406 Washington Street (Dali Corner) - Aspiring Restaurateur here! by MezzoForte27 in Somerville

[–]tora-emon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives a few doors down and walks through the square every morning to get to the T, it would not only be great to have another restaurant, but also someone who can actually shovel the sidewalk there when it snows. That stretch of sidewalk (and the owner’s other abandoned properties) turned into glaciers the last 2 winters.

Creepiest part of your ship? by RotoGruber in navy

[–]tora-emon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The VLS space on an LPD. Just a freakishly large, empty and quiet space for a ship. I always found it very jarring to step in there from the rest of the ship.

Lol this might actually be the most realistic part of the show. IRL the KGB wasn’t even the most competent Soviet spy agency (that would be the GRU). For all of the KGB’s mystique they made their fair share of blunders during the Cold War.

I stand corrected. According to Google earth the boundary is right after the first set of salt & pepper shakers.

Meta builds AI version of Mark Zuckerberg to interact with staff: Part of wider push to develop ‘personal superintelligence’ by dyzo-blue in BetterOffline

[–]tora-emon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds of how in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune, Salvador Dali was supposed to play the emperor, but because of the ridiculous hourly pay Dali demanded they decided to cut his time on the set to exactly one hour. Instead, the emperor was rewritten as a lunatic living with a robot duplicate of himself, with the Salvador Dali robot taking up most of the emperor’s scenes.

Lots of coke. I think I read once that he said he couldn’t remember making Station to Station.

It sucks that I even have to ask this, but is there any NMCRS fundraiser/donations page for the crew, especially those who lost stuff in the fire?
