I very rarely find a good middle ground with cars. Either they're too scared to go past me even when I'm stopped on the side of the road with one foot on the curb, or they want to blow past me straight away, no matter what else is happening around them.
From my observations, most bicyclists obey the law about as much as most car drivers: which is not very much.
A while ago we decided to form these things called 'societies' where we stopped letting the weak die and started helping each other. You might want to try it some time.
Also, I think you do use more government services than do they: you have more stuff that needs protection by the police and fire department, you are more mobile and so use the roads more than they do. You obviously have a good job, where you benefit from contract laws being enforced meaning you get paid. I hear Somalia is quite nice this time of year, though...
I've always though it was a bit shit that the price on the shelf is before tax. If it says $5, that should mean that I walk up to the register, the the person at the til a $5 bill and walk off with my shiny new product. I can't do that; I've gotta give $5.42 to the person at the till: fucking ridiculous.
Continuing with the next paragraph from that same source:
But crucially, Emmerson said, there was no lack of consent sufficient for the unlawful coercion allegation, because "after a while Assange asked what AA was doing and why she was squeezing her legs together. AA told him that she wanted him to put a condom on before he entered her. Assange let go of AA's arms and put on a condom which AA found her."
Women have always expected men to be mind-readers, but that doesn't constitute rape.
I have no mod points, so I'll give you a high-five instead.
When this does make it to a commercially available product he'll probably be back claiming how it's not really newsworthy, and tell us about how this article from a long time ago, and how it's all been done before./. just wouldn't be the same without the trolls.
The problem is the frequency with which they take out other drivers with them, so it doesn't really function as enough of a driving force for evolution to actually happen.
Look at my horse, my horse is amazing Give him a lick "Mmm, it tastes just like raisins" When you stroke on his mane he turns into a plane Then he turns back again when you tug on his winkie "Ooh, that's dirty" Do you think so? Then I'd better not show you where the lemonade is made!
This is reflected in the real wages and income distribution of the last 40 years or so. Adjusted for inflation, real wages have actually fallen by about ten percent since the 60s. We are being paid less for higher efficiency. At one point the top 1% of the population received roughly 15% of the national income. Now the top 1% receives 24%. One quarter of every dollar earned in the USA goes to the top 1% every year. In the 50s CEO's salaries averaged about 30x what their average employee made. Now the ratio is often several thousand times.
So massive gains in efficiency have been made. But those who enjoy the resulting gains are never those who are generating more work.
But that'll all trickle down to us... just give it some time.

But the problem with speaking Lojban, it that all your conversations are with people who know Lojban.
Persistent on this story, just in case you didn't see one of the above posts, don't click on the link in parent it's Goatse (or something similar,)
Troll warning: link in the above post is (probably) Goatse.
Kinda like Need for Speed 2, boasting an interactive 3d landscape, meaning that you could run into street signs and knock them over.
Oh... In that case I'd like to rescind my previous comment and offer the AC a high-five. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to brush up on history.
Wouldn't the 4H follow the 4G?
Great, now people in China can't read this story about China. Thanks a lot jack-ass!
That was an awesome explanation. Almost awesome enough to make me want to convert.
What about the dinosaurs that lived in the water?

Does the shell survive? Do those poor birds have to pass a shell? Doesn't it break? Does that injure the bird?
So many questions, if only I hadn't taken a solemn vow to never RTFA.

I usually just post a silly meme-based joke when I mis-moderate. Sometimes I even get karma for it!
If it doesn't matter it's a moot rock
Anything over 140 characters isn't worth reading is it?

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing
Give him a lick
"Mmm, it tastes just like raisins"
When you stroke on his mane he turns into a plane
Then he turns back again when you tug on his winkie
"Ooh, that's dirty"
Do you think so?
Then I'd better not show you where the lemonade is made!
You know, I've spent years thinking that they were actually the same person. Once again, /. has taught me my one thing for today.
Didn't Germany just recently plan to close down all their nuclear reactors after what happened at Fukushima?
You'll never have a perfect system, you'll always have some losses. Even if you can collect 99% of it for re-use, that 1% is still a lot of water.
and slam the CPU so hard your OCed Celeron 300A ran like a 286 trying to load Win98
Just imagine what it was like for those of us who were actually running Win98 on our 286s!
