Some dogs feel the need to piss on every hydrant.

Baller move. Yeah, don’t tell people things will be outside and then just construct a building in an outdoor space. That just makes it inside again! I’ve seen so many restaurants do this - offer outdoor space, then essentially build another building in the street with four walls and a ceiling. You just recreated…

I also heard her other cousin works for Nintendo and showed her how to unlock the nudeality in Mortal Kombat 2.

No, Revolution got cancelled a few years back.

Since you brought up cyclists, they do sit perfectly in the pecking order since they are always complaining that cars don’t respect them...while barreling along combination bike/walking paths at 30kph or blowing through stop signs and lights at crosswalks like those things don’t apply to them.

I’m also a runner, and run daily through the city, and I know exactly what you mean. I’ve learned that at intersections if there is a car, I make eye contact, make sure they see me before I cross, and if there is any doubt, I will go around and behind them.

That’s true and it is why I don’t listen to music while walking the dog - already too many things to pay attention to. But there’s plenty of blame to go around. As a frequent pedestrian I see plenty of drivers looking at their phones or barely slowing down for stop signs, right turns on red, or when entering/exiting…

As a city dweller too, I fear greatly for pedestrians, who I often see completely oblivious to what is going on...earbuds in ears, or gaze down toward phone. Had I not been looking out as a driver, there are easily a half dozen times where I would’ve hit someone, because they crossed against the light, or were…

As a lifetime city dweller myself, who navigates heavy street traffic as a pedestrian on a basically daily basis, I am curious to know how this happened. The thing about cement trucks, in real life (as opposed to movies, where heavy vehicles have been known to suddenly glide in from offscreen for a shocking death), is…

Honestly, it’d save you time to just read this instead...

Where would we have a recent example of a quasi-normal person rendered grotesque by decadence and amorality, though?

If you haven’t read Seveneves, now’s the time if you’re into hearing more about that.

That book was fun enough for what it was, and I really enjoy that later Neal Stephenson came along and said “you idiot, here’s what would actually happen if the Moon shattered, and it’s not a pretty picture.”

There’s no need to be that barbaric. Let him finish his dessert first.

I just want to see the moon chase a fighter jet through the grand canyon and then get punched in the face.

This trailer sucks

Seveneves could make for a pretty great limited series if:

At least this movie promises to deliver on its title, unlike that piece of crap Skyfall.

I’m a sucker for Roland Emmerich disaster movies no matter how dumb they are, and this looks to be super-dumb, so I’m into it.

The plot doesn’t look to be much like it, but did anyone ever figure out if this is an actual adaptation of the Jack McDevitt book “Moonfall”, or whether there’s going to be a fun lawsuit soon?
