6/20 I am on travel for work in Santa Clara from LA. I haven't actually
spent time down here (as opposed to Berkeley/SF) in about 12 years.
I have some questions and observations:
1. Why do people drive so slow here? The freeway is wide open and
people still go 65 in general.
\_ It's the cultural thing. In other countries, you can get
onto a freeway and take your sweet time to get to the cruising
speed in 20 seconds and no one is going to complain.
\_ On average people in LA drive a lot longer per commute than
people in N Cal. LA is much bigger with much more suburbs and
the highways are much more congested, so people tend to drive
in a way that minimized their time in traffic (as fast as
possible). Secondly LA has a Hummer/SUV/49er/I-love-foot-ball/my
bling bling is bigger/better/faster than you culture and people
have a tendency to drive a bit above speed limit (80-85 over the
70mph limit) vs. N Cal where they're driving at the speed limit.
In the end, time is money, and people will do what they can to
save time.
\_ Like none of this is true in the bay area? Riiiiiight.
\_ Sometimes a Prius ends up in the fast lane.
\_ Probably because it's not rush hour, and those that need to rush
to work usually drive during rush hour.
\_ I moved recently from SF to LA. I think it's more that people
in LA drive so fast and aggressively and have no patience.
This is the West Coast - we're all supposed to be laid back
I thought.
\_ Maybe, but if the lanes are open then why not go 80-85?
\_ If your average commute is only 15-25min a day (typical
Bay Area commute), the time savings between 65 and 85 is
minimal (with local traffic dominating your commute time).
So people just don't rush the way they do in LA. On the
other hand if you live in shitty suburbs like Riverside,
Azusa, Ontario, and the rest of the Inland Empire where
you need to spend 2-4 hours a day on shitty highways like
605 210 110 5 101 405 while you inhale dirty LA smog, then
yes, there is a lot more incentive to buy a nice comfy
luxurious car and try to go 80-85 when it is possible to
do so.
\_ They *do* go 85 here. Which freeways have you been
driving where they drive slower when there's open
road?
\_ 101 and 280 so far.
\_ People driving slow on 280? Damn last time
I was on 280 I was driving 85 and I was
the slowest car on the road.
\_ Dunno what to tell you. I have yet to be
passed by anyone the entire time I have
been here on any road.
\_ and I'm sure you have a large penis
\_ Not that I drive crazy fast. Everyone
else is just stuck at the speed limit.
Unheard of.
\_ Lots of cops.
\_ People here have a higher interest in perserving their
lives.
\_ Just because somebody *can* do something, it doesn't mean
they will or should do it. I'm finding the mentality of LA
drivers annoying.
\_ I have no idea where you're all getting the idea that LA
drivers are one iota different than SF Bay Area drivers.
\_ oh, I dont know, maybe it has something to do with the SPEED
LIMIT?
\_ What's that? It's annoying. Today everyone was doing 40
on the expressway. I looked at the sign. Yep. 40 was the
speed limit. WTF is wrong with people here? Does going
45 scare you?
2. What is that nasty smell? I thought it was my hotel, but I figured
out it's the air. Is it the Bay? It smells like warm, stale,
salty air. If it's the Bay, then why doesn't say, Marin smell
like this? Is there some sort of plant nearby? I can't stand it.
\_ Millions of unshowered people.
\_ No, seriously. There is a foul stench in the air. Surely
I am not the only one to notice this.
\_ Where? There are garbage dumps, salt ponds, and a couple
sewage facilities along the bay. Some parts of Milpitas
smell really bad.
\_ salt flats, they can smell really nasty if you're downwind of
them.
\_ It is pretty amusing that someone from the Inland Empire is
complaining about Bay Area air quality.
\_ 1. I'm not from the IE.
2. Nowhere in LA smells bad like this unless there's
some sort of industry nearby. It permeates everything.
3. Where is everyone? With about 100 Fortune 1000 companies nearby,
I expected to see a lot of hustle and bustle in the mornings.
It's like a ghost town. This is true for Mountain View, San
Jose, and so on. Not just Santa Clara. Lots of massive office
parks and not a person to be seen. Even the highways are
relatively empty.
\_ Everyone got laid off in 2001. Anyone who didn't now does the
work of 4 people.
