  • There’s a train station parking lot where I live which has solar canopies over the car spots.

    In the winter, snow and ice accumulates and does fall off. A few years ago a saw a big section of ice/slush slough off and almost hit a kid waiting for their parent to pick them up.

    I’m not sure how bad it really is overall, but the photo in this post doesn’t look much like an area which gets snowfall.

    • Suddenly makes a game of “tag” way more high-stakes—and FUN!

    • Don’t have to feel guilty about boiling your lobsters alive.

    • Ticks and mosquitoes? Never an issue.

    I’ll admit it makes petting zoos a tragic affair, but what the hell good is “smelling” ants?





  • Since the Jedi had fucked up “codes” to live by, I never would have expected them to rescue the mom.

    Queen Amidala, however…

    How fucked up is it that she was taken in by Anakin’s mother, who (as a god damn slave) fed her, gave her a place to stay, allowed her son to risk his life in a pod race, and ultimately gave her only son up willingly to go with her and the two Jedi, not really knowing what would happen but just trusting he’d be safe—but then, that same kid who gets attacked on the way to the ship just leaving Tattooine, ends up flying a fighter craft and destroying the droid control ship which saves Amidala’s entire planet and people. The fact the kid survived any of that is a miracle, but he clearly misses his mother. A fact Amidala was blatantly aware of.

    The fact that Amidala, who had nearly infinite resources at her disposal, owed her life and every life she was responsible for in Naboo to Anakin, and was clearly aware of pretty much the only thing Anakin wanted in the entire universe—his god damn mother—and yet Amidala didn’t do jack fucking shit to drop a few coins on Watto and free Shmi.

    I never would have expected the Jedi to free her, but Amidala? What a fucking piece of work…










  • MAYBE you could make an argument if my Mac screen was in vertical portrait layout all the time, you could begin to argue in favor of the thought process behind the current design.

    But without that, with a landscape-oriented Mac display, the argument just isn’t there, so the thought process doesn’t make sense.

    This is all before you even brain storm actual UI design ideas—the base-argument is invalid.
