Cop Engaged In Traffic Stop Leads To Life Sentence
newtboyYep, that's some seriously wasteful bullshit, even if most involved are off duty, that's thousands and thousands of tax dollars in traffic/crowd control, and hundreds in vehicle upkeep for some feels. We don't pay taxes for that type of use, so it's theft. It's nice to know that there's no crime in SF and that their police equipment was just sitting around totally unneeded....oh, wait.
It's amazingly hypocritical of you to support this kind of blatant waste of taxpayer money when you are one who screams bloody murder about taxes and needed services costing way too much. Justify your position.
I guess we'll never again hear you complain about taxes or government waste then, huh? That alone makes it worth the massive waste of money and services for me (but I didn't have to be inconvenienced by that crap either, like thousands trying to work were).
Edit: How would you react if that little bat boy was black? Not as supportive, I'm 100% certain.
Just for you @newtboy
This Batkid and all San Francisco cops and government officials wasting your government dollars --
Blow your gasket now.
Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?
JustSayingWhat do you mean when you say 'hardcore SF'?
2001? Star Wars? Bodysnatchers? Flash Gordon?
I'm personally just glad that at least someone in Hollywood knows how to make fun superhero movies. Outside a handful of Batman and X-Men movies, most superstuff is seriously lacking. I'm looking at you, Warner Bros.
But I get the fatigue. I suffered from it as well. I watch most of the TV shows.
Quote hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I'd be happy to take about a 10-year break from marvel movies. Especially if we got hardcore SF movies in return.

Looks pretty good.
SF/fantasy movies I'm looking forward to the most this season, in order of anticipation (higher number is less anticipation)
1. The Arrival
2. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them
3. This one
4. Rogue One
John Oliver - Refugee Crisis
chicchoreaSpeaking only to Assad's motivation or provocation, Assad like his father needs none save preservation of his power.
I had a friend formerly of the Syrian special forces in the 80's who informed me that no SF units were allow within 250 miles of the capital at that time owing to the wiping out of the population of a small city with nerve gas. Assad is well and western educated but of the same cloth as his father.
It is easily referenced on the Net.
The western world had no right to go intervening in Syria's internal affairs in the first place. Guns and mercenaries were flooding in what was Assad supposed to do about it? What about those chemical weapons, notice we don't use that as a reason for our meddling anymore? It's because we now know that it was actually rebels on our side who used them and they were supplied by a Saudi prince. We constantly try to imply is was Assad but in fact we knew it was our side almost from day one. Whats the real reason for all this mess? Well it's oil of course. Qatar wanted to build oil pipelines in Syria and Assad wanted to do a deal with the Iranians and Russians instead, so we decided to give him and his people the international equivalent of a punishment beating. The cold war is over? Pull the other one.

shagen454Thanks man,I replied.... I decided that I am going to move to the Sonoran desert, get away from Cali and focus on health, space and money
Ayahuasca/DMT definitely influenced that decision. SF/Bay Area/Santa Cruz/Silicon Valley... it's too unwieldy for me to deal with anymore. Shit, is out of control in terms of risk & cost of living.... 15 years, brah, I'm finally off into the wilderness... will be riding my bike across a seemingly infinite wasteland of beauty every day

San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
fuzzyundiesIt sounds like a bunch of Videosift regulars are from the SF bay area. I grew up in SJ, worked at NASA/Ames for a few years, had friends at Berkeley and IBM research and Cisco and Apple and... yeah, small world.
San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
newtboyAnd Solano. That's not how it's pronounced by locals either.
I disagree that it's forgiveable to call SF Silicon valley....it's not even IN a valley. Maybe it's OK to say it's in the Silicon Valley Area, but not in the valley proper.
I lived there in the 80's-90's (Palo Alto-Menlo Park), and the Santa Clara valley WAS Silicon valley back then. I can forgive the boundaries being stretched to neighboring counties, but they must actually be IN a VALLEY or I'm going to balk at calling them Silicon VALLEY. ;-)
Had to go back and listen closer this time. Hewlett he pronounces wrong, as its not the same as when you say Hewlett Packard. He gets Contra Costa wrong the first time and then right the second time. He also says San Jose funny and Palo Alto and Alameda (the second time) wrong.
San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
fuzzyundiesVery interesting (to probably nobody except me): this video sounds like it's narrated by a native, but I think it's not. He pronounces Marin County like "MAIR-in", but everyone I've ever met in and around the SF Bay Area says "mah-RIN". Like my mom who was born there. Also: "berk-eh-ley"? It's pronounced "berk-ley"!

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Star Wars Fans Are "Prickly"
ChaosEngineYou really do. Iain M. Banks was an amazing writer.
Excession is probably my favourite, along with Look To Windward and Use Of Weapons.
His non-sci-fi work is fantastic too, especially The Crow Road (any book that opens with the sentence "It was the day my grandmother exploded" is instantly brilliant IMO).
He was also a wonderful speaker. Listen to this (skip to 29:32 if you haven't read Use Of Weapons, it spoils the whole plot) http://www.theguardian.com/books/audio/2012/oct/12/iain-banks-book-club-podcast?fb_ref=Default. I love his analogy of writing fiction is like playing a piano and writing SF is like a massive pipe organ.
I really need to read more of the Culture series... I don't even recall the one I read very well... I just recall being a fan of the overall idea.
Converting Buses to Showers for the Homeless - San Francisco
shagen454Sweet... I don't want to be cold hearted but I will. This might be killing two birds with one stone. 1) being -private luxury crack smoking room. That's what's gonna happen... Maybe some showering... Doesn't matter to me though, the bums stink, the BART stinks, the whole downtown area of SF smells like a huge crack alcohol shit storm for being such an "affluent" city. I think this was well intended but I don't trust the "non-profits" around here especially in this "app" bubble. "Give me a huge grant because I have like the most astonishingly brilliant idea blah blah blah (pockets 25% of grant for outrageous rent costs)."
