    Do you like bike riding?

    It worked pretty well where I used to live. Ultimately if you can't stop within the distance you can see is clear you aren't paying adequate attention. It's really not that difficult.

    CBS Blames Childhood Obesity on Climate Change

    Hence what we really need is a climate change - a change to the political climate. Kick Nanny State out of our lives once and for all.

    Do you like bike riding?

    ... which goes back to the problem of people not paying attention. Where I used to live you could ride on most roads and not feel like you were taking your life in your hands. If people are paying attention you don't need endless places to run off the road; if people aren't paying attention then...

    Actress Anne Heche Critically Injured

    Does that change the speed she must have been going to launch 30 feet into a house?

    Bank Errors

    Closest thing I had to that was an ATM withdrawal that never showed up on my account. That was about 30 years ago and the amount was trivial. I had a weird quirk on a credit card transaction a while back at a brewpub I like. Somehow the total was listed as the tip amount. I noticed it because...

    Launched 30 feet into a home? Must have been going at an astronomical speed.

    CBS Blames Childhood Obesity on Climate Change

    Poor eating and a lack of exercise, largely caused by endless fearmongering and uncertainty about whether letting kids be kids counts as child abandonment. When I was a kid (I'm talking age 9-10 perhaps) I was expected to walk to school (about a mile away) accompanied only by other kids...

    Do you like bike riding?

    You don't need shoulders, you just need the majority of motorists to be paying attention to driving rather than their phones. I used to ride on roads with 60mph speed limits and no shoulder - the road was wide enough that I could stay mostly out of the way and every once in a while a car would...

    Do you like bike riding?

    I used to ride my bicycle everywhere, it was my preferred mode of transport. Where I live now it seems half the people behind the wheel aren't paying attention to what they are doing, so I don't really want to be the squishy bag of bones in any undesired encounter with the idiots.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My Garmin had a challenge to run a 10k this weekend. I haven't been running more than 5 miles (about 8k) for six weeks because of the heat but figured the worst of the heat has eased so I'd give it a shot. I got the distance in, I ran my 8 mile route (a whisker under 13k all in), and found it...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    ... also been finishing off fitting insulation panels on a wall in the house. I've got most of it done now, so now I need to add some shims so the sound proofing material I want to install over the top has a little bit of wiggle room to help deaden the noise from the road. Then my wife and I...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Back to running. I took a few days off with some kind of illness so I walked rather than ran. This week I've been easing back into running so hopefully I can still hit my running goals for the month. I've got 15 miles in so far and would really like to get to 60 by the end of the month. It's...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Speaking of alcohol.... had a really good night out with my wife at our favorite brewpub, seeing a local band playing and checking out a new beer. Usually I have a few different beers but the new one was really good and I ended up drinking a few. My wife was driving home, so I didn't need to...

    Left the church because they hate Jesus

    I'm not sure it's helpful to think of a single universal reason why people leave "the church", nor is it necessarily helpful to even refer to "the church" as if it were a single entity. In theory it kinda sorta should be but in practise the term means different things to different people. I'm...

    USA The Climate Change bill

    Pretty much my thoughts. It always makes me laugh when people fly on a private jet to some exotic location to lecture me about not flying for my vacation. As I said to one friend, the person who takes a transatlantic trip in a private jet releases as much carbon as I'm likely to release during...

    Inflation Examples of Groceries

    I've taken to doing much the same thing. I figure out which things would be a real problem if I were to run out completely and make sure I have a supply of them on hand. It started out when toilet paper was impossible to find and now expands to include anything else that might be difficult to...

    Do you keep or throw away

    I only keep selected cards if they really feel very special for some reason. Otherwise cards are the kind of thing that gradually accumulate until they take up far more space than you'd ever want to give them. I've cleared out enough space taken up with old cards to not want to inflict that on...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    The whole idea of allowing doctors to refuse to provide care they find objectionable seems like it creates a huge minefield. I can only imagine the fun if someone is found bleeding profusely, only to find the doctor on hand is a Jehovah's Witness who refuses to perform a life-saving blood...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. If the pharmacy didn't want to stock a time-critical product it would make more sense to refer people to another pharmacy than to invite them to come back in a couple of days, by which time the product would be less useful. I think it would. In...
