They'd be better off learning to budget, shop, and prep food alongside you.

I struggle to see the teachings behind watching little brown men bringing meals to the door.

Maybe now that the trackpad doesn't have to mimic a touchscreen they can give us proper buttons again.

CPC should take down the punching bag if they're tired of it being used.

Cheap li-ion e-scooters and bikes are here to turn all these advancements back.

No it's quite dissimilar. Streetcars in Toronto travel in mixed traffic in the middle lanes and deposit passengers into the right lane of traffic, which is expected to stop behind the open doors. What happens if the right lane is occupied by stopped traffic? You have to sit and wait while the passengers do their thing around the hopefully-attentive driver of the stopped vehicle.

Being in mixed traffic, streetcars are easily blocked by disabled vehicles or straight-up idiots. The time between launch and one of these things sperging out and blocking streetcars will be measured in minutes.

Actually, yeah. Wax rings, gaskets, supply lines, maybe a flap. Maybe not an entire fill valve, but they're available at any small hardware store.

Whoever curates the Edge homepage knows they have mere seconds to capture a new recruit before they manage to escape to a different browser. Their jobs depend on the amount of bait they can dump in one window.

I'm currently reading a book on a local mafia boss, and the best the church could do, when he was finally popped, was refuse to host his funeral.

>> The US is one of the few (arguably the only) countries holding the barbarians at the gate

>This has to be a joke. There is no way anyone on this planet is so deluded and misinformed.

No kidding. Donald Trump just opened the gate.

So we've upgraded from the simple switch, that's good.

Now I'm imagining drivers swapping tubes as they stop for a quick charge.
