Good thing those forests weren't paved. That would have been hard on our ancient ancestors' feet.

Isn't "act of god" pretty much what they excluded when they said "if accident or mechanical failure was not the cause."?

Isn't usual policy that once it's marked, you ignore those signs at your own risk? At least that's how bad roads work over here (they usually don't build ramps, though).

Russian camera work looks superior, though.

Yeah, the RVs are probably the best part because those drivers probably don't even know they hit the bridge until they step inside...

But along as it's there, the speed limit seems perfectly reasonable.

The article just brushes the subject but I believe it can't be stressed enough: Don't flush drugs. Most waste water treatment facilities are not equipped to deal with those, in fact, most can't even properly handle those drugs you excrete. Not only do they pollute the water leaving the facilities, they can also…

Vomit should be OK (unless you ate something really strange...) though it certainly shouldn't be part of the daily business (and if it is, there are other people more important to talk to than a plumber).

Get a trashcan with a lid in the bathroom, period. I know of many reasons to have them and no good reason not to...

Vomit degrades way better in the sewer...

Most atheists (and others who don't follow any religion or church) tend not to organize (not over that, at least). Which is fine in principle except for one thing: organized religion. The larger churches are among the most influential lobby organizations in the world, spewing nonsense everywhere. I may be an atheist…

Meh. While I agree with the conclusion, this is anecdotal evidence at best.

That's actually kinda brilliant. In a somewhat weird way.

Just leaving this right here.

Naw, #4 should be: Think about #3 for a minute. Seriously?

Doesn't get much better in Europe. I've been to several countries alone (as in: just me and my car) but hey, I live just a few kilometers from the border. What is traveling alone, anyway? And a foreign country? Is traveling alone three weeks in the desert? Or a weekend in a city? Does it mean I'm the only one for a…

What's a genre anyway? I like good movies. 98% (statistics made up) of horror movies are cheap crap. So is that a no? About the same percentage of science fiction movies is bad, too, but I consider myself liking that genre (though the "cheap" percentage is a bit lower, I think, because space ships are more expensive…

I gotta say, Spritz keeps its promise. I can read as many words per minute as it throws at me. But that's it: I read words but I really don't read sentences, thoughts, meanings. Just words.

Since when do movies post disclaimers that they are not true to the source material? If that was required, every movie needed such a disclaimer. Well, unless it's original material.

Well, technically, religious texts are pretty much the only ones that deal with truth. There's no such thing in the real world.
