Tom Clancy referred to this as a “Canary Trap” in (I think) “The Cardinal in the Kremlin”

Or free if you buy a drive and put it at a friends house.

BAH!

Personally, I wouldn’t risk leaving a written record, either.

I was a little hyperbolic, there are times of day when you wouldn’t be able to get through if you stay back at the stop line. In addition to that it’s a state highway so even though it’s in the city the state has to do their study as well and that’s not going to happen any time soon. It’s going to get worse next year…

This problem would basically go away if people followed two simple rules.

There are intersections even in my small city where if you do that you will NEVER be able to turn left. The oncoming cars are going to gun it through the yellow and you will never be able to enter the intersection before the light turns red and then you can’t go because you’d be running the red light.

When I was learning to drive there was no delay, now there seems to be about a 2 second delay. That probably started about 15 years ago.

Our local paper just noted that the city police are going to be cracking down on this. It’s apparently illegal here.

That’s what fidget objects are supposed to be for. But the “fidget spinner” isn’t a fidget object in that sense. A fidget object is supposed to be something that you can use to keep your hands busy, WITHOUT paying attention to it, so that you can pay attention to what you’re supposed to be doing.

Sure, but my disqus login is so unimportant that it really shouldn’t even exist. It doesn’t need two factor authentication. There is some small benefit to the sites for having consistent user names but it doesn’t really benefit me to have to remember a password for it.

When you read the book there’s a two day process of getting started to collect all of your projects/actions into your initial list. As a bonus, your desk gets cleaned off, too.

I’m more concerned about:

Which is no one. Playing with a fidget spinner isn’t fidgeting.

I don’t know where you live but Pampas grass is invasive and choking out cattail swamps here.

pedantic note: you mean “hawking”, “hocking” is when you pawn something.

No. Pharmaceutical companies and doctors need to deal with the world as it is. Whatever the average woman should weigh, doses need to be normalized based on what they actually do weigh.

I suspect, though I’m not sure, that if the plane has not left the gate then it is still “boarding” and therefore he wasn’t removed from a “flight”. Definitions get weird.

Every salt shaker/grinder I’ve ever had has corroded and fallen apart within a year or two, so I just buy the cheapest ones I can find now.

I find it odd that you’re more comfortable putting your camera down and walking away from it than asking a specific person to take your picture. Generally, since most people aren’t thieves, the person you ask is going to not be a thief and will take your picture and give your camera back. However, since there ARE…
