it kinda fell into bucket 2, and i haven't contributed to a project in a while now. bulk discount definitely there, timeline blown the hell away, but the product was solid, and i mean that literally, i think i could brain someone with that flashlight and it would still work. software was kinda meh, but still a solid product.
i'd probably make due by asking the hotel receptionist for an adaptor. wall plugs there don't fit my devices. shape or voltage.
i don't remember running out of power over the course of 20 some odd days and 4 cities, or being terribly lost when i was in china. And no, i don't even charge my phone at in the states unless i'm 80 percent confident nobody would object... which typically means if i see signage around an outlet, i'd most likely look for another.
you're a bit of a dick aren't you? and i'm done with this thread.
... if i'm not mistaken, part of the problem that feminism is trying to rectify is that historically women have been largely relegated to the role of "prize" for male contestants... so to speak. Is this not true?
does it not track that we are mammalian? does it not track that we are cordates, does it not track that evolutionary competition for the majority of species with two sexes has two males compete in some way for breeding rights with a single female, or for a group of females?
i am all for feminism, but really, it's all getting a bit shrill. Blue is still blue, green is still green. It does very little service to anybody to try to say they aren't.
the immigrant or tourist agreed implicitly to follow the rules of the country they are moving too/visiting.
let not the perfect be the enemy of the good.
100 percent coverage is nigh impossible in the majority of instances. So we should do away with all laws in general.
the exceptions to the rules...
you might as well say, you shouldn't use signs to state policy because blind people can't see them. and they might miss them for trying to braille them out in the wrong spot on the wall...
"i didn't see the sign officer","it was right above the outlet", "yes, but you see, i looked directly at the outlet so i missed the sign"
and the monetary value is of less importance than the lack of consent.
i don't want people touching my things without my consent, i don't want someone waiting there for 15 minutes on my porch, i don't want them thinking that's correct behavior.
you should people off the street use your restroom too. after all, water is cheap too.
i've been speeding 7 mph over, and been pulled over, thought it was stupid, and the guy let me go with only "you should know better," but if he gave me a ticket i would have accepted it, because I was over the speed limit.
:) ignorance of the rules is not always a defense for breaking them.
you live in a country that provides public education in the english language, if you are illiterate it is kind of on you. if you're an immigrant, the implicit understanding is that you are literate enough to operate in the country.
i'd imagine the distribution is probably more like, 3 percent reverse, 25 percent left, 17 percent right and 55 percent forward (including stuff like lane switches etc.)
at least where i am, google still has vastly superior traffic information though. super detailed and super accurate.
where apple maps will have minor congestion, google maps will have minor congestion with a segment of major congestion near a traffic light. which is mighty useful when knowing when exactly you need to take a detour.

my first contribution was to the hexbright.

:) saw that, was thinking of kicking in for a friend at one point.
i've kicked into 7-8 kickstarters now, probably nowhere near what many have, but all have been moderately successful.
i've also kicked in with the understanding that it'd be nice if they succeed, but there's no guarantee.
and if people like me don't kick in, this product that i think is neato may never get made.
Timelines have been blown, but all my "purchases" have been good. Even if i used them less than i thought i would, it's no fault of the campaign.

fuck particle physics, fuck cancer.
this is what all science everywhere should be doing.
making more things taste like bacon.
the only worthy goal in life.

yeah, they're not going to go after the slow-moving blob of lunch that basically can't resist.
well you know...

is a pretty fucking serious offense here.
was he stealing electricity?
were they supposed to arrest him?
i think both those answers were yes.

... yes throw the fucker in a gas chamber.
wait, was that not what the end result of this is?
wait... was i making an flagrantly hyperbolic comparison?
apparently there are signs that literally say "don't use"
yeah, i think you're in the minority here.

wouldn't that be like trying to piss off the empire state building to hit a single passing vehicle?
going in reverse in NY is pretty rare...

someone rate this coward insightful.
damn, that's like... all the politicians doing it it's it?
do you use something other than google maps?
i don't, and have never felt the need to.
1/4 left, 1/4 right, 1/4 forward and 1/4 backwards....
the backwards really has me intrigued.
i'm assuming most accidents aren't fatal. 20 people dead, 200 injured would be less acceptable for instance.
"dumbest reasoning ever" seems to imply his reasoning is incorrect. i'd like to see him pointing out where.
you know how nicely strategically positioned hawaii is in the pacific?
hawaii was never going to be independent.
Just a question of whose thumb.
:) you're anonymous i see.
strength of convictions and all.
