axoplasm:

Right way to lock your bike by boxdogbikes on Flickr.

One time while shopping a panicked fellow cyclist had “the owner of a Vanilla bicycle” (me) paged to the front of the store. He saw that I locked my bike like this.

“Are you aware someone could steal your bike by removing your wheel?” he asked, smugly.

“Come outside and show me how. I’ve been locking my bike like this for years.” I said.

He fiddled with my wheel for a minute or two and then looked utterly defeated.

“I should have known better, I’m a math teacher.” He said.

“It’s OK, your heart was in the right place.”

Sure this works but it still leaves the front wheel up for grabs (especially one with a quick release). Do this on the front wheel, include the frame in the U, make sure your rear bolts are super tight and everything’s safe and sound. Unless some bozo with a wrench and some free time wants to jack your rear. Either way, it’s impossible to secure both wheels with just a U-lock.

Inmate Sues Taco Bell, Says Idea For Doritos Locos Tacos Was His

Fri, 17 May 2013 09:24:25 -0700

Inmate Sues Taco Bell, Says Idea For Doritos Locos Tacos Was His:

In September 2006, Cole wrote up a list of nine product ideas. Most of them were assorted products — hot sauces, body oils, health mixes — to be sold under the brand “Divas and Ballers.” But one, the second in the list, was “Taco Shells of All Flavors (Made of Doritos).”

The complaint says Cole sent the list to Janice B Cole and Keoiana K. Cole in September 2010 — but that the letter was “stolen through the United States Postal Service Mail and submitted to Frito Lays [sic], Taco Bell, Pepsi Co, Yum Brands,” by someone whose identity remains a mystery to Cole. The companies gave the mail thief “a check … for a large amount” for the rights to his idea, then started manufacturing and selling the Doritos Locos Taco, the complaint says. It is unclear how Janice and Keoiana Cole are connected to Gary Cole.

The truth comes out

Boy that line between art and advertising sure is getting thin. Let’s all be sure to thank Daft Punk for pioneering the acceptance to pound it completely out of existence.

“We realise that something which makes sense in a local frame may make less sense in a broader frame: dumping your waste in the river is fine as long as you don’t think too much about the people downriver. When you do, you might decide to stop dumping. Government ought to be the process by which such overlapping ‘bigger picture’ considerations are negotiated: good government should make empathy practical.”

- Brian Eno (via azspot)
