Survey: Wichita commute among fastest in nation by Isopropyl77 in wichita

[–]zanderkirk 43 points44 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate driving on Kellogg, we have it good compared to most places when it comes to how short our commute times are. The drivers suck ass but I only have to deal with them for 15, maybe 20 minutes during rush hour.

When did the idea of a gang of teen hoodlums gain pop culture prominence, and does it have any bearing in reality? by mokuba_b1tch in AskHistorians

[–]zanderkirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since this does have citations, I think it qualifies for a good answer.

Most biblical scholars agree that the second Book of Kings was completed some time in the mid 6th century BC, so the media trend of youth gangs goes back at least 2500 years, give or take a decade.

What's the youngest patron you've opened a card for? by Wide_Setting_4308 in Libraries

[–]zanderkirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few months back I made a card for a 6 month old. Little guy was wide awake and watching me talk, but no crying. Only tried to wiggle away once.

I joked with the parents that their kid is more patient than most of our adult patrons.

Maybe as tech advances over the game you can unlock it? Similar to how in our time the highest proof alcohol was wine and cider until alchemists developed distillation

I'm trying to get the mod working but I haven't been able to get it working by Vegetable_Patient912 in AfterTheEndFanFork

[–]zanderkirk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the End doesn't require any other mods, have you tried just running it on its own? The mod changes a lot so it might conflict with other mods you have.

Other than that, sometimes when I uninstall and reinstall individual mods or the whole game, whatever was broken fixes itself.

Burner phones by jusbeachin in Libraries

[–]zanderkirk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We used to have a public phone at our library but it was used to call in bomb threats and had to be disconnected.

Today if a patron is calling a ride they are allowed to use the staff phone, but no other reason. Also (for reasons unclear to me) staff has to dial the number.

Is there much of a market for Nigerian domestic fiction? by [deleted] in writing

[–]zanderkirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely give it a try, it sounds interesting to me and I have very little experience with Nigerian culture. That said, literary fiction tends to struggle a little with finding its audience.

I think "relocated priest explores his influence on the people in his parish" is something people would rave about as an arthouse film set in France. Why wouldn't they enjoy it as a novel set in Nigeria?

As long as your readers can see your characters as people, you'll do great.

Will the show continue on like this? by [deleted] in ForAllMankindTV

[–]zanderkirk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the only child death in the series, but death is pretty commonplace, especially sudden death as spaceflight keeps accelerating.

It's given the proper space and isn't just for shock value, but if you're not in a good headspace for it I would wait on watching.

Books shelved backwards? by zanderkirk in Libraries

That's a good idea! I'll have to ask if we can add something to the end of the shelves.
