Lol... I only fly through a handful of airports regularly but I can tell you that the rules absolutely do vary from airport to airport. In my experience, the big ones have their shit together and are the most relaxed about the rules, whereas West Podunk Municipal Airfield will be the strictest.

That’s gotta be extremely specific to your location. (I’ve been driving all over the country for decades and have never even seen a blue reflector indicating a fire hydrant.) Why do they make the distinction between tires?

“You may have issues, but don’t judge me...”

Yup. “Daylight” and “cool” bulbs are the reason people mistakenly believe LED’s/CFL’s are universally ugly.

Did she propose legislation banning guns except for Senators?

LMAO. You didn’t “prove” shit.

This blog post explains to enterprises how the product allows them to see where their (the enterprise’s) files have been. This is a problem how? Do you also worry about Apple/Microsoft/whoever makes your OS reporting information about you back to their central servers? Do you worry about the library keeping a list of…

Do you have evidence that cloud-based backup providers like Crashplan are mining people’s personal data? Because otherwise this just sounds paranoid.

This is an excellent summation, and your comparison to the paper map is spot on. I’ve thought a lot about this and have to conclude that it’s simply because smartphones are relatively new that lawmakers and others have decided texting is the most dangerous thing in the whole world. I can almost excuse the draconian…

Occasionally I’ll come across sales where they do actually want you to buy all 10 to get the deal. On the flip side, my grocery of choice regularly offers items “buy one, get one free” where single items ring half price.

Yes, Windows 7 is demonstrably worse than Windows 2. Who needs networking?!?

No difference between opposing a specific nominee on the basis of his record, vs. proclaiming the President is ineligible to carry out his duties as specified in the Constitution? You really are brainwashed, aren’t you? You’re thrashing around trying to establish equivalency where none exists.

I bought my Contigo travel mug over a year ago and highly recommend it. I’m still impressed by how long it keeps my coffee (1) warm and (2) in the mug instead of in my bag during my commute. Looks like the “monaco” (blue) version is also $15 today.

Do you not see the fundamental difference between Obama disapproving of a specific nominee, vs. McConnell rushing out to reject any nominee at all before the last guy’s body is even cold?

The District of Columbia requires a postcard permit for replacement of up to 10 outlets or fixtures.

So what do you do with your trash once the bin is full? Eat it?

AnyList’s website says Premium is $12/yr for families. What’s this about $40? (A version that does your shopping for you, I hope??)

“I can’t fathom presenting myself online as anything more (or less) than myself.” — What a great way to put it. Hell, I get uncomfortable when I ask Diane Smith for her email address and she’s all, “Sure! It’s george_smith65@aol.com.” (You do know email addresses are free, Mrs. Smith?)

The woman who wrote the piece I linked to neither complains, nor whines, nor cries. That's a clever little quip about crocodile tears, though! Ahh, ya got me good!
