Less concern about sexual assault if you’re on a motorbike instead of in a car.

We have our own moose.

I have a Kindle, but I will always prefer physical books. Recently, I have mostly been reading nonfiction, but I’m feeling the urge for some fantasy.

I’m a big fan of betterworldbooks.com for used books.

I have like four every six months.

Oh yeah, I would. There’s a big Chinese population in my area, so it’s kind of a big deal. Last year, I made the mistake of trying to buy a lobster when it was coincidentally Chinese New Year. I had the option of these little bitty things or monsters six plus pounds.

I had not known that their red color after being cooked makes them popular during the new year.

Grats! That must be a huge load off.

Technically interesting not-global news.

I’m in favor of the guy not literally drowning in sewage, but also…

Some sewage water in the area was collected and released to a nearby river Wednesday.

I started hunting for a new job immediately.

I would assume it does. Ergonomic keyboards may be less of a risk.

Something probably nobody here wants to hear, but I developed arthritis in my hands from typing all the time. I was a very fast typer, so that might have been a factor.

Just Bernie so far.

It is very much not a thing. At least not for American tech workers.

That’s fucked up.

Post rock, the most famous example being Explains in the Sky.

I still don’t understand the title.
