Prussian Blue (Lamb and Lynx Gaedes) is the worst singing I've ever heard, and this comes from someone who's listened to a lot of modern mainstream pop. their racist mother forced them into it, so there's a lack of enthusiasm there.
Skrewdriver is a classic of the genre, alright classic punk sound. Battlecry, more recent, sounds kinda like classic metal. Also, not White Supremacist, but those Westboro Baptist Church folks put out some interesting fundamentalist-themed song parodies
Even if the music is alright from a technical/artistic perspective, I avoid listening to it because I don't want those ideas getting stuck in my head.
I'm not a Christian, but my music collection contains some stuff with Christian themes
Bob Dylan had a born-again phase, with three such albums. I like the Slow Train Coming and Saved albums; I haven't listened to Shot Of Love. Johnny Cash was a devout believer his entire life and often involved this material, but I don't have any whole albums of it. Sometimes it was originals, sometimes it was gospel classics. Life's Railway To Heaven seemed particularly fitting for him, since he also did a lot of train songs.
Some other acts touched on it less obviously or less often, giving me a few other examples here and there.
PS Katy Perry did that stuff before getting into pop, but I have the "Katy Hudson" album and feel it's profoundly mediocre
the last couple times I went to the theater, I went at odd times where there wasn't much of a crowd. They sounded good from reviews and actually were - action movies with cool FX but plenty of other elements. and don't forget smuggling in munchies (I did bulk candy poured into empty prescription containers) I did remember to put my own phone on vibrate.
The Hunger Games and The Avengers, FYI. Battleship I didn't see because the reviews sounded mediocre.
That was my first thought, kinda. The astronauts go in understanding the risk. Especially since many of them are/were cutting-edge military aviation personnel.
Also US, also have that problem. (as I said in another comment, I sometimes adjust walking or driving directions, chiefly to adjust the time estimates to bicycle speed) I often ride in the shoulder if possible, so it matters whether the road has one, how wide it is and how clear it is. I don't think bike directions account for this.
US here...I sometimes adapt the car and walking directions, mainly adjusting the time estimates for bicycle speed. Sometimes it doesn't think I can bike where I actually can, sometimes I just don't bother putting the map into bike mode.
Boston has a ridiculous street layout, probably a side effect of growing organically hundreds of years before cars. I wonder why cities with a good subway system have car traffic issues. (subway doesn't have the practical traffic issues or mental 'poor people only' issues that buses have) DC has planned grid streets and some of the same problems.
US zipcodes start out low in the Northeast (02115 in Boston for example) and get higher as you go south and/or west. So a 9-something zipcode is somewhere on the west coast.
90210 in particular comes to mind because of the Beverly Hills TV show.
seems like the same set of rules that each state can choose to abide or not abide by.
The only parts of Article 1 Section 9 that seem remotely in context, I don't see how they directly apply here. Were you thinking of something else?
"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State. No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."
I knew there was a lot of Mormon involvement in the BSA, and it had to do with the anti-homosexual and anti-skeptic policies. However, I had no idea it supposedly went this far.

"If you don't bother to read your emails, why should I?"
yeah, when I read the full faith and credit clause, marriage recognition is one of the first thing that comes to mind.
a shouldn't mess with nature/God/et cetera attitude?
I did read LOTR years ago. maybe it would go over better with me now.
Tried to read LOTR book 1 but got bored during the initial 100 pages.
Me too - I feel LOTR (both books and movies) is a suitably epic storyline, but too dense in its implementation.
this goes for the Hunger Games crew - the shakeycam was one of my few issues with that movie

aren't a lot of astronauts test pilots form cutting-edge military aviation?

I did put that in the subject line.
probably shouldn't have used the subject line as the the start of the message.
Anyway, Dr. Demento is heavily associated with that kind of music from being such a prominent DJ of it.
oldschool Dr. Demento points for you, good sir.
in the US that overload only seems to happen with large special events (going to/from Fenway on Red Sox game day for example)
in many mass transit systems (including DC and Boston) it can be hard to get to/from the suburbs even if the system works well within the main city
well, once I heard Inman's side of the story, better way to put it than "when the story broke"
Oatmeal (both the food type and the webcomic) is good stuff; I was on Inman's side as soon as the story broke

12345 is a valid zipcode, that's what the AC is referring to.
sometimes I use '90210' as a placeholder.

I understand, another side to the harm of this policy, which I somewhat referred to.
