  1. "Stuff-touching" is a service some folks gladly pay for, kinda like dictators fearing assassination attempts might have servants engaged in food-tasting...but different.
  2. Still a treat to see it come together.
  3. Box your frame rails for stiffness and more predictable handling.
  4. Rainbow chasing can be fun, depending somewhat on one's companion during the exercise; best one I ever saw was both ends of a double.
  5. I think the issues people are having with self-checkout kiosks are more about the particular system employed, and the competence of the particular store or business management. My local Publix stores (five stores I routinely use, depending on what other errands I'm running) all have 4 of them, as well as typically 2-3 human checkers. They also have an attendant whose sole responsibility is to deal with the occasional...and rare...self-check glitch. I've been using the self-checks there for more than a decade, because I can blow through and get out the door while the human checkers are dealing with coupons, folks who don't know their PINs, folks trying to buy booze with food stamps or pay with paper checks and no ID, etc. I've also used self-check in Walmart stores, both here and in Az., and Kroger stores here and their affiliates in Az., and have had zero real complaints. EDIT: As an aside, I've rarely had the pleasure of dealing with any business that's as consistently competent as Publix. They do, of course, have the odd employee who's apparently not focussed and fuds something up, but in general, their stores here have been doing a fine job since I moved to this part of town in 1999.
  6. Are you putting real effort into whatever you do, or do you just slide on the bare minimum?
  7. "Teacher teacher, Billy came to class prepared and it's not fair to those of us who didn't !!!"
  8. "Convict, convict, convict" shouted the crowd who had nothing to go on but irrational hatred and ignorance.
  9. Reading the moronic drivel that shows up in comments under yootoob vids is like watching a slowmo train wreck. "Dumber than a box of rocks".
  10. Horrendous the Pooh is rumored to be Jabba the Hut's long lost cousin.
  11. "Not on my watch" said the buffoon who thought it sounded like something a tough guy would say.
  12. "Parlour games" have different connotations to different people, but rule infractions in a pool parlor can get you a pretty attention-getting whack up against the head with a cue.
  13. Game rules have been said to not be taken seriously, so who cares what anybody posts anymore?
  14. One dang meme after another...
  15. And always follow the science...
  16. Speaking of answers to questions nobody ever asked...
