The lead bus is much less equipped to skip a stop if it has more passengers, because there's a greater chance of a passenger needing to stop to disembark. In Chicago, you will see a trailing bus skip but it can do so because the drive

Yeah, it's great stuff so far. I wish I'd known that years ago. Only thing that ever got air play was the other side.

Huh. Was bracing for something like "come to daddy" when I hit play. Didn't realize Aphex Twin did anything else.

If there's a shred of truth to the story, I can only see two scenarios. 1 - The hiring manager had to put in a lot of effort budget-wise to make the flying in happen and when he found out it was more of a complete failure than a rubber

I honestly don't believe it either. It's the perfect mix of "this is terrible and totally happened to me" and "I'm afraid to say who". If this happened to me I would absolutely start my first sentence wi

I can beat that one :) My car was stolen in 2001. I lived on the north side, off of the lake (Uptown - not the best, but not the worst part of the city). I reported it stolen. In 2002 I got a parking ticket by mail from the far west side

Compared to someone who leaves their home by car once per day to get routine items, it's arguably a lot better since that delivery truck makes hundreds of deliveries per round trip. Compared to someone who is super frugal, list driven,

Have you tried playing Warhammer? Eat up that 8 mil real fast ;) In seriousness though, I think changing that "no real hobbies" statement is the way to go. Find something not work you enjoy doing, or if it turns out work is real

As a 20 year smoker who's only been free for about 5 years, ban all of forms of nicotine for sale. For about a week or 2 people will freak out and try to find ways around it and then everyone will realize that it's not that hard.

When my father quit for periods of time, he would always start up again on menthols because the volume he smoked hurt too much with his Marlboro reds, and he said the menthols made it easier. Yes, it is that addictive that he would knowingl

The reason quoted by the article for FCC dismissal was that they are too small to be tracked, and thus avoided. Is this a legitimate concern? Even with a thousand up there, is there real concern for collisions with the amount of space inv

If you want to compete in your local sprint/olympic triathlon, sure. You can get by with that - I even said as much in my post above. But if you want to compete in Ironman events, like the article's subject.. you're looking

Let's not also ignore the fact that doing triathlon is very expensive. Those who are mature, set in their lives, and have disposable income have much more access to it. Sure, you can swim in 5$ trunks, ride an old hybrid on the bike,

What you've just described is less an argument for vegetarianism and more an argument for population control. If the fish come to you, and you're incapable of overfishing them, your whole fantasy stops. That said, you're rig
