@hoorayimhelping Bunch of pussies; I was in the heat for 12 hours yesterday sitting on a 300 degree block of steel.
@pig_poetry Hopefully they WILL, because animal control sure wasn’t. That’s why the Sheriff is taking over.
DurhamCounty Durham County Sheriff’s Office will officially take responsibility for animal services on July 1. New regular response hours are 8a to 10p.
Nearly wrecked when a tractor trailer hauling sawdust blinded both my eyes while doing 80 on the interstate. :-|
@ddahlke absolutely, plus (my) satisfaction is guaranteed!
@flyosity @pmccall777 @gigq ‘CUZ ‘MURRICA!
@emilepetrone @whitehouse I gave up on them months ago
I’ve been clocked at 130 groin kicks per minute.
@dcm This is some good stuff; Firefox Sync seals the deal.
jcrclarksonesq To take away the taste of Coke with FUCKING lemon, I have now drunk two bottles of wine.
@ameir IDK dude, I compared the weather forecasts; the temps & humidities are quite similar. http://t.co/Bmj5Jkss vs http://t.co/5W9bTskD
@ameir But we’ve got some sweet Syrian weather coming up next!
@flyosity Nope, thankfully my current bike has a center stand so it’s quite stable… other bikes with side stands notsomuch.
As summer heats up, it’s important to remember that asphalt is a liquid.
@dcm I’ll definitely try it out; I wanted to like FF when I tried it last year but it was far slower than the standard Android browser.
Super cool! http://t.co/RsJeVzSk

@hoorayimhelping Haven’t used smarty since 2007 & haven’t missed it once.
@mattmeis can do, but not until I get back to ‘Murrica & can upload from my DSLR
@covati Loïc didn’t know what I was talking about at first. I had to describe them & then he said “oh, you can only get those at bakeries.”
Saw 4 tourists walking around holding up iPads as cameras today. So I took pictures of them.
@covati coffee & crepes & paninis thus far… I’ll ask my host about beignets. Headed across the street right now to a wine bar.
@carolinewv Hmmmm we haven’t learned how to defend flying baby doll attacks in Krav Maga yet… I should bring this up with my instructor.
Had trouble finding the Sewer Museum today. Totally worth it. FYI standing above rushing raw sewage smells marginally worse than the subway.
A dirty gypsy tried to pull the “excuse me, did you just drop this REAL gold ring” scam on me. I gave him The Stare.
Finally trying out airbnb & I’ve found numerous bugs in their app. Staying with a French guy named Loïc for $50 / night in central Paris!

That was 17 hours of train rides between Copenhagen & Paris. Should have been 16 but one train broke down.
Somehow managed to successfully switch trains at 6 AM despite the fact that they don’t announce the stops. Only a few more hours to Paris.
Denmark’s surveillance state rivals that of Great Britain.
@ddahlke They had two coffee machines that blow ours out of the water…
@ConnieLopp Weather is mostly dreary, but it’s light 19 hours a day. The only museum I visited was the Danish WWII Resistance Museum
@carolinewv Just trying to be positive. I could complain about the prices, weather, how it’s light 18 hrs / day, etc…
Doin’ it right in Denmark: the waiter doesn’t take your credit card, he brings a wireless card swiper to the table.
Doin’ it right in Denmark: traffic lights transition green -> yellow -> red -> yellow -> green.
Today I donned scrubs to tour a state-of-the-art biochemical manufacturing facility. I could tell you more, but I’d have to kill you.

If you think texting while driving is bad, you should see these Danes texting while bicycling.
@adamrawlings yep, go for it
It turns out that Monday is Denmark’s Sunday.
Sat next to a senior captain on my flight to NJ. He confirmed that starting pay for full-time pilots is under $20,000 per year. :-/
@knucklesandwich true, but being clinched up with a guy for several minutes is a terrible idea in the real world
UFC is terrible. Ground fighting is boring to watch plus in real life it’s a great way to get kicked in the head by your opponent’s friend.
@MichaelCasp Sometimes it’s a fine line between sarcasm and ignorance…
@MichaelCasp You realize that the very definition of IQ mandates that half the population has an IQ of below 100, right?
@flyosity wow, right up there with the Biebs
@covati If only there were some service that could take care of posting for you…
I was going to boldly state that “wireless networking will never beat wired networking” but then I remembered quantum mechanics.
@ameir looks right up my alley
atimiscott #PetPeeve is emails with attachments that are just for the signature area, making it impossible to find the attachment I’m looking for.

Who are the UX engineers at Facebook and Google+ who decided that autocropping user-uploaded images was acceptable?
Log truck lost its cargo at the Northgate offramp on 85N. Biggest mess I’ve seen in a while.
