For cycling, a bike bell is usually the way to go. It can be louder than yelling, is more pleasant to hear, and identifies you as a cyclist without anyone having to look. Also good for signaling to motorists. When passing pedestrians on a multi-use path, I often put a finger on the bell so it rings quietly.

He’s gotten better over the course of the show, the problem is that Clarke really hasn’t improved at the same rate.

She did it right: keep your head until the fighting starts, and don’t react until you’re ready.

the Iron Bank guy would not commit their support of Cersei’s war until their repayment made it to the Iron Bank, which as we know from the epic end scene, it did NOT.

Copperheads are exceedingly dangerous, and a nest of them under a residence is a situation that more than justifies their extermination. That’s all there is to that.

are you pontificating from Park Slope or some shit

This one smells fake. Um, yeah, I’m not going to report this to a flight attendant, but I will attempt to blow up the internet? Hmmmm. From the moment where she boasts about not having any other people to sit next to right down to her claim that the left foot opened the window shade.....HMMMMM. She’s lying. This is a…

Why wouldn’t husbands and wives just go on their own damned shopping excursions unless there is something to be procured that is of interest to both of them? I have never understood this tired-out cliche of the poor dumbass whiny husband being “dragged” shopping by the demanding wife. The last time my wife and I went…

I was perusing The Knot today and they recommended Danzig’s “Mother” as a great mother/son dance, as well as “Mother” by Pink Floyd. It’s as if they just typed the word mother into Spotify without actually listening to them.

For anyone who doesn’t have Spotify, like myself

There is no such thing as a soulmate, no person who ‘fits’ with you completely. People have flaws, and people change. The partner whose qualities you love now may evolve overtime, as we all do. The You in twenty years will be far different than the You today, and who’s to say that the relationship won’t sour as a…

Enjoyed reading the article, but I disagree. I fundamentally believe that you can’t avoid turning into the environment you’re in. I’m a firm believer in Zimbardo’s quote:

Hmmm sounds like you feel like or maybe you do get “trampled on” by “assholes.” I’m a pretty strong individual so I’ll share a secret with you: being an asshole is not how you repel assholes. In fact it’s how you attract their energy. Most people interpret this to mean that you avoid them by being nice. That’s not how…

is this useful advice or a commercial for merino wool? tough to tell...

Well said. "Conciously letting go of endlessly festering rage and bitterness"...........When I was able to forgive my ex, I was freed of all that anguish and pain.

Works very well for me!

You made a statement that the Beats (200 dollars) sounded as good as your SOL (100 dollars)... The Beats are not a good representative of 200 dollar headphones... That's what I'm trying to say. So saying that 200 dollar headphones aren't worth it based on your audition, Beats (one of the poorest at that price…

Does a similar rule apply to Android phones?

And people like you should go even further away for adding nothing to the discussion.

I'm going to guess yes. I really really DISLIKE gwaker media in that they don't label them as paid advertisement.
