It was a complete and total shock, I tell you.
  • Oh I had no idea they could take that long, the bridge I knew about obviously handled much smaller ships I think like 15mins was max for the bridge time from the city I knew. Of course this city was still like 30mins driving end to end (in better traffic) so not huge. Appreciate the reply, thank you, learned something which is always a bonus.

  • It was a complete and total shock, I tell you.
  • Okay I have no drawbridges close by, is it because traffic backs up so much or because the drawbridge takes so long? I imagine a combination so really curious on the drawbridge time needed I guess.

    Used to live in a city that would raise a bridge for a ship but I tried not to travel that way if possible. It was on the coast so you could drive around, though probably worse traffic felt like it was moving.

  • Trump expects Biden to be a 'worthy debater' after spending months attacking his mental fitness
  • From the guy that also had 'executive time' blocked off many (most? All?) mornings of his presidency, he only wanted to be in front of the cameras. Trump has never worked for what would amount to a full time day in his life I bet.

    Amazes me that a grifter who I doubt anyone would truly trust to babysit or even be a manager at a fast food joint gets so much support and offered access to some of the world's most secret Intel.

  • Trump vows to defund schools requiring vaccines for students if he's reelected
  • Also doesn't that open up to vouchers for Christian schools, which of course is a big bonus. I'm not from the States so fuzzy on how that side works exactly.

    Edit,I do mean a bonus for the fanatical right that wants a Christian state, not a bonus for freedom.

  • Evidence
  • Seems like a distinction without a difference, I sort of assumed the OP meant that is all I mean. We don't know anything before the beginning after all. Like you said.

  • Tim Burton's Batman is 35: Once Upon a Time, Superhero Movies Could Be Bold Auteur Visions
  • Shame you were down voted, everyone likes their own things. I preferred the first one until the Nolan ones myself (lived in the middle of nowhere was actually one of the few theatre movies I saw) but there was a horrible drought of superhero movies for those decades and any Batman was fun to get.

  • I don't mind paying taxes for services. I mind very much billionaires not paying taxes.
  • Instead of the $1 menu (wait does that still exist?) they get to choose from the billionaire menu except it's required...as long as they can't lobby for the billionaire menu items which is a dream too. It would have to be programs that actually show they help people in easing financial needs of course.

  • Donald Sutherland Dies: Revered Actor In ‘Klute’, ‘Ordinary People’, ‘Hunger Games’ & Scores Of Others Was 88
  • I assume that's from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I've only seen the pose spoofed in other media, most memorable being Space Quest IV (think it's that one, been a few decades since playing the series now). Mean to watch it someday, maybe a good time in remeberance.

  • Fauci: Trump really believed COVID would “disappear like magic”
  • He could have been an okay President...if he was an entirely different person. Even if he did what you said he still hijacked ppe from states, answered softball questions like 'what would you tell the American people who are scared?' by telling the reporter he was nasty. The question and reply are probably off but should be similar enough. Pretty sure he was upset Faucci was getting more attention for awhile since Trump can never be wrong and Faucci wanted to tell the truth. I don't think it's possible for Trump to have come off as even okay is all.

  • Who or what started the multiverse concept and why?
  • According to a few Google searches it was a physisict Hugh Everett in the late 50s. I am sure there were others in more meta and philosophical concepts in the past but I get the idea he is the known physicist to come up with it.

    Disclaimer I didn't read a lot but his name came up a few times and I assume he had a theory that could relate to physics at the time.

    I still like that Flash was probably the first for pop culture, when weird time travel started happening in other shows (after deep into Flash recent series) I started joking it was just Barry messing up crap between the multiverse and time.

  • oh the irony
  • Or when humans think they're better than other humans cause of where they were born. Such a silly metric, we're all fucking born on Earth and the same species ya jackasses.

  • Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god
  • You think there can only be one god? That sounds limiting. I don't believe in any, but say does Buddhism really contradict most of Christianity real values? Like be good to people (help the less fortunate) try to let things go to not burden your well being (praying for forgiveness), respect others (do unto others). Besides having to actually believe in a god what's the difference between the two? Though the Buddhist view I'm thinking of doesn't require a god either but both seem to have teachings of compassion and love for your fellow person (some restrictions apply when dealing with intolerant types). I'm not saying you shouldn't have faith but don't say one has to be wrong.

    How long would it take to travel 80 miles in a car travelling 80 miles per hour?
  • Yeah isn't he The Captain? (how I met your mother, how I always call him out with my girlfriend). Yes I know he did plenty but for some reason that one sticks, even if I half watched Dune with my dad in the 80s and 90s.

  • He can be president but he can’t be a nurse: The jobs Trump can’t get with felony convictions
  • I sometimes wonder if Trump even realizes half of what he does is a crime as opposed to just doing what it takes to make more money or what he's done since like the 70s. But then I realize I'm trying to understand Trump and attempt to think about literally anything else, cause I do not have the post graduate degrees to truly comprehend.

  • Fallout TV Show Could Now Last Five Seasons After ‘Immensely Surprising’ Popularity, Say Creators
  • Sometimes it's the enjoyment of what happens in a show that makes it enjoyable, or the just the actors giving a great performance with what they get, regardless of when executives want to cancel it cough firefly cough. I do agree it sucks but sometimes it's still worth the watch is all. Maybe they'll realize errors if enough people watch the better stuff even if unfinished in the future, but doubtful. Also I'm a Stephen King reader so used to not so great endings heh but the middle parts can be awesome at least.

    Trump tells rally-goers not to die in Vegas heat: ‘I don’t care about you’
  • I kinda thought he was attempting a joke but he only knows how to be mean for a laugh and has no idea why an actual joke works. But since his fans will cheer for anything mean it doesn't help either. Like the toddler that learned people laugh when they say a swear word, let's just keep doing that until nap time.

  • ‘Rigged’: Trump attacks judge and courts in first post-conviction rally
  • Yeah and it's so annoying some people don't want to realize how awful he is when he pulls this crap. Like they take his word as gospel, the dude who lies about the colour of the sky.

    I get that they don't want to be wrong but maybe the lesson is, we have to teach people it's okay to accept we're wrong and to change our ways. Digging into a bad hole is as bad as being bombed into one.

  • C++
  • First year programming in the late 90s .. segmentation fault? I put printfs everywhere. Heh. You'd still get faults before the prints happened, such a pain to debug while learning. Though we weren't really taught your point of the comment at the time.

    Least that was my experience on an AIX system not sure if that was general or not, the crash before a print I mean.
