Ubikeuitous

This is nice and all, but I will never, ever, ever ride a bike on a road in the US, and especially not in the South.

Why? People will fucking kill you, that’s why. Some deliberately, out of anger, but most because they are bad and inattentive drivers.

Literally every person I’ve ever known here who is an avid biker has had at least one bad accident involving a car.

I don’t like hospitals. Don’t want to spend time in one so I can make a liberal smile. And I like riding bikes. I wish I could do it. But I’ve already put my life at risk enough times. I must be running out of lives at this point, so biking on streets of death is not for me.

Where I Chrome

Now using Chromium as my browser about the half the time. When Firefox 57 comes out, that’ll be the end for me with Firefox. Only one of the extensions I use will ever work in the new, “improved” Firefox, so if they want to make a Chrome clone, I might as well use that.

Happens all the time

This is manifestly untrue. I gained well over 15 pounds of muscle in only two months in US Army basic training.

I went from 135 pounds to 153 pounds from early September 1994 to late October of the same year. And yep, it was muscle — had my body fat ratio measured.

A more accurate sentence would read, “Nearly no women can gain 15 pounds of muscle in 3 months.”

I build muscle very quickly and even at my age I think I could still put on 15 pounds of muscle in 3 months if I trained like I did in the Army.

(At my largest in the Army, I was around 174 pounds with 8% body fat. But then, I worked out four hours a day, 5-6 days a week.)
