Anecdotal, but I heard from an architect relative that this resulted in some federal building construction problems because the contractors still work(ed) in imperial and would convert the architects' metric plans from metric to imperial. I'm all for metric, but if there is to be a real conversion it needs to be to one system only. And didn't NASA have some imperial/metric problems with space shuttle parts? I grew up with metric and a little exposure to imperial but when I moved to the US I had to learn the imperial system properly. It seemed so backward to me to have to do so!
Sorry, I'm not convinced by your rant. Doubtless there are good cops and even good teachers for that matter, but they are few and far between. Capitalization does NOT make your case more convincing.
Seems to me that this culture of amorality stems directly from Murdoch himself. I would dearly love to see that man convicted of crimes against humanity. The reporters surely are the small fry and now the scape goats. On whose orders did they conduct the hacking of the voicemail?
I don't understand why so many have been so dismissive of this record store day and in particular vinyl. My iPod stopped working lastnight. Maybe it is fixable, maybe not but I'm not in a panic of 'oh noes, I can haz NO music'. I have a couple of hundred vinyl albums that will keep me going until I figure out the technical issue with the iPod. So I don't have access to the 11,000+ tunes that are or were on the iPod but it's not the end of the world. And if there is no electricity I'll just play my acoustic guitar. And if all the strings should break I'll just bang some sticks and rocks together. It's all music and the medium really doesn't matter that much. Disclosure: I am an independent musician and producer. See sig.
That, sir, sounds like a grand day out. A lot of people commenting here seem to be missing the point completely, focusing only on the material aspects and ignoring the experience. Not surprising really!
I disagree vehemently. What you say may be true in some cases, but I still miss Jammyland in NYC for their great reggae and dub selection and the opportunity to just bump into legendary recording artists stopping in to deliver their new releases or pick up a payment. Browse and listen to tunes at high volume, hang out and chat. There is/was a lot of value in that. It's the misplaced elitism of some stores that ruins it.

They do make Erector sets still. My son has one. Also it is Lego not Legos. You don't add an 's' to make it plural.
miscommunication of dimensions can result in a decidedly diminutive relica of Stonehenge.

Give it time. They'll copy the iPad and make it brown. It will be distinctive.
So there are only 6,000 unemployed people in Florida? Not much of an unemployment problem if you ask me!
it is actually 'harebrained'. Really.
I'm only partly joking.
For a second there I thought 'Chingers' was a quaint, dorky expression similar to 'jeepers' or 'yikes!'
Now that I read your comment again it appears to me that you are in fact a turdtard. Let 'turdtard' be introduced to the lexicon of idiocy forthwith.
Experience.

Might I suggest Béchamel sauce for texture?

Exactly. Some people know so little it is astounding.
Pencils are obsolete. Ban them! I am going to put a record on now because my iPod suddenly stopped working. See what I mean?
Correct. See sig.
And 'mainstream' is a good thing? Enjoy your Lady Gaga. I don't care about 'mainstream customers' - perhaps these stores don't either.
It is most likely that the independent stores promote independent music not controlled by the RIAA, so I suggest that your comment is redundant.
This is awesome! Thanks. Sounds like Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic workshop.

Whooosh!
Ignore them.
