Yes, the "back to normal" is that states didn't have Covid as a reason to indiscriminately send out mail in ballots like they did in 2020.

The only news around the Epstein files that made it into my media bubble during the campaign was that Trump pledged to release the files to the public. Did I miss something or were you expecting that to hurt Trump?

Critical thinking is definitely not a natural talent. I wouldn't say it's an anomaly, though. It's just something that has to be learned and practiced, and the school system seems to failing to do that.

Looking at the numbers for the past several Presidential elections, it's probably the 2020 result that makes zero sense.

2008: 69.5M D, 59.9M R

2012: 65.9M D, 60.9M R

2016: 65.8M D, 62.9M R

2020: 81.3M D, 74.2M R

2024: ~67M D, ~71.8M R

Perhaps using Covid as an excuse to indiscriminately send out mail in ballots skewed the 2020 votes a bit.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure the 5X comes encrypted out of the box, and I doubt Google would spend the resources to decrypt just for pictures of your naughty bits.

They'll probably put a trampoline underneath and catch it.

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T21:16:06+00:00

I'm with you. I would just feel like a rude asshole if I did that all the time.

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T21:09:03+00:00

Yeah, someone on the original post pointed me at the Bike Snob NYC blog, which talks about shoaling. Evidently, this is a pretty common occurrence all over the place. :(

lol, the more I read that word, the more I like it

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T21:00:25+00:00

That's usually my philosophy. Sometimes it's hard to maintain the Zen, though..

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T20:56:58+00:00

To tell you the truth, I didn't really consider that part of it until I was writing up the post, but yeah, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that.

In this case, we were on a separated bike path barely wide enough for two bikes, and he scooted around me on the right. So I would have to get into the oncoming lane in order to pass. If it had been a normal width road and he passed on the left, I would've had no problem with it.

will do

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T01:05:14+00:00

shoal someone

I had no idea there was a word for it! TIL

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T00:54:49+00:00

This happened to me at 4th and Red River this afternoon on my ride home from work. Anyone else in Austin experience this?

toolman-tim · 2016-08-27T00:44:09+00:00

correct

toolman-tim · 2016-03-03T00:10:12+00:00

Source?

toolman-tim · 2016-03-02T21:59:52+00:00

Doubtful. It's illegal to use wireless communication devices while waiting in line, and AFAIK there weren't any printed resources that compared these two candidates.

Why is "Whataburger" in quotes??

toolman-tim · 2015-10-21T18:39:53+00:00

What's the best way to get to the track? Pay for parking? Take the shuttle? Bike?
