I agree also, but I think it's worth mentioning that sometimes you have to say things that are unpleasant to children to get their attention.
As someone who previously taught disturbed kids (I as well), you should know this. I'm not saying what she said was okay (I'm kind of indifferent, not my children after all), but there are definitely times when what seems inappropriate might just actually be the thing that catalyzes a child's turnaround.
Of course, this lady is a just a whiner, and these words don't appear to be those of a motivator.
So you rely on OnStar in the same way others rely on GPS? Letting yourself run out of gas in West Texas is kind of a dumb move, but I guess as long as you have that handy button there's nothing to worry about, right?
The problem with scientists and such is that they don't inspire communities. There's an intangible to be considered when a group of people in a certain community can rally around something entertaining and inspiring.
Or should we concentrate more on all the really evil things in the world. Sure athletes make a ton of money. Some of them pay the price.
Sounds like you aren't a welcome addition to whatever community you're a part of. I'm hoping the FBI has tabs on you,
Did my taxes on TurboTax.com today. It didn't support Chrome.
While I agree with you to an extent, sometimes there's simply no choice. I've been doing taxes with them for about five years now, and I'm not going to switch just because I can't be bothered to load FF. That's much less of an inconvenience than having my tax records strewn across multiple places.
The whole "we don't support Chrome" thing is annoying, yes, but not necessarily a sign of incompetence. TurboTax is one of the most solid websites I've ever used.
In 2001, I was living with a friend briefly and slept on a bed with one of those magnetized mattress top things. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not, but soon I began to dream quite vividly each night, often lucid, and my friend said it was the magnets.
I did some brief research and found information about the effects of magnets on the brain, specially Melatonin (if I remember correctly). I'm not sure if this stuff was fact or fiction, but the claims seemed logical.
I've been fishing nearly my whole life, and I have never once heard of cotton fly line. A quick search for someone that sells it is proving fruitless for me as well.
I'm curious, is this for fly line? Backing? Leader? Tippet?
I mean, I guess if it casts better, that's a plus, but what's the point? If you're spending more time respooling your reel every time you go fishing because of the deterioration of cotton line, how much time are you wasting standing on the bank instead of wading in the water?
Admittedly, I'm also a non-believer in the hopper-dropper methods. The extra time you take to rig up a dropper and all the attention required to make sure your line remains knot and tangle-free could be spent just floating a regular fly. My philosophy is to maximize the time I have a fly in the water. Anything (girlfriend, knots, wrong fly, crappy line, etc) that reduces the time my fly is in the water is something that is counter-productive to the act of angling.
It's an ethically interesting question. If the solution is as simple as building multi-story meat growing labs to save space, what happens if it is found out that eating this stuff gives you some kind of nano-enhanced synthetic cancer or something?
By that point, the world population is going to be quite a bit larger and even more difficult to feed through contemporary methods, meaning people will have to choose between dying of malnutrition or dying from mega-disease. And for what? Because it's responsible of us to treat our food animals ethically?
We could just forget the whole ethical treatment thing and figure out how to make giant multi-story real animal farms instead. Hell, plug them into the Matrix or something so they at least think they're just chillin' in some serene mountain meadow.
That said, this last part isn't for any of you, but for some person finding this post in a random search for "nano-enhanced synthetic cancer" decades or centuries from now. I warned them, don't blame me.
OT: but I wonder how much time gets wasted every day by people who don't link their... uh... links. I mean, I know it only takes a few clicks to copy+paste+go in the address bar of a new tab, but a few seconds extra times however many people do that every day... it's gotta be something. Not trying to rude or anything, just genuinely curious.
I totally agree, I'm just not sure cable systems like these are a good idea in non-industrial public spaces. I guess working as a lift operator a few times in my life has jaded my opinion of people's ability to sit on a chair and then get off at the top safely. It's amazing to me how difficult it is for some.
Egypt and Tunisia are two instances of people revolting for themselves. Past scenarios involve people that (for one reason or another) were too insecure in their ability to stand up for themselves.
When little Billy goes to school everyday and gets bullied and does nothing about it, sometimes others take it upon themselves to act on his behalf (whether welcomed or not). Once little Billy decides to kick the bully in nuts, things tend to change, albeit rather slowly and not without a long period of "things getting worse before they can get better."
The reason international peacekeeping forces should not get involved directly has nothing to do with "nation building not being our forte." Instead, it has everything to do with letting it just happen, and hopefully things work out well enough for Egypt that an example is set and repressed people around the world begin standing up for themselves for a change, NO MATTER WHAT THE PERSONAL RISK!!!
If you ever get a chance, I'd suggest checking out the motor room of a high speed ski chair lift if you can. The motors are definitely not small and generally have massive diesel backups as well.
And their temporary usage isn't that big of a deal. I'm sure there's a pretty solid market for used machines as well. Ski areas buy used lifts all the time.
1. Commuting from Sac to SF is absurd. If that is seriously you're commute, I feel sorry for you.
2. I remember the Carquinez Bridge having the toll booth on the northbound side of the bridge, so I'm assuming this is now changed and people can loop the Benecia bridge one way and the Carquinez the other and avoid tolls entirely.
They may be crossing two bridges to get there, but unless they're lost, they aren't going to be paying two tolls. Or do people commute from the Richmond area by going over the GG? Otherwise, I fail to see how you can pay two tolls going into SF.

There is only one type of football, and it's only played with your feet.
The term football was originally used to describe a number of different games that were played on foot.
You're telling me? My old Dakota had a faulty gauge. Never once did it cause me to run out of gas. That's what the trip odometer is for.
but it seems both were willin'.
Truckers don't love that song for just any reason. It's a lifestyle.

Sometimes I assume people understand my sarcasm without me explicitly saying it is sarcasm.
Also, evacuating a train's passengers to safety is as easy as getting off. Lift evacuation is incredibly time consuming and risky.

How do you propose making Afghanistan a "decent place"?
I'm also not sure who this "we" and "us" is that you are referring to.
Save your breath. Those people don't listen.
"Everybody" is a lot of people. I think you are misinformed.
