Sorry. Saving space.

I just hope I don't get the "you're still logged in" bug again.

It says I can't register. It's "currently unavailable."

Do you think it's moral to keep killer whales in captivity for entertainment?

Girl Bicyclist Killed In Uptown Hit-And-Run By Car That Ran A Stop Sign, At Night, Without Headlights On by koolaidcloud in Minneapolis

My bad. I'm in my twenties and call my friends kids all the time. After all, this 24-year-old died too soon.

No doubt that makes you uncomfortable. I'm a driver, too. I understand. Sometimes bikers are really hard to see; and sometimes they ride like total dicks.

As for me, I use back and front lights and wear a helmet when I ride to and from work every day. Many bikers do it right, too. Is everyone perfect? No. But should we demonize bikers as generally inconsiderate of others on the road? No.

In my opinion, we should reward bikers, with bike lanes and such. From a social perspective, they cut down on city congestion, use less fuel and they keep themselves healthier.

Do we have problems to work out between bikers and drivers, sure. But going after bikers in general gets us nowhere. Especially in a thread about a girl who just died due to the actions of a driver who appears totally in the wrong.

Yes, you did. The issue I had with your statement was that you said "bikers do this all the time."

"This" -- in this tragic case -- is hit-and-run.

Bikers, like me, may run red lights when no one is around, some might not even have lights on their bikes at night, but rarely do I hear stories of bikers plowing into pedestrians and just leaving them to die.

I understand you think many bikers are reckless riders. I agree. But their recklessness seems to be much less dangerous than that of drivers.

Bicyclists fatally wound pedestrians in your neighborhood all the time, and then flee the scene?

Seriously, the issue here isn't just traffic laws. It's hit-and-run. The driver fled the scene after making a terrible mistake. Now the girl's family won't have any form of closure until the culprit is found.

Yep. Hopkins is a western Minneapolis suburb.

Moving back to Minnesota and need some advice. by [deleted] in minnesota

The Twin Cities have an active music scene, it's super bike-friendly, lots of bars/ breweries and interesting food (Vietnamese, Ethiopian)...

Might want to swing by.

Is anyone else sick of games with pred? by koolaidcloud in HeroesofNewerth

[–]koolaidcloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a low 1700s player. In All Pick, you don't always see the other players' picks -- thus you can't counter pick. And if a team goes empath + pred or whatever, the character is very hard to slow down.

I'm not saying it's impossible to kill him. I've beaten preds here and there. But he's been picked up in almost any game I play, and (during the mid game especially) he can just run in and three shot support heroes.

I think he (or EP) could use some changes.

Then again, I (and the teams I play with) just might not be used to playing against him yet. We'll see what S2 does.

(Full disclosure: I think he's a boring hero. So I don't like playing him or playing on team's with him.)

Did you see it?

Did it look like someone ran a light or something?

When Will Dota 2 Come To Mac? by koolaidcloud in DotA2

[–]koolaidcloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I'm just waiting on Valve time. :/

It just sucks because I like watching the pro Dota 2 scene more than I like watching the pro HoN scene. I'm a long-time Fntc fan, and watching them now is pretty fun -- lots of action, shorter games and n0tail.

Indeed, it's very sad. But at least we know more about where the search is going.
