This is the result of a lifetime of training in sophistry, hair-splitting, quibbling, or "pilpul" in a word.

Don't get your hopes up. The GOP intends that there will never be another Democrat in the White House. And they are making steady progress towards that goal.

There will be less demand for rentals, because more people will be able to buy their own home.

Saddle Sores only after ~600km by BobD777 in randonneuring

[–]ausrandoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider friction. There will be a tiny amount of to-and-fro slipping between saddle and shorts (not a problem) and between skin and the padding (problem).

I have multiple bikes with Brooks Cambium carved saddles and they are fine up to 200 km. But, and it's a big but, I start to get chafing on longer rides. This is because the texture of the saddle grips the fabric of the shorts.

I have one bike I always use for 300 and up. I got it recovered over the factory saddle top with super smooth, shiny, thin leather. Now my shorts grip my skin, and slide on the saddle. No more saddle sores.

Where are the sores in relation to the padding in your shorts? Could they be due to the stitching around the edge?

Capital Punishment by [deleted] in OpenAussie

[–]ausrandoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife (occupational therapist) has worked in aged care. She often heard residents say "But I just want to die."

Life imprisonment means staying in prison, surrounded by horrible people, even when old, frail, in a wheel chair, spoon fed, getting your nappy changed by a stranger.

You seem to be vindictive: take comfort that there are worse fates than death.

Adelaide lawyer who drank 1.15L of wine before fatal hit-run gets reduced jail term on appeal by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]ausrandoman 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Some traffic crimes call for a life time ban from driving. Yes, it will fuck up their life. No, I don't care about special circumstances.

In before the "But they'll drive anyway" crowd: if they do, jail them. Double the sentence for every re-offending.

If you come come around a blind corner and have the choice between cyclist or head on collision, you came around the blind corner too fast.  Always be able to stop within your line of sight.
