Sucks. Insurance? Out of curiosity, stolen from where? Bike rack, house, garage? Remember to register them on http://www.stolenbicycleregistry.com/ especially if you have a serial number

I dont think we need to worry about hand drills vs machines.....who the hell is going to carry a Bosch 20 pound drill into the wilderness...... :cough cough: infinite bliss :cough cough:

personally, I would avoid using a rope in pyramid gully, especially if it's warm and things are thawing. There can be a lot of loose stuff up there, depending on the coverage and time of year. Also, I bet it will be a circus up there on Memorial Day weekend. It's not that steep -- I'm pretty much a huge pussy when it comes to downclimbing and I had no trouble downclimbing the thing at all. I bet you'll be fine. My $0.02 Tvash's idea is good, too.

lol the comments section in that article made my day, thanks!

Then Ivan would only have like 5 TRs. and like, 5 posts total

You mean I can't get my buzz on and then get behind the wheel of a 4000 lb vehicle?? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ENJOY THE GAME? The terrorists have already won. What's next, cycle tracks??? Fucking commies

I miss the good ol' days when the BAC limit was .15 -- a guy could really enjoy a ballgame back then, before the nanny state took over with it's money-making agenda.

Can you find a chart of the increase in revenue the gov't plans to make off this plan to save lives? "the gov't" you mean, like each city and state's individual projected revenue increases from additional DUIs within their jurisdictions, combined into a single number? Do you think they're all in on it together??? OMG! How much do you think they're paying the NTSB? What's Obama's share?

OMG AGENDA!!!

LOL, I know right?? Something smells ROTTEN!!!

You should try using scholar.google.com, although usually you only get the abstract. But whipping out an abstract scares away most people, anyway. And isn't that really all that matters? Anyway, I found this relevant article *about* a study. What could be more trustworthy than an article about a study? From US News, no less! http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/brain-and-behavior/articles/2011/06/24/even-one-glass-of-beer-wine-boosts-car-crash-risk-study Here's the abstract if you're into that kind of thing.

http://www.northeastern.edu/open/Green_Zone.html Maybe this is why I've discovered I'm happiest having just a few drinks.

I'm not assuming anything, except that maybe it's *not* a grand conspiracy and that *maybe* there is something behind the vast corraborating research on the subject that took me about 30 seconds to find on the internet. I love how personally you take this stuff. Do you have more articles that you think do a better job proving how "rotten" this is?

I see your point. But, does the National Safety Board get a percentage of every drunk driving fine, you think? What do you think is "rotten"? It sounds like they've done research that indicates that even a slight impairment (.04 and below) has negative effects on driving. A quick look on wikipedia and google seems to confirm this line of reasoning. Assume for a second that it's accurate, and the research is valid -- why would it be allowed for drivers behind the wheel of a thousand+ pound vehicle capable of ruining lives to be at a level of impairment that is measurably negative in reproducible studies? Have you seen any research that refutes the impairment present at .05 and above? If you have, post it up. I'd be interested to see some data that says that .08 BAC isn't actually that bad. Also, from that article, it sounds like lowering the limit to .08 was quite successful in reducing drunk driving fatalities. How do you reconcile that against your rotten smell? You think this is all a trick?

Um, this wasn't my logic at all, nor did I say anything that should have given you that impression. I believe my logic was that .05 seems like a reasonable limit, based on department of transportation studies on the effects of alcohol and driving (published by the CDC) and based on the current laws of most other developed western nations. If you have data that indicates that .08 isn't actually that high nor have many ill-effects on driving, feel free to post up -- I don't really have a vested interest here and would be open to scientific data. But don't cry like a baby about it

The beer they serve at ballgames barely even has any alcohol in it -- my daughter could probably have three and still get her homework done before bed I dunno, I wouldn't care if they lowered it to .05 -- that's what it is throughout much of the world and nearly all of Europe. According to the CDC, .05 isn't that low: http://www.cdc.gov/Motorvehiclesafety/Impaired_Driving/bac.html

I don't even really like alcohol that much. It kind of makes you feel like shit to have more than two or three drinks. I like a good bourbon, but getting drunk just kinda sucks. Am I getting old?

I pity the poor fucker who has to go to Afghanistan to find work. I sure won the fucking lottery being born white in America.

Yeah, well it was probably excruciating to the Americans they killed on 9/11 or the American soldiers they killed in Iraq while we were trying to liberate them and bring democracy and freedom.

I can't believe they're forcing food into their bodies to keep them alive, that's so cruel

Oh no, it's contagious!

What are your thoughts on the viability of the appeal? Do you think it will succeed?

A good point, however Obama was pretty clear in his re-election campaign that he doesn't think younger teenagers should have access to emergency contraception, so I don't think it's fair to take him off the hook here although I guess it's also unfair to be surprised by his administration's actions. Sebelius works for Obama, not the other way around, so I'm not sure I agree that this wasn't Obama's decision to make. Clearly, he holds authority over his cabinet members. Also, the Justice Department is also appealing this, so that's two cabinet members under Obama's administration pulling this shit. Either he's in agreement, or he's lost control of the Executive Branch -- either case pisses me off.
