Now you can imagine why everyone else on this planet actually hates the us government. Probably most of you citizens of that country have nothing in common with such abusive nature.
PS: in my country e renowned musucian travelling in a taxi was killed (and the taxi driver too) after being hit by a truck driven by an US…

I'm frequently sleep deprived, but none of the "clues" apply to me. Part of WHY I'm sleep deprived is it takes me quite some time to get to sleep, unless I only try to sleep when I'm extremely tired, and if I do that I stay up too late and don't get enough sleep, because I automatically wake up early in the morning.…

I drive and I bike and I used to motorcycle. Yes there are cyclists who ignore rules and laws. But do not underestimate drivers. If you watch closely you will see constant infractions my all road users whether they are pedaling or driving does not matter once. Complete stops are often ignored, speed limits are…

I think you're playing a little loose on your definition of "obey the law." If a cyclist rolls through a stop sign/light you're holding them accountable. How often do you see cars do the same? If you don't say pretty dang frequently you're lying. Or speed? Or not signaling? Or not signaling early enough? Or…

Most motorists speed in almost every area and a whole lot of motorists tailgate. Cyclists are hardly alone is breaking some rules. Speeding and tailgating greatly increase the risks of deadly collisions too. Heck, I got tailgated by a speeding cop today. That's not to mention texting and driving, not using turn…

So no drivers disregard speed laws? What about minimum passing distance laws? What about maintaining safe following distance? there is so few drunk drivers on the road there no enforcement needed. Is texting and phone use is at an all time low? Drivers ignore just as many laws as cyclists just different ones, and…

I was going to call BS on the zucchini too, but gardening lore seems to say the opposite of my (admittedly novice) experience. I was able to grow squash once too. The other time, the starter bush variety dried out before I had time to remember to water it. Maybe it's less picky for the parts of the world we're not in.

I had a TERRIBLE time with trying to get zucchini/squash to grow. I didn't get a single one this year. I kept getting little buds, but the next day they'd be gone. My wife and I came to the conclusion that some small animal was eating them, probably racoon or opossums.

At last a 'normal' bag as opposed to the $500 examples we have been treated to lately.

If you are going to use a particular tool often, always get the best. Its awfully hard to find a good used tool anywhere because the artisan passes his much loved tool down to someone who appreciates the tool. To get an idea of excellent tools see; LeeValley Tools. They carry quality.

Dear Smarter, Well, the first thing to establish if you're trying to figure out whether or not speeding is worth it is the legal cost. Even if we could prove that speeding is a more efficient way to get from one place to another, it's illegal and fines could cost hundreds of dollars. Not to mention the increased…

Should include gas mileage changes as speed increases as well. Is worth noting that getting caught speeding once will probably blow any and all time savings since you'll have to wait around for the cop to write the ticket and then the time at court if you choose to fight it.

Don't bury it in sand?

It's not just about saving money, it's about waste. It's still in there, why waste it. My tube of tooth paste looks empty for over a month before it's all gone.

It would be a good idea if you wanted to ride without lights during the day. I commute 4,000 miles a year by bike...two lights up front, two on the back on EVERY time I ride. Be seen!

That's what makes hybrid drives a great choice, best of both worlds for now.

My daughter is six, and I've tried something very similar already. It did not work. What did work is making sure she understood that I had heard her question, understood her reasons, and the reason I'd said no. Still not 100% effective, but better than "because I said so", which really means "I can't be bothered to…

I've always found running a bit boring; biking, though, I can do all day. All about the fun factor for me.

If you live near an Apple Store - otherwise you get screwed. Every other manufacturer will collect and return your laptop for repair, with Apple you have to take it to an Apple Store.
