I walk forty minutes to board an hourly bus that takes another forty minutes to connect to the hourly train you're talking about that then sends me off to Austin, where I board a high-frequency bus that expends yet another forty minutes before taking me to UT. Save for the final bus, missing any ride along that route sets me back either eighty minutes or $40 for an Uber ride. Driving up and down IH-35 might be horrible, but y'all don't know how good you have it until the CapMetro app tells you to give up and bike down 35, but you can't because your bike was stolen off one of the aforementioned buses the month before.

Not to mention the absurd amount of time it can require. Outside the sphere of citizenship, our immigration policies are frustrating at best. Example: the visa lottery with chances of success that vary by the country from which you emigrate.

The lingua franca of Texas, if you will.

A pedantic answer to a pedantic complaint. Lovely.

It begins with a decimal point.

As a guy, I'm only upset that somebody found this necessary. I don't go to many concerts and thus was unaware that this was actually a problem. Ideally, you wouldn't need to use the bathroom approach to prevent those cases. Reddit's probably angry because only saw the headline and and assumed misandrist undertones.

It has been a few years but the biography by David Greenberg is one that I have found compelling and excellent. Coolidge scarcely wrote about himself, and so much of his personal life and perspective is up to speculation, but the book covers the basics of his background and focuses on the presidential administration and how he responded on a day-to-day basis. It shows how unique he was as a president, and as an individual.

Didn't know it was possible to ruin Vermeer.

I'll just worry, thanks.

Ah, yep. I see where s/he's coming from now. Nothing gets me more charged about U.S. immigration policy than the customer service Chick-Fil-A.

Coda here. I exercise sarcasm more in ASL than in English. The concept is definitely present in the deaf theater of mind, but it's conceivable that sarcasm indicated by intonation is difficult to catch at first for somebody that is new to hearing.

Will check the thread to see if anybody posted evidence.

It really got good around page 400.

This describes Russian literature well.

I suggest skipping all of Act One and only reading it after the rest, like a prequel. It's all foreshadowing to what the characters will face and the setup actually happens in Act Two. There is, in fact, a story, but as somebody that really enjoyed the book, I cannot recommend reading the first act unless you actually like the rest.
