I don't think you bastardized it. It's becoming standard 'english' to manipulate participles and verbs into nouns by adding the 'er,' which makes me exceptionally grumpy in some crosswords. I just couldn't find anything that said 'bike shedder' specifically so I wanted to make sure.

Bike shedders? Bike shedding had an explanation wikipedia, if that's the phrase you meant to pull from. It's a new term for a concept I'm familiar with. I like it.

I've never been near VC companies, so I can only imagine how much of it happens there compared to elsewhere.

Right pocket on the uniform, because I fear putting my shears and stethoscope in the same pocket, and the shears have a tip that doesn't facilitate the left pocket, and the stethoscope rubber is too grabby on the phone.

Left pocket in general, because my wallet is in the right and I hate them clanking together.

Closest analogous conflicts I could imagine would be when the us bombed eastern europe. Urban areas would be bereft of food and incoming supplies, rural areas would be bereft of most foods and incoming supplies, and everyone devolves into roving gangs and desperate attempts to fortify an area of 'trusted' neighbors.

Reading the first hand accounts of what people went through is enough to make me horrified whenever anyone talks about the possibility of a civil war with glee. They don't have the imagination or the knowledge to comprehend what neighbor vs. neighbor really looks like.

Sniff*, eh? I think the snuff vids would have the heads underneath as heavy weights were placed on top...

This is me. :( I am so panicked by that 1100 hours appointment that I can't do anything for the entire morning, and ABSOLUTELY MUST leave with time to spare for traffic, getting pulled over, and maybe an unfortunate incident with the neighbor's cat, just in case!

I'm bad with the 'routine' stuff, where I once had to call in sick to work because I couldn't find my keys, or I am on the computer, typing a reply on lemmy, when I have five minutes until I need to leave for work... speaking of... glances at clock

Sailing, maybe, but rowing doesn't have to be upper middle class. I'm solidly lower middle class, if that, and I get by. With the club, it's about the same as a gym membership subscription at the end of the day.

No, why the fuck would you watch anything? Get out there and do the thing! I think I would rather watch paint dry (and have, don't get involved in research with darpa, folks) than watch someone else do something fun. It's just cuckoldry.

Ha, I wish! They've fired people already for merely obscuring the camera for a few seconds. There is a hilarious clip of someone reaching up with a pair of scissors and getting the wire, but I like having a steady job with insurance too much. Maybe when I get tired of this shit and get hired somewhere else.

I feel ya, mate. I've got the same thing in my company vehicle. It absolutely irritates the shit out of me that anyone above my level of the hierarchy can look at me any time they want.

Tell me about it. Every time I get near the planes we use for skydiving, I can smell the damn difference.

The worst part is, the media DID cover it. The big lads may not have, but there were plenty of articles, photos, videos, blogs, and people talking about all of those to have woken up anyone with a conscience. It just turns out that it may be easier than anyone thought to have people turn off their conscience.
