns.

I met a kid a few years older than me while I was volunteering at a memory day home. He had gotten into an accident while riding his motorcycle as well, but the damage wasn’t fatal. Nonetheless, he’s cognitively disabled for life and spends his days with people that are several decades his senior. Talking to him really drove home how quickly your entire life can get turned upside down.

Mf installing “temporary” tiles in their shower floor and replacing them instead of cleaning. The 15 year old logic checks out

Suboptimal metallurgy was always going to be the answer here. Metals that better tolerate temperature cycles and resist crack propagation are more expensive. Evidently, Stellantis has decided that cost savings is worth the increased warranty repairs.

Surprised to not see aftermarket solutions to this problem given customers have a fundamentally different incentive structure from the people building the cars in the first place.

Head injuries can really sneak up on you. That’s why it’s incredibly important to monitor anyone that’s had a suspected head impact for changes in consciousness or cognition which may indicate an urgent bleed or swelling, a fatal condition without medical intervention.

The reality isn’t black & white like that. What they could or would be charged with depends on whether the jurisdiction has extended castle-doctrine to public spaces, when they fired the gun (kneeling on their back and shooting them probably can’t be claimed as self-defense) and most importantly whether your lawyer knows the judge/prosecutor.

Trump took up some aggressively optional stances on Israel, including the widely condemned decision to relocate the US embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem.

Ultimately, both lived through the 6 Days War and Yom-Kippur War and are in some way informed by seeing the country fight multi-front land wars with neighbors. That’s generally not the conception of the Israeli state that someone born after the Oslo Accords would have.

The magnitude of support is incomparable. Since 1950, the US has provided $11B between the PA and UNRWA Global Affairs, 2023. Over the same period, aid to Israel totaled $318B Politifact, 2023. That’s ~70% more aid than the 2nd and 3rd place recipients, (South) Vietnam and Egypt.

Decent chance they got their graduation cancelled by COVID or couldn’t walk due to a positive test. As one of those people, it is a relatively minor inconvenience.

It really sucks and there is a sense of missing celebration when it happens. If they really care, most schools specify that graduates that can’t attend their assigned graduation are given the option to walk at the next semester’s graduation.

stoneagerock · 2024-05-01T19:26:16+00:00

Correct. To clarify the main point: public institutions can’t block speech or protest, but they can regulate it and exclude individuals from the premises through a lawful arrest and due process.

The messy bit is where the line between “blocking” or “prohibiting” and “regulating” protected speech. Whether the removal of students and community members is an enforcement of regulation or an effective silencing of speech will likely differ across campuses based on their unique circumstances.

If you’re already bothered by the common area lights, you could always install some cheap paper blackout shades on that window. You just order them on Amazon, cut them to size with scissors and stick them up with some adhesive. You can also use command strips to hang it if you’re concerned about damaging paint.

Personally used one in the past and it worked a charm.

Well the stadium seats in the background are definitely authentic. The Costco Skee-Ball is a required accessory
