I do ride, and I still posit that a horn that responds instantaneously to a button tap will overall result in a more recognizable, more easily located (since higher-frequency sounds are easier to locate) noise faster than rolling on throttle to spool up the engine will. In my case, this is true even with the 1"…

If you have time to roll on throttle for the purpose of conspicuity, don't you have time to just blow the horn? It responds faster anyway (in a situation where fractions of a second can make a difference).

I'd like to answer your question with a question: twice you have referred to "cultural" factors contributing to the situation. What culture were you referring to?

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't speak your mind; but I sincerely want to know: what's the point of this comment?

OMG, does Julia Gillard know about this? Bey, you're risking a boomerang to the knee!

Alternative title: "Jezebel Posts Click-Baity Headline to Shame Someone Who Has Apparently Done Nothing to Deserve Shaming".

Desperate? Yeah, perhaps. But to move from the B (or C...or D) list to the A list, you have a couple of options: 1) toil away like a trouper on the B list, do a great job, and hope for notice or 2) make a grand gesture, and swing for the cheap seats. Clearly #2 didn't work for her here; but it has worked for others…

Undeniably a funny reference, and well-played; but I guess I just don't get why this is considered such a crazy stunt.

Nice. And if we're gonna get all geological up in here, can we hurry up and move on to #crevASSe?

Oh, Neko Case, will you EVER do or say or tweet anything that doesn't make me love you more? No? I thought not.

Christ, what's wrong with my head?

Fedorasexual? That really IS a love that dare not speak its name.

Ahhhh, Biddle.

Ali Larter, you'd better get in on this lawsuit business!
