mmm... I use a trailer. Home built, steel framed box extension on a Burley Cub. Twenty feet of bike & trailer with the turning circle of an oil tanker.
I live in a city suburb. Actually... probably strike the "suburb" bit.
Grocery store is on the same block. Major hospital with world-leading research facilities (CAT scanners, MRI, electron microscopes, portable defibrillators, you're welcome) is a mile and a half away. Nearest museum is a mile away. Nearest (chain) restaurant is 3/4 mile away. Nearest cineplex is a mile away. Nearest bowling alley is next door to the cineplex. Nearest (internationally renowned as in "Torville and Dean, the 2012/13/14 Challenge Cup winners and the TeamGB 2012 practice rink") ice centre is a mile up the road.
Only time I actually leave town is to go to another town to see somebody or the sticks to shoot bunnies.
Are three distinct tools that enable Google to lock in product. You read that right, the fact that you can type shit in to your Chromebook or fill in a webform or make a phone call or send an SMS text, are all secondary to the primary purpose of all such devices (both in hardware and in software): to lock in the input device (you) to the zero cost asset you provide for free to Google (your data) for them to profit on. You are not a customer, or a client, or even a user. YOU are PRODUCT. Were you anything else, even basic laptops would still cost over three grand. The paradigm shift between users and product can be measured as right around the time when the arse fell out of the hardware market. That's when retailers became service providers (cheap laptops, then you pay through the nose for software and extended warranties etc), hardware became subsidised and applications as a service got its foothold (think Microsoft Exchange, World of Warcraft, and the rise of Second Life)
I had a completely custom high-back executive chair with drop-on brackets for notebook, cup holder and trackball on the arms, fitted speakers (5 point surround)... the seat was so deep I often found myself waking up in it, and I never once kicked the laptop off.
When they talk about building a wind turbine, they talk about using the same amount of steel as it takes to build a family car (you know, something that costs around $30k and requires fuel). Why does the wind turbine cost twenty times that?? Because it doesn't benefit oil stockholders, that's why.
I think the IAU new definition of a planet includes the condition that it has cleared its orbital track of any other significant debris. Pluto hasn't, it has at least seven satellites and there are many other unconnected bodies sharing the same orbit (last I heard at least twelve, of significant size, at various and seemingly random angular separations)... ironically, this would disqualify Jupiter as well, since it is preceded and followed in its orbit by two clouds of debris (Trojan asteroids) which are located at or near the Lagrange points.
It becomes a contract when the offer is accepted. The offer is accepted on the understanding that the buyer is paying for something advertised which he thinks he's going to get, ie unlimited internet. Yes, it's deceptive if it then says in the terms of use that their definition of unlimited isn't the same as the dictionary's, but that should be made clear in the advertisement. If I pay for unlimited and I don't get what I paid for - UNLIMITED - through the demonstrable fault of the provider, then that's a breach of contract.
Hutchison 3G say "Unlimited", and I have it in writing that when Three customers pay on contract or prepay for an unlimited internet package, that is what they get: no throttling or capping, PERIOD. That's after I told the CSM that I was pulling down over 20GB a *day*. That's TWICE THE *MONTHLY* CAP OF BT.
no this is winding your governor down the more you drive, so if you drive 1 mile to work the governor is wide open and you can drive as fast as you like, but if you drive more than 20 miles the governor is wound to half so you're stuck at 40mph, if you somehow manage to drive more than 100 miles after that the governor is set to 90% which means you're stuck at 5mph for the rest of the day. Good luck getting home before tomorrow.
moving 250kg?? That's not even superhuman, back in my younger days I'd often find myself pushing broken cars off the road - some of those weighed over 2,000kg.
if you believe their frankly shoddy bookkeeping, Hollywood has been losing money hand over fist since it was founded. Maybe they're in the wrong fucking business, should get back to pure racketeering, Mr. Meyer??

uh... caffeine is sixty times more potent than cocaine. Read the literature.
how about just be a fucking parent??

Oh, my God, THIS!

3 yards long?? That's a shorter wheelbase than my bike!

it's all fun and games until someone blows up a planet.
neither has Jupiter. Zing.

why yes, you can have a quarter of a penny, since that's all I have.
pedant point: Javascript isn't a programming language, the clue is in the name: it's a SCRIPTING language.

1. incentive for customers to sue for breach of contract
2. incentive for customers to take their business elsewhere.
I have no sympathy for Verizon.

I can use one of these suits to kick the snot out of the 12-foot cockroach I got hiding in the wheel well of my hawg.
funnily enough it would be kind of a throwback to pre Long Knives, when American kids would throw the Bellamy at the flag as they pledged allegiance.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Dear EzinKy,
THANK YOU!

2 questions:
1. do they have to do the Bellamy?
2. do they get a ceremonial dagger?
