I actually think you can kind of “forget” how to swim, unlike with the metaphorical bicycle. I swam like an otter as a kid in pools, rivers, lakes, quarries, blah blah blah. I just stopped after I went to college, never really had an occasion to do it again for about a decade. The first time I tried it next, I was in…

LOL, my brother did this (only it was way more than one drink) and wound up walking over a mile in the wrong direction, in the dead of winter; he ended up outside a local refinery and must’ve triggered an alarm because the cops came and found him. He said they just laughed at him and gave him a ride home.

I would actually love to find a decent Accord coupe, it would probably be perfect for my purposes.  

Speaking of, if you want a laugh, check out this local listing:

It’s the biggest trash fire imaginable. I went to look at an older Civic this past Friday that some guy listed on my local CL, I figured I could maybe use it as a winter beater if it was at all halfway decent. Judging by the condition of the body, the pics he posted had to be at least 8-10 years old. The brakes were…

If 165 cyclists were popped during that year, I have to assume only ~170 tests were administered.

That is exactly what it’s about. Fucking politicians—Republicans esp., but also probably most shithead Dems—love to venerate the free market, almost like a primitive and benighted people might worship their imagined god, yet they are utterly, completely, irrevocably opposed to the free movement of labor in any form…

That’s funny, I just bought FETH at my local Target this past Tuesday and it was literally the only copy they had left in stock, they had to go into the back to find it. I actually haven’t been to a Game Stop since the original release of Dark Souls 2, when the local GS, Target and Wal-mart all had zero copies…

I love to recite this every chance I get: law enforcement is the only profession to ever be involved in a landmark discrimination case (Jordan v. The City of New London) for refusing to hire an individual because they were too intelligent.

Late to the party, but for shits and giggles I’ll just add this quote from Hammerstein-Equord, in which he not only expresses great regard for laziness, but also severe scorn for pointless industriousness:

To me it was really all just the one issue, and it’s frustrating as hell b/c it’s the exact same damn mistake Sony, as a company, has made before on multiple occasions. They more than anyone else should’ve known better, that most gamers would blanch at paying insane premiums for a pointlessly proprietary storage…

I wish I could get into EU or Crusader Kings II or basically any of their stuff, but the patience required is so far beyond anything I can possibly muster that it’s comical.

There’s a range of like eight or so difficulties you can manually select, so that’s kind of up to you, really.  As far as approachability or whatever, it’s easy to learn how the systems work, it’s nothing like a Paradox game or anything like that.

I recall that Sony had extravagant repair manuals for their VAIOs back ~2010, and quite frequently they contained inline videos showing exactly how to perform a given procedure. They were thoroughly professional and extremely valuable; even with a totally foreign machine you could strip it all the way down to the mobo…

IF YOU WERE IN A MINOR ONE-CAR BLACK ICE DITCHING AND YOUR HEADLIGHT WAS BROKEN, TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF BEFORE DRIVING THE CAR ANY FURTHER!!! If you have daytime running lamps, leave the car off and call a wrecker to haul it to your house until you can properly inspect the damage. If you’re not willing to do this, be…

I have an extremely expensive computer and a huge library for it, as well as a Switch, and I’d say I spend 90-95% of my gaming time on the PS4.  It’s just a rock-solid console, and a legit contender for all-time best.  

Don’t worry, creepy Biden is easily the most impressive Uncle Joe since Stalin, I’m sure he’ll ride to your rescue. If not, you’ll always have Klobuchar waiting in the wings, right? Why so down, when you have such glittering champions of mediocrity and appeasement to back?

Yes, that’s it, ramp up that sanctimony, surely being a presumptuous asshole will sway people to your cause. I just know it.  

So, I don’t really follow these things closely, but what sort of policy positions do you guys in the sanctimonious bottom-shelf concern-trolling crowd tend to prefer?

As if the Germans would even accept him.
