A depressing trend for many a thick knob handler (shartsoul et al.).
Vancouver’s ban on the humble doorknob likely to be a trendsetter
http://www.vancouversun.com/Vancouver%20humble%20doorknob%20likely%20trendsetter/9173543/story.html
"In Vancouver, the doorknob is heading into a setting sun. Its future has been date-marked, legislated out of existence in all future construction, a tip to society’s quest for universal design and the easier-to-use lever handle.
And as it goes in Vancouver, so will it go in B.C., Canada, and perhaps even the world.
Vancouver is the only city in Canada with its own building code, so the changes made here are often chased into the B.C. Building Code and Canada’s National Building Code, and then put into practice in cities and towns across Canada. Vancouver’s influence is wide. And as go the codes, so too goes the construction industry.
Remember the regular toilet? Try to find one. Low-flush is all there is to be had. The incandescent light bulb? Sorry, just energy-saving fluorescent or LED now in most stores.
The change has crept up on us silently and without fanfare. Look at any new condo building. Any new office door. Any door to a public washroom that doesn’t have pneumatic hinges and a push-pad. There they are, these silver, black or brass-coloured levers that can spring a door open with even a forearm when hands are filled.
And, as doorknobs go, so too will go those other ubiquitous knobs, the ones that turn on and off water faucets. For they too are being legislatively upgraded to levers more conducive to the arthritic, gnarled or weakened hands we earn with age.
In September, Vancouver council adopted new amendments to its building code, effective next March, that, among other things, will require lever handles on all doors and lever faucets in all new housing construction."

Finally a post addressing some real, thought provoking, super important goddamn issues in society. Albeit Canada.
Bravo.

I wish Texas would finally secede and create a true Constitutional Republic like what the founding fathers had in mind. Uncle Brobama and his ilk can keep the fuck out! No one would ever try to invade since everyone is armed to the teeth and is not a limp-wristed twink. Full flush toilets, regular light bulbs, firearms for all adults who want them, hot babes (Texas chicks are smoking), and most importantly NO COMMIES TAKING ALL OUR MONEY AND RIGHTS AWAY!!!! If only.....

I would pack my shit and move to South Texas in heartbeat.
On my way I would take huge greasy burrito loaded shit right in the middle of:

Another shitty thread. We need to have a workshop.

Speaking of Texas, ever notice they have never held one of those G20/G8 summits in Texas where all the douchebag property destroying anarchists show up?
I think its too bad they haven't because it would be fun to watch what happens when one of these anarchist breaks some shopkeeper's window there
