Abi @ 50: I'll have to poke around and see what there is here in the hinterlands of Long Island (although I can probably just mail-order one).
Patrick @ 52: I've found that most bike shops out here are pretty good in terms of pleasantness and service, even for casual cyclists. I'm glad to see that NYC is the same! And thanks for the bag recommendation
Mmm...laptop pannier! I need to get one of those, I think. I'm onsite (in Atlanta, these days) most of the week, but I go to my own office on Fridays and it's only about 13 km
I think that the "We don't expect perfection, we expect compliance" really says it all. This school doesn't appear to be looking for people who can think independently.
I feel sorry for the kids there.
Abi, this is bloody brilliant
John @ 12: May I quote you on that?
Prime numbers are good. Prime rib is better.
Yum.
And, for that matter, dealing with a handicap or prejudice, Cordwainer Smith's Norstrilia
For those who feel alone in a hostile world, surely Van Vogt's Slan is approprate.
But if Coleman concedes, does Pawlenty have to certify it anyway? It might be an easy out for him.
Bruce @ 78: Running shoes. All you have to do is be faster than the spam.
Werewolf?
There wolf, there castle.
If you dance on swings, you're liable to fall off and get hurt!
albatross@38: I think a large part of that is the "I got mine, now screw you" attitude that one comes across a fair bit.
I have the "taxes" argument with people I know on a semi-regular basis. Me, I don't mind paying 'em if they make the world, and especially the part I'm living in, a better place. They tend to object to the government spending their money on (typically) housing and health care for people who have less.
Oddly, they rarely complain about tax monies being used for military purposes...
Lydy@16: I'd do much the same thing, except I'd probably try and call them then and there (cell phones are useful, after all)
Or I'd try and find the Lost and Found.
Whyever would I go up to a cop who's just going to direct me to the Lost and Found anyway?
How long before the wingnut spin machine starts blaming Hillary for this?
I expect about as long as it takes for Sean Hannity to get on the air this evening.
