I drive safely, thank you very much!

Hate hate hate when people ride their bike on the sidewalk in Philly. If you're too scared to ride in the street just walk.

And they don’t have to follow any of the rules of the road. Win win for them.

They have to follow literally every rule of the road.

I don’t think that’s the joke. Slowhand seems to be anticyclist

i took at as him saying that while they are supposed to follow every rule of the road, they follow (in his experience at least) none of them.

It's probably somewhere near the percentage of drivers that don't use their turn signals or come to a complete stop at stop signs. Okay, probably less than that. Closer to those who make illegal left turns or don't know what a double yellow line means.

There certainly are some jerky bicyclists out there ( and runners , too). When your feeling is that they shouldn't be on the road at all, though, I'm pretty sure the incidents of breaking the law get highlighted in your mind, while those that do obey go (literally, in too many cases ) unnoticed.

To be clear, I only once went out of my way to run down a bicyclist.

Well, yeah, that time you time-traveled back to kill Hitler. No one can blame you for that one, though maybe for him only ending up with a broken leg.

it's right here in the land we call self-preservation.

What do they do in your neck of the woods? Speed? Tailgate? Go 45 in the passing lane? Overtake on a double yellow? Ignore yield signs when merging?

pass stopped traffic on right, then once the light changes or they get to the stop sign cut back into the running lane in front of the cars they just passed to make them have to crawl along

Woke up about a half hour ago STARVING. Went to McDonald's, got two sausage McMuffin with egg sandwiches and two sausage burritos. Came home, consumed the food, and will now be going back to sleep for hopefully another few hours. To me, this is the beginning of a beautiful weekend.

Only had time for one beer at my favorite place in the world so I’m having two woodford reserves on the flight

You’ve earned it

What's the deal with Beyoncé? I don't get why she is so beloved and worshiped, I don't have anything against her, her music is fine, she seems like a nice enough person, but I just don't get why she's so worshiped.

by **CalvinBall** » Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:30:55

had been thinking about that a lot lately too

I think I'm slowly falling down the rabbit hole of modular synthesis, specifically generative patches.

Having really good luck getting free woodford reserves on flights lately. Either they'll give me two and only charge for one, or give me one and not charge at all.
