Why should we only be expected to talk to our own representatives? I mean, I get the idea, but seriously, you're saying that I shouldn't contact about 98% of the people that make laws governing what I can and cannot do.

Hell, I'm too young to vote anyways, but that don't stop me from calling my reps occasionally. I still gotta live by their laws.

Um, K-Mart? I got a 4-pack of 2650Mah Duracell's for $10, not even on sale. Not bad considering they'll last a year even in high-drain devices like my digital camera. And when they get too weak for that they'll still last weeks in a cordless mouse, or would be great for a remote control. You should be able to find a charger for no more than $10 too.

Personally, I only have two pairs of rechargeables. One for my camera, one for my mouse. But other than remote controls, that's all I really have that takes batteries anymore. Surely you can afford $20 for batteries for a year!

...that's actually a problem, people getting pantlegs stuck in bicycle chains? First I've ever heard of it....

He better have used a new replica Model M. I nearly cried when I saw that. Such destruction of such beauty!

...of course, this comes from the kid with the Dvorak layout Model M that he cleans every week or so with Q-tips and a toothpick.
