  1. Re:Expensive Middle Class Sport Losing Patrons on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 1

    What is with the clothes the bikers wear?

    Do some 40-mile rides. You'll figure it out. New riders don't understand it at first, of course, and swear they won't become one of those spandex cyclists. Once they start doing longer rides, the light comes on and they figure out why those cotton cargo shorts won't cut it anymore. Happens all the time.

    P.S. Cycling clothing doesn't cost $700. It can but, for almost everybody who doesn't buy Rapha, that's not what it costs by a long shot.

    And after you've bought the equipment, it's free.

    You're kidding, right? Chains cost. Cables cost. Cassettes do wear out. Bar tape, lube, tubes, tires, and CO2. Even clothes, sunglasses, and helmets wear out. I love seeing how little I can spend on cycling (I make my own drinks and snacks) but "free"? Nah.

    All you have to do is remember what two well armed guys in Hollywood pulled off during a bank heist.

    Huh? Two well-armed guys in North Hollywood didn't go up against the U.S. Army. They were up against patrolmen armed with handguns. Yeah, they did fine until SWAT showed up, and SWAT still isn't the U.S. Army.

    At this point, two years ago, any reasonable person would say that Eich (a) was divisive and (b) lacked judgement.

    A reasonable person could also say that Eich had a different opinion than you. THAT is what you don't get. To you, there is only black and white. Lest you forget, Prop 8 passed. It wouldn't pass today because, since then, some people have changed their minds. That's not good enough for you, though. For you, once a Prop 8 supporter, always a dirtbag. Have fun digging into the past of your friends because I guarantee you that you're going to find something distasteful (to you) in almost every one of them. Getting rid of all those dirtbags should be a very cathartic experience. Then, enjoy your new, solitary life.

    You didn't really just use a Wikipedia page as a definitive list of earthquakes in California, did you? For starters, people are really inconsistent about what quakes they're adding. I mean, really, people are adding 4.1 quakes to that list. I did a quick check and found a 6.0 from 1993 that was missing from the list (it is missing no longer).

    Somehow... birth control (which was already widely available prior to Obamacare) is now a civil right to receive for free and from your employer.

    No. A couple of businesses want to be exempted from part of a federal law because they claim their religion forbids it. Birth control being a civil right isn't even remotely the issue.

  23. Re:Innovation? on Apple Launches CarPlay At Geneva Show · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm a little disappointed with Apple's system. First, it's not wireless, and second, it doesn't give me the ability to see arbitrary apps on my display. I sometimes drive up to 500 miles for projects and its nice to be able to look at a radar map if the sky turns dark or the weather is bad.

    The impression I get is that Apple wants you looking at their apps as little as possible since you should be looking at the road as much as possible while driving. Given that, it's not surprising that they are limiting the apps in CarPlay. One can easily imagine a lawsuit when someone crashes into the back of another vehicle because the driver was looking at a radar map instead of the car that he/she was about to slam into.
