@skinnylatte Oh, come to Champaign-Urbana!!! NYT wrote up our Chinese restaurants :P
But yea. "Just leave!" is just not a solution.

@skinnylatte This is very true. We are a lot better than Chicago or Minneapolis/St. Paul but .... frozen is frozen. For my Norse/Celtic/WesternEuropean DNA, it's fine.

@inthehands Yea, now you have to defend the need for actually thinknig at all.
However, now the advantages of learning the thinking can mean you're very, very different from those who choose not to do it. (Reminds me of the Asimov story of the guy who learned to do arithmetic in days of everything already calculated. Hmmm. Mebbe folks should read that.)

@inthehands I took intro Java pre-AI and the instructor worked hard to design the course so we couldn't just search for the answers. He spent a whole lecture carefully making us build the idea of "object oriented."
Then he spent the next lecture re-building it, faster.
So, even the simpler stuff we learned to do without using simpler models that wouldn't hold up later.
I loved being an experienced teacher sitting back and just watching a master of the art. This is community college and he was growing brains right there in front of me.

@Mikal F***. F****.

@benroyce I voted today.
I tell myself even if my lefties don't have a chance, every vote for them is noticed by the Mainstream dudes. And ... who knows? Anything can happen in a primary.

@ai6yr My brother fell asleep in his car in snowmageddon in 2010 and folks thinking they were digging out a car found his CO poisoned body (and b/c of the nature of cause of death being still having color in skin, tried CPR). (Exactly same deal: snow covered up tailpipe.)
When the Balt Sun said there were no fatalities, my sister corrected them and now they include CO warnings when power outages are likely.

@TheEddieShow @_L1vY_ I got one ... the wrong one, it turns out ... 'cause I thought it would also have a USB port, but it's just a small car charger. I mean, I don't have a car, I just figured it would be cool to have it on the bike to charge other stuff and ... rescue somebody.
I am suspecting others bought the things too, though, since I have *not* seen that winter scenario of the cars lined up with the big cables.

@WarnerCrocker what would this be like if it were warm?

@FlashMobOfOne that makes me smile :)

@inthehands LESSON TO THOSE OF US NOT THERE: BUILD THE BONDS.

@inthehands
led
troops
not lead troops :P but yes.
OUr rep spoke today at our MLK event about .... this.

@beckett @Allkinds @bmacDonald94
I KNOW RIGHT????
THere's a little gang of them pulling the strings. If he were to disappear, they'd rearrange the strings.

@FlashMobOfOne Hope they find it in a timely manner ;( :( I'd hop on my bicycle for you if I could...

@FlashMobOfOne a delightful share :)

@FlashMobOfOne Really????
I suspect it's insanely predatory.

@ai6yr You in that attire, that's what I want a picture of ;)

@NanoRaptor
Getting enough sleep is amazing. JUST AMAZING.

@skinnylatte How does the rest of the world say it?

@FlashMobOfOne awesome :) :)
I did sit down and text family about things like heart attacks and babies, rent a car for holiday travels, and paid some bills. we'll see if I can stand up again :P
