The Beatles are unlistenable. Boring, tendentious lyrics, and way too self-indulgent. I can't stand that noise.

Voting hardly requires my full faculties.

No, 40 lbs for a cargo bike isn’t "give up and be a scooter" territory. My bakfiets is 95 lbs, no pedal assist or batteries, and it's not super noticeable for weight.

sic throughout...

One of the more manly things to do in a truck would be to shift gears, but that’s not even an option on most of them...

What he is, undeniably, is american.

Seriously. Open an account at a local Credit Union. Don't give your money to this bank!

I used to only buy ice cream in the winter, because I had a 45 minute drive back to the harbor, then wait for the ferry (passengers, no cars), then a 45 minute boat ride, then garden cart the groceries home on the island. Even with a soft-sided cooler and ice packs, it was a bit much to get ice cream home in the…

How warm is warm enough for kids to run around outside? I live in the mountains in Maine, and our kids are outside all year. Seems like a question of proper clothing, and keeping them dry.

Catholic school: fill your children's heads with lies, and then molest them. No thanks.

28 panels here, but after a few huge snowstorms one of my arrays hasn’t made a watt of power for 2 weeks....

My 2 cents: why add a car payment and make a big change now? Might as well drive what you have until it needs replacement, and then decide what works for you.