\_ Which freeway were you on? There are tons of people on 85.
101 also clogs up beginning in the afternoon. There are tons
of people at certain hotspots... like Valley Fair/Santana Row
or Mtn View Castro St. There are a lot of dumpy areas that
nobody wants to hang around in.
\_ You should be used to this, coming from LA. Everyone gets
in their cars, drives to their destination, which is behind
a wall or smokey glass, then drives to their next destination.
There is no public space. If you want to see people, go to
the mall. This is just like LA, btw, except for the beach.
Welcome to the suburbs, where you don't have to interact
with anyone who is not exactly like you!
4. One more: Why does Live105 play almost exactly the same music
they did 12 years ago? I've listened to a few hours' worth at
various times of day and it's not that the music is bad, but
I'd say that only about 1/8 songs is actually newer than 5
years old. The DJs are hideous, BTW.
\_ Does LA have good radio stations? They have always been
shit and always play the same limited genres ad nauseum.
\_ No, LA has bad radio statons except for KKJZ. However,
they do play music from year 2006 and 2007. I appreciate
LA radio a lot more now.
\_ BTW, today's big ticket giveaways were Bob Saget
and NASCAR. On Live105. That is very scary.
\_ Bob Saget is actually pretty hilarious when he's not on
some family show like AFV or Full House. His bit in
The Aristocrats was the best.
\_ Yeah, yeah. He's foul-mouthed. How about tickets
to, I dunno, a show?
\_ Live 105 is owned by CBS, thus is incapable of innovation. -tom
\_ Zombies. They took over the radio stations years ago but no one
noticed. |

6/20 Clint Eastwood's twin Iwo Jima movies triggered island name change.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070620/ap_on_re_as/japan_iwo_jima
\_ Of course, the proper romanji is "ioutou" or "ioujima." Can't
they get anything right?
\_ more like they are reverting it to original name, and Iwo Jima
was just a mistaken name brought about in WWII that stuck.
\_ I find it intersting that with all the fuss over the Iraq war losses
they are about just over half what the US lost just in the battle
of Iwo Jima.
\_ I find it interesting that you confuse an asymentrical war
of choice entered on false principles and no exit strategy
with a provoked war involving several major powers.
\_ Exit strategy? War has only one exit strategy: kill the
enemy until they stop fighting back.
\_ yeah, and those 200K dead Iraqis are just a rounding error.
\_ what we see reported daily is the 3000-odd US deaths. If the
Iraqi casualties are reported, its usualy an afterthought.
\_ if we are doing this right, US casualties is about
20,000. Consider that we only got less than 120,000
troops, US casualty rate is a bit high.
\_ We don't count Germans and Japanese when we talk about WWII
losses, either.
\_ WWII was not an asymmetrical war. -tom
\_ Well, it sort of was -- The USSR suffered something like
9 million military casualties and 16 million civilian
casualties, but the were on our side.
\_ Asymmetric warfare refers to the power of the actors,
not the number of civilian casualites. -tom
\_ USSR utilized asymmetric warfare tricks in
territories conquered by the Germans by using
'partisans.'
\_ You think the 'actors' were equally powered? Yes,
that is why Polish troops charged German tanks on
horses with lances. Read a book some time.
\_ If Germany was so much more powerful than the Soviet
Union, why did they lose the war?
\_ If Germany was so much more powerful than the
Soviet Union, why did they lose the war?
\_ Hitler was a bad general, the Germans were
fighting on multiple fronts, the US had
a huge industrial base and was effectively
immune from attack, the Russians destroyed
everything as they retreated, the Russians
were able to use&build industrial capacity
in the far east well out of German range
and ship weapons, etc to the front on
trains. Is that enough reasons?
\_ They did no such thing. This was a "ha ha
stupid Polacks" propaganda story in Germany
after the 18th Uhlans demolished a German
infantry concentration at Krojarty. They
retreated when German tanks moved up. Read a
book some time. -John
\_ Sounds like you got that from the unsourced
wikipedia article. Got a URL?
