If you sleep in pyjamas or have a thin sheet between you and the chainmail, then perhaps the hair pinching would be less of an issue.

Could that also be a sign that the person is simply older?

Even $5k is extremely cheap for a good 6’1" grand piano in good condition.

That’s an interesting way to say burglary.

Some people say that there’s no such thing as a stupid question, but what you asked is proof that those people are wrong.

I was reading a book on the train. A guy had the nerve to come up to me and ask me about the book I was reading.

I agree. The peaceful people in Russia don’t deserve to be invaded. Pity there’s not many of them, though.

It does seem that there are box trucks based on the Ram pickup chassis, but I don’t think I’ve seen those in person. Most box trucks I see here in Canada are either based on a van chassis (usually Ford Econoline or Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana, but sometimes European-style vans like the Sprinter), the Ford F-650/750, or an actual truck chassis, like an Isuzu cabover or something from a company like Kenworth or International.

I once rented a cargo van to buy a mattress and bed frame from IKEA. It turned out that I didn’t need the van at all and could have packed everything into the 4-door sedan I had at the time. Part of it was because the mattress was rolled up in a compact manner. I seem to recall that the van could easily fit in one spot.

When I drove a small school bus, and I needed to park it somewhere in between the times I was transporting students, I generally looked for a spot at the edges of the lot to back into, where the back of the bus would overhang over the curb (I made sure it would never disturb any sidewalk). Of course, I did several times see full-sized school buses diagonally parked across 4 spaces at the far end of a large parking lot; after all, there’s not much else you can do with such a large vehicle.

Are you forklift certified?

The worst part about this is that I’m inclined to believe that this story is real.

David Koch died, which is a very good thing he did for humanity.

Btw, what is an acoustic bike?

It’s a joking term for a non-electric bike.

From what I can tell, Zero does that shit that Tesla and BMW do, where you have to pay to unlock features that your car/motorcycle already has. Which is a shame, because the idea of owning an electric motorcycle, particularly a highway-capable one, intrigues me.

So the thief climbed up to your balcony to steal your bike? What floor do you live on?

I bought a convertible Chromebook some time ago specifically to use as a sheet music reader, because the tablet I was using for that purpose was too small.

I’ve found myself wanting to get a typewriter for a while, but I wouldn’t be able to justify it because I don’t really have anywhere to put it, nor would I really have any use for it. And an electric bike would perhaps be nice as well, but I already have an acoustic bike that works perfectly well.

Sonic 1, 2, and CD have been ported to Android.
