TROPHY CASE

What music do you think will play over the season 5 end credits? by CurlingFlowerSpacein madmen

[–]InterPunct 9 points10 points ago

Buffalo Springfield released the song For What It's Worth in January 1967:

"there's something happening here/what it is ain't exactly clear... I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound/Everybody look what's going down"

I think it would be a good, foreboding cliffhanger kind of moment that captures the period well. The timeline is on the cusp of some huge cultural changes and it would also be a good teaser for the next season.

Clearly, this household is in need of some adult supervision.

This is probably cathartic for you, I'm glad you're doing it.

AFAIK traces remain for up to 30-days. Of course, the relative importance of this detail (in the context of this case) is debatable.

TIL Don & Megan's apartment is only a mile and a half from SCDP. by busterbluthOTin madmen

My commute is 13 miles to 185th Street in Manhattan, usually about an hour and 15 minutes door-to-door because that's fucking no-man's land up there.

Almost like it was the lingua franca of its time.

I hereby reject Quaker Oats cereal, master/slave disk drives, guinea pigs, scotch, Swedish meatballs, Irish stew, Boeotia, and both the San Francisco and New York Giants, just to be safe.

It's not the weird old hippie who's against legalization. Firstly, he likely has very little influence (read: money) on the legislators who have the power to change the law. Secondly, he's probably not in it for the money and it's comparatively chump change, anyway.

The real entities against legalization are the institutions with the means, motive and opportunity to keep it illegal because it's otherwise against their best interest: law enforcement, pharma manufacturers, and a broad range of compromised government agencies (FBI, DHS, etc.) among others.

It's not all these institutions, nor all members of these, and I'm trying not to sound all Unabomber conspiracy-minded about it but the motivations are pretty straightforward.

Let's say Greece is ejected from the Eurozone, where does that leave Greece economically on their own? Will the Greek economy ultimately default?

Did I just screw both OS's on my machine? by InterPunctin Ubuntu

[–]InterPunct[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, but neither worked. compiz replace looked like it ran but then never returned to the prompt. The compizconfig settings manager said I needed to run dpkg --configure -a then also never returned to the command prompt after I ran it.

Is there a way to force a re-install in place?

Thank you, I did not realize that. Obviously I haven't been keeping close tabs on things, what's the replacement for it?

You sometimes hear,"People on their cellphones all the time are ruining society." What other, older technologies were accused of ruining society, breaching ettiquette, or corrupting youth? by logantaurangain AskHistorians

In the 1980's when the Walkman was getting popular there was a social taboo that was being broken. The perception was that people walking around with headphones on was rude and anti-social.

Yay police violence. Horrible video of Kelly Thomas being beaten to death while pleading for his life. by noshoesnoshirtin Bad_Cop_No_Donut

A perfectly reasonable comment that invites discussion and as of now you've got -2 points. I've hung with this subreddit for a while but too often its proven itself to be populated by rash and immature commentary. Unsubscribed.
