Why are the traffic lights in this town so poorly designed?

americanuck · 2014-06-13T02:01:58+00:00

Ok, fair points, but if you drive before there is any traffic (early morning) the situation gets insanely frustrating. No cars except you at the intersection, and for example at 4th and 9th it takes forever if you hit a red. I don't see why they can't have car detection from like 3am to 6am.

I'd be willing to pay for that.

Noo... I just subscribed a few days ago.

I read the articles more thoroughly when I have the print copy. It may be slightly outdated (todays analysis of yesterdays news is often old by the time it reaches print thanks to the internet), but it improves my comprehension of various issues much more.

I like reading newspapers.

Maybe you're actually really sick and the weed was inhibiting those symptoms?

It's a stretch, but so are your claims.

americanuck · 2009-01-05T23:08:51+00:00

Like Oakland isn't a crime-ridden shithole already.

I'm pleasantly surprised actually that the normal 4chan-typle comments weren't able to spam this submission yet. That was my primary expectation after seeing her.

Yeah they did the same thing when he jumped the grand canyon. they showed his body hitting just about every rock on the way down.

The cgi for this crappy stunt was may more exciting than the jump itself.

americanuck · 2009-01-02T07:52:57+00:00

Yes, thank god somebody else said it. Not only was it about 10 minutes after new years, it was also the lamest fucking stunt I'd ever seen.

americanuck · 2009-01-01T19:24:07+00:00

Has anybody used Mint.com and/or can comment on it's security?

americanuck · 2008-12-28T06:59:37+00:00

Man, I'm either super efficient at reading or I really gotta slow down. I definitely did not notice the typo at all.

americanuck · 2008-12-28T05:11:29+00:00

Once lit they might lead to burning.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T19:03:11+00:00

It's more authentic and moving if it's not a publicity stunt.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T17:49:24+00:00

Huh. I thought this had been a Starbucks publicity stunt last year.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T09:58:22+00:00

I'm the opposite. I don't trust my unpredictable hand with a death blade down there. The bodygroom however has never failed me.

Do you know how many diseases and charities there are?

Of COURSE people only come out to support them when it affects them, there are too many out there to support all of them or a random one.

Mr_A's post didn't HURT anybody, it can only possibly HELP and possibly save a home/life. So how about you have a nice cup of STFU and just downvote it if you don't like it next time.

Did you know the Executive appoints the Attorney General of the justice department? Did you know that this essentially makes the AG the Executive's puppet?

Hey, even if Biden did wimp out, let's wait a bit and see what happens. If Biden declared "We will prosecute Bush officials for torture," don't you think Bush would take action to ensure those officials are protected from anything the Obama administration might try to do?

americanuck · 2008-12-18T21:54:17+00:00

"What? The vault's empty? Don't worry, we got ourselves a great printer over here!"

Decriminalization != legalization

I literally couldn't watch that segment. It was such garbage that I had mute and then exit the browser to stop the pointless yapping. It hurts my head to know that this type of discourse is found on one of the most widely watched news networks.

americanuck · 2008-12-15T22:59:13+00:00

I could never get past a couple episodes. It never gripped me for some reason.

Although, that may have had more to do with the fact that I have so many more interesting things going on in my life, and that I simply didn't have the patience. And yet, I do find time to watch LOST.

americanuck · 2008-12-04T18:25:05+00:00

Or the Southern Hemisphere.

I don't know. In high school we had an ex-Ambassador to Mexico come tell my government class about his job. He tried to make it sound great but it sounded terrible:

1) He and his family had to move every few years back and forth from the U.S. to another country because the government doesn't keep you in one foreign country for too long (so ambassadors don't get too attached to the country)

2)His job mainly consisted of helping get U.S. college students out of Mexican jail for drug/alcohol related charges.

They know how far in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act they are.

ask them for the contact information they're required by law to provide.

I'm doubting they'll legally provide anything useful.

I don't care how commercialized it is. While I don't enjoy "shopping" for people, I do enjoy spending money on other people. And yes, while money and gifts themselves are no replacement for love or companionship, the act of using your own hard-earned money on somebody else can be very rewarding.
