I go between douchebag and farmer.

whoops

my wheel isn’t really set up like that @n@

I usually just have my left-hand fingers on the wheel while my elbow’s on the window ledge. But if it’s icy out or something and I need to be cautious I’ll do the ol’ 10 and 2 aka none of these.

I’ve tried the douchebag and it’s altogether too much work to have to keep your arm up there at all times.

I do the right-handed douchebag sometimes, but more often the racecar driver, but only with one hand. Usually the right, and then I just let go entirely when changing gear.

im between douchebag and mom.

Farmer. Because the other hand is holding my coffee cup.

Racecar and Mom - but one-handed either way because my car is so pimp.

Taken from the Honest Girl Scouts campaign. For a campaign trying to get people /not/ to buy cookies and /not/ support the GSUSA, this is doing an awful lot to suddenly make me want /to/ support the GSUSA. (and I’m saying this a a former Girl Scout of about 6 years who hasn’t bought cookies in years because they’re too expensive). 

I see so much acceptance here, and especially in a time in children’s lives where acceptance is so important, taking that away from them is just cruel.

I do deserve to know what Girl Scout cookies fund. And they deserve to have my money to support their pinko commie radicalism. Delicious, delicious radicalism.
Also I really enjoy that providing good and information-based sex education is supposed to be a negative point. 

Oh gds, I love the scare quotes around the sex ed parts. LOVE.

I guess I need to devote a bigger portion of my budget to girl scout cookies, then.

I now feel even better about buying craploads of GS cookies from my niece.  Time to up the order!

Everyone go buy GS cookies!!!! Mmmm

I will never feel bad about my Girl Scout cookie buying binges ever again. THIN MINTS AND ABORTIONS FOR ALL!

Holy shit, the Girl Scouts are awesome!!!! Makes me want to support Scouting again. Also Thin Mints.

3 Thin Mints
2 Savannah Smiles
1 Trefoils

Inbound. Can’t wait.

OH SHIT PEOPLE. Yes, it’s true. The Proponent of Pie: The Viscount of Apple, the Prince of Peach, the Duke of Pumpkin (me, shut up), is BAKING A CAKE. But don’t worry, the world’s not ending. I AM RESTORING BALANCE BY MAKING A POT PIE FOR DINNER.

This cake contains chocolate. it will be awesome.

Cake AND pie. Glorious. Absolutely glorious.

“Most Americans won’t notice these lost opportunities. They don’t get out much or realize America’s growing backwardness. They don’t comprehend that a modern rail network, including high-speed rail, is a given is every populous advanced nation. They are stuck in 1970, when…

I would take Maglev trains everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They float - you won’t spill your drink and they aren’t obnoxiously loud. I looked into taking the train to the People’s Republic of VT a while back b/c I hate flying and the drive is obnoxious. The only one available had bus runs in the middle and took three days. Depending on which days they were - otherwise it was about a week. Lame.

Yeah …. but, no. Little Red Riding Rube murdered a cute little bunny, shanked a guy in the woods, and then killed her dad with a severed hand. That’s not totally useless.

Up to 3 inches of snow could fall this evening

- The season’s first snow is expected across the region this afternoon through this evening, ranging from flurries to accumulating snow.

No.

I SAID NO.

My back yard is open as an evacuation center for Boston friends (also Boulder, yeah?). Sunny and 72 and I’ve strung a hammock under the peach tree.

This is why I moved out of New England. 30 years of that business was enough.

Is anyone at Netflix paying attention to their customers and what their experience is? First the pricing fumble and now Qwickster? Really?

Do they really see a benefit in separate websites and separate billing statements? The options on streaming are pathetic. Other than series like Weeds the online options are like going to a really poorly stocked corner video store where you have never heard of any of the titles. Streaming is great but not if the library offered is full of crap.

Seriously Reed? Could you make this any more convoluted and more f*cked up? I am sure you will find a way…

This is pretty much exactly my take on the situation. I’m DVD-only now and if there are any hiccups at this point I’m showing “Qwickster” the door. Such a disappointment.

I’m curious what people think about the notion that this is a hit job on Netflix perpetrated by the studios planning to move in on what has been Netflix’s turf. Sounds plausible to me.

I bailed out completely due to the pricing shenanigans. Much of the stuff I wanted to watch streamed wasn’t available - so I’d set up the DVD queue and just watch something else until the discs arrived. I have a fast, reliable connection and even with that there were hiccups and pauses in the streams. I could watch the same movie one day - but not the next. I can even name that movie for the “citation needed” crowd: The Last Station.

There’s no way I’m paying $16 to wait for DVD’s or sit through unreliable streams. I have Prime, and with that comes free movies. The selection isn’t as great - but I’m not paying anything extra either. Sucks. I liked Netflix.
