    Nice.

    I've only been using the ferry for three months and I cringe every time I see it!

    I assume this is the Jetraider you mean. Why is it so bad? Please post the horrible details for my edification. (Does this finally qualify as genuine schadenfreude, Giovanni?)

  • Hard News: God's squads,

    Thanks, fellas. Now about being wrong about everything else ... :)

    I'd admit you were right about that, but I worry about universe-swallowing paradoxes...

  • Island Life: Difficult to swallow,

    Has anyone noticed that this is the 1000th Public Address post?

    You're just tricking me into posting another meme, aren't you?

    Good point, I suppose - but how in that case would you define a 100% BPOTUS? Things could get kind of silly if you're going to chasing back through family histories.

    And as for female presidents in fiction, I give you Project Moonbase (1953).

    I have no idea how she could have inferred 'brainwashed' from 'drones' either. What next, 'mindless'?

    but more than that we have very little to assess how he'll really stack up against the issues that face him.

    Fair enough.

    4 more years of totalitarianism there

    Wait, wat?

    She could never believe us that the Quickcat was actually a pleasant form of transport. Kids these days will never know (or care) how much things have improved.

    Not me. I count a school trip on the Kestrel to Motuihe on a rainy, stormy day as my lowest point in passenger comfort, for any mode of transport. I doubt it'll ever be beaten.

  • Up Front: Come Out, Come Out, Wherever…,

    A topical post for me. I have a friend who is currently in the process of coming out as bi - and they're being extremely cautious about who they tell, worrying about the reactions of people who've been their staunch friends for years. I'd assumed it was easier than that in 2008, but clearly we still have a long way to go.
