‘Murica!

Really surprised that they weren’t purchased by Trek or Specialized - I’m seeing a lot of that lately; where a family owned shop closes and one of those two swoop in. It’s almost to the point where each shop in a city only carries one brand of bike - two in the Twin Cities because of QBP, but even then you have to ask…

We need to step over that line more. Bravo!

FIFA never does the right thing. Neither does the IOC. They follow the money, and that is all.

***SAID SARCASTICALLY***

I want to create a gun that shoots butt plugs up the ass of these gun nuts; they want to collect guns because they get off on it, so let’s just do it right.

There are exceptions, but it seems to me that most DC movies are bad - I know I’ve been put off them for a long while, but the television is good. So I’m willing to accept the possibility that Batgirl was bad, just because I haven’t seen DC do good short-form drama. Frankly, I wish they used that money to create new…

My spouse and are are pretty simple. We wake up and tell each other we hate them and wear black all day.

It’s pretty much a tossup between the IOC and FIFA to see what is more corrupt. Some people thought that when Sepp Blatter was tossed that it was a new era, but he was just the figurehead of the corruption, not the problem.

I live in St. Paul and bike commute 16 miles to Fridley. The hardest part is dealing with Roseville’s crappy snow removal on “trails” - otherwise it’s the four-lane death road on County Road C. Staying warm in single digits is easy  as long as you can keep moving, which is difficult with suburban traffic patterns. Oh,…

I’m curious as to when Whedon become the raging asshole we know of. I’m wondering if it’s when people started fawning over his creations? Buffy was never a ratings winner, but had a rock solid audience and the industry loved him enough to put him into projects far more expensive than anything he did on TV.

Producer credits are thrown around like candy now; there are contracts that give people producer credits if they don’t contribute anything to the current production (like IP holders); what I don’t know is if Baldwin is one of those “producers” or actually worked as a real-live producer on the show.

They made her carry it because cruelty is the point.

See if the Lockpicking Lawyer has done a video on your lock; he likes showing how to bypass locks, which you can do right before you buy a new one because he’s scared the bejesus out of you.

It’s thinks like this that make me realize that Arnold Rimmer was right all along: humans are a disease and the real reason the other planets are so far away from us (don’t go near Earth, its got humans on it).

“We recieved threats” + not showing any + no police reports = more idiots trying to cover their ass for their own stupidity.

Read: if you’re in a red state your crazy GOP overlords are going to yank everything they can, not for any logical reason, but because they can.

Customer Service will depend on the bank; a community bank is going to be a lot more personal than a national bank. Likewise, you have can credit unions where you might be a “member” but are much much larger and impersonal.

I really wish Subbuteo would catch on in the US; it’s still my favorite footy game.

In the upper midwest is Dr. Evermor’s sculpture park, all made from scrap metal from the business the late creator had. Simply amazing.
