But I brought enough kimchi for everyone...

So I'm going to Pittsburgh, Austin and Nashville in the near future. Anyone from those places?

Also San Diego

Check out Jester King in Austin; Port, Stone, The Lost Abbey, Green Flash, Alesmith and Alpine in/near San Diego and you could pick up some Tröegs and Victory beers in Pittsburgh.

Happy boozing!



Also, DAAAYUMN California... loads of amazing breweries there.

Pennsylvania is a cesspool that doesn't deserve to exist.

Their drivers can't understand the concept of keeping right when you're not passing, and are always going 5-10 mph under the speed limit.

You've obviously never been anywhere decent, then.

I'm sorry.

Just throw it on rice and eat. Simple but effective.



I figure you're fine as long as you move from the fast lane if someone comes up behind you. You know, as opposed to making them go around on the right or something.

Worst place for slow drivers was the maritime provinces in Canada. Good Lord even 10 km/h under the speed limit and you'll feel the need to pass people putting along. When the limit is 80 and the person in front of you is going 70 and then passing someone doing less than that...

It's not about only using half of the road, it's about letting people going faster than you pass you. I will definitely give anyone the bird if they're not moving out of the fast lane and they're going the speed limit or less. The fast lane is for people doing 5-10 mph over, aka the good drivers.

If you see someone flicking their hi-beams at you coming up behind you on the highway, it's because you're too ******* slow and you need to move over.

I rage when I drive because everyone in Washington is absolutely **** awful at it. YOU DRIVE IN THE RAIN FOR 8 ******* MONTHS A YEAR, HOW ARE YOU STILL BAD AT IT?!

It's a fairly written rule in our country to "keep right" on the highway (or roads in general). By fairly written I mean the kind where you get a ticket if they catch you not doing it. The left lane is only for passing other vehicles, which is why it's called "the passing lane" here (overhalingsbanen). If you're driving at the same speed as those in the right lane, why not just use the right lane? If you're driving faster than them then you've got every right to be in the left lane as you're passing them.

Nothing annoys me more than someone sitting in the left lane when there's no one in the right lane, though. They have to keep right so that others can use the left lane to pass them (using the right lane to pass someone is illegal). If you don't keep right when someone approaches from behind, you can get a ticket for "traffic harassment." Costs a point on your driver's license and a fine.

Hey protein, I have a sciencey question for you, since you're like a biologist or something. I've been doing research on alternative treatments for my ADHD. The main cause of ADHD is not having enough of dopamine, norepinephrine, and/or serotonin. Stimulants claim to increase the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, but I've got a few aggravating side effects from the one I'm on, and they're expensive to boot. Some supplements that are supposed to help are 5-HTP, L-Glutamine and L-Tyrosine, so I'm going to try taking those this month (after I get them in the mail) instead of the Ritalin and see how it compares. I'm also considering trying L-DOPA at a later date, but I'm hesitant to try it right away since possible side effects of that particular chemical seem pretty nasty. I was just wondering if you had any opinion on whether taking those supplements might be effective in combating a deficiency in dopamine and norepinephrine.

Is there any associated description of what they did?

Found the thread, and apparently not. This is cool though: http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-Macro-Digital-Cameras-Lenses/dp/B006T4USAI

You must have a pretty warped definition of normal, because they're pretty common. But then again, your first mistake was looking to Austin for normal. When they say "keep Austin weird," they're not exaggerating.

Also, Chicago and Seattle, two of the greatest cities? Going to have to respectfully disagree there - but hey, this whole thing is subjective, anyways.

What cities would you put ahead of them? Major metropolitan areas, to be clear. San Diego, New York and San Francisco would all be up there, but then you need to go to Europe and Canada.

I honestly can't think of a city in the USA that I would rather visit than Seattle or Chicago, especially during the summer for Seattle. I've been to literally every major city in the US (and every state) and none have impressed me as much as Seattle.

I'll give Chicago as a Top 10 City, but Seattle? That's like the birthplace of the coffee suckin' hipster. Let it sink into the ocean for all I care for inventing that plague.
