…maybe your experience with “most places” and mine are very different then? I know there ARE roads with bike lanes, some places in the world, I’m just not sure I’ve ever seen them in any of the states I’ve lived in.

Madison is definitely more bicycle-friendly than average here. We have bike trails (once the last bit is finished, I can go from my house to work (~10 km away) without riding along side of a road), roads with bike lanes, and it is generally better for pedestrians. But… even without that, you don’t have city planners in places actively trying to /prevent/ bicycle travel in most places around the US.

I’d like to take this moment to honor the brave sacrifice of my laptop’s power supply. Faced with a stray power surge, it fearlessly took the hit, giving up its own life to shield that of my laptop. We mourn its loss.

(Does anyone know where I can buy a new ADP-120ZB BB and have it shipped to Norway? I kind of would like to be able to charge my laptop again.)

Help my Kritter, if you can. Do not let this power brick’s sacrifice be in vain!

Well… the rains gotta stop somewhere

Oh my god, someone has footage of it! I remember one time my dad, lil brother, and I were leaving a Ryan’s. We were waiting for a chance to hop onto the road and in the distance we just saw everything turn grey. We saw it come closer and closer and come to find out it was rain!

It was just a wall of rain – the end of the rain, really. I’ve never seen it again, but it’s so cool to see footage of the edge of rain!

This is such a frequent occurrence in South Florida that I didn’t think it was weird until after I left.
