Tangential but also relevant; I worked in a larger construction company until a year ago and it was multi state. Imagine my surprise when word spread that the FBI was looking for an employee in another department regarding 1/6. Before Jan 6 he had been filmed jumping up on a table at the local Costco with a megaphone and spewing filth.
There are always signs.
Thanks on both counts :D
Also appreciate the extra info on the Tokyo parks, it’s been a few years since I worked there and just remembered they didn’t own it out-right.
I took a lot of pride in the work I put out while working at the Cali parks; but I don’t doubt it was a completely different atmosphere. We’d get quite a few guests from Japan via the Pacific and they were always a pleasure to be around. For better and for worse the American guests were a lot more casual (and to my chagrin the cast as well) so depending on the group I could tailor spiels. We ran a slightly loose ship, but if you knew how the system worked, you could make magic happen.
I worry it might be in bad taste to reference the major earthquake that they had to deal with, but that’s when I truly saw how phenomenal a response could be. We get trained on disaster scenarios but all I had dealt with was a 5M. Haven’t been yet, but that park will always have my respect.
Love the pics and the write up! I worked the Red Car Trolleys at Disney California Adventure and always wanted to visit DisneySea. Fun fact, when you work at Disney you could visit any park (and use your sign-ins) EXCEPT the Tokyo parks. My understanding is that it’s the only parks that Disney doesn’t actually own the land it’s built upon.
The Red Cars at DCA were a funny beast as the overhead catenary cable was purely for show. Both of the trolleys ran on boat batteries daisy chained together that would wirelessly charge at one of the stations and in the barn. That caused quite a bit of downtime due to one of the batteries failing and taking the whole daisy chain down. I got to know the mechanics pretty well working there haha. The attraction went down for a refurb a few years back and ideally they’d have switched out that particular system. We were considered a ‘Red Triangle’ (hazard pay) because we were the only attraction that had its ride path open to guests in DCA. We’d only go 4mph max, but you felt the jolt if the deadman’s switch went off at full speed haha.
The two trolley’s were both based off of the Pacific Electric line and their numbers were significant dates; 623 (called Veronica among the cast) was June 1923 - the year Walt Disney came to California and has a slightly more sedate color scheme being modeled after an older line. 717 - is July 17th, 1955 for the opening day of Disneyland. The original 717 is also still in operation at the Southern California Railway Museum and was used in the filming of Who Framed Roger Rabbit!
Edit; I only just now realized this was a community for Japanese vehicles specifically. Apologies! I thought this was the more general Trains/Trolleys/Trams community
My boi has the sitting and standing down, just one more to go!
I’m always for shitting on TERFs, but I have no idea what this meme is about. Probably because I try my best to keep ‘anti-woke’ things out of my orb. Can someone please get me in on this joke that I desperately want to be a part of haha
Honestly the pinnacle of flattery, thank you!
You’re absolutely amazing! Any team you fancy? I’d like to keep my tradition of following the team of the person who introduces me to the sport haha.
I’d think that as well, except anything targeted at my number uses the wrong name when they include names. Sometimes male, and sometimes female; which is interesting as I’ve kept the same number for more than a couple decades.
I’m not upset about being called ‘he’, but I would ask you to continue your use of ‘OP’ instead of it. While I’m not offended, the default assumption of someone being a guy only makes it harder for women’s voices to be heard.
Really appreciate the links! Always enjoy learning new things and you’ve provided a great starting point.
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this had happened and read it all with a smile on my face. We watch a lot of baseball in the house, but now I’m keen to see cricket at the Olympics
I keep coming back to Skyrim VR. Great mod options that make it far more playable than base VR. That and Walkabout are the two VR games I’ve really sunk time into
Got 9 in one day. If they include a name it’s never mine
bbno$, Doja Cat, and Helen Mirren. All in my DMs
I thought the same when I was using 2% milk. Whole milk rocked my world. It still makes it soggy, but I just see it as a challenge.
I ask you thee these questions three; ere the other side you see
Even Jason figured out we’re in the bad place
I have an older Ryzen and had no problems with FD until recently. I’m not doubting your personal rig has issues likely tied to this faulty chip, it’s probably also being made worse by their servers.
I only used AltStore for Delta and that has been approved
Becomes de facto leader of a gang of fellow abductees and definitely got paired with a fire type. The goggle-heads always do.
I started looking for confirmation a bit ago and really appreciate your source. A search for ‘Merchant Mariner Ship ruh roh’ led me to the El Faro, but no articles contained the actual quote. On my phone browser it was quoted on 339, just as a heads up for anyone else.
