Father, farmkid, enginerd, pilot. I love simplicity, subsidiarity, cycling, and the occasional scotch.

@emzanotti Those look like work uniforms to me. Literally the only mostly normal thing in the picture.

@StrixLeshay @wayofftheres Just when you think she's being nice... "Bah Gawd! She's got a steel chair!"

@DavidAFrench Your addition of the word "superior" is poisoning the well. The issue is not that Americans are superior, but that they are distinct. There's no qualitative claim being argued. The point is which defines *identity* more: the hospital you were born in or the family who raised you?

@BillPlaschke Of course you go. It's the President of the United States. In the White House. You don't have to like the guy to appreciate it for what it is.

@DondoloParisi @CptAncapistan @RokoMijic It most certainly was:
How big is a foot?
About a foot.
How big is a yard?
About a step.
How big is an inch?
About a thumb.
Pints and pounds, which are basically the same thing are similarly human-scaled. Even a minute is about the limit of anaerobic human exertion.

@ChrisMartzWX Fahrenheit is in fact a metric system: On a scale of 0 to 100, what does the temperature feel like to a person?

[Jon Kl @Al_Yokel]

@shagbark_hick Yes and no. Cars are less important when your daily commute and weekly grocery run are less than a mile. But more important when dentists/eye doctors/etc are an hour away.

Driving 45 minutes for the restaurant one town over is more a cultural thing than it is necessity.

@pegobry_en Fahrenheit is the true metric system: On a scale of 0 to 100, what does the temperature feel like to a person? -18 to 38 doesn't make any sense.

@Rossputin It's simple: Trump makes people stupid.

@JeremiahDJohns Basketball fans need a similarly catchy name for the way OKC plays.

@NixonPunished Both foxes are actually top right quadrant.

@OVTweetmarck I'm too far west for Yuenglings, but fortunately Sam still has national distro, and my brats will soon get a Banquet bath.

@a_fellow_of @politicalmath @QiaochuYuan Planet Narnia really does unlock the whole series.

[Jon Kl @Al_Yokel]

@politicalmath @QiaochuYuan Susan is the only fictional character I have ever felt compelled to pray for.

Also, I was on a hiking trail this summer that felt like the end: Further up and further in!

@theblessedsalt @FrancosGhost The point is that authorship isn't some accident of the 14th Amendment's existence, but a fundamental characteristic of it, and pretending it's the former is... disingenuous at best.

[Jon Kl @Al_Yokel]

@theblessedsalt @FrancosGhost Precisely because your argument is absurd.