\_ Actually, no. There was a good
description with sources on one of the
military history boards I read If you
are interested, contact me and I will dig
it up when I have a moment. -John
\_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Krojanty
\_ Ahem: "This article does not cite any
references or sources. Please help improve
this article by adding citations to

Any material not supported by sources may

This article has been tagged since March

writing my own article saying it was
Martians on magic brooms who followed their
noble leader, Elvis, a Great Warrior from
the future, into battle to defeat the
Nazis.
\_ OK, where's your reference for
the Polish charging tanks with
lances?
\_ Lots of reasons. My theory is the Germans
eventually fell to the power of the Russian
Human Wave Attack, and the industrial output
of the United States was able to prop up and fuel
the Russians so they could concentrate on more
important things like flinging themselves into
battle with the Germans. Thanks, Russian people!
You rule. The Brits helped a little, the French
were too dazed from WW1, and I dunno what Italy
was doing but trying to pave Ethiopia.
\_ Watch some History Channel. More powerful
does not always win. See American War for
Independence.
\_ Lots of people seem to underestimate USSR's
industrial output, as did Hitler. USSR got
a lot of US stuff but even at the war's start
they had a huge number of tanks for example.
\_ T-34!!!
\_ US industry and fuel helped, but not as much as
the Americans would like to believe. Personally,
I think the biggest turning point in the war was
when the Soviet leadership decided to actually
fight, move everything beyond the Urals, etc.
Western non-involvement would have pushed
the storming of Berlin off by a year or two.
Germany was fighting a hopeless war in the East.
A modern industrialized nation in the 21st
century can't seem to be able to pacify a country
many times smaller than USSR. What hope did
Germany have? Especially after they started
shooting civilians, and antagonized the native
population even more (!?) than Stalin himself.
-- ilyas
\_ If they had ignored Stalingrad and gone after
Moscow, and not been diverted to Greece
earlier in the year, I think they could have
broken the Soviet government. They didn't
want to occupy all of it anyway, just annex
a big chunk of lebensraum. Still kind of a
long shot. And Germany losing the air war
in the west was critical.
I think small groups of people today have
better ways of terrorism than was
available in the 40's. Iraq is also a
limited case: the US does not take ruthless
measures against the population. Hitler
could have forcefully expelled huge numbers
of people to alleviate these kinds of
problems. Finland etc. would have managed
their own zones as well.
Also, I don't think the Russians were as
suicidally zealous as Islamic militants.
\_ So there you have it. The Greeks won
WW II by beating back the Italians. It is
pretty much what the Greeks have always
claimed. Glad to see someone
acknowledge it! --dim (Greek)
\_ As a Greek I implore you to not claim
yourself as a Greek, ever, again.
The last thing we need is a dim-
witted guy who claims to be a Greek
\_ Napoleon took Moscow. So what? You can't
win a war against Russia really, if Russia
still has the will to fight. Germany
simply had no way to control the sheer
territory involved. Even in the
occupied parts of Russia, there were
huge parts where German soldiers simply
dared not go. -- ilyas
\_ Hmm. They "won" in WW1, sort of. They
had a good chance at defeating the
main military forces, if they acted
fast enough. Controlling the actual
land wouldn't be important except for
supply lines...
Look what happened to millions of
Germans after the war, and what was
happening to Poland, and most of the
Palestinians. It's not like Iraq
where you can't tell who's who and
anybody might blow you up with a bomb
made out of consumer electronics.
\_ Germans got favorable terms vs.
Russia in WW1 because Lenin thought
it was prudent to get out of the war
to consolidate power. The leadership
didn't have the will to fight since
they had bigger fish to try -- it
took a quite extraordinary period
of history for Germany to walk
of history for a country to walk
away from a 'land war in Asia'.
Russia did employ 'terrorist
methods' extensively vs the Germans
in WWII. It was a very effective
tactic due to the differences in
technology, manpower, and land
sizes involved. -- ilyas
sizes involved. Additional food
for thought: I heard that the two
worst winters on record in Russia
happened in 1812 and 1943. -- ilyas
\_ I wish there was a HD version of the history channel. I think
the bbc has 'THE WORLD AT WAR'? maybe i'll go buy it. love
the war. love the MAIL CALL. I heard the mail call say
that our b52 bombings convinced the north vietnamese to sue
for peace.... i think it was actually a secret message from
Mao that did that. I'm too apathetic to write them a letter
and complain. |
