   Really feels like we need a tough mayor to come down on this crap. As someone from a working class sicilian family living in the city since the late 1800s things these days are unbelievable. I don't understand how the city could have g

   I completely disagree with the public shaming aspect, it's unnecessary. This should be handled behind within the organization and employees should be aware but the public doesn't need to know. However, if the insinuations we are h

   Also not trying to imply you think they should get away with it. I had a really touchy situation with the person and 2 others, one of which knew what was going on and one who did not, discussing what is and isn't acceptable anymore. Un

    Spent time here unknowingly doing Geology research, saw an F-35 doing all sorts of goofy stuff such as what appeared to be a circle at a given altitude, climb a few thousand feet, another circle of the same diameter. Also plenty of sonic bo

    Is there an audio version? I am happy to read it but this would be perfect for a podcast length piece. He could be the tech Dan Carlin!

    I really have no expertise in this area but with the amount of lawsuits that occur these days it feels like as soon as someone was paralyzed or killed accessing this land you would be on the hook for not preventing them from accessing it. I

    There may be a 5th category, young families with dual income/no kids working in professions other than tech. My wife works in winemaking and I work as a Civil Engineer in the North Bay. Even with two career-type jobs we just barely wer

    No offense but a sommelier is a closer comparison to an employee at a record store than a musician. I think you are confusing them with winemakers?

    50 cent get rich or die trying is an excellent example of a poorly mastered album produced around the same time as well, vocals distorted throughout almost (if not) the entire album. I can't even imagine what the engineers were thinkin

    I am so happy to see this article. I used to play the Japanese release PSO with Barubary a LOT and heard bits and pieces about the FFV translation. At the time they were at UCI I believe and I was just in 7th grade. Baru always seemed incre

    Yeah they just irrelevant jokes and laugh at each other so you can't actually hear what is going on. They have really gone downhill with their live coverage.
